-Lineup: Hmmm...maybe switch Bonkers and Grandy. Just don't leave a SP or GP at the end when the car game of the 1st half is Rangey - that was weird-looking.
-Rangey: Arrgh, it was -995. Begley was OK, at least it was only once in PGs. 8/10
-ME: Coats > regular clothes? And why were the other two only $6 apart? 9/10
-Bonkers: EL EXCELENTE!! 11/10
-SD1: 5/5. I don't get excited over new shots, but it's nice to see DiPirro looking throughout the years and bringing back some classics.
-Balance: I had a feeling it was cheap, but she never thought so. 7/10
-Grandy: There we go. 9/10
-Pathy: First time since 11/9/00, according to Fireball, this was 6th - cool! Hmm...the 4 wasn't on an edge of the square, it snaked back in. I guess that's something now non-guaranteed because of Roger...and a repeating digit? Oogh. 8/10
-SD2: 6/5. My goodness, 5 dollars in 2 days, but just $5,000 from it - going by odds, there was about a 55.62% chance that all 5 bonus spins would produce $0. Oh well, the WHITE-hot streak can continue tomorrow and we can finally pass GO and collect 10 or 25k...
-SC1: Mmm...those donations sucked up all the prizes, leaving a very blah SC. 4/5
-SC2: Begley did better here - showing us another nice foreign car! 5/5
-Results: Barely a double-garf. That safari was over 15k for sure, and the Aico looked nice, producing the expected...since it was solar-powered, I look to the cart to be more than expected. 8/10
-Drew: Forgot Bonkers again in the moment...come on, I know you can get it right... 8/10

PGs: 52/60
SDs: 11/10
SCs: 17/20
Drew: 8/10

88 --> B+

Green Day wasn't too overpowering, Bonkers was wonderful, Wheel is hot...overcame more tough car setups for sure.

Post by: 88JRFAN on April 22, 2009, 03:05:57 PM

very good PG setup today.

Range: I had a slight feeling the price would be slightly under $16K. Not a bad looking car.
ME: Nice win. Again with the clothes being more expensive than the other prizes
Bonkers: Can't play it any better than that. No looking at crowd = Big success
SCSD1: YAY 4 THE $1K DIG WE MUST-ER!
Balance: $5795 seemsd more correct than $4795. Tough loss
Grandy: Nice win. GPs seemed tough today.
Pathy: Evil car price. Never would've guessed 7 for the 2nd number or 2, 1, 4. for the others
SCSD2: YAY FOR THE 2ND AND 3RD $1K DIG WE MUST-ERS! 2nd time this week seeing a contestant win with less than 30 cents in a spinoff. LOL.
SCs.: pretty good. I would've never thought of bidding more than $20K on the Africa trip SC or more than $28K on the Prius SC.

Overall: 9/10  :-D

I dunno. Not to knock electric cars, but does a ZENN qualify as a "car" per se?

Nice to see that these "theme" shows are starting to work. It's as I stated way earlier ... all you have to have is proper execution, and admittedly learn through trial and error, and you might have something.

Post by: Mallory16 on April 22, 2009, 03:20:10 PM

Considering the six games played, they could not have been slotted any better.  Range Game makes for a great first game, Bonkers fits nicely third, with the lesser Most Expensive in between to break up the two 1-prizes being back-to-back.  And then the showcase showdown as a break before Balance Game.  Maybe Bonkers or Balance Game could have been replaced with the also-fun Safe Crackers to cut down on the 1-prizers, but I thought it worked pretty darn well, regardless.  Pathfinder sixth was... well, Pathfinder sixth :biggrin:!  And as far as "boring quickies" go, Most Expensive is better than most.  Pure pricing at its simplest, really.

Speaking of Pathfinder, does anyone know if there's ever been a playing where the last number was not on the board's edge?  The new person's been good about avoiding "conflicts" on the Pathfinder keypad, anyway.

On another random note, seeing Bonkers and Balance Game in the same show feels kinda' strange, even though there's no real reason they would conflict.  I think it's just the staging.

The car cue used in Range Game may have been the worst car cue ever used.  It's not even that it was a bad cue.  It's that it really should be reserved for something like items up for bids.  Not cars.  I mean, would it really fit if the 3-digit prize cue in Any Number were used for the car instead?  The segue leading to the car reveal was also astonishingly weak.

Hmmm...maybe switch Bonkers and Grandy. Just don't leave a SP or GP at the end when the car game of the 1st half is Rangey - that was weird-looking.

I disagree.  It still would've been good, mind you, but lacking the same punch.  The slotting of the games was spot on.  Absolutely any change would have lessened the impact.

