Title: Where is Take Two?
Post by: JayC on November 03, 2003, 05:45:15 PM

What has happened to Take Two?  Is it retired?  Is it broken?  Or is it just unloved?  It's blatenly obvious Race Game was a replacement for it today, because it is playing #3 for it and its #2 playing was just a short time ago.  They could have atleast played Step Up, to make it seem like not such a replacement.

So, where is Take Two?  Let's hope it's not in Pricing Game heaven.

I don't think it's retired as I asked if there were any recently retired games, and the answer was no.

However things do change and it is possible, but I wouldn't bet on it. It's a fairly easy game, so I see no reason for them to get rid of it.

My guess is you will see it eventually.

 I'd rather it be there.  Not my favorite game.

 Yeah, it's not exactly the coolest game, but it's fun to see it pop up.

First, it's not blatantly obvious that Take Two was replaced today. Games' repeat playings are not spaced apart at perfectly even intervals. And why would they need to replace it on short notice, anyway? If they can't fix that prize value display (the only part of the game that could break down), something is seriously wrong.

Second, I like Take Two, simply because it's one of the few games that rewards the lost-but-observant. If you're trying to total $2874, and your first two picks are worth $1000 and $1975, you ought to keep the latter, as $899 is a much more likely price to find than $1784.

Breathe in, now slowly breathe out... Relax... feel you body go limp and loose... with each breath you breathe in relaxation... each time you exhale more and more tension leaves your body... you are becomming very calm... very relaxed...

Take Two is alive and well. It will be played next week.

What about the episodes of Don McNeill's "Take Two," the ABC game show from 1963?  What is the status of those shows?

I'd be happy with more episodes of "It Takes Two" with Vin Scully.

Let's just say that Take Two has more of a future on TPIR than its creator, Marc Breslow.

 Bob Barker took a swing at it with a golf club, out of frustration, and as a result, the game now has a new title.... Take THAT! :-)

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

 Hope that will quell is retired talk.  Remember that there are some 70 active pricing games in the rotation and some come up more often then others.
