From the Soap Opera Network, Price has reached a season high mark during the week of January 15th, just a smidge under 5 million. It's the highest rated show in all of the important demographics and total viewers. It's down slightly from pre-pandemic numbers, but it's still the #1 show in all of daytime seeing that viewership is down across the board.

I hope I live long enough to see the 100th anniversary of this show!

If the show lasts long enough, I wonder who the host will be at that point. If Drew is even still living at the point of what would be the start of the 100th season (September 2071), he'd be 103. I'll be 74 so I could very well still be living.

This doesn't account for viewers watching it on the CBS App, an online streaming service that carries CBS, or DVRing it, so considering how many more options there are these days, both in terms of watching Price itself as well as other shows, it's still a remarkable performance.

Price has all of the elements necessary to continue indefinitely. What all the elements do is fall under the umbrella of variety.

Always a vast variety of people/contestants, prizes, pricing games, and the prices themselves vary due to inflation (especially now).

A variety of music cues, variety of prize models yet the format remains unchanged since late 1975. It's a beautifully designed game, like baseball, so long as they don't tinker with it too much the way MLB has been in recent years with baseball.