I only have a quick comment for now, maybe more later: What an awesome lineup! A Sha-bang Wower! I've perferred shorties in the first half! Pathfinder in the last spot is a brilliant idea I'd like to see a few more times (not too many, though). That's what sticks out to me about today's episode.

it looked awesome.  However, it wasn't able to suppress my dislike for this show.  I feel the whole "green" argument gets way too political, and no matter what side of the fence you are on, the show felt a lot like a political statement to me.  Love the theme shows, but keep them out of any issue that could possibly antagonize a class of people.

Another interesting tidbit - this is the first time since November 9, 2000 (season 29) that Pathfinder was played last. And I must say today's lineup was unique in some ways. Adam finally placed a long game last in the lineup. Now all I'm hopeing for is Card Game last for the first time since December 2003 or possibly Check-Out. The car today just wasn't going to be won, and there was little the contestant could have done.

For example...just a thought...did like the arrow though during the SCSD`s today...looks like some has been in the vault or youtube...

Whoo hoo--today's lineup was just flat out a-w-e-s-o-m-e. This felt like a Roger lineup--slotting and all. You just knew something had to be up when Range Game and Most Expensive were the lead off games. Wow!! I love it when the gp and sp games are played 5th and 6th--no matter which order, but to actually see Pathfinder last again was just a tremendous treat. Again, I stress seeing both the gp and the sp games back to back 5th and 6th is an awesome way to end the pricing game portion of the show.

Speaking of lineups has anyone else noticed besides myself that over the last several weeks we've been seeing progessively better and better lineups and slotting?

What in the world was that cue they used for the electric car in  Range Game? That was awful.

Bonkers was played beautifully. That would have been a shame if Michael hadn't won considering he didn't waste any time looking out to the audience.

Y'know you just had to have seen Grand Game coming a mile away today since the show was all about "going green." Well, Grandy fits the "green" bill to a tee :-P

Oh was Pathfinder a beautiful sight to behold 6th. That almost brought a tear to my eye.

That 2nd showcase today was good--prizes and theme worked very well together.

Overall a very nice effort today. Today's show definitely exceeded my expectations.

 (Figured I would go with green text today)

Range Game: Range Game for a car? Hmmm…. It’s too bad she lost.

One Bid #2: I like the shot used toward the end.

Most Expensive: That is one ugly backdrop. Drew’s right, Most Expensive is one of the oldest games (9th to debut) still played to this day.

Bonkers: Another contestant who knows how to play this game. The best part was him getting the win at the buzzer.

SCSD #1: Man, that arrow shot was pure awesomeness!

OB #4: “The Purple Wheel Secret Society”.   :lol:

Balance Game: Tough loss.

Grand Game: I had a feeling this game was going to show up today. A game with a “green” prop, playing for “green” products, and giving away lots of “green”, was very fitting for today. Great win.

Pathfinder: It was a nice treat to see this game played last. Unfortunately, it had an evil setup.

SCSD #2: The arrow still looked awesome.

Showcases: Nice showcases.

A superb playing of Bonkers, the return of the arrow screen shot in the Showcase Showdown, and Pathfinder 6th, made this a fantastic show today.

On Pathfinder, it was definitely an evil setup.  I caught something on there that made me feel like a moron.  Whenever Drew mentioned where she could step to for the second number before Rich mentioned the small prizes.  The 5 to her left lit up and flashed like she had it right.  I remembered that it happened one other time and that was the right number.  But I was sorely mistaken this time!

Good job on Mr. DiPirro's arrow graphic.  I kinda wish however it was for the normal spins as well, instead of the split screen.  But it was still great to see it, nonetheless.

Ed Begley, Jr., who couldn't even solve a Price is Right puzzle on Body Language...

Range Game: Boy, I wanted to go above 16,400. That would've put me over the scale, so I went with around 16,199. Still above the right price.

One Bid 2: "Let's hear it for our teachers who teach people like Antonio to write and spell so they can put it on their shirts. Either that or Antonio wants to be funny with the language and handwriting to become a contestant...."

Most Expensive: Ugh. Sometimes I got to remember that designer stuff can be very expensive.

Bonkers: I was slightly spoiled with Wayoshi's video title, but I did not know what exactly. I figured it out on Michael's last try: he got it.

Showcase Showdown(s): Hey, it's the arrow shot! Cool!

One Bid 4: "Purple Wheel Secret Society? Yeah, that'll get you on."

Balance Game: Oooh, I dozed off on this one.

Grand Game: Ever since I found out this was an Earth Day episode, I was expecting this game to come up because I knew some people will mention the word "green." And, boy, did this game go "green!"

Pathfinder: Still dozed (, but went back to see all of Grand Game). Somehow, I was able to mentally and audibly play along with the game. I was able to go low on the mop and high on the faucet while dozed. I guess you can be sleeping and still be able to play along with the game. Kinda weird.

The Showcases were okay.

It was just that way so he could make an entrance, but what would've looked better was to just have him come through Door#3 with the Barker Wall behind him so we wouldn't see the car. I thought today's show worked pretty well. It wasn't too over the top with the theme for the day. And if there was a better day to have a GP game, today was it. Doing that worked great because brand name groceries could display their new "green" products.

