You know they say that all pricing games are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Vend-o-Price and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another pricing game, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Lucky Seven to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Price is Right you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Lucky Seven KNOWS it can't beat me and it's not even gonna try!
So Vend-o-Price, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Price is Right, But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Price is Right. See Vend-o, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Price is Right.

Do any of you have a favourite "Halloween" edition of TPiR? I know that gimmicky/themed episodes are kind of a staple of the Drew era, but I'm also curious as to whether or not they were (at least) attempted a few times when Bob Barker presented.

Not easy to pick one since they've all been very decent.  If I had to pick one, I'd go with Season 50.  That's somewhat due to recently bias as well as my love & admiration of the show since Day 1.  Felt a little more like a throwback episode than a Halloween special IMO, but I think it was worth it

The 1950s one by far.   The costumes, the music, the prop transformations including set transformations ; imo by far the best.  Today by far the worst.

I didn't like this show very much. I've become more and more willing to let goofy things slide on the specials over the years as the quality of the "average everyday" show goes way up, but today was just way off too much into the silliness. I think, at some points, TPIR lost sight of its audience today. Drew said some genuinely hilarious things offscript, but I just don't tune in to the show to watch him completely screaming for a full hour straight. I don't think anyone does. I'm sure that annoyed more than just me. Also, having wrestling-ish skits that are tied into prizes is one thing, but coming back from commercial to a completely random one just felt like Season 37. No one really tunes into Price for cartoon violence. There's theming and then there's doing slapstick for the sake of doing slapstick, and I feel like there was a bit too much of the latter today.

All the effects they were able to pull off in the new studio looked amazing though. Finally got to see some of the positive side of that :) And some of the theming ideas were clever, although Balance Game jokes are getting a little tired. The setups were fine, but I do wonder if people's brains were so scrambled from being in that atmosphere for so long by the end it was starting to affect the gameplay.

Clearly you don't understand how wrestling works.  :lol:

Maybe it's because I am a wrestling fan, but I absolutely loved this show. Everyone played their role so well- Drew as the heel champion main eventer, the models as the eccentric midcard talent, George as...well, Vince McMahon. Yes, Drew broke kayfabe a few times, particularly at the end of games, but for the most part, his impression of over-the-top wrestling theatrics was spot on. I even enjoyed him kicking the Cover Up prop...if only they had a prop he could have suplexed!

Clearly somebody on the staff is a wrestling fan...

I like that George's intro for Manuela and Amber referenced " killing flies " for when Manuela killed that Fly during Bargain Game recently.
My only gripe was the Wrestlemania tickets offered in the showcase were only for one day , FYI , Mania is a 2-day show.

The Prize League is my favorite, but the season 37 Halloween episode was really good also and season 38 where Drew, Rich, and the models dressed like items from pricing games and the Big Wheel.

Having worked in wrestling for 7 years, it's anything but. There's a huge amount of trust between performers, athleticism, and drive. Most of the folks I've worked with are wonderful people.

Just two wins today and no car wins. This was certainly an interesting Halloween show today. No matter how many punches I have, I'm always quitting if I have $2,500.

I’m nowhere near being a wrestling fan, but I know enough that I knew to expect George to be in a spiffy coat and bow tie.

As for Drew, I have to wonder if he ended up with laryngitis after yelling for most of the show.  I know some of you found it annoying, and I even found it grating at times, but I certainly don’t envy him!  I also wonder how warm/hot and heavy his muscle costume was (I’ve never worn one of those myself)

Punch-A-Bunch: Anyone else notice that the font on the $2,500 slip was smaller than usual, AND had a comma?  Last time I recall seeing a different font, not to mention commas on the 4-digit prizes, was when they were still using white slips in the early 80s before switching to yellow.

Vend-O-Price: Loved how they used the British spelling for yogurt (yoghurt), and the Halloween/Fall-themed groceries (pumpkin yogurt, kale snacks that claimed “natural vampire killer” on the label, and the always polarizing candy corn).  Also the first of two “Drew Dollar” games, along with Balance Game.

Balance Game: I seem to recall them doing that same trick with the prize bag on an April Fool’s episode, tying it down from beneath with strings or an elastic band; I caught a glimpse of them here as James was attempting to lift the bag.

Not a bad Halloween show, but not my fav.  I think my fav was the one where the costumes were pricing game themed (Drew as the mountain climber, one of the models as a Pl!nko chip, etc).

I thought this show was hilarious.  Everything about it was ridiculous, and that's fine, because it was supposed to be ridiculous.  Drew had to walk a pretty fine line between staying in character and actually hosting the show, and I think he struck a marvelous balance.  (I do wonder whether they really planned for him to move Cover Up, though.)

Also, George's coat looked like it was borrowed from Rod.  Any day that happens is a good day in my book.

I felt that they were going for an 80s Hulk Hogan vibe. I agree with "champion" and "main eventer", but not "heel."

They could have added a little more facial hair to James and made him look more like Ox Baker.

I tried to shorten it but when you do something with this many references and history it is going to be long (currently each person has one sentence). this episode was an interesting idea though done in a very isolating way (feels like it was leftovers for something else).basically it limits it to wrestling history people (even if casual wrestling history people that just looked at strangest moments like me) and not really even people who currently watch wrestling or began somewhat recently. I enjoyed it, I understand the references but I would not have two years ago before I started watching wrestling and still did not get them all. there was no undertaker reference sadly because that would have fit Holloween as well.

I also would have liked some more current jokes (post 2000s) particularly with the female wrestlers/models (which is sadly harder to run across by coincidence since they were separate cancelled shows. I only know based on a 'modern' tell the truth episode) instead of leaning so heavily in the 1980s glam rock. I did enjoy really well including the Hulk Hogan impression and that one is at least more mainstream. The announcer trying to be McMahon's, it would have worked better if he just was the standard generic 'this corner' wrestler announcer the whole time and that is all I am going to go with.

I will admit I was shocked that they did the microphone breaking in half thing coming back from break after the wheel in a good way. 30 minutes in (including commercial) There is a segment in which they are fake wrestling that begins in the middle. I feel like I missed something. I could tell it was a tag team match but still if anyone actually was at the taping since occasionally some of us are was it that weird in the studio. I would say the detailing and cleaning the stars were beautiful but it probably would have made more sense to use price is right green. weirdly enough I loved it even with everything above and ununderstandability but when you do a TV show you have to do it to the most common denominator and this was not done to the most common denominator.
