Coming or Going:  Too easy today.

Hole In One:  Hey Michael!  Congrats on your win, man!  Nice job on the grocery pricin' too! :-D  BTW, your TPIR Alumnus star is now on your profile. :-)

Secret X:  Ugh......

Overall:  Not too bad today.

Thanks....I was pretty clueless after the Jello price, but there was a lady sitting in front of my wife who stood up and "adamantly" guided me to the right items.....


Drew is awesome, and I think that he's going to do a great job on the show (still "learning", but doing really well).

Congrats on your Hole in One (or Two) win!!!! Mike,  You played great!!  What a GREAT show this was!  Drew had some great comments like saying after the camping equipment IUFB that the squirrels weren't included!!! hahaha!  We had new first aired games today, and an incredible energetic feeling throughout the show!  I really thought Drew was going to make his first ever "inspiration putt" as well!  It was hysterical when you said, "If that doesn't work, just take your foot and go like this!" (into the hole!) hahaha!

Notice how during Michael's putt that Drew was sort of doing "hushed sideline commentary?!"  That was great!!!

The best episode Drew has done so far! (That we have seen!)

Pretty good show today.  Here's Fieldsy's rundown

Coming or Going It was uncanny how much Melissa looked like former American Idol finalist Melissa McGhee.  She played that game beautifully

Hole in One Could that game be played any better?  And I loved Drew's hushed golf commentary.  Michael, congrats on your big win!

Bargain Bar Loved how Drew paid homage to Bob at the beginning, nice playing by Laura

Make Your Move As soon as I saw the blender placed in the 3-digit spot, I knew it was a loss  :clipboard:

Secret X All I've got to say here is OUCH!

Dice Game He went with the odds and won because of it.  Another nice playing

SCSD2 WOOHOO, the first Wheelie of the Drew era! :hammer: And the wheel's been on fire so many times you'd have to call 911 :hammer:

SCs I don't think any of us saw the Corvette coming.  It was another example of Garfing over Overbid

I give today's show  :-D :-D :-D :-D out of 5

I guess it's natural that 2 weeks after the first block of shows, there would be more pricing games into the rotation, but 4 "new" games still seemed like a lot.

Grats to Michael for having the hot hand in the first half.

Post by: Mallory16 on November 02, 2007, 03:40:07 PM
Four new pricing games today.  Coming or Going, absolutely no surprise.  Hole in One, absolutely no surprise.  Make Your Move... something.  Secret "X" is a little bit surprising, though.  I mean, considering it took multi-month mini-retirements in both the last two seasons.

Hole in One was pretty perfect today.  Not just that Michael got all the products right, but he was a lot of fun, and for that matter, Drew was great!

Anyone notice a pretty big omission Drew made with his explanation of Secret "X"?  He never said that only a horizontal or diagonal tic-tac-toe counted!  I guess if pretty Lisa (http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/lisa.txt) tried for a vertical win, they'd have had to allow it.  That one can get ugly if Drew doesn't properly explain it in the future.  As it is, I can't really blame her for completely bombing the small prize portion:  the right prices both looked too high.  Who needs the Jolly Green Giant's remote control, anyway (http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/smile4.txt)?  As it is, Lisa was a lot of fun, too.

Speaking of Secret "X"... blah.  I was hoping for a small prize car game to show up.  We need one of those around.

Always nice when the two best contestants get into the showcase.  And I'm sorry Michael, but I'm a little happy Lisa won.  I mean, you already won a car, and really, the car you already won was a nicer car than the one in the showcase anyway, right (http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/misc/smile2.txt)?

Anyone notice that Drew called the asterisk the Goodson mark?  That was cool!  I wonder how many viewers had no idea what that meant, since I bet a lot of people, especially younger ones, associate the asterisk with The Price is Right, specifically, as opposed to Mark Goodson.

... As it is, Lisa was a lot of fun, too.