This was certainly one of the best shows as far as the slotting of the games in a long time.

Range Game-I just knew she had stopped it just a tad too late.

Most Expensive-This took me completely by surprise to see this after Range Game. A good thing he took those clothes.

Bonkers-Played near perfectly, with an exciting win.

Man, that big wheel is hot lately. Now if they can just get the bonus money...

Balance Game-I thought it was $7k easily.

Grand Game-Great win, I never thought the potting soil was less.

Pathfinder-This game was just meant to be lost today. It was played well despite the nasty price.

The showcases were good, too.  I like the donations to the various causes, but I thought both contestants had gone over.

Post by: SteveGavazzi on April 22, 2009, 10:09:44 PM

There was just nothing about Range Game that worked on this episode.  Ed Begley, Jr. showed almost no emotion (which was a problem in the Showcase, too), he revealed the car before the car was...well, revealed, and Drew apologized to him instead of Brooke after it wasn't won!

Incidentally, the car cue in Range Game was...um...well, not a car cue.

I guess those zigzag thingies are going to be part of Most Expensive permanently.  I'm still not sure whether I like them.

The end of Bonkers was awesome.

Once again, DiPirro provided the one of the greatest moments of the show, bringing back the Alter version of the split-screen arrow.

I'd like to know whether the "Purple Wheel Secret Society" is something unrelated to the show or a joke about Syd's little blunder back in July.

Having Bonkers and Balance Game on the same show just seemed weird.

Speaking of Balance Game, the balancing act just isn't as interesting when the scales move slowly like they did today.  It's much more fun to watch when they shift rapidly like they used to.

I'm pleasantly surprised that Grand Game got played on the "green" episode.

Seeing Pathfinder sixth was pretty cool.  Seeing the path end in the middle of the board for what I believe to be the first time ever was not cool.

All the extra stuff in the first showcase was kinda goofy...and it was painfully obvious that it was there primarily to mask the fact that the showcase only had two prizes in it.

The second showcase wasn't much better, mostly, as I said before, because Ed Begley, Jr. has apparently forgotten how to act.  The highlight -- although it was only a highlight in a "the show has fallen this far?!" kind of way -- was when he gestured to Door #3 for the car reveal...and it was revealed in Door #2.

Why in the world did DiPirro use the old school shot in the Showdown only once? It's nice to see it again, but it should be used more than just for bonus spins, if that's what he's planning on doing.

Speaking of Showdowns... how about that streak of $1K winners we're seeing? It's unreal.

Range: Too bad.

Most: That zigzag thing needs to go. It makes it look so cheesy. I wasn't fooled by the damn coats either. Good win.

Bonkers: WOW!!! Talk about a last-second win of epic proportions. Michael barely made it on this one.  :-)

SCSD #1: THE ARROW SHOT RETURNS!!!! DiPirro just can't seem to fail!!! WAY TO GO, RICHARD!!!!  8-) :D

Balance: I thought she had it, too.

Grand: A "Green" show brings us a "Green" game!!!  :D That Potting mix stunned me. I probably would've just bailed out. But Anna pulled it off and earned it very well!!  :-)

Pathfinder: No that's a great game to cap off the lineup!!!! The setup of the price was not much winnable unfortunately.

Showcases:

Interesting point... righties might be offended that "green" is an issue at all, and lefties might be offended at the capitalist hijacking of a political movement.

Personally, I fail to see how an electric bike is greener than a regular old bike, or how a 28% recycled plastic coffee cup will make environmentalists sleep better at night.

But (as a fan of capitalism, shopping and TPIR) I did love the theme, right down to having four "green" products during Grand Game. And kudos for that great $10k win, despite having products that nobody has ever had to price before!

Future theme shows I'd like to see: Talk like a Pirate day, Cinco de Mayo, 4th of July, Daytona 500. Okay maybe not Talk like a Pirate day.

Though I detect a sarcasm here, I think he means "showcases." Only the 4th of July one would even remotely make a good show theme - but the show is usually in summer break by then so it's a wash.

When they showed the Chevy Malibu Hybrid before the game Pathfinder, I noticed that on the background where they have the New York skyline that there was a red spot where I think the World Trade Center used to be.  Did they finally change this because of 9/11?  Or am I looking too deep?

Range:  Fugly car alert!

ME:  Yay!  Half-Off cue! :P

Bonk:  Michael played this game by the textbook.  He was fast and he didn't canvass the audience.  And what a finish, too!

SCSD #1:  Yay!  The return of the split screen arrow!  Richard continues to prove that he is the directing god.

Pathy:  Yay!  Pathfinder! :P  And it's last for the first time since November 9, 2000!

SC #2:  Shoot the green screen columns!
