During the Chargers/Redskins game this morning on CBS, a claymation (or animated, it went by so fast I didn't catch the majority of it) commercial aired with a claymation Jeff Probst, Terry Bradshaw, and others hyping the "newly remastered in HD" Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer on CBS. During all of this some elves were pulling the Price is Right Big Wheel around.
I, for one, was glad to see the acknowledgement of TPIR.
-
This is the follow-up to the spot CBS did last year in honor of Rudolph's 40th Anniversary on TV, using their own version of Rankin-Bass' "Animagic". The spot made its debut during the first hour of Thursday's parade coverage. Ths time the setting is a soundstage at good ol' Television City.
Look for the Big Wheel in the scene after the Animagic Probst appears. One elf is pulling the wheel while another one is running atop it. Nice touch. One wonders how Barker or the Beauties would look.
BTW: Terry Bradshaw isn't in the spot - he's with Fox. Jim Nantz made the cut, though, in place of Phil Simms - and so did Letterman. "Hello, doggie!"

You're right about Bradshaw. I should have realized that when I made the post! ;) I was switching back and forth between the CBS and FOX games.

Wasn't Greg Gumbel in last year's version in lieu of Nantz?

Yes. Since the first spot was storyboarded, CBS switched its top NFL guys, putting Gumbel in charge of The NFL Today and Nantz on the "A" team with Phil Simms.
-
Which was an improvement...slightly. Gumbel's a better studio host, but Nantz is a lesser play by play man. One day, some network will truly appreciate the talents of Kevin Harlan and make him the flatout lead announcer for network coverage of (insert sport here).

I believe the lead position of NBC is still looking for their new NFL play-by-player for next year. Still, I think Tom Hammond may get that job. Incidentally, am I the only NFL fan who can't tell the difference between Kevin Harlan and Kenny Albert?

Nope. I remember the first time I heard Harlan (I think it was on Fox NHL Sunday), I coulda sworn he was one of the Albert brothers. (Is Kenny a brother or a nephew?)

Kenny is Marv's son, and Steve and Al's nephew.
And thankfully, I opted not to listen to him and Baldinger butcher the Bears/Bucs game--opting for radio instead (although a thousand poxes on Fox for giving us Green Bay/Philly instead of NY Giants/Seattle as the late game--dishes are not an option for me; at least I did see most of the overtime).

I fear you're right (not that I hate Hammond--he's just too vanilla for me). And NBC doesn't have that real signature play-by-play voice right now (Costas apparently doesn't want the play-by-play gig). I wouldn't mind seeing Kevin Harlan get the gig if CBS is willing to let him go, although I'm still thinking that you can't rule out Marv returning to NBC (right now, his only TV gigs are with TNT and YES [how fitting], plus doing Westwood One NFL radio games).

He just came back from Hawaii, working Maui Invitational hoops (including that classic MSU/Gonzaga triple OT game--sorry, Matt O., but I'll get mine when Duke hammers Indiana). I don't think he's complaining too much (of course, ESPN/ESPN2 games for the most part aren't regional).

Also saw another little funny TPIR reference tonight on Family Guy. In this episode, Peter(?) is watching TPIR and an IFUB is happening. Man in spot #3 bids $780. Woman in #4 asks what he bidded, and Bob repeats it. She bids $781. Guy proceeds to say F@#$ You. Gold.
I didn't catch the credits, but does Bob actually provide voice overs or do they glean the audio from a show?

I forgot to check the credits on this one, but Bob did provide a voiceover for an earlier TPiR reference on FG (the one where Peter was on Survivor and crashed through what turned out to be a fake wilderness backdrop, revealing the set of TPiR).

IFUB = I Freaked Out Badly. I think you mean "a One-Bid is happening."
To set everyone straight since it's misued so much, 'IUFB' refers ONLY to the actual physical item being bid upon. It does not refer to the bidding or the round of bidding, Period.

Um, says who? You do realize that whatever terminology you use in the GR recaps is by no stretch "official", right?
-
The "official" term, just to set the record straight, and this has been used on the show, is the "one bid", and it's referred to this way on staging sheets as well. We all know why it would be called that, so I'll spare everyone the minutae. :)
-
For what its worth, the Family Guy credits did say it was Barker. And it sure sounded like him. (Or course, it could have been a voice-over actually taken from a show)

The audio quality of Barker's voice would certainly seem to indicate that it was ripped from the show. The contestants were Family Guy voice-over actors, though.

What I notice is that someone mentioned that the term "one-bid" is used on staging sheets, with no suggestion that there is any differentiation made between the announcing of the one-bid item and the bidding process, as you have implied.

Wait a sec. Back to your corners.
Chris, I can kind of see where you're going with this, but Joe is right. The IUFB is the actual item, regardless of whether any staging sheet notes it or not. I mean they've done this for how long? They likely have a set term for things like this. "One Bid" would cover the IUFB as well.

I'm not saying your wrong.
I AM saying that spouting off as if he just got off the set at 33 makes him look like an ass unless he has a source for the knowledge.
(I'm also saying: my god. Who CARES?)
-
Looking at a staging sheet now shows an example from May of 2003:
One Bid:A
1. Fun Cart
There is no other mention.
Take that for what you will for those who care.

1. How does "IFUB" stand for "I freaked out badly?" I've never heard of "U" standing for "out" before. I even Googled it and I see no substantiation for what you claim.
2. By using the above assumption (that you haven't the foggiest clue of what you speak), my reponse is "Sez you, Mr. Know-It-All." Keep your corrections to yourself. Or at least don't direct them toward me.

OK, this is where I draw the line, sir.
I don't appreciate being called an ass - or a ninny. I am neither, and you know it.
The comment I made earlier was in response to something which is constantly misused to mean something else, and I had a legitimate point. Despite the use of "Period" at the end of my initial statement, I never intended it to represent that am more authoritative about the inner workings of Price than anyone else here, including you. And, as others have confirmed, my point was valid.
Most of the time I take your postings as what they are, sarcastic. But the need to call me or anyone else names goes way over the line. Give it some thought before you respond again. I'll leave it at that.
(Lot of good this will do, but I have to defend myself)

Then it's a good thing I didn't do it. I said your hubris is making you look like the former, and makes me think of you as the latter. Subtle difference, but a difference nonetheless.

Quite the opposite, as this (http://\"http://gameshow.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=9370&view=findpost&p=103352\") post shows.

Not sure how that plays out in the scheme of this thread, however! ;-)