Lisa is an amazing person (from what I could tell in the few, short, moments that I got to meet her anyway), so I was absolutely thrilled that she won. Considering the size of her showcase too, I thought it would be great if she would've ended up winning as well (plus, I already had a Mustang...Sheesh ;) )

Mike, congrats on Hin1(or2).  Hey did Drew's commentary hinder you in any way?  I just wonder, because Bob was always quiet with the crowd.

As for Drew's inspirational putt, you got to give him some slack.  He clearly says he don't play golf, and I think Bob did.  However, it is fun to watch him do what all other non-golfers do.

And hey, did anybody like the new car music they played? (I may as well be the first to bring it up.)  I liked it so much, I played it again twice.

Post by: actual_retail_tice on November 02, 2007, 04:32:14 PM
Wow, where'd THAT all come from? Four games returned to the show today! I certainly wasn't expecting that this week.

My guess is they shuffled this show in to give us a break from the Drew Carey 35. That also means this was a really recent taping. So it makes sense that Drew seemed particularly on his game today.

Only one thing bugged me; Drew, you're over-thanking the models. It's cool to see you doing it, since for the last 15 years Barker hardly said a word to them, but it's just getting repeptitive. Just once or twice per show would be plenty.

Me = happy to see Hole in One back. None of the rest of today's "new" games are real favorites of mine, but the presence of 6the Golf Game is just absolutely essential. I got a good laugh out of Drew's inspiration putt going completely berserk; since he doesn't golf, maybe this will signal the return of models/producers/announcer sometimes doing the demo putt?

Lisa had great reactions all day. Loved seeing her win that Corvette.

I'm kind of surprised at how easy it was to win the Corvette showcase today. Not to take anything away from lisa's win*, but as suprisingly high as the Cobalt showcase was, it was pretty likely to be overbid on. Meanwhile, not many people would've overbid on the Corvette. Isn't the show kind of overbudget?

*As a matter of fact, she's one of the few contestants I've seen who made a reasonable bid on a Corvette showcase. So many of them seem to either be afraid of going over or genuinely think a Corvette is worth around $19,000.

COMING OR GOING- waaaaayyyyy too easy.

IUFB 2- Congratulations Michael G. for taking the wad of cash from Drew's pocket.

HOLE IN ONE- Once again, Michael, congratulations for nailing those grocery products.  That putt was probably way too easy.  Drew hit that "inspiration putt" just a little too hard...

BARGAIN BAR- that was actually kinda difficult, as I (and most everyone else in chat at the time) said the Pac-Man game...but Laura got it right (that Pac-Man machine seemed way too cheap...)

SCSD 1- $1000!

MAKE YOUR MOVE- that was hard...

SECRET X- Ouch. Wipeout. That hurts.

DICE GAME- He went right with the odds and bailed out the second half of the show.

SCSD 2-$1000! And $5000 more!

SCs- Now, where did that Corvette come from?  I garfed that really badly.  I had a good bid on the Cobalt, but it was OVER by a mere $209...  :-(

OVERALL- 4/5.  Good show, $7K on wheel, Corvette win, and four "new" games.

Coming Or Going: I would say going too.

Hole In One (Or Two): Nicely done Michael on those products to earn you the $500 bonus and a new car with that easy putt.

Barker's Bargain Bar: The dining group was my pick as well.

SCSD #1: I wanted Laura to win.

Make Your Move: I would get all of them wrong. Something tells me this game was bound for a loss.

Secret X: A very bad wipeout indeed.

Dice Game: Well another Michael wins a car. Good for him.

SCSD #2: I wanted the other Michael to win. Yet a $6,000 winner plus a Wheelie  :oldlol: wasn't that bad either.

Showcases: While Lisa garfed on her showcase you Michael unfortunately went over. But hey you were a good sport by congratulating Lisa there on her showcase win not to mention reminding her that she won.

this show was fantastic...probably the best episode so far. 4 new pricing games, Drew's "Inspirational Putt" with hilarious "footing" and commentary, two $1,000 winners and even a $5,000 winner in the SCS, a large SC win, and the majority of pricing games made in the game were won! overall, this show definitely was worth watching.

