It seemed that the Game Show marathon nose dived into mind numbing stupidity with The Price is Right. A lot of the contestants didn't seem remotely interested in the show. A lot of them were squealing like idiots and some were just paying around on Camera... It seemed to hurt the rest of the series. These people are playing for a charity of their choosing, but I feel bad for them. My advice is not to play down or act stupid even if it is trying to liven things up on national TV.
The one bright spot is the Press Your Luck segment... The Detail is close to the original set and it was really neat to see the old Whammy back on our screens again. Best of all, Ricki Lake made up for the shoddy start to this series by not fooling around or acting too silly...
The audience had an incredible energy that I have not seen since the original show... The contestants save for one, really seemed to be enjoying themselves...
The clips of that show brought back a lot of memories for me as a kid and I could almost feel Peter's spirit and I thought of Rod too... The memorial at the end was a nice touch.. Aside from a shining moment on the PYL set, the goofing around on the first show seemed to hurt the rest of the series...
CBS needs to bring back PYL for another charity type show.. The crown jewel in what would have been a totally bleak series... PYlk is the one bright spot in it...
