A rumor has stated that in the fall, when barker retires, a rerun of price with barker on the weekends. 67.128.87.106 16:23, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
This is prefaced with the fact that I am a huge fan, but something has to be done about this article. It has become overloaded with so much fancruft, that I even lost interest in the article. With due respect for the contributors, I cite a sample of overemphasis on the trivial:
I say this in advance, rather than forge ahead with a major overhaul, that we need to re-evaluate this article, come up with a pruning strategy, and perhaps break out new articles (Bill Cullen and Doug Davidson versions come to mind). Those that do have separate articles ( Showcase Showdown and Barker's Beauties) need shorter sections and the {{main}} or {{details}} template, for example:
The section on Pricing Games is a perfect example and should be the barometer for future editing.
The Price Is Right is such a part of Americana, that it ought be a feature article. So instead of making massive edits, does anyone have any suggestions as to how we should tackle this? Should we set a goal as to when we should have the article ready for peer review? — Twigboy 05:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
I think there's an argument for removing more specific show air dates unless absolutely necessary to the meaning of the article. For example: the taping and original airdates of the New Orleans Katrina related shows is crucial to understanding why there was an uproar, and an argument can be made for stating the air date of the 'Winless show'. But it was intended for May 6, 2005, but was pre-empted (MDS section)? Or, two episodes intended for November 3 and 4 were moved up to take their places (Katrina section)? Unless someone is compiling 'The Complete Episode Guide to The Price is Right', I believe this level of detail is going to be confusing and unnecessary to the meaning of the Katrina section, which is talking about the direct impact of Hurricane Katrina on the show. Nor do I think it's particularly important that the June 12 episode was taped before the May 29 one, necessitating reversing the order of the words 'First' and 'Second' - they aired in the order they aired, and my use of the word 'first' and 'second' was as in 'air date' anyway. I would like to suggest that it is possible for this article to be informative and meaningful in context without stating every technical detail or exception to a rule - and would be a better article for using such a standard as a guidepost. I believe this may be part of why the cleanup tag was attached to this article in the first place; or, at least, I'd like to add my vote to keeping the cleanup tag for that reason now.
(Editorially, I suspect that once the June 12 episode has aired, they won't be aired with the forewards by the Senators again anyway, making them 'normal episodes'. At that point, that entire article section could probably be reduced to a broad stroke description of the impact (two shows were postponed from airing until aired with forewards by Louisiana's senators) and put in the trivia section. Not to 'trivialize', but this will be a footnote in two weeks. Skybunny 19:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Personally, I think we need to hold off on adding more images at this point. We are starting to get a little cluttered, with the text funneling between images in some places. Are we starting to dilute the fair use of these images? (Each one of the image is fair use on its own, but I think the fair-use arguement diminishes with every new photo.) I hope that we can get some strong editing to the article done first, and then we can look at the use of the visuals later. — Twigboy 17:27, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
The current version of The Price is Right should be at The Price is Right. The previous version from the 1950's should be The Price Is Right (1956 game show). Foreign versions need the "game show" tagged on it ( The Price Is Right (UK game show), etc), and the "New Price is Right" article should probably be named "The New Price Is Right (1994 game show)".
This is so that the names conform to other game show articles, to keep consistency. -- TonicBH 03:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I have pruned out a lot of detail out of this article which is starting to work itself back in through well-intentioned edits. I am not the be-all and end-all, but I wanted to explain rationale in the hopes of garnering a consensus. As such, I am presenting the following suggestions, subject to hammering out by my fellow Wikipedians:
That's all for now, although I'm sure I'll be adding some as they come to me. Thoughts? — Twigboy 20:53, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I attempted some clean up, writing more general descriptions of some sections and creating main articles for those who want more specific information on them. I hope that I wrote them in a way that someone who has no idea about the show can understand, leaving the detailed descriptions, with things like exact prize amounts, to the main articles. Hopefully together we can all fix this albatross. Buckner 1986 07:54, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, here I go again.
Now I've noticed that there are seperate articles for various sections of the show (such as Contestants' Row, Showcase Showdown (The Price Is Right (US)), etc). If my memory serves correctly, the UK and Australian Price is Right also had these but with slight differences.
How about we adjust most of the articles so that they're more universal and not just specific to the American version? I mean, even adding a small sentence would work. That and so we can make the Showcase Showdown article name be a few characters shorter... -- TonicBH 12:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of 16:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC), compares against the six good article criteria:

Just wanted to double-check--has it been definitely confirmed that Les Moonves is the reason why GSN does not air reruns of TPiR? SamJ93 19:20, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
I read the article, and it said that 1970s version of Concentration played some music cues that were also played in The Price is Right. Ones I heard were played in Concentration were (what fans called it) "Splendido" (usually used for furniture showcases) and "Starcrossed" (played for some prizes and showcases). Does anyone know which show played these music cues first? Was either TPIR or "Concentration" first to play them? -- Gh87 07:39, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
I know that the 1976 theme of Family Feud was heard as the car cue in TPIR from 1976 to 1980s. Does anyone know which show play the theme first? -- Gh87 22:43, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, Bob Barker is retiring from the Price is Right, and some celebs are trying out to be the host for the Price is Right. But there's one little question.
"Is the set going to be rennovated?".
Rumors think that when the new host for the price is right comes in, the set shall be revamped. Others say, keep the current set. Here's what i think if, the price is right got a new set when the new host was chosen.
What do you think? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BlairsvilleHighSchool ( talk • contribs) 01:11, 23 January 2007 (UTC).
After Review, CBS requested, "don't change the set or the show".
CBS forbade stations from running (Tom Kennedy's version) before 6 p.m
I'm almost positive WTHI in Terre Haute aired it at 5. Lambertman 16:54, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, the 35th season looks like its coming to an end. According to http://www.cbs.com/daytime/price/tickets/revised_airdates.shtml , the last scheduled airdate (currently) is March 2nd. Is this the last episode? I'd imagine they'd do something special for the final Bob Barker episode (and the end of a legacy, arguable), and I need to tape it. But the article on Bob Barker says he'll be retiring June 2007. Does anyone know anything about the last episode? PolarisSLBM 16:12, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
I think it's more then worth mentioning somewhere about the show's healing powers as explained by Dane Cook. At the very least it should be mentioned somewhere that most people who watch the show are watching it when they stay home because of a small illness. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.85.170.136 ( talk) 23:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC).
There are currently 14 images, none of which have fair-use rationale for being used in this particular article. This is a major obstacle in the way of promoting this to GA status. Please review all images and remove the ones that don't apply. — Twigboy 18:26, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