5/5

Post by: Flerbert419 on November 02, 2007, 06:21:58 PM
Coming or Going: Easy as pie

Hole in One (or Two): Nice, quick putt and excellent job with the pricing.  Drew had me in stitches with the quiet voice during the putt.

Barker's Bargain Bar: i didnt fall for the pac-man trap  :lol:

SCSD #1 - It's unbelievable.

Make your move: A tough setup, seeing how there were multiple prices for the bikes that made sense.  I thought 8 K was a touch too high, but turns out i was wrong

Secret X: I had $99 for the spa sense it made more sense, but the giganto remote i had no idea about, i dont think she would have thought of a vertical win

Dice Game: Lucky rolls make this game easier.

SCSD #2 - $1000 and another 5? The odds are against this happening every time, but it continues to.  Is skill playing any factor?

Showcases: Nice to see such a big showcase and a big win with the Corvette.  Sorry Mike.

OVERALL: 4.5/5: cant get much better then this (besides the halloween show, of course  :biggrin:)

Observation: One of the crane shots they tend to use as an establishing shot at the beginning of the show zooms past a light pointing at the audience. It seems they put a Price is Right logo on the back of it.

Caught my eye, figured I'd share it.

Coming or Going - If one of the digits on the end is a 5, this game is just about a guaranteed win (especially if it's got a 9 next to it), and Melissa did not disappoint.
Hole in One - Congrats Mike! It's nice to see that Drew is going to have as much fun with this game as Bob.
Bargain Bar - Seemingly everybody in chat thought the arcade game was the bigger bargain. The Dob couldn't fool me though. :)
Make Your Move - I had 8495 for the motorcycles (forgetting the "2x ends in 5" rule), 839 for the desk thingyjig and 32 for the blender.
Secret X - That was painful to watch. I had no idea what to make the foot spa, but I had the remote control right.
Dice Game - With those rolls, that's just about as sure as you can be of winning.
Showcases - The "Brandi's Fear of the Dark" Showcase was fun; going over on it, not so much.

Nice to see some new games on the rotation that Drew has recently learned.   The rules are simple for the most part.  Now he's got - Hole in One, Make Your Move, Secret X, and Coming or Going on his resume.

The graphic change on the showcase showdown and showcase looked weird without the comma.

Mike, good job on Hole in One! 8-)

This episode and the Halloween one are probably the best two episodes they've shown so far.

Coming or Going -  An easy win here.

Hole in One - Congrats, Mike!  Great to see that Drew's going to have as much fun with this one as Bob.

Make Your Move - I knew the blenders were $49.

Secret X - Ouch.

Dice Game - Nice win here!  It would have been really painful if the 2 and the 5 had been reversed though.

Showcases - Loved Brandi's "Fear of the Dark" showcase.  Mike, the overbid...ouch.  But as you said, you already had one car!  The Corvette was a big surprise, and it was nice to see Lisa get it after the Secret X wipeout.

Nice show to end the week with-HIO was the highlight.

Coggy: Nice, easy win to start the day off.

Hole-in-One: Sweet: Definitely the highlight of the day for myself. This was beautiful to watch all the way around, Michael's pricing, Drew's banter, just be-yoo-ti-ful.

Secret X: Sheesh its been a while since we've seen a wipeout here.

Showcases: Wow, can't really say I was expecting that.

I watch the show with my brother, and everyday we bet money on the line-up of games and the order shown. We both agreed on Safe Crackers, Grand Game, etc. line-up, and made our bets on the order.

So, when Coming Or Going appeared we were stunned for a brief second. Then I literally leaped off the couch shouting, "YES! NEW GAME! YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!".

Then Hole in One or Two, put me over the top in delerium. BTW, Mike, great playing. Congrats!
Drew's commentary on the side was the best thing he's done yet.

Today's show, and Halloween's show have finally made me a believer in Drew. I admit I went into the season with predetermined hatred for the new host.  I am so very happy he proved me wrong wrong wrong. Cheers!

