Correct me if I'm wrong, but for just the second time in the show's 48-year history, the season premiere ends with a :dsw: (with the first being the one from Season 35). Vickyann, who accomplished the feat 13 years ago, has some company now... :-D
There's not a whole lot that bothers me about TPIR... but I really hate the whole "huge bonus prize for first pricing game win" thing and in particular the way the Tesla was given away today and how it was followed up by a miserable Lucky Seven set up and playing.
It would have been so much more enjoyable to see that car being played for in its own pricing game - even with a generous set up to give it a good chance of being win - not tacked on as a bonus to what was the easiest set up of the dullest game that we'll see all season.
I get why the show is doing this - it allows them to boast on their promos that they are giving away these big prizes without the risk that the big prizes won't be won - but part of the thrill of game shows is seeing contestants face some sort of challenge and win, whether through skill or luck. As it was, the Tesla did absolutely nothing for me.
This show was awful. I get that the gimmicks drive ratings. But we do not need to give away random $42,000 Teslas willy-nilly while still making the regular car games hard (201xx? come on now) on the season premiere. We could just make the actual car games easier and focus on the contestants. Why is that not enough now?
When we're out of money again in May, I'm pointing to this episode. Although the DSW was a very nice bid-shave!
Are the showcase podium prize/price screens different? I don't remember them being that "bright" of a blue, nor do I remember the dollar signs in the background not being in a pattern.

I just noticed that the total money graphic on the video they posted on YouTube is the old one, not the new one that they showed today, which is bizarre.
The photos at CBS Press Express identify today's show as #8824K:

According to the calendar on the TPiR webpage, 8824 was supposed to air on Thursday:
http://www.priceisright.com/calendar/
I doubt the audience in general was informed about the switch. I would imagine that CBS e-mailed the contestants to let them know about the switch, but I don't know for sure.
They only post for specials. 8525 was last season
Wow, what an exciting season opening we had with that awesome Double Prices playing for a trip (said no one ever).
It's also pretty difficult to plan for a lineup when you have to allow for the possibility that you are going to need another door the entire show to hide it.
I'm not sure if this question should go in here or in a new thread, but what would happen to the bonus prize if a show is skunked (AKA if no pricing games are won)?The producers will likely set-up at least one forced win at some point during the episode to essentially guarantee it is given away then if someone else doesn’t get lucky and win their pricing game. In this episode it was Double Prices and Bullseye. Bullseye is almost never lost anymore. On the second aired episode it was Push Over that was setup as essentially a forced win.

Could not have said it better. Very disappointing way to kick off a new season.
