Hey Guys,
I'd like to get your opinions on TPiR's newest pricing game 'Balance
Game.' If you don't know how it is played (& it's not played like the
old one), take a look at this wiki description:

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_Game_2006_%
28The_Price_is_Right_pricing_game%29).

I want your opinions, is the game good, bad, both, neither. But I
don't want outright bashing with no logical reason for it. Tell me
what you think of it.

Thanks,
Justin S. Aldridge

Happy New Year, everybody!  Hope you all have a great year!

HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY! Thanks to everyone (all 134 of you) who has
made this group a success. ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB! 82 years young, and still goin' strong, here's to
33 more years on TPiR! ;)

I believe he was referring to me, seeing that I am the one who owns
that collection.  Yes, I do have some Dept. store SC with Dian, but
I do not have the capability to upload them to the computer.  I'm
sure one of our friendly "clip creaters" might make one soon.

Good luck!
Justin

LOS ANGELES - Broadcasting pioneer Ralph Edwards, who spotlighted
stars and ordinary people as host of the popular 1950s show "This Is
Your Life," died Wednesday of heart failure. He was 92.

Edwards, whose career as producer and host included "Truth or
Consequences" and "People's Court," died in his sleep in his West
Hollywood home, publicist Justin Seremet said.

Edwards first hit it big in radio in 1940 with "Truth or
Consequences," a novelty show in which contestants who failed to
answer trick questions — the "truth" — had to suffer "the
consequences" by performing some elaborate stunt.

Then came television. The Federal Communications Commission approved
commercial broadcasts beginning on July 1, 1941, after a few years
of experimental broadcasts, and NBC's New York station was the first
to make the changeover.

"Amazingly enough, I did 'Truth or Consequences' on television in
July 1941. It was the first commercial show for NBC," Edwards
recalled.

"A 10-second commercial was $9," he said.

The United States' entry into World War II five months later
disrupted TV's progress. "Truth or Consequences," which prospered on
radio in the interim, returned to television in 1950.

Earlier that same year, the citizens of little Hot Springs, N.M.,
voted 1,294-295 to change the town's name to Truth or Consequences.
Edwards had promised to broadcast the radio show from the town that
agreed to the change.

"In those days, nothing seemed impossible," he once said.

"Truth or Consequences" later launched the career of Bob Barker,
tabbed by Edwards as master of ceremonies in 1956. Barker, who went
on to host "The Price Is Right," on Wednesday hailed Edwards as "one
of the finest men I have ever met and a gentleman about whom I have
never heard a word of criticism."

"This Is Your Life" also was born on radio and then migrated to
television, running on NBC-TV from 1952 to 1961. It featured guests,
many of them celebrities, who were lured in on a ruse, then
surprised by Edwards announcing, "This is your life!" Relatives and
old friends then would be brought on to reminisce about the guest.

Among the people he caught unaware were Marilyn Monroe, Stan Laurel
and Oliver Hardy, Bob Hope,     Andy Griffith, Buster Keaton,
Barbara Eden, Bette Davis,     Shirley Jones,     Jayne Mansfield
and     Carol Channing.

But not all guests were entertainers. A 1953 episode profiled Hanna
Bloch Kohner, a survivor of the Holocaust.

"At least half of our guests were ordinary people," Edwards
said. "In the beginning we didn't use celebrities at all. But when
we did, I think it humanized the stars and gave them more appeal."

Edwards said he and his staff used all kinds of subterfuge to
surprise guests. Some would run away and be pulled back, all in fun,
but broadcaster Lowell Thomas made headlines when he refused to play
along on a 1959 show.

"He saw instantly what was going on, and nobody puts anything over
on Lowell Thomas," Edwards recalled years later. "He tore the show
apart. I said, 'You're going to enjoy this,' and he said, 'I doubt
that very much.'"

"His third-grade teacher said he knew every rock and rill in the
Rockies. And he said, 'Yeah, and I knew every saloon, too,'" Edwards
recalled. "The rating kept going up during the show as people called
their friends to tune in."

According to the reference book "The Complete Directory to Prime
Time Network and Cable TV Shows," one person was off limits for the
surprise treatment: Edwards himself. He told staff members he would
fire every one of them if they put him on.

Both "Truth" and "This Is Your Life" have periodically returned to
television in syndicated form.

Just last week, it was announced that a new version of "This is Your
Life," with     Regis Philbin ("Live with Regis and Kelly") as host,
is planned by ABC. Philbin previously was host of "Who Wants to be a
Millionaire" for the network.

Over the years, Edwards kept himself busy as a producer.

Edwards had a hand in other shows, producing or creating "Name That
Tune," "Cross Wits," "Superior Court," "It Could Be You," "Place the
Face," "About Faces," "Funny Boners," "End of the Rainbow," "Who in
the World," "The Woody Woodbury Show" and "Wide Country." In
the '80s, Ralph Edwards Productions' show "The People's Court" made
a star of retired Judge Joseph A. Wapner.

"We've seen many changes and enjoyed them all," Edwards said in a
1999 interview. "I still find 'live' the most exciting, particularly
for my type of shows."

Edwards broke into radio in 1929 in Oakland as a 16-year-old high
school student.

He worked at KROW and KFRC in San Francisco while attending college
at the University of California at Berkeley.

"The changes in both radio and television are mind-boggling,"
Edwards said. He recalled that until 1948 his radio version
of "Truth or Consequences" was done twice each Saturday, once for
the east coast and again three hours later for the West Coast.

"We would use the same script, but all new contestants," he said.

Edwards said he went back to Truth or Consequences, N.M., dozens of
times over the years.

Besides changing the name, townspeople made Edwards an honorary
member of the Sheriff's Posse. The name continues a half-century
later. Periodic efforts to reverse the change failed.

"I am truly proud of my namesake city and have enjoyed a wonderful
association throughout the years," he said.

He also appeared in several motion pictures: "Seven Days
Leave," "Radio Stars on Parade," "Bamboo Blonde," "Beat the
Band," "I'll Cry Tomorrow," "Manhattan Merry-Go-Round" and "Radio
Stars of 1937."

Edwards' wife, Barbara, died in 1993 after 53 years of marriage.
Their children are a son, Gary, who worked with Edwards; and two
daughters, Christine and Laurie.

A memorial service was set for Dec. 1.

The end of an era has come to pass, this past Friday (11/11/05) was
the last show to be aired to include the famous mid-show bumper used
for 30 years.  It was removed to make because of time cuts.  Let us
observe a moment of silence...

"Stay tuned for more pricing games, & the fabulous showcases coming
up, on the 2nd half of The Price is Right!"

Hey guys! I was just wondering what your favorite PiR moment is.
Whether it be a blooper, a crazy contestant, a set change, a new
game, etc.. Post here! I'm eager to learn what fans enjoyed most.

Not all are specific moments, but their the things i
enjoyed the most as loyal friend and true to the show:

i enjoyed watching my favorite games and playing
along.

Anytime a contestant wins both showcases!!!!

Various bloopers and wheelies (too many to name)

Any contestant that has a time trying to putt a ball
in Hole in One.

And games that are retired I miss (Superball, Bump,
Super Saver (remember when it brand new), penny ante)

And showcase themes they no longer use (Trip Down main
Street, TPiR Warehouse, Time Capulse,and various
others)

Currently as long as I get to Cliff Hangers, Shell
Game, Master Key, Check-Out, Check Game, and 3
Strikes, I'm satisfied.