And hey, did anybody like the new car music they played? (I may as well be the first to bring it up.)  I liked it so much, I played it again twice.
It sounds to me like it could have been from Edd Kalehoff - a couple of the chords (as well as the percussion) sounded like him.  It also makes sense because the "new" cues used in Coming or Going and Barker's Bargain Bar were from Tony Danza's old talk show, which Edd did the music for.   The cues are available on Edd's web site (as "TonyD TWO Long" and "TonyD1 Long") here:  http://www.kalehoff.com/samples.php?pageno=3&PHPSESSID=c297dacb6f77eaa65aa0db62543412d5 (http://www.kalehoff.com/samples.php?pageno=3&PHPSESSID=c297dacb6f77eaa65aa0db62543412d5).  In addition, the music used for the items in Hole in One also sounded like him.

Finally... the first playing of Hole In One for Drew. It's a shame Drew didn't make his inaugural putt, but how about that playing by Michael? A first-line putt is very rare.

Another rarity: a Secret X wipeout. To be honest, I don't remember ever seeing one of these before.

HOTTIES: #26, Melissa (http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/5530/26melissa11207sk0.jpg); #27, Laura (http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/1385/27laura11207rs6.jpg) :-D

The whole day was incredible....What's really amazing is that my wife and I were actually scheduled at first to be on the 4:00 show, but they gave us the option of going to the 1:00 show (nice decision if you ask me ;) )

* Chuck was our page for the morning...All I can say is simply amazing...He is truly talented, and at only 24, he's going to go places.

* The people I met in line were fantastic. For those that have not gone to a taping before, and can. If you're thinking about it, do it!  Getting up there on stage, and being a part of it was amazing, but just to be in the Bob Barker studio was simply priceless.  If you love the show, at least one time in your life, go to a taping!!!


Thanks again to all of your comments...This site is great, and it's good to know that there are others out there who really follow the show like I do (even moreso)



God Bless!

Well, aren't y'all happy it's Friday?  I sure am, especially after pulling an all-nighter last Wednesday because I had a case study that was due. 

Coming or Going:  Easy pickin's...

Hole in One (or Two):  Congrats Mike!  You stopped the Dobber and won a nice car!  Oh yeah, Drew's commentary was the best thing that has ever happened for this game; way to go Drew for putting some fun into Holey!  :-D

Barker's Bargain Bar:  Wow...I figured that Pac-Man was the bigger bargain myself.  I suddenly began to remember in chat this morning that arcade games were first offered sometime in the late '80s; the first arcade game I saw on a TPiR episode was, ironically enough, Pac-Mania, the 3-D version of Pac-Man that was released by Namco in 1988. 

SCSD #1:  Wow...we've been working hard digging for dollars all season long!  Get your shovels and buckets ready!  :-D

Make your Move:  OWWIE...that was tricky! 

Secret X:  OUCH...our first wipeout of the season.  Those SP's were pretty evil!  :-(

Dice Game:  Wow!  What an amazing string of luck to get those good rolls and win!  :-D

SCSD #2:  Did I say in chat this morning that the Big Wheel is "hot"?  Well, judging by the amount of $1000 winners so far this season, it sure is hot!  As we always say in chat:  break out the shovels, we're gonna dig!   :hammer:

Showcases:  I was gonna bid the same bid ($24,750) as Mike, but I decided to shave $3000 off my original choice.  I'm sorry that you Heels'd your Showcase though Mike.  :-(  It was nice to see the Corvette won though...


OVERALL SHOW GRADE:  4.0/4.0 (A)

By far, this was Drew's best show of the young season.  Hopefully, it'll get better as time goes by!

By far....  Drew's best hosting this season.  I guess it would make sense since the show was taped just 2 weeks ago.

Very happy to see new games introduced into rotation.  I thought Drew handled the explanations well.

Noticed the reference to the "Goodson" mark during the SCSD.  Thought that was cool.

Also noticed the new font.  Not sure what I think about that.  Kinda liked the "Pricedown" numbers, personally.

