The Price is Right

Love the show BUT one gripe I have is the contestants turning around and asking the audience what to do or say. Evidently the powers that be tell them to do that because they ALL do it. The audience DOES NOT KNOW any better than the contestants. The only exceptions are games like the clock game where they have no time to ask.

Another thing I have noticed is when the 4 contestants are bidding during contestants row, about once a week someone will bid say $900, then the next contestant bids $$899, one dollar UNDER the previous bid. That always make me laugh because with that bid there is no way to win except if the bid is right on the money. I have seen someone do that at least 10 times and they never win. Also they bid one dollar a lot of times when the item is clearly in the thousands. And I love it when all 4 bid $1, then $2, then $3 and then $4. Also that range game is always right in the middle and they stop way too early And the topper is Plinko. Drew is trying to tell them without telling them to start in the middle. He keeps telling them loudly that the $10,000 is right in the middle. If they start in the middle and win the $10,000, then they don't drop in the middle again and it falls in the $ZERO. Low IQ is running amok on this show

BTW I really think this show should be changed to you win when you are the closest bid - not just without going over. People are bidding one dollar all the time or one dollar over the last bid and they almost always win. Takes away the fun.

I guess I am a Game Show fanatic! I have just finnished commentnig on Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! I love to watch the Price is Right on days off from School and over the summer. I like seeing the prizes and the reactions you get from people when they win something. It's a great show and I am so glad that CBS still shows it.

With those 3 little words, you know that you're in for a fun time every weekday, and even after over 50 years being on the air, it's not slowing down anytime soon!

When the show first debuted in 1972, it started off as a half-hour show before expanding to an hour 3 years later in 1975, and the rest is television history!

The late, great Bob Barker was the first host of the show, and hosted it with class, sophistication and quickness. He hosted it for the first 35 seasons of the show before retiring in 2007 at the end of the season.

Then, at the start of the show's 36th season, we get our 2nd host in the name of Drew Carey, who is still hosting it as of this year, and even though he was a little nervous when he first started, he quickly got comfortable in the role, and I liked him as the host. Even if Carey isn't as good as Barker, at least he's being himself and not trying to imitate him in the process. Alongside the host were the announcers, starting with the late Johnny Olson as the show's first announcer until his sad death in 1985, and after some guest announcers filled in for the late Olson, the show's 2nd announcer Rod Roddy, joined in 1986 and announced until his death in 2003, then Rich Fields would take over a year later continued to announce for the show after Barker left the show and Carey took over, and after Fields left in 2011, George Gray would become the show's 4th announcer and has since remained the announcer as of this year.

And of course, the show wouldn't be completed without the rotating models from Barker's Beauties to the current ones, like the lovely and elegant Janice Pennington, the beautiful and sexy Dian Parkinson (my favorite model of the Barker's Beauties era), the cute and adorable Holly Hallstrom (my 2nd favorite of the BB era), the equally beautiful Kathleen Bradley, the lovely Chantel Dubay, the equally beautiful Brandi Sherwood, and from the current era, Gwendolyn Osborne, Amber Lancaster, Alexis Gaube, and my personal favorite of the current era, the beautiful and lovely Rachel Reynolds!

So, if you love pricing games and winning big money or a brand-new car, then come on down and watch The Price Is Right!

After over thirty years on the air, this I think it is right to call this show an institution. The Price Is Right is one of the few shows on television that is loved by young and old alike and that can be attributed to Bob Barker and the production staff who have done everything over the years to keep it fresh and innovative as well as exciting for the viewers. This is truly one show that I am proud to say that I grew up with.

Come on Down, but need I say more this is a long running TV classic that millions of Americans loved each and everyday! So good you have a loud and cheering audience and contestants are selected to make bids on prices of showcase items for then a chance to compete at higher prices and win big money! And many of the games and items shown are tough, but it's so interesting to try and price items. Bob Barker always made it watchable, he's a legend so classy and professional his voice and hosting is classic he was such a hard worker for so many years. A final note the showcase models were fantastic to watch also it made the male viewer take his eye and mind off the prizes for awhile at least especially when the screen showed sexy beauties Nikki Ziering or Dian Parkinson. Really a daytime TV legendary classic!
