Some season-encompassing as well as regular comments from the S39 show with the best record (no straight L's)...

-Bee had a bad year at 1-5, even with no bailouts it would have been 2-4. It's a mix of tough SPs, bad luck and a couple of dumb guesses ($43 on the donut maker wasn't too good today).
-She started off Grocery poorly, but it actually worked out for once.
-At this point, when the 4th game is hard, a skunking is probably being set up (unless it's Moley). Otherwise, it's pretty easy, even on a crapshoot they set up the middle tendency.
-It was weird how she had 19499 at one point, there was either editing going on or the nuts were as confused as her thought process.
-I'm a little surprised Safey was won with -50, certainly no one in studio did the math for the obvious. It was the minimum $90 difference on just some accessories...
-I haven't seen 25k / double dollar missed by so little in a really long time.
-The Nickelodeon hotel for Disney World? Not everyone has kids... hope that's the last time we see that one.
-That DOB wasn't forced, and the car wasn't even set up to be lost... just weird. Certainly more DOBs this year than we should have had, perhaps it will decrease along with DSWs (the two have at least some correlation for sure).
-Thank god this is the last of Steve White. Hearing the audience excitement cut out on Bee's reveal so he could redo that copy was a bad reminder of him, and there's really no excuse to "finally finally". He was there for at least 3 of the top 10 shows this year (both 5/6 and 3X), but... good bye, sir.

And thanks to Obama, we end the season on a W5. Now for another 1/6 on the S40 premiere?

Too bad Trent had bad luck on the small prizes in Spelling Bee.  We could've had our 1st perfect show this season on the last day of it.  Has there ever been a season without any perfect shows?  What's the most that's happened in a season before?  Despite the good pricing game and big wheel outcomes, the show had a dissapointing end with a double overbid.  Hopefully next season we'll have at least a few perfect shows and fewer winless shows.

I believe either Season 37 or Season 38 had no perfect shows, with the other having only one perfect show.

Both had one perfect show. S37 is hard to remember as it came in a DOB lineup (and maybe with DOB setups).

I skimmed this on the DVR, and if it wasn't for Steve White and HIM SCREAMING INTO THE THE MIC TELLING EVERYONE THE SHOW IS ON AND TO COME ON DOWN AND OUR HOST IS DREW CAREY, this probably would have been rescheduled for much sooner in the summer, possibly extending the season a day.  Good show all around, good selection of games, and hey, five wins and a DOB is a great day any day of the week.

A nice show with 5 for 6 wins too bad spelling bee couldn't be won other wise we'd have a perfect show. I didn't watch the showcase part because i had to go out to eat for lunch and what a shock that it was a double overbid! There's always season 40 for a perfect show.

Too bad about the DOB, but a 5 for 6 day with a bailout isn't bad at all.

One thing about Steve White...he really makes me appreciate George Gray.

Twice during today's program I wished the trip skins would come back.

Once during today's program I wished they would stop doing two-beauty days.

And yet, several times during today's program I wish they would do a lot more shows like these. Minus Steve and Drew, of course.  :P

lol I was gonna mention that but you beat me to it.

You know I have to say, I kind of like the extra summer shows, be them leftovers from earlier or otherwise, it breaks up the monotony of the summer reruns. I wouldn't mind having them be a regular thing in future seasons.

Wow, this was a surprisingly good episode!  Decent contestants, lots of wins, and Drew wasn't even all that bad.  If he could host like this every day...well, it still wouldn't be great, but at least it'd be tolerable.

I think Trent came out of Spelling Bee pretty well.  He won $3,000 and passed up on a chance that wouldn't have worked to win a car that he didn't need!

Pick-a-Number was totally supposed to be lost with a pick of 6.

I thought for a minute that Janina was going to completely bungle Line em Up.  It almost looked like she was going to change two numbers on her second turn.

Incidentally, what an odd coincidence that both of the pre-empted shows had Line em Up.

...Oh, and Steve White still sucks donkey balls.

Well, as others have mentioned, what a nice hidden gem this was! A correct bailout followed by five straight wins, wow. If I were them, even with Steve White announcing, I find a way to air this show much earlier than on a 6 month delay.

There was a LOT going on in Line 'em Up that we didn't see. If you rewatch the 2nd try, you'll notice it cuts to a shot of her having 19k as the price and then 3 seconds later back to 18k. Clearly there was some confusion going on there. Grocery was also noticeably cut way down. This was a bit of an aggressive lineup, but contestants taking too long is still a problem. It also was about the only problem today - somehow DOBs matter less on shows like these.

