[GameShowKid]

I wish we had more time during the show for Stage 33 history, but no need with the internet these days.

Three models for One Right Price! Old school. It would have been even more so if Drew had called for the third model to bring out the price. 😊

I was thinking the price in Money Game would be $33,272. 😊

Yikes! Those bids on the makeup and skin care bundle. $1 after a bit of $70??

The last 3 pricing games were the first 3 ever played on that stage, in reverse order. Great to see a win in Any Number, and very nice to hear a couple of the older auto cues there and in the showcase.

[SeaBreeze341]

What a show.  Can't forget to mentione 0011D in reverse to end things.  Including the outcomes, and just like in the first one, the Bonus Game winner was the showcase winner.  What a way to go out!

[Gameshowgenius26]

Today was certainly something special! In spite of the two losses, the wins made it all the more worth while. And Drew was not the only one who assumed that the last two numbers for that Mazda in Money game was 18, I did too TBH. Either way, it'll be interesting to see TPiR at a new location, with a full capacity audience again, and with new possibilities. The only thing that I'm curious about is that if TPiR will have a full capacity audience again, will Let's Make a Deal have one as well? Especially since they'll be moving to the exact same studio as TPiR.

[Wayoshi]

Man, there's really no love lost with Rich Fields, huh?

[Renny]

It was a great way to close out an iconic era, with a few aspects actually reminiscing the first episode itself, like Justin winning his showcase after winning Bonus Game. The classic music cues mixed in definitely made it a bang.

[Gameshowgenius26]

Man, there's really no love lost with Rich Fields, huh?

Well, who knows for sure? Maybe Rich Fields has moved on to greener pastures and they've just had more memorable moments with George. Besides, don't forget that after Rich left the show, they've had guest announcers by the barrel before they settled on George Gray

[TinoStar11]

Studio 33 going out in style with One Right Price breaking a few Drew-era records ( and probably overall records ) today:
Most expensive non-car prize ever offered and combined prize package for both prizes ( non-cars )

[ooboh]

I absolutely knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that the last game was going to be Any Number. Not gonna lie, I actually got a little emotional at Drew's signoff, and I loved all of the little tweaks to George's spiels.

Man, there's really no love lost with Rich Fields, huh?

At this point, I think George Gray is closer to Johnny Olson than he is to Rich Fields.

[Macsen]

A single PG main prize under $10,000 (DP Patio Group of Doom). They couldn't edge one more $10k setup in, go all out?

Now to see what is in store for Season 52. Maybe some Seasons 52 stuff thrown in? 

[Chelsea]

The final bump shot before SCSD is absolutely beautiful; features nearly the entire current show staff (and CBS crew)

[MSTieScott]

The shot of the entire crew during the second closed captioning plug was a nice touch.

Stan readily admitted that he never paid attention to shirts when he was selecting contestants. And it's clear that the current contestant picker doesn't either, because otherwise we wouldn't have seen two of the first four contestants wearing shirts that said "Let me take the Big Wheel for a spin." (Unless those two contestants came from the same group, which is a bigger problem.)

I wondered whether they'd go Double Prices / Bonus Game / Any Number to finish the show, and I'm glad they did. I know it's been done before, but I can't think of a better way to end the last episode in Studio 33.

My actual, out-loud reaction when the SUV was revealed in Any Number: "Holy cow! It's a cue from the... '80s!" Close enough!

Good-bye, Television City. You weren't perfect, but you were familiar and homey, and when I picture The Price Is Right, it'll always be in Studio 33.

[b_masters8]

Love that, even though it was lost, Grand Game had the theming of Bob (Barker), Johnny (Olson), Rod(s) (Roddy), Hollywood, studio (33), and I Love You.

[EvilChameleon]

What a wonderful send-off to Studio 33. Felt almost like a series finale, but I'm glad it's not. May Price live on forever!
I know we have a few episodes left to air still, but many thanks for another season of recapping, Adam!

[crazypackersfan]

A nice finish for Studio 33, but I can't help but wonder if it would have been better to lead off with Golden Road where they could have shown the entire studio. I guess they were short on time, which is why neither that nor Plinko showed up (and Bonus Game couldn't have been used, etc.). I'm glad I got to go there before it closed (a full 10 years ago) and I'll always remember it for being so tiny that even my church's auditorium was even bigger than it. I really hope everyone's going to be back for Season 52, and if so, then there's nothing to worry about for quite some time to come.