We got to see "the wall" on camera today!!  (As in the graphic at the top of this website.)  I'm really liking the unusual shots that "jib" is providing.  It's kinda fun seeing more of the stage than we EVER saw during the Bob years!

CoG: Simple: 95 was screaming GOING!

Hole:  Nice to see you, Mike nailing the $500 Bonus and making the simplest putt ever.

MYM: I had a feeling the blender was $49.

Secret X: I figured the remote was $25, and we have the 1st wipeout since 2/6/06.

SC1 :gotc:  Covers the car only.

SC2; Darn Mike you went over, but you still had a great time.

By far the best show in the Drew era.

I'm enjoying Drew more and more every day.  I think I can say truthfully that I've fully accepted him as the new host.

I knew that the sixth week of tapings had introduced Make Your Move, Coming or Going, and Hole in One, but I didn't know the fourth game and had kind of assumed it was Bonkers.  I was pleasantly surprised to see Secret "X".

The new cues on this show did absolutely nothing for me.  They're not even memorable like the '03 package -- I couldn't tell you how a single one went.

Drew did a pretty good job coming up with his own style for Hole in One.  That aside, it was nice just to see a grocery item/car game after all this time.

I see they've changed the money win graphics again.  These new ones look a little better than the Pricedown graphics from the first six weeks.

Make Your Move was probably harder today than it's been in several years.

Drew called the asterisk on the Big Wheel carpet "the Goodson mark."  More proof that he's done his homework.

Hey, Mike!  Wuzzat you on the show today?  Good job, man!

Quote from: Joe_Mello
I guess it's natural that 2 weeks after the first block of shows, there would be more pricing games into the rotation, but 4 "new" games still seemed like a lot.

That's because this is the December 14 episode.  The "new" games really don't appear until the seventh week.

Quote from: cu2010
COMING OR GOING- waaaaayyyyy too easy.

Dude, it's Coming or Going.  It's always easy.

I'm really disappointed that there was a desire to add yet another new package of cues.

EDIT: I should have read that the new cues were from Edd...

CoG: Very nice win.

Hole: Too bad about Drew's inspiration putt. Michael, I have to say Congratulations on such marvelous playing and I hope you'll enjoy your Mustang Convertible. Very well played.

BBB: Another nice win.

MYM: That was tricky. Heck, I didn't expect the motorcycles to be around $8K. :oops:

Secret: Luck just wasn't on her side.

Dice: Very nice win.

Showcases: Loved Brandi in the "Fear of the Dark" showcase. That Corvette really was a surprise and it made up for RU's bad luck today.

A 4-star show.

Happy Weekends!!!

They didn't get much on camera during the closing, even on innertube.  I don't there was a ceiling to audience shot and even on the extended innertube, rich didn't get in there either.  Must have been a rushed closing.

One thing I noticed during the intro was that the "virtual lightbox" in the intro didn't seem to reach the edges of the screen today.  I'm not sure if this is something that I just haven't noticed previously or if it's a glitch.

Damn, 4 new games! Awesome! Slowly but surely, we'll get a full rotation!

It's funny, cuz I just finished watching it, and there are a bunch of little things that I've noticed about today's show, that I wanted to mention, and they were already mentionned in other posts! ;) Oh well, still, here they are!

- The TPIR logos on the spotlights we saw during the opening. I think it's a nice touch.
- The Goodson Mark? I like it! Like it a lot!
- The new graphics for the SCSD is also used for the total winnings at the end of the show. Personally, I liked the one we saw since the beginning of the season more than this one. It just feels awkward to me.
- Am I the only one who hasn't heard the cue for the GP description in Hin1 before? It sounded weird ...
- Even on Innertube, we didn't get to see Rich today at the end of the show! But I loved how they allowed her to sit in her car and celebrate!
- I dunno about those of you who watched it on Innertube, but mine played without commercials at all. One part finished, a 2 second pause, and the other one started! If only it could be like that more often! ;)

Another great show. Hope to see more new games soon.

