Come On Down! Dr. Michael Bummer From Pittsburgh, OB-GYN

TresSugar — Wed, 06 May 2009 13:00:00 -0700

I don't know what's hardest to believe: that The Price Is Right is still on; that it looks exactly like it did in the '80s; or that Dr. Michael Bummer (bummer!) is actually a gynecologist. Dr. Bummer, of course, bids $69 instead of $1 after everyone overbids. No, come to think of it, I know exactly what I don't believe.

The Price Is Wrong . . . and Wrong Again!

You know there's a problem with your bid when Bob Barker pretends to mishear your answer in hope that you will quickly correct yourself. And you really know there's a problem when Bob Barker acknowledges your answer, advises you to "think about that for a moment," and gives you yet another opportunity to change your bid. Oh Bob, there's just no hope for the numerically challenged . . .

The Price Is Right Psych-Out

GiggleSugar — Mon, 05 May 2008 15:30:00 -0700

Someone didn't study The Price Is Right strategy book before appearing on the show. When it came time to participate in the price war, she failed to maximize her bid, and - omigod - she won! She won! She what? Jumped the gun! False alarm everyone. But the game's just begun . . .

Bob Barker, Wherefore Art Thou?

Come Back! I happened to stumble across this old Price Is Right vid and couldn't help but get nostalgic. This clip demonstrates why I desperately want good ol' Bob to find his long ass microphone and return to the show. He was not only a fair and understanding game show host, Bob had the prudence to grab a douche by the arm and push him offstage if need be. And then, out of the kindness of his heart (or maybe to fend off a law suit), Bob gave the douche a prize anyway. Love him!

The Price Is Right, Eh?

GiggleSugar — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 03:00:00 -0800

I guess that price is your dignity, because these folks are literally tripping all over themselves to win a few bucks. (One guy does it three times in one episode!) Chill the freak out, people.

Three Falls Lead to Another

Is it possible for there to be four falls during a single episode of The Price Is Right? If one self-deprecating dude stages a few for applause then you never know - another contestant just might join in on the fun. Well, it's not really fun when the fall is truly accidental, but at least this lady takes the spotlight off of Mr. Sunshine, the attention whore.

The Price Is Drew Carey's Dignity

Oh Bob Barker, why did you have to retire and leave us with Drew Carey and his off-color jokes about situations we would never in a million showcase showdowns want to imagine him in? The contestants on The Price Is Right are allowed to be obnoxious, not the host! Note to Drew: Keep the wet dreams between you and your blankie.

The Dorkiest Victory Dance Ever

GiggleSugar — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 07:00:00 -0800

If only every contestant who won it big on The Price Is Right could be this entertaining. Even though he looks 14-ish, Josh here won himself a brand new car. After promptly marking his territory by ~~humping~~ "hugging" the car, he runs over to Bob to give him a happy "hug" too. And then, Josh does the Air Jordan of all victory dances...

The Price Is Right: Equal Opportunity Alien Employer

GiggleSugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 12:25:46 -0700

The Price Is Right is a sinking ship. I wonder how Bob Barker feels about this ridiculous showcase showdown storyline involving an overweight alien? If "E.L.T." really wanted to lose weight, she could just phone ~~home~~ Jenny. Ha.

I Gotta Go Potty on "The Price Is Right"

GiggleSugar — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 10:00:00 -0700

Here's a clip from Drew Carey's debut season on "The Price Is Right," and let's just say he's no Bob Barker. The following contestant, however, could entertain for hours. She cries that she needs to go to the bathroom, she grabs her crotch, she hoots and howls. Daytime TV is clearly making strides.
