PRICE IS RIGHT SNAFU THIS MORNING

gregg75

gregg75

So they come back from commercial break and Drew explains that the 1st lady has already
spun in the spin-off..............but the cameras weren't rolling! WAS IT VODKA DAY ON T.P.I.R.?

Her 85 is allowed to stay and she says HI to her family. Drew said even though we didn't see it
the 300 people in the audience were all witnesses.
 
I didn't see this show, but my suspicion is that either the contestant jumped the gun, or Drew may have prematurely told her to spin the wheel. Network game show standards and practices probably dictated that the result of that spin had to stand, even though it wasn't recorded.
 
The Price is Right snafu'd when they selected the successor to Bob Barker, who promptly brought in all of his cronies and toadies.

What you have now is a hybrid between an iconic game show and a tired, old, worn out sitcom.
 
The other iconic daytime game shows are dead, so maybe some kind of hybridity is keeping this one alive...despite the number of people updating us on their daily foibles and 'mistakes...."

What episode was this, because I believe they're currently in reruns for most of the summer.

It was a rerun, but I don't know when it originally aired.
 
I have a horrible feeling this was a secret test to see if the audience would accept this, then they could cut the segment and air more commercials instead ;D
 
More Scooter Store and Hoveround ads!

Nope, that would be the current Australian version -- which happens to be one big nightly infomercial for retailer Big W -- we discussed in another thread (Better quality video of the A Current Affair piece on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_rICzY4LaQ.

The 1994 nighttime TPIR was a little alright IMO, only that it and most daytime soaps were getting, uh..."murdered" in the ratings by the O.J. Simpson trial.

Right!
And are we really going to get a new thread for every tiny little mix up?
Stuff happens.

Seriously man... Move on!

Nate Wesley, I love the entertainment biz more than just about any other business in the world, and exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize it perpetually.

Does anyone remember when Bob and Rod talked about the Davidson version during daytime TPIR and all the confusion it was causing viewers (Bob even said that someone thought that he had gone to the big "Showcase in the sky," in my words, due to the Davidson TPIR being promoted as the "New Price is Right" with the "new host")? Very humorous exchange, IMO (linked from YouTube):

Ironically, Bob and Rod discussed the nighttime TPIR in the show which aired Feb. 1, 1995--5 days after Davidson's TPIR swan song (although the nighttime version was still on its last legs when this show was taped). Most of this episode is on YouTube:

Loved it when Rod reminded Bob and the audience that this was "THE Price is Right." But we all can disagree with Janice's claim that it was the "original Price is Right"--this is the "Original Price is Right":