See y'all next week, it's my pager week at work, so no office during the day! I'll be in chat for some CSS!! :)

Post by: gamefro on November 03, 2007, 12:29:55 AM
I really enjoyed today's episode.  Comments:

CoG - Easy setup as usual.

Hole - Too bad about the first "Inspiration Putt" for Drew.  That's OK, Michael didn't need it!  I had the first three items right, but then it was a crapshoot from there.  When was the last time someone made it to the front line in this game?

Bob's Bar - This was a toughie, but I went with the dinette.

MYM - I thought the setup was pretty easy.  I called the motorcycle price right away, and then figured 49 was a more attractive price for the blender than 32.

Secret X - I'm still trying to figure out what she was thinking... Even if you have no clue on a price, going with one that ends in 0, 5, or 9 is generally good strategy that would've paid off here.

Dice - Some very excellent rolls today, and the odds did not fail.  I was worried on that third number though.

SCSD's - I also noticed and appreciated the "Goodson mark" reference.  Did anybody else notice Drew mentioned twice about the wheel being the original since 1975?  I think Drew is taking a little more ownership on knowing some of the history of the show, which is great on his part.

Showcases - Michael's bid was right around what I thought ($24,500).  I was even lower than Lisa on her bid...trips in a showcase always mess me up.  I'm glad she won, as she seemed like a very excitable contestant.


Drew seemed to do pretty well today.  I especially like that today he was varying some of his standard lines at the throw to commercial and Come on Downs, and also for the ticket plug.  He also had some good reveals, and I liked how he stretched the reveal a little longer during Dice Game.

I don't like the new SCSD win graphic font.  Having the Pricedown dollar without the Pricedown numbers just seems weird.  Does anybody else think it's odd that Drew talks about the $10,000 bonus before the $5,000 bonus during SCSD bonus spins?  I wish he'd reverse that, as I think it's more exciting to present it the other way around.

A great show overall.  I'm liking Drew more and more with each episode, and I liked him in the beginning!


One thing I noticed during the intro was that the "virtual lightbox" in the intro didn't seem to reach the edges of the screen today.  I'm not sure if this is something that I just haven't noticed previously or if it's a glitch.

I've noticed this several times in the past few weeks while watching Full-screen mode on Innertube.

- I dunno about those of you who watched it on Innertube, but mine played without commercials at all. One part finished, a 2 second pause, and the other one started! If only it could be like that more often! ;)

I wish mine played like that...although I think it may have skipped the first commercial which normally plays after PG#3.

I tried to watch on Innertube today and it seemed a bit glitchy for me.  I got 2 commercials, then the first SCSD (I had to skip back to get to the start.)

Post by: junkaholic95 on November 03, 2007, 12:39:59 AM
All Innertube episodes have the edges showing on the lightbox.  Why?  I don't know, but I think someone ought to fix that.  It's not a big problem, but it is a minor annoyance to see movement around the edges like that.  My 2 questions to the folks at the show are why couldn't they still use the real lightbox?  and if not, why can't they just "zoom in" a little more on the fake one?

Anyway...

Coming or Going:  Too easy as usual
Hole in One or Two:  Loved it!  Drew's inspiration (and that's a bit of a stretch) putt actually almost went in.  Just a little hard.  Although, I think his technique might classify as cheating on most golf courses.  Also, Drew's golf voice was amusing.  To top it all off, perfect pricing and a perfect line 6 putt complete with a $500 bonus.  Dude, you rock!
Barker's Bargain Bar:  I had no idea on this one.  Very low differences too.
Make Your Move:  I was clueless on this one, but I had a feeling the 2 smaller ones should have been switched once they were put into place.
Secret X:  I would have had both X's.  Bad luck on this one.
Dice Game:  No evil rolls today so that's good

I liked Drew's "Goodson Mark" reference.  Nice one, Drew!
Am I the only one who thinks MYM clashes with the new turntable?
New graphics, not really an improvement if you ask me.
I missed the showcases so shame on me.