The second showcase showdown was the most painfully close I've seen the wheel get to a dollar without actually getting there in awhile.

Timings:
Spelling Bee (6) - 4:12
One Right Price (3.5) - 3:02
Grocery Game (5) - 4:44
Pick A Number (3.5) - 2:55
Line 'em Up (5.5) - 5:21
Safe Crackers (4.5) - 3:30
Total (28): 23:44

A very good episode today, but why delay it for six and a half months?

Once again, Steve White is annoying and obviously dubbed in at times. To be fair, his comment on "the new and improved Drew Carey" at least made some logistical sense -- after all, Drew did slim down noticeably. (Certainly better than "hip-hop sensation Drew Carey"...)

I do not think you would get any argument from either. You most certainly will not get any disagreement from me.

Oddly enough, looking at the repeat schedule shows two Davis, two Lawrence, one Sherwood, four White (not counting this show), a whole bunch of Gray...and absolutely no Roberto. Really, CBS? There were absolutely no worthwhile-to-repeat shows with J.D.?

(At least they're better than Wheel of Fortune, who insists on dubbing over their other tryouts this Summer with Jim Thornton.)

Post by: Wayoshi on September 01, 2011, 12:20:01 AM

I think the issue was figuring out a time to put in Steve White after establishing George Gray as the new announcer. Perhaps late August is a known time people won't be watching much and they can get away with a week of him. Make goods in general are scheduled late in the Priceless summer anyways.

And of course, GuyWithFace, the rerun schedule this season has been completely affected by the announcer. Quite a few bad shows have found their way into this year's mix unfortunately, and exceptions have been made only for holiday shows if I recall right. Very likely just a one season thing (unless George gets fired... but that's even more unlikely, I think).

Unless you'd rather Price do the same thing as Wheel so better shows pop up? Because the way Mike has used the announcer on-screen, that's impossible. ;) If your complaint is about announcers not getting good share time... well, I mean, these are the new announcers, that's kind of natural...

Spelling Bee:  Good thing Trent bailed!
1 Right Price, Pick A Number, Safe Crackers:  Nice win! :-)
Grocery Game:  I honestly thought Elizabeth was screwed after reaching $18.32.  Nicely done! :-)
Line Em Up:  I thought Janina was gonna botch it up big time on her second try.  Nice win! :-)
SCSDs:  Two $1.00s & a $10,000 win - great!
Showcases:  What a pity that such a good show had to end with a double overbid :-(

Great show overall, IMHO.  

I am looking forward to Season 40.  I hope it's better than Season 39 was.

What a great show and it was SOOOOO good to see Bee. Regardless, I still don't like the rotation that the game is on....but maybe that is because I'm biased.

Drew actually did math in Grocery Game!? AMAZING!

Yeah I noticed that. I don't know that Drew would have let her do it though if she actually tried, kinda surprised he didn't say anything when it appeared she was gonna.

Drew doesn't say anything in Bonkers, Race Game, Switcheroo among other games in which people can make foolish mistakes like that. I think it is their game to lose if they aren't paying attention.

This was an absolutely wonderful lineup, I loved seeing Safe Crackers there; HOWEVER there could have been one thing done to make it the best show in the Mike era.....played Safe Crackers for a car. Besides cues, this is honestly the biggest gripe about Mike I have. 3 Car Shows aren't bad Mike, for goodness sake humor us.

And that was Season 39, which will be overshadowed by Season 40. Darn those numbers divisible by 10!

It was a nice show. I'd never heard White before, and, well... he seems awkward.

I thought a lot of contestants had screwed up, but then actually won.

I'll never like Pick A Number. They need to redesign it, so it is a lot more fun. Either that, or come up with two other quickies to ensure it gets played less often.

Ah, a Double-Overbid, the 12th one this season (I think). Don't get too happy on The Price is Right, folks. You will always jinx it.

So no perfect shows. I would say they were saving money for next season, but since they ended up overspending anyway, it didn't seem to work. =/

I didn't know that new August shows were not a common practice. I think they're a good idea. Maybe one a week.

Per the FAQ, if the contestant takes the money in Spelling Bee it's considered a partial win. Therefore it could be considered a "lossless" show.
