How do you tour a known quantity of a show for a month and kill it after a week, especially in a digital subchannel environment where I imagine the pressure to deliver immediate ratings is far, far lower?

I mean, I get that Wordplay got ditched after three airings because someone made an assumption on rights that they absolutely should not have. But CNG has now come and gone in short order twice, seemingly on merit. Why even bring it back?

Being born in '81, my earliest TPIR memory is Bob's hair turning gray and my grandmother making a big deal out of it.  I slightly remember the '86 primetime specials.  That being said, I connect more with the late 80's reruns.  Rod and Gray Bob was my era, and I think sometimes we get spoiled by all the theme weeks and special episodes not just TPIR but also WOF, LMAD, and others put on.  I remember being just dandy with the 25th anniversary special, the Las Vegas remote one-off, the 5000th episode, $1M spectaculars, etc.  I never thought Price got stale. In fact, I think they tried to keep things fresh with what they had, and it didn't always work out (hello Hollywood mural turntable), but it was OK.  Price was always comfort food TV.

Huh. They must have walked it back. The promo I saw (on the Game Show Flashback group) stated Monday.

I’ve plotted with Jeremy Nelson
I've talked about it with Jeremy and Travis

I knew my ears were burning for a reason....

More to come, but yes, there will likely be a game show element/activation/feature at the event. 24 hours straight is likely off the table, though we're targeting a full "business hours" experience. As a man pushing 40, I enjoy sleep and not having to refer to myself as "ripe".

Obviously if you'd like to come out, we'd love to have you! But I'd find some other to-dos to round out your trip as to make it as full an experience as possible, especially looking at the price tag of the event.

The Gas Money logo lit up from the very beginning. And in the most recent playing of the game, the logo looked the same as the one in the auction.

Perhaps a second one was made for backup purposes? Or maybe they did replace the original logo with an identical-looking one for some reason, I don't know.

Did they retire Gas Money, or replace the sign for some reason?

When the game was first played, there was no display for the cash, so I'm wondering if that sign is from the first build. Then when they decided to add the display, maybe they thought "Hey, as long as we're wiring this thing, let's make the logo light up,.too."

If anyone has a spare 5k lying around, you can own a piece of history!

This seems like another one of those things that could be built from scratch for a whole lot less than $5K.
