Since when was there a Price is Right 2?
It filled in two weeks between Guiding Light and Let’s Make A Deal. I have no idea why they would issue this press release.
Gotcha, thanks
I was under the impression that TPIR2 is the 11:30 – 12:00 (or second half hour) of the show, while TPIR1 is the first half.
I didn’t know there was a Price is Right 2, I’ll have to look for it!
No, in Nielsen terms, Price is Right 1 and 2 refer to the half-hours. It’s been like that for decades, dating back to the time when an hour-long game show was completely bizarre.
…As said Anonymous whilst I was typing.
I hate press releases so much.
Glad to see Drew Carey doing well as host of TPIR.
Bob Barker might be the legend but Carey really put some new energy into the old stable.
Personal I like Drew much better than Barker
“GD I Hate that Bob Barker.” I had to throw that in
@J.R. Herbaugh – These ratings have nothing to do with the double Price is Right days before LMaD premiered – they’re for the week of October 16th. LMaD premiered on the 5th.
TPIR is cooking this season. The new set is wicked cool, and Drew has finally grown into his own as the host of TPIR.
I find it interesting that their ratings go up by 20-25 percent in the second half-hour. Has the difference always been that profound?
Yes. TPIR2 has always been the big ratings winner. Probably combo of time and showcase showdown. That and Y&R have drivers of CBS Daytime.
maybe people are like my mom. She watches the ‘Hot Topics’ segment on ‘The View’ and then when that is over flips it over to the second half of TPiR
Oh I was beginning to thing The Price is Right 2 was going to be the producers way of trying out a new host so they can get rid of Drew Cary quietly and without question.
So sad that, that many people watch crap like this.
The Price is Right is NOT crap. Reality shows are crap.
now you all leave my bob alone…lol
i still have not warmed up to drew, but i was a big, big bob barker fan…he seemed part of the family…the nice part of my family, not the psycotic part
I loved the Bob Barker show- went to a taping on my honeymoon and named my dog barker… but the new set is cool and drew is def getting better!
