I don't know if the show was that bad guys and gals.
Just for you, I've decided to watch the episode.
I tend to only watch a new episode every month or so, so let's see what I've missed...
Half Off - Does Drew always rush through the box opening like that? I know we're far from the "alakazam" days but it seemed like he was trying to set a land speed record.
Double Prices - I'm still not used to using the turntable video walls for prize reveals! Has Double Prices ever been in front of the turntable like that?
Line 'Em Up - Tough break. A "0" in the middle of a price is always going to look awkward, I don't blame the contestant for switching away from it.
Vend-O-Price - Who was on Linda's "These are the guys I woke up to every morning" shirt? I saw Bob Barker, Drew Carey, and I think Bill Cullen, but I'm not sure who was on the bottom with the sunglasses. Kudos if she was trying to get 4 different TPIR hosts in there, but it didn't look like Kennedy, James, or Davidson down there to the best of my knowledge.
IUFB5 - How was that knife set so expensive???
Lucky Seven - Oh, they're playing this for 5-digit prizes now?
That was a tough price with a lot of extreme digits - she played pretty well, but that was so unlikely to be won.
Race Game - This is such a minor thing, but I like how the Race Game "jukebox" is initially shown on camera nowadays, completely straight-on. In the '80s episodes on PlutoTV, and in fact as long as I can remember, it's always been at an angle, but its art deco style really shines in that straight-on shot. Maybe it's just the restaging due to Covid, but I would love for that to stick around.
Showcase Showdown - I don't know if I ever realized the split-screen changes for spins #1 and #2 from full-split to arrow-split. That's kind of weird!
