What games should be played on Bob Barker's last show
« on: November 21, 2006, 12:37:52 AM »
I was thinking of Bob Barker's farewell show next spring. I think it would be symbolic for his last pricing game to be any number since that was the game he started with. I also think that the other oldest games like grocery game should be played as well as the most popular ones like plinko and hole in one or two.

I agree that Any Number should definitely be played on the last show, but considering that they want to make Barker's last show very special, here's what I think should be played, in order...

First half
Golden Road
Plinko
Double Prices

Second Half
Triple Play
Grocery Game
Any Number

Ok, maybe the show would go bankrupt if both Golden Road AND Triple Play were on the same show and both games won, but notice that 2 of the pricing games are games that were played on the very first show.

I was actually hoping for somewhere along the lines of this list:

Golden Road
Punch A Bunch
Barker's Markers

Balance Game
Hole in One or Two
Barker's Bargain Bar

It actually makes a feasible lineup (except it would take a lot of time)

That was Dian's last show.

I'd go with

Golden Road, Triple Play, Lucky $even, Any Number, Grand game, Hole in One(or two), Master Key, and Check game.

Ok this is more or less than the Six played but some could be subbed.

I've thought that one of the newest games should be played, two of the oldest games should be played, and the other three be emensley popular. Here's what I had in mind:

-Golden Road
-Plinko
-Clock Game

-Double Prices (save time)
-Pocket Change, Stack the Deck, or Balance Game
-Any Number

In this case, Clock Game fits into both "one of the oldest" and "emensley popular" categories.

Five Price Tags
Clock Game
Grocery Game
Double Prices
Bonus Game
Any Number

The six oldest active games in reverse order...and amazingly, it times to 28 minutes, which is exactly how much time Roger allots for pricing games each day.

My first thought: who cares? And I don't mean that in a generally snarky way, but specifically that I've never understood caring so much about what games are played on special episodes, as long as the games don't stink up the place.

My second thought: Plinko is a virtual lock just for being the "big money" game everyone goes nuts over. Gotta play for a few expensive cars, too.

Here's my early picks(as always, subject to change):

Golden Road
Plinko
Double Prices
Comming or Going
Grocery Game
Any Number(just for old times sake, since it opened the very first show, naturally, it should be his last go at it in this slot)

I'm thinking they should bring back a retired game or two for Bob's last show, like Superball, Hit Me (just retired), Bump, or maybe Give or Keep. But if they ever sneak in Gallery Game, Split Decision, or Fortune Hunter at the last minute...

I think we can rule out less.

Guess you want to dispense with the Big Wheel, huh?
