Title: Re: TPiR Recap - 10/31/2019 (TPiR Season 48 Halloween Special: 50s Diner)
Post by: SanAnMan on October 31, 2019, 03:19:51 PM
I for one really enjoyed the 50's Diner theme of this year's Halloween special. Different and unique. Using the black/white filter for some of the cutaway shots gave it a neat flair. Not quite as fun as some of the previous Halloween specials, but still a good effort and appreciated.

I was really hoping that the Bellaire would've been won, and even though he lost, I agreed with Courtney's strategy on the gameplay. Ironically, if Courtney had followed the deodorant with the cake mix that would've been a win, or as Drew pointed out, picking 2 chips instead of the 1 would've also been a win.

As a side note, I never would've believed that a classic car like that Bellaire would've been less than $20 grand.

Because of the CBS News Special Report, the East Coast missed IUFB's 4 and 5 as well as PG 4.

You have clearly never seen the going rates of restored cars. Plymouths for example, are mostly dirt.

They practically built a special show around the new Side by Side set theme...

...only to set it up with an unwinnable 99xx setup?

I thoroughly enjoyed today's throwback episode. The way they decorated the set, especially the turntable, was phenomenal.

-Rotten luck on Grocery Game. Two bags of chips would've done it.
-Being as though this is Halloween, 13 was screaming "PICK ME!!!" and I'm sure the producers were counting on that.
-I was half expecting Side to be played, with the redesign and the 50s theme in mind. Too bad it was lost, though.

1. Said Bel-Air is a 1956. Popularity (and price) increases by year from 1955-1957, with 1957 models commanding the highest values.
2. Our Bel-Air today was equipped with the ultra-common 235 straight-six engine. V8 equipped models are the most desirable.
3. The car on the show has been restored to stock condition with no further modifications, which keeps the cost down.
4. Coupe models command much higher values than sedans.

So yes, while I too am a little surprised that it was less than $20k, when I take a look at all the facts it doesn't surprise me.

Doesn't this pretty much happen every time there's a "99" pair? They know damn well in any game if a choice has a 99 ending, the contestant will pick it.

I find it ironic that, despite the ugly new Side By Side display, it actually fits with the 50s theme.

That was another great Halloween show, especially with the cast dressed up exactly as they would look in the 50s. I loved seeing Drew dressed up as a chef, and Rachel pulled off her best look with the poodle skirt and saddle shoes that were popular back then.

I guess we all saw that coming with the redesigned Side by Side set; it definitely fit in with that 50s vibe.

The Showcases were actually very disappointing, as they both offered cars that were not made in the 50s: The only VW model available at the time was a Beetle (too bad they don't make those anymore), and IIRC, Hyundai did not exist until 1986. But those aside, it was still a fun show to watch, and I'll definitely watch it again online.

SN: If that '56 Bel Air is worth $19,995 now, it would've been $2,118 when it was new.

The nod to the Cullen era Price is Right was a nice touch (which I don't believe ever really happened during Bob's reign other than the opening of episode 1 when he said "Let me assure fans of the old Price is Right this is is your favorite game based on the pricing of merchandise...")

The music cues during prize descriptions were spot-on 1950's jingles.  Also a nice touch.  The set looked great and I thought a 1950's theme for a Halloween special was an original and fun idea.

Grocery Game: That was painful.  I was hoping Courtney picked 2 chips...oh well.

Half Off: That third set of SPs fooled me.  I too picked the recipe book instead of the clock as Shelby did.  Had it gone down to two boxes I had a feeling it would have been 5 OR 13.  You were inclined to say 13 since it's an unlucky number.  You were also inclined to pick 5 too.  Tough luck.  I too said 13.

Side By Side: Alma and I both picked 6099.  That was EVIL!!!!   I really miss the SORRY sign if there was a loss in this game.

Agreed. The show *looked* phenomenal. Kudos to the art department. Does anyone know--was the bottom row of the home base monitors removed for the 'diner' wall? or were they merely covered?

Those Bargain Game prizes seemed to be a little too much for daytime: designer clothes over $7k? An iMac for $5k? What an odd combination for today's top win (showcase aside).

It did happen once actually or at least once, in 1986 when a contestant playing Card Game wanted to "freeze", and Bob remarked "That sounds like the Price is Right Bill Cullen used to do when you start that freezing business".

I also really enjoyed this episode. These themed episodes are all about having fun, and it didn't detract from any of the game playing.

I wonder from what year the vintage 1950s TPiR clip came from. Thinking it must be from a very early episode, one of the earliest that's surviving in Fremantle's archives. Given the different font of the nameplates and the set appearing like it might be from a very early episode.

Incidentally, that brings to mind a question: What is the earliest known surviving episode or footage from the Cullen-era TPiR? I once heard the earliest complete episode was a daytime show from the late spring of 1957, but surely there are at least bits and pieces of episodes (i.e., incomplete episodes) that came from the very early months – i.e., end of 1956/winter 1957 – out there.

The earliest Cullen ep I've seen is a daytime show from February 21, 1957. GSN aired it and it's on the DVD set. A Barker episode from 1982 came in from a commercial with Bob talking with an audience member who asked if Bill Cullen hosted the original Price and Bob verified it. (Bill was hosting Child's Play at the time which preceded Price on CBS.)

Was that the same episode that Bill appeared on to promote it? Or was that later? I always thought Bob never acknowledged him as host on that episode, would be glad if that was wrong as always felt he shoulda.

Just got around to watching the whole episode.  A+.   They really did go all out with the set and theme.  I especially liked the 50s-style diner booth at home base.  Really well-done.

My thoughts:
- Cute special but it didn't feel like a Halloween show
- Now we know what inspired the new Side by Side set
- What the heck was the purpose of having the guy from B&B on?  He made no impression whatsoever and had nothing to do with the theme.  No one knew who he was. He was just there. I don't even think he knows why he was there.   Were both James and Devin not available?

I would imagine the same reason Melissa Ordway and Courtney Hope have been on -- they've got two Barker's Beauties on maternity leave, so they're going to have substitutes once in a while.

I do find it weird that they'd schedule a sub for the Halloween show, but not head-scratchingly weird.

The Halloween special was really good.  I liked the 50s theme.  It was an enjoyable show.

I'm going to disagree.  I really liked Matthew as a temp model.  I thought he did a better job than Courtney and I wouldn't mind seeing more of him if my favorite James or my second favorite Devin are unavailable for tapings.

Grocery Game - Dear lord, what a terrible way to lose. Could he not tell the difference between a $1.50 bag of chips from a gas station and a $4 one from the supermarket?

Side by Side - Why is everybody saying this was an unwinnable setup? It's a 900 cc engine, for God's sake... Am I literally the only one in here that would have gotten that correct?

Once again, props to the art department for the wonderful setup, but shame on Courtney for not getting that BEAUTIFUL Bel Air.

If you ask somebody, "Is the price of this item $X,X99 or $9,9XX?", 99% of people would say the one with the -99 ending. It's very deceptive.
