What is a good lineup.

[DYC]

.. now that all of the prizes and props are brought in and out through doors at stage right, could the show do an all-turntable episode just for the sake of amusing themselves (and annoying the stagehands whose job it is to load and unload the turntable)?

Make Your Move (4:00)
Spelling Bee (5:30)
Push Over (3:30)
Clock Game (5:00)
Bullseye or Grocery Game (5:00)
Cover Up (5:00)

(28 minutes)

I don't have an ideal lineup but I always smile anytime I see Check Game and Ten Chances, especially in the same show which is rare.

Overplayed games will never be in my ideal lineup so no That's Too Much, Flip Flop, Coming or Going.

And I don't know why but I don't like seeing cash games in the #6 slot.  They do it with To The Penny and it feels out of place.  Play them  earlier in the show to create more excitement and game #6 should be quick car game or quickie game for 1 or 2 prizes.  By Game #6, people are ready for the 2nd SS and the Showcase so don't draw it out.

1) Vend-o-Price
2) 10 Chances
3) Back to 7x
4) Pick-A-Number
5) Grand Game
6) More or Less

Not sure if the 10 Chances counts as an SP game

It does not -- although this seems like an odd thing to be concerned about, seeing as you've got both Vend-O-Price and Grand Game in there.

At least two car games and one cash game:
1) Any Number
2) Bonus Game
3) Squeeze Play
4) Shopping Spree
5) 10 Chances (My favorite)
6) Punch a Bunch

Another one (two car games and one cash game):
1) Cover-Up
2) Shell Game
3) Side-by-Side
4) Danger Price
5) Plinko
6) Money Game

[tpirfansince1972]

My ideal line-up with the games currently in the rotation, adhering to one car game per half, an SP & GP game plus other quick games...

1. Golden Road

2. Punch A Bunch (not Plinko)

3. Clock Game

4. Range Game

5. Ten Chances

6. Bullseye


I'm not entirely certain why anybody would place "Double Prices" in a "Dream" line-up.  The game is fine for what it is, a big time saver, but hardly a "dreamy" game to me.

Depending on your lineup, you may need a "big time saver" to achieve your dreams because you only have so much time with which to work.

Though I sometimes like to contemplate what will happen to Price when broadcast television finally dies and streaming is the way forward for the show. With no time limit and a significant reduction in commercials, the possibilities are attractive.