I'm enjoying Drew more and more every day.  I think I can say truthfully that I've fully accepted him as the new host.

I'm with Gavazzi on this.  More and more every day, I think that Drew is really making the show his own.

Commentary:

CoG: Nice way to start the show with an easy win.

Hole in One: Mike, I loved the expression on your face when you saw the Mustang.  And I loved the hushed commentary during the putt.

Barker's Bargain Bar: Anyone notice that Laura's shirt had both Bob and Drew's pictures on it?  A nice tribute, and fitting irony.

SCSD #1: Not a fan of the new $1000 graphic.

Make Your Move: Was it me, or was there a speed-up when Deborah changed her prices the second time?

Secret X: Major, major bummer.

Dice Game: I think Drew assisted Michael by telling him he was "going against the odds" during some of the game.  But I did like his dancing to the PIR theme when he threw to commercial.  :)

SCSD #2: Lisa deserved the wins after what happened to her in Secret X.

Showcase #1: Brandi is quickly establishing herself as the show's lead actress!  From vampire to corpse bride, she can do it all!

Showcase #2: Walking on a treadmill in high heels?!?!  I'm glad Rachel didn't fall!

Nice to see Lisa win all of those prizes today.  Bummer for Mike, though, with the small overbid--but you still won a car in Hole in One! 

Overall, great show--and nice to see the best contestants of the day get through to the showcase round!

5 stars out of 5

P.S.  For some reason Innertube plays the very start and end of the show very slowly.  The audio is slow and broken up at first, but then progresses to normal speed after a minute or two.  Anyone else notice this?

I see they've changed the money win graphics again.  These new ones look a little better than the Pricedown graphics from the first six weeks.
We need to remember that this was one of the first shows taped. So, the Pricedown money win graphics are what's being used now. You're likely going to see a lot of bouncing around in the graphics department until they get on a more logical taping schedule.

Well, this show was taped only a little over two weeks ago and Drew is more comfortable in front of the camera.

Wow, we see four games make their first apperances in Drew's era so that's a good thing today.

I personally am not warming up to the new music cues, I just don't get a feel for them the way I did with the previous music package.

Wow, Hole in One was played and Drew did his first inspirational putt!  Congratulations Mike for winning that convertible and it's great that you won $2,000 in the show also through special bonuses.  I also liked how Drew did the commentary just like if this was a professional golf game.

I should also note that when the Mustang was revealed and cut back to Mike, the entire slate was spoiled.

I personally do not like the new money win graphics for the SCSD, this makes me appreciate the Pricedown version.

Kudos for the staff for leaving the Make Your Move prize music intact, as that is one of the best cues on the show, IMO.  That setup was difficult, especially for the price of the desk.

Wow, I was not expecting Secret X to show up and it stinks that there was a wipeout in that playing.  I think that the Kingpin font is a nice change of pace for the show.  It probably will find its way to the Pathfinder SP podiums.

That Dodge Avenger was sure loaded in Dice Game, I have to say.

Yay, they used Showcase '83 for a car cue, and wow a Corvette, albeit with a vamp verison of Passing Lane...

Boo urns on the new prize cues!

Yay!  Half-Off cue for the bedroom group! :P

Speaking of Secret X, we've got the font update.  Nice to know that Roger has a new font to obsess over besides Dom Casual. :-D

We've got a Dodge Avenger and a new Yamaha motorcycle.  CSS, take note!

Mike, enjoy that new Mustang!  You couldn't have played Holey any more perfectly.  Chevy Cobalts are cheapos, so I regret to say that I knew immediately that you would be over.  I did not, however, expect you to be over by so little.  I barely expected your showcase to crack $20,000.

