Question: Is there anything better than watching The Price Is Right in your underwear?
Answer: Absolutely Not
The Price Is Right may be the best show of all time...it's by far the best game show. I've noticed that there are a few common themes that make a great TPIR episode and every once in a while, you'll get all of these in one episode. Today, friends, was one of those days. Let me draw it out for you.
1. A great episode has at least one player that was asked to "Come on Down" but can never manage to make it up to the stage. Towards the end of the show this player desperately begs the audience for help and somehow still manages to get it wrong.
2. A great episode has several home-made t-shirts expressing the contestant's love for Bob Barker and/or some bit of personal information (Example: I survived polio so I could kiss Bob!)
3. In a great episode, someone (preferably an old woman) almost falls down while spinning the wheel.
4. One word: Plinko
5. The cocky college prick from Michigan loses the most obvious of games and goes over while spinning the big wheel. The audience applaudes
6. The showcase showdown has some combination of old people who don't realize what things actually cost now ("New car, must be about $5000 I suppose") and crazy people of any age who jump up and down frantically at every prize, even if it's new carpet or a crappy DVD collection.

Has anyone noticed that Bob Barker is becoming very irritable? A good question to ponder: What happens to TPIR when Bob can no longer go? Do you give it a try with Alex Trebeck? Or maybe Home Improvement's Al? He's tearing it up on Family Feud.
I think Chris Kattan could bridge that gap and really fill that void that all of us will be missing after Bobbie is gone.

As my favorite comedian Dane Cook, said...
The Price is Right is sweet sweet medicine for those who stayed home and called in sick to work.
