The TALK Is Right / Is Temptation retired?
« Last post by Blissey on Today at 11:25:39 AM »
Does anyone know if Temptation is retired?

You see, the YouTube channel for The Barker Era posted a clip from Episode 5074 (1983), with the description referring to Temptation being a "now-retired game."

Out In Left Field / Re: 2024 NHL Playoffs
« Last post by mellongraig on Yesterday at 11:04:24 PM »
The first team to move on to the second round is the New York Rangers, in which they defeat the Washington Capitals 4-2 and sweep the series, 4-0, the only sweep of the first round this playoff season.

Earlier, the Vancouver Canucks pulled off a big comeback as they erased a 2 goal deficit within the last 3 minutes and winning Game 4 in overtime, 4-3 over the Nashville Predators to take a 3-1 series lead. The Winnipeg Jets are on the ropes after losing 5-1 to the Colorado Avalanche and trail the series 3-1.

If the first round ends early for all of the series, the second round could start earlier than usual (or at least in part should certain series wrap up this early).

Detroit also broke the attendance record in the 2024 NFL Draft with over 775,000 fans during the three days. That is just remarkable.

Quote from: TPIRighteous on Yesterday at 11:29:11 AM
I was watching every day in the fall while I was on paternity leave, but admittedly I haven't seen much since then. I watched this episode and a couple others in the last week, and I have to say it feels like this show is in a new golden age.

Drew has reached a new level as a host. The main cast has longevity we haven't seen in decades. They have good rapport (I've enjoyed Drew's banter with James as of late). Contestant casting has improved drastically. Prizes have gotten less outlandish. There's more space for interacting with contestants.

This might not be the exact same show that it was when I was growing up. It's certainly not perfect. But it's the fun, positive, exciting, funny, happy show that I remember. It brings me joy in a way that it hasn't in a long time.

At the conclusion of S52 I'd planned to write a post in the main forum echoing exactly this. I've been enthusiastic about S52 all over this forum and I can't add anything to this. I've been tuning in more frequently (and even made my first trek to the show) because there's a magic in the air there hasn't been in a very long time. And I assure you that magic is there just as much in person as it is at home. I lay a lot of the credit at Evelyn Warfel and her production of the show. She navigated COVID and a required move while also shifting the show to seek more grounded contestants that are a cross-section of America (rather than the viral wanna-bes Stan/Mike seemed to want to find at the end of their tenures). I also have to give a lot of credit to Drew as having an audience back seemed to do something to kick him into a high gear he didn't know he had. Not only is he more relaxed and having more fun but he also seemed more positive and upbeat in general.

And when the show I attended airs (a week from Monday), I'll also be ruminating on George as announcer and how he was really star of the show when we were there in person. He's also got an infectious warm positivity that seems to remind me of what people said about Johnny in person back in the day. I wrote something along the lines of he treated that audience like they were guests in his personal living room...and he sure made that whole day feel like it. That translates on camera I think.

Just tune into the Pluto Drew eps to make a comparison. I know its a bit apples to oranges given Drew was only with the show 3 years when those were taped and aired (I admit it wouldn't be fair to compare Barker in S3 and S17). But something was still vey different. Drew and Rich were more disconnected from the goings on. The contestants were so much more over the top. Gameplay seemed to be secondary to the commotion on screen. It really is night and day.
