Price is Right Recaps! / Re: TPiR Recap - 3/13/2024

This is absurd... you can also claim the car then sell it.
True, although that assumes I can afford to even take possession of the car. How much taxes would I have to pay just to afford to be able to take possession of it? I'm not interested in burning a good chunk of my money on something I don't need right now (I don't even drive so would I even be allowed to take possession of it?). Not to mention, I think you have to pay taxes on the money alone.

I'll give it a try, though it's not easy to narrow it down from so many active games. I'd go further and redo the special spaces as well.

Was hoping they'd have the mystery building next door finished in time for S53. Hopefully Price can benefit from a summer tourism boom.

The poor crew, though. Only a month break in between seasons.

In total households ratings-wise, The Talk is tied for last with NBC News Daily, so The Talk is definitely vulnerable.

This was a great show indeed. I knew the Kia Forte was $23,xxx, but would have considered bailing anyway because then I have to pay a lot of taxes on something I may not need at the moment. This may not technically have been a perfect show, but in my book, it was in that everybody who got up on stage won something big.

I guess another contract of note: Technically the SAG-AFTRA Network Code hasn't been renewed? That's why Price was able to tape when all the scripted shows couldn't. If that isn't renewed, Price won't be able to tape in July.

The TALK Is Right / TPIR Monopoly Board
« Last post by Eddie on March 19, 2024, 07:46:17 PM »
With 70-80 games to work with, I'm going to try something unique.  If You could make a custom Monopoly board with pricing games as the spaces, as hasbro seems to create countless special editions, I'm going to make a sample list with the original street and the game I'd change it to.

Mediterrian Ave: Double Prices
Baltic Avenue: One Right Price

Railroad

Centeinnial Avenue: Squeeze Play
Vermont Avenue: Danger Price
Connecticut Avenue: Shopping Spree

Prison

St. Charles Place: Any Number
States Avneue: Gridlock
Virginia Avenue: Cover Up

Railroad

St. James Avenue: Spelling Bee
Tennessee Avenue: Hole in One
New York Avenue: Stack the Deck

Free Parking

Kentucy Avenue: Punch-a-Bunch
Indiana Avenue: Grand Game
Illinois Avenue: Half-Off

Railroad

Atlantic Avenue: Hot Seat
Ventinor Avenue: Plinko
Marvin Avnue: Pay the Rent

Go to Jail

Pacific Avenue: Ten Chances
North Carolina Avenue: Rat Race
Pennsylvania Avenue: More or Less

Railroad

Triple Play: Park Place
Boardwalk: Golden Road

Go! And around we go.

The TALK Is Right / Potential IATSE Strike 2024 Discussion Thread

The last one of these threads was posted in this section, so for consistency sake I'll make a post here.

Negotiation talks have begun, and the current contract expires on July 31st. Last time, a deal was struck on the very last day.

Last thread started with some confusion on what it means for Price, but if the strike happens, Price practically can't tape. My bigger concern is OCA is reporting 20 taping days across May and June, meaning a potential 60 episodes in the can even before July. Most notably, our most recent schedules indicated that this season should have wrapped in April. This is probably strike insurance for Season 53, but I don't recall production ramping up this quickly three years ago.

CSS -- Chatroom Showcase Showoff / CSS Results for 03/19/2024 (Game 114)

The producers definitely wanted a DOB out of this, and most of you fell for it one way or another, including the Dinko doubler in Tris. Two of the six survivors did see yellow though, with 9821's cash the only blemish on Randy's QSW.

Double values tomorrow!

Out In Left Field / Re: New CBS soap opera in "accelerated development"

I'd imagine Let's Make A Deal would be sacked first. After all, the last time a soap featuring a predominantly African-American cast was the one that replaced $ale of the Century. That was Generations, which didn't even last for two years. Then again, with NBC opening up its former slot of Days of our Lives to another talk show, there's definitely a bit of an oversaturation of them. Still, this would be the first new network soap to premiere in 25 years since Passions replaced Another World.

What NBC did in 1989 is completely irrelevant.

Lets Make a Deal fills a good flex role for CBS. Soaps at 10 am don't work in the east = dead show walking. And CBS isn't getting 3 pm back from the groups that air Deal in the morning. It doesn't matter that they'd be swapping an hour; 3 pm is too valuable.  I have a better chance of winning the Mr. Universe contest. The other option of moving The Talk to the flex option and putting the Gates at 2 is similarly not viable.

If this show makes it to air, the most plausible option is in place of The Talk.
