Teen Primetime TPiR?
« on: September 12, 2006, 11:54:41 PM »
I've thought of an idea. The Price Is Right can hold a primetime show saluting the teens of the U.S. Kids ages 12 through 17 go on and win prizes.

Prizes appropriate for the age group would be horrible. I mean, playing Pathfinder for an X-Box 360?!

Offer cars. What in the world is an MDS without a luxurious car being offered? I know you would all be asking. "What would a 14-year old girl do with a Winnebago, or a cabin cruiser, or a Corvette?" But all MDS's need these prizes for lovely ratings.

Offer trips to other locations. Age-appropriate places like Hawaii, Bermuda, Bahamas, Roseland Ranch and other kid-oriented places would be terrible. Offer trips to other places like Berlin, Tokyo, Rio De Janiero, London, Sydney or Paris.

Take a look at this.

Christopher, from Arizona, plays DOUBLE PRICES for a Playstation 3. (S)

$228
($285) WIN!
>$285< PICK

That would not impress audiences. So instead of a game console. We have this.

Christopher, from Arizona, plays DOUBLE PRICES for a Catalina 250 25' Wing Keel Sailboat. (L&S)

$26,828
($28,050) WIN!
>$28,050< PICK



Now you can all say how stupid this is.

I honestly don't think I can articulate it.

/would love to know where the Price folks found a $285 PS3, though

I think the word "controller" was left off the end of that prize name.

/and it'll probably break in 3 months.
The countdown to 100 ended awhile ago, why are you still here?

Yes, I DO wonder what a 14 year old would do with a Winnebago.
So...you want kids to play for adult prizes. Then what really makes the game any more watchable than if adults play? Now, the Australian version had a day where kids played...but with their grandparents.

Short and simple, I don't think the idea would work...especially the way you have it planned. Personally, I can only think of one other show which could have effectively pulled off a teen week...Classic Concentration.
Fact To Make You Feel Old: Just about every contestant who appears in a Price is Right Teen Week episode from here on out has only known a world where Drew Carey has been the host.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

I'm with the consensus on that.

It's pointless. Honestly and for truly pointless.

And I'm gonna raise the same question you asked...WHAT DOES A KID NEED WITH A CAR/WINNEBAGO/SAILBOAT? You try to justify your argument by saying, "well, an MDS needs this, so-" I'm gonna cut you off right there.

There's a difference between a Million Dollar Spectacular PIR and a teen version of PIR. One would draw viewers. One wouldn't draw flies. Take a guess which one?

If you're gonna submit an idea, submit one that makes sense and that won't get you laughed out of here.

What would teens know about any kind of pricing?  They would know about as much about prices of items as the average "Chain Reaction" contestant knows about words.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

You been watching "Airplane" again?

And all the contestants could run down to contestants row with their hands to their face and their mouth dropped.

Maybe not that much less than some of the adult contestants.  :-)

As long as they can play "Hit Me" properly, and not repeat answers in "Ten Chances".

This is true. But of course Airplane II's my favorite because of the Art Fleming cameo.
He who uttered the line I used above was named "Johnny" in the first Airplane film and "Jacobs" in the second. Fan of Chuck Barris perhaps? Or Jack Barry? Or Nick Nicholson? Or W.T. Naud? ????????

The Showcase podiums could be shaped like surfboards, a la Teen Choice Awards.

A teen version of TPIR would never work. The teens are just gonna bid "420" on everything.