My showcase bids:
Cobalt--$20,030
Corvette--$55,555

It sounds to me like it could have been from Edd Kalehoff - a couple of the chords (as well as the percussion) sounded like him.  It also makes sense because the "new" cues used in Coming or Going and Barker's Bargain Bar were from Tony Danza's old talk show, which Edd did the music for.   The cues are available on Edd's web site (as "TonyD TWO Long" and "TonyD1 Long") here:  http://www.kalehoff.com/samples.php?pageno=3&PHPSESSID=c297dacb6f77eaa65aa0db62543412d5 (http://www.kalehoff.com/samples.php?pageno=3&PHPSESSID=c297dacb6f77eaa65aa0db62543412d5).  In addition, the music used for the items in Hole in One also sounded like him.

I hope I wasn't confusing, but I was referring to the music that was played when they revealed the convertible.  Was it by this guy, because those two songs sound nothing like that music.  I just have to say, it's the first "new car" plug that can beat out "MGHSH".

Actually, Dave, this is one of the most recent tapings.  Drew had already debuted on the air when it was recorded.

You know, I got a kick out of this for some reason.  I don't even have a TiVo.  Funny how those things have just become so accepted that references to them don't even feel forced.

That Mustang cue was the only new one that made any kind of impression on me. It has kind of a glitzy 1980's sound to it, which is interesting, but it doesn't have any kind of identifiable melody to it that makes a good TPiR prize cue. Even the unpopular old Concentration car cue (aka "the cheap car music"), which doesn't sound like much more than a rhythm bed actually has a four-note tune that repeats over and over that you could whistle if it got caught in your head. I hope that if we hear more new cues debuting over the coming weeks they don't all have the tendency to fade into the background.

PG #1-Woohoo, Coming or Going is back!  That was an easy win and a great way to start the day.

PG #2-Yay, it's Drew's first Hole in One (airwise, anyway)!  That was very cool that Drew did an inspiration putt; keeping the tradition alive!  He nearly made it, too, but the ball bounced out of the cup.  Michael, however, had no problem and chips it in.  Congratulations, Michael!

PG #3-Another nice tribute to Bob.  I thought the arcade game was going to be the better bargain.

SCSD #1-Whoa, it's another new graphic!  It looks so different without the comma in there.

PG #4-Yay, Make Your Move with its correct cue, too! :-D  The motorcycles were easy to place, but the other two could have gone either way.  Tough loss.

PG #5-Woohoo, Secret "X"!  Hey, and the font is changed as well for the SPs.  OUCH, a wipeout.

PG #6-The odds were with Michael today, and he won nicely.

SCSD #2-A wheelie! :-D  Was there an edit during Michael's 1st spin?  It seemed like the wheel and the beeps were off.  Meh, maybe it's just my imagination.  Woot, a $6,000 winner!  This wheel has been extra hot this season compared to last season.

Showcases-Whoa, a Corvette!  I guess the show still isn't underbudget yet.  And the Corvette is won!

4 more games added today, and Drew nailed everynone of them!  I wish he would've revealed where the hidden X was, though.  Drew's hosting abilities today were the best I've seen yet!  I was laughing all after Drew kicked the ball in the hole with his foot in Hole in One.

They left the Mark Goodson name on the show for so many years when most companies want their own name on their products as soon as possible; I can't imagine, then, that they'd object to an acknowledgement that most people wouldn't even notice. Especially since there's almost never a reason to mention the asterisks at all.

Someone I can't find to quote said Make Your Move clashes with the new walls. It doesn't look as good there as Clock Game or Cover Up, but neither is it anywhere near as bad as Coming or Going!

Coming or Going: Let's see if I can remember.... if it ends in 95....

Hole in One... or Two: It's been a while since I seen someone go all the way. All that matters is Michael's putt... and Drew's "First".

Barker's Bargain Bar: Once again, I just know what to pick, even if my reasoning is wrong. I just thought the arcade game would be around $4000.

Make Your Move: I just wasn't so sure about a blender costing $32...

Secret X: Uh.... At least I knew the remote control would be $25.

Dice Game: Those [2]s and [5] are some of the time the tough ones...

There are some times where I just want to say, "Is the Wheel fixed or someting?" What I really say is "That Wheel is still hot!"

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had this episode on video? I'm a friend of Michael Runkle and would love to see it and show him the video.
