Price is Right Recaps! / Re: TPiR Recap - 5/16/2024

That's Too Much has grown on me quite a bit, grown (not GROAN)...

I like how they show the price range before the reveal.

I enjoy Punch A Bunch, felt disappointed that only 2 punches were won though.

I lamented to my wife and son who were watching about how that guy with only 2 punches won $2,500 while the last Plinko game with 3 chips only netted $1,500.  I'd far prefer Punch A Bunch to Stinko...

I "won" Bullseye doing the very same thing taking 2 of the same item. 

Now that I tape the show and can watch, I can write more on here about the shows too.  The recaps are genuinely appreciated!  Outstanding work as always.

Was good seeing Any Number.  I was telling my son how that's the oldest game and then Drew mentioned about it being one of the very first games too.  I like how Drew shares the history of the show at times.

After the difficult Five Price Tags game, I was so pleased to see Carrie Anne win a car in the showcase!

That Dice Game win was incredible!  Really well played and a well deserved win!

Was glad to see Pick A Number won too.

This makes me wonder what restrictions there might have been in place that are, unfortunately, no longer in place on episodes and content.

I am assuming you mean episodes featuring fur coats, now that Bob has passed away?

For the most part yes, the most expensive item is usually a medical product or some other non-food item.
Based on that, I knew Daniel lost when he put the chicken tenders in that bag. Even though plant based can run up the price (I was surprised it was only $6), the second bag had to be the sunscreen.

For the second straight postseason, the Florida Panthers eliminate the Boston Bruins by a 2-1 score and take the series 4-2. They will face off against the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference Final, which will begin on Wednesday and the series will be on ESPN/ABC.

Meanwhile, it took double overtime for the Dallas Stars to finish the job and eliminate the Colorado Avalanche by a 2-1 score and take the series 4-2 after a no goal call for goalie interference in the first overtime - they will face the winner of the Vancouver Canucks-Edmonton Oilers series, which could wrap up by tonight or if the Edmonton Oilers win Game 6, extend it to Game 7 on Monday night. The Western Conference Final in the US will be on TNT.

And in other news, the Toronto Maple Leafs have hired Craig Berube as their head coach.

We've hit 63 wins in Bonus Land with the three wins in the final sixth week of season 41.   

It was great to see a Million Dollar Bonus Land tonight.   I personally thought the Raw Deal list was going to be in play today but I was wrong.   Smart letter picks by tonight's contestant.   Too bad she forfeited the Wild Card to the Bankrupt...

While the first two bags are always the cheapest and most expensive, I've noticed the expensive item is never something you eat or drink, am I right on that? Correct me if I'm wrong.
For the most part yes, the most expensive item is usually a medical product or some other non-food item.

We've had a week of memories with Pat, including interviews and some one-liners. There were also male contestants who dressed "better than the host"...actually, one of them was dressed the same as Pat. :oldlol:

Unsurprisingly, one of the clips was A GROUP OF PILL-PUSHERS from NYC 1999. That moment can never get too much mileage, it seems.

Only 3 more weeks of Pat Sajak remain! Enjoy while you can!

The TALK Is Right / Re: Are they taping 'next year' now?

So, if there's so much room in the studio, why half the number of seats in the audience compared to what there used to be?  Clearly it sounds as if they have room.  I suppose it's a great convenience to leave both sets standing, but Price never had that privilege in all its years at TVC.

I don't believe it is as wide as it was in TVC. I haven't sit down and counted the columns of seats across, but it seems less wide than 33 - it would probably look absurd to add rows (i.e. make the studio deeper & also higher - remember, there's still a slope down to contestants row).

As best as I can tell, they've made it as wide as they can make it and this is a physical limitation of the space: there are hallways on both sides - the one you walk through to get to the set, and the one where production/crew runs around. One of these (the production side) butts up against the outer wall of the studio and the other (the one the audience walks through) butts up against a "finished" hallway that has a number of furnished suites.

One open space. I think the control room is between the two just covered by curtains and/or partitions.

Yeah, the control room is maybe 10 feet wide, running between the two sets and covered by curtains that say "do not touch".

The control room and audio room is down the long corridor you enter in. Press Your

Let’s Make a Deal’s set on the stage?
