The TALK Is Right / Re: Canada's TPIR has a premiere date!
« Last post by Kyle on Today at 07:54:06 AM »
The latest in the growing puzzle that is the Showcase Showdown... apparently netting $1.00 in TWO spins doesn't award the $1,000 bonus. We can infer this as no graphics or music was played for this contestant despite the fact that the following contestant got a dollar in one spin and did receive the bonus.

Puzzling even further, you would think that the two $1.00 spinners would then have a spin-off to decide who gets the bid/pass option in the Showcase but apparently not! The $1.00 in one spin player was apparently just defaulted that honour with no explanation given.

My goodness.

Is TPIR Barker still even on Roku Channel?

I checked it last night and it had the Roku Channel's "Your Programming Will Be Back Shortly" card, and this morning it appeared to be gone altogether.

Temporary glitch on my end, or is it just gone from this particular platform?

The TALK Is Right / Re: The Price is Right: The Barker Era on Pluto TV

I believe it started at the beginning of the week (if not the weekend).  Things were pretty normal during the final week of April.  Well for the most part.

Pluto finished with their S17 slate before resetting to 4581 around 11 PM a couple Sundays ago.  For some reason, they went back to Season 17 and the episodes repeated before resetting again about 24 hours later.  By Tuesday everything ran in order for the most part.  Until this week.

Around this time last week, Roku finished its S14 content, and then got into the 70s material followed by S17 (on May 1st).  At some point during the weekend or Monday, I lost track as everything was all over the place.  IMO they weren't just jumping between seasons, but they were jumping around episodes within a season.

Same thing with Pluto, I think.  Not a super big deal.  While running in their typical order is nice & convenient I actually don't mind the recent randomness.  Felt like one minute I'm watching Season 11 or 12, and then out of nowhere it's Season 2, and later Season 17.

I haven't followed either platform throughout an entire day, so maybe there's a reason.  Personally, I'm okay with it.

I was at this taping and can confirm it was taped on 10/2, as it was the day before I started my new job in LA. Only 48 people showed up for this taping, so people's odds of getting picked were pretty good. My only guess about why it was swapped with 1414L is the trip to Mexico, which was undergoing bad press in early March, when this was supposed to air. (No, Tulum was nowhere near where the issues were, but most people would just see a trip to Mexico and not be familiar enough with the country's geography to realize that.)

The highlight was definitely the Stack win. I was very surprised Bonkers was not set up with a "go with the odds" setup, as the first fake number being 6 would usually mean the correct answer is lower. I guess Chris felt making the first fake digit a 5 or lower would have made it too easy.

The Barker channel is running on other streaming services besides Pluto, such as the Samsung and LG services. They're not in sync with the Pluto one. I noticed that the Samsung TV version isn't padded out to an hour, so the episodes don't start at the top of the hour.

Dropped into the tubi/directv stream version of the feed last night and tonight.  Not sure when this started, but they've started jumping between seasons instead of running in sequence. Went from a s17 to an S12 when I watched last night, and as I type this they were airing mid s12 and are now in early s11.

Out In Left Field / Re: Hollywood Squares 2025

The press release from early March listing the celebrities who will appear as guests mentions an additional episode left for the season or the series itself is slated to air on May 27.

Unless that one is "out of order" or something special, seeing how it is on much earlier than the rest have been shown (8-8:30 vs. the 10:30-11 time)?

Avoid the last digit of 5 or 9...and not go with 25,678 (too sequential to be real) helped narrow down the choices.  You could tell in Drew's voice he was pleased with the win as he doesn't care for the game due to the infrequency of wins

You're not wrong. And he's equally pleased when games like That's Too Much, Time Is Money, and Temptation are won as well

VERY good question. Honestly? Even I wouldn't have gotten it because I was banking on the last number being 5. Thank the lord Theresa proved me wrong and pulled that win out of nowhere!

That Stack win was pretty insane, how in the world was a 23k SUV priced properly AND the fake -5 and -9 endings avoided?

Tricky mic'ing of Laide...Glad she wasn't playing Lion's Share.  That dress and the wind chamber might have changed the TV rating number  :roll:

Good job on Dice Game. The dreaded 3 didn't kill the win

Noah...Guessing...hasn't seen the show before..

What?  WHAT?   Stack was WON..and with only 2 numbers!  Very well done!
