When I saw Safecrackers, I immediately thought that there would be a car in there... What a way to start off the show that would be!
I was sorely disappointed to see the trip to Washington DC.
When I saw Safecrackers, I immediately thought that there would be a car in there... What a way to start off the show that would be!Even though it is the nation's capital, that was a real miss. And like I said, I don't know why Golden Road wasn't played first instead of this.
I was sorely disappointed to see the trip to Washington DC.
"Salute to Military Families". Wow. Just a "Salute to the Military" would have been good enough.
Although I like seeing Safe, pretty much a run-of-the-mill first half with toss-up choices for prices. Nothing exciting at all.
Rat Race: That was close! I had to rewind my DVR and go frame-by-frame to see if they got it right. :-P Also, a prize that Bob would never allow -- a hot dog maker.
Grandy: Great win! As I've said before, I like seeing cashers sixth. Unfortunately, it was spoiled (for us, by seeing the height of the giant price tag) during the opening.
A pretty boring McGimmick show. I agree with those who said that leading off with Safe set us up for the "normal show with window dressing" feel. Aside from super awkward Safe Crackers (one reason these couple shows need to be limited is the preponderance of games that just don't work with couples), everything played out in boring fashion. Yawn. Drew even got bored enough he had to bring up Manuela's citizenship again after a year - make her feel secure before giving her the boot?For me, I think for right now it's ".............allegedly giving her the boot." But we'll see what happens. I hope it's not completely true and the new model (Danielle) is just a addition and nothing more.............

Safe Crackers (4.5) - 5:02 (...)
Any Number (5) - 4:00
Freeze Frame (4) - 3:20
Rat Race (6) - 5:33

I think these "special" shows are getting out of control, it's just gimmicks, gimmicks, gimmicks. Who cares about any of it? If they wanted to do a military themed show for the Fourth of July, okay fine - we've seen it before, it's sort of a tradition of The Price is Right to salute the military. But, did this really need to be a two-player show - and more to the point, hasn't the novelty of two-player shows worn off by now? Mother's day with two-players? Okay, makes sense. Father's day with two-players? Sure. But, military families? Kind of stretching it. Also, if they insist on having these two-player episodes, they shouldn't be playing games where one person has to directly interact with the game, like Safe Crackers in this instance - one person dials in the price, not two. Thank God they haven't played Hole in One on one of these two-player shows (yet).
Really, these theme shows are so commonplace now that the word "special" is hardly befitting because there's nothing special about them - they're ordinary shows with a little half-baked window dressing thrown on-top. The same prizes are offered on these "special" shows, the usual games are played, and usually the same outcomes take place. Just same old-same old. You want to have a special show? Play Triple Play, play Golden Road, play three car games, play It's in the Bag for $24,000 - instantly it's a special show because these things rarely happen. Giving away free bonus prizes like $500 gift cards or free iPhones or whatever it may be to everyone who gets on-stage is meaningless - no one cares because they didn't do anything to earn those prizes.
Why is it that of all the "Specials", it feels like the Military ones - that are billed as saluting our country's finest - always seem like they're some of the least-winning shows? Starting off the show with Safe Crackers... with a trip... with a 670/760 setup? Really?! Just bring them up and say "Thanks for your service; Here's a coin, flip away!" It's just disappointing.Sheer luck. That's all it is.

It's as if they take advantage of America's patriotism by using the military to garner attention without having to give anything substantial away.And that includes the Firefighters and Policemen this season as well.
With regards to the amount of these "Special" shows: My theory is that someone at the show worries about the summer reruns not earning ratings for not being new shows. So they're doing as many of these as possible so as to cram the summer full of a few solid weeks of nothing but "Specials".
Oh, and I wish they'd leave Freeze Frame out in the rain.
And that includes the Firefighters and Policemen this season as well.Actually, just the policemen. The firefighters didn't do as badly.
Actually, just the policemen. The firefighters didn't do as badly.I guess the Firefighters special was good, seeing that a car game (Line 'Em Up) was won. The Policemen one, however, was a cruel joke out of Mike's expense (One of the showcases that included a $1200 gift certificate for donuts?! *shaking my head*)
The 7,871st episode (188th for Season 41)How close is the show cutting the 8000th episode to April 1, 2014?
How close is the show cutting the 8000th episode to April 1, 2014?Let's see, April Fool's was 6291K this year, right, starting from the 6030s... let's project, starting with 6420s (which is being used up on a gimmick week) and what is looking like a similar schedule to this year that it is 6682K... start of 27th week... 26*5 = 130 max --> 8002nd... well, it's going to just miss with the two three-episode weeks and maybe a random 4 somewhere.
Maybe they want the contestants to work as a team.
Cause on Minute To Win It if you ever seen it before, It started out as a 1 player game show in Season 1, Then in season 2 every contestant that came on the show work as a team with a friend or family member.
Besides contestants ask family members and the audience, So why not have someone to them right there.
While they're at it, why don't they have the contestants poll every individual member of the studio audience and get their opinion? They could outfit the audience with voting devices and put the results up on-screen to gauge exactly what everyone thinks. Wait a minute... why does this sound so familiar?What's your point here? The rumor was Fremantle wanted more like Idol, not Millionaire.
