Here's what I know. These are basically, as many expected, mini-pilots. If you guys email, call, and write CBS and Fremantle enough, these will come back.

Just like they listened to the vox populi with regard to the Price job, right?

How do we know that the millions of Price fans wanted Randy? I know these boards did, but we can't speak for everyone else unless we have concrete proof. A board of a few hundred game show fans doesn't speak for the entire viewing population of Price.

Oh good lord. Have you really turned into this much of a shill?

Thanks Chris for the download.... good stuff.

Now, it all looks great, but i'm curious....the Price clips looked a helluva lot like the current studio, current set. Was that a pilot/demo/runthrough? Or will they be shooting that episode on the current stage?

To me, one of the charms of Antandec's UK Version was how the shows were lovingly reproduced on a stage designed for the marathon..... Meaning, you could tell that you were watching the marathon, and not an old rerun of that week's show.... Looking at the clips in the ad, I dont' get that feeling.

Based on what I know, everything is on "custom" sets. Now, whether they regurgitated the Price props for the one they do for GSM, I don't know. Certainly it would make some sense to. The Race Game price-holders look a LITTLE different than the ones they use on the show based on that one-quarter second glance we get in the spot, though, or they are placed differently, or something. It just doesn't look quite right. So I'm thinking it's a custom set with recycled props.

I was told everything was recreated except the wheel.

They taped an intro to either the series or just the Price episode about 2 weeks ago on the Price set.

They put black tile (ala Davidson) in front of door #1 and had Ricki do several takes. It was quite strange seeing the daytime set with a partial black floor. But it didn't look that bad. Against the turntable is a different story.

Well, yeah, it's pastel. What did you expect?

Actually, it was more the dark blue turntable carpet.

I could be wrong, but after looking at the clip, I swear that right before the shot of Ricki and the contestants at the Feud buzz in podium, they actually show a contestant from PYL's 1985 College Week, that was seen as part of intros to many episodes.

PYL fans out there, can anyone back me up or am I crazy

I can't back you up, but I also don't think you're crazy - that set appeared to be a little *too* authentic, on second thought.

IT SURE DOES LOOK GREAT!!

Is it just me, or am I not seeing any part of Card Sharks in the promotional video?

Unless said PYL contestant, Ruth, secretly became an overnite celebrity and the CBS make-up & wardrobe department somehow got her to look exactly like she did over 20 years ago, I'd say that may be one of the recycled openings they'll use to begin PYL Night on GSM.

I suspect the first test is to drink the Kool-Aid.

What flavor was it? I'm betting (hoping) Sharkleberry Punch. Helps in the lock-stepping.

I miss that flavor. Do they still make it?

Also, I thought it was called Sharkleberry Fin.

Crap. You're right. Do I get a mulligan on that?

And unfortunately, it seems that it has gone to the great Kool-Aid graveyard in the sky. Oh yeah!

I should proofread my jokes in the future.
