Prior to the fourth IUFB, Drew shows us cameraman Marty Wagner, who is retiring on this tape date after 35 years on the show and 55 years in the TV business. He's also worked for Match Game PM, the Ray Combs version of Family Feud, Card Sharks, The New $25,000 Pyramid and Dennis Miller Live. I'm guessing he was exclusive to MGPM for a few years, because IMDb says he's been on TPiR since 1972. Fourth IUFB: Treadmill (Avanti AT380; ARP: $1,399) (Gwendolyn)
Matthew is playing Squeeze Play for a baby grand piano. (w/ten 1hr lessons) (Manuela)

Well, I was thinking this wasn't going to be anything special. Then Toniann broke out the stoner bid. But the smell of freshly-burning bud in the air might be getting over— Sixth IUFB: 32" outdoor LCD HDTV (SunBrite TV; ARP: $2,595) (Rachel)
Toniann is coaxed over to the mugshot machine, because I'm bored and I want something on the Stoner Section, and Jeffrey is playing Squeeze Play for an outdoor kitchen island. (Summerset) (Gwendolyn)

Macsen here. Forgot the seating order and model list. So also fixing the premature skunking alert.
I could have thought it wasn't a skunking in progress since it wasn't the piggy bank that was won. Still glad we had an actual win though.
With the exception of the first DSW of the season, this episode should be forgotten for good.
That's all I'm gonna say.
Isn't it odd that Drew gave all of the rules to the showcases today, just before a DSW? Has he been giving the rules completely more often this year? Then again, that ARP is just asking for a DSW.
$26 is the best difference all the time????
Classy moves by Drew in recognizing Marty Wagner and also the CBS commissary worker who passed away. Whatever his faults as a host, there's no question Drew genuinely cares about people.

There was also a $5 and an $8 Showcase winner. I think there was also a $1 DSW once before.$4 and $2 as well, I think.
I'm wondering if either Freeze Frame or Squeeze Play was a replacement for an SP game, like maybe BOnus Game
there's a 1/4 chance of the ARP ending up between --000 and --250 anyhow.I respectfully disagree... when Mike thinks people will actually bid well, usually it won't be in this range. Although this has fallen off since Greco's departure, so maybe it was her method
And holy cripes, where is all the hatred for this episode coming from?! I thought this was one of the most enjoyable episodes in a while simply because Drew gave a damn today.So what do you make of him falling off the cliff basically after Grand?

Did anybody notice Drew's snide remark toward Barker after talking about Marty's retirement? I do not recall exactly what he said, but something like "Yeah, after 35 years, you just get tired of the show."
Aside from that, I'm sure that most of us on this forum remember Wendy from the 2/29/08 MDS. She tried to pick a zero for the last number of the car, but was rebuffed by Drew. She went with a one instead, causing most of us in chat to scream "FORK!" Then the last number was actually revealed to be a one and all hell broke loose in chatI was thinking back to that today - I didn't have an Internet connection in the TV room at that time, so I can't say I had it in chat, but I somehow figured it was -91 in the $32,591 *insert car name here*.
Was anyone else yelling at the TV for Estelle to pick 7 as the last number? If I had $2 left on the last number, I'd have to pick 7. I've seen prices in Lucky $even that end in 9 way too many times to count--and if Mike did decide to be nice and make the last number a 5, I'd still be covered.While yes, Estelle should have said 7 to cover 5-9... who actually picks to a range anymore? Even if she did, I'm sure 3-7 would have sounded just as good as 5-9 to her.
Historic Wrong® from Drew in Lucky $even. Yes, Drew, contestants have picked (or tried to pick) zeroes in this game before. There was even a time when zeroes actually appeared in the price.

How in the world was that a snide comment? Yes, the man probably got tired (both Bob Barker and Marty), beecause he worked on the same show for 35 FREAKING years. You try holding the same job for 35 years, especially in the television/radio/entertainment industry, and not have days when you feel like not coming into work. I'll bet that even the almighty Roger Dobkowitz had days when he didn't want to come into workFirst, I apologize -- it is likely that Drew's comment was not intended as snark, although it certainly seemed that way to me.
The problem with Barker "feeling like not coming into work" is that he never wanted to do Price, begging Bud Grant (then-head of CBS) to give him Gambit or The Joker's Wild instead. I really do not think this ever changed (his longevity a case of loving money, the root of many evils {the love of it, not the item itself}), and I honestly believe his idiocy as EP was an act of revenge...although, as William Padron has pointed out, Barker did stupid crap even in the 1970s. Dorothy Jo's death only made things worse.
In a more honest world, I have no doubt that Barker would have been let go in the early or mid-1990s in an effort to save face (cut off the problem at its root, that sort of thing). Instead, the public got lies and excuses while as everyone bowed to Barker and gently pushed him toward the exit. Barker not wanting to come into work when said job was being a gigantic tool with zero consequence...well, it just does not fly (unless he was sick, in which case the taping was cancelled; since, you know, getting a sub-host would have been EEEEEVVVVIIIIILLLLL!).
$6.79 for cashews? Just cashews? No pecans or brazils with them? For $6.79, I'd rather buy the generic brand of mixed nuts.
I hardly agree with everything Barker did backstage, but I have never, ever heard anything that tells me he didn't love The Price Is Right -- not even his request to host a different show before it started, which didn't appear to be based on anything about Price itself. Barker knew that show inside-out and cared deeply about doing it the right way.Barker apparently did not like those in charge of Price, although nobody was specified (Jay Wolpert, Mark Goodson, and Bill Todman are likely candidates). I had surmised that Barker hence just went through the motions for the money, then became...well, a prick...after becoming EP (although the tendencies were there since the 1970s, as Padron noted on this forum). Looking at your post and re-reading my own, I do believe I need to issue an apology for going into a...textual rage?...as I did.
They're whole cashews. Those are always more expensive than cashew halves and pieces. They're damn well worth it, too. :PEh, I prefer peanuts and almonds, myself. But only in chocolate bars (i.e., Snickers) or ice cream (Rocky Road).
