Talk:The Price Is Right/Archive 2

message: This seems a bit hard to understand:
If both contestants go over, nobody wins the Showcase. If the winner is within $250 of (or prior to Season 27 (September 1998), less than $100 away from) the price of his/her own showcase, he wins both showcases. If the two contestants are exactly the same distance from the actual prices (in other words, if there is a tie), each wins his/her own showcase; this has happened exactly once in the show's history. If there is a tie where the difference is within $250, both contestants win both showcases; this has never happened.
Does this mean you can go over to $250? J. M. 15:58, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I've got a question about the pricing game section... one of the external links (GScentral) has a lot of the starting dates for pricing games... where exactly would I put those?  Also, should the pricing games section be divided into retired and currently played games?  It's already unwieldy as is, and there's a lot of them missing (a bunch of retired ones, really).

replies: text: GoldenRoad.net's FAQ  has a more accurate list of when each game premiered. As for the pricing games, I'd wait until the active games are completed before adding any more retired ones. Right now the only active games that don't have descriptions are: Master Key, On the Spot, Poker Game, Secret "X", Side by Side, Step Up, Swap Meet, Switch?, Time is Money, and 2 For the Price of 1. But with 70+ games in the rotation and almost 100 games having been played in the history of the show, I realize that this section is getting long. Iowahwyman 01:12, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I'll get cracking on those tomorrow. I guess adding just a temporary list of which games are retired and which aren't wouldn't be a bad place to start on dividing them, would it? Mo0 09:40, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: I thought for the purposes of English capitalization, "Is" was a major word.   Shouldn't all words in the article's (and game show's) title be capitalized?   - PhilipR 13:04, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point, in fact the official CBS website  currently capitalizes "Is."  Perhaps people have historically based the lowercase "is" on the the logo.  I vote for capital "Is."  Plinko 18:38, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Is should be capitalized, since it is a verb and not an article or preposition, with those two not being capitalized. See Talk:My Name Is Earl. It's the same deal for that show and its article. --   16:21, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Update: The official website no longer capitalizes "is". RadioKirk 18:47, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't we have two separate articles, one for the Cullen Version and one for the Barker Version? We should say (1956 show) and (1972 show) for the different articles. Also, they should both link to the separate article somewhere in each of them. Wikider 01:43, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

message: When ITV celebrated its 50th birthday not too long ago it revisited some of its earlier games shows, including Bruce's Price is Right. I wasn't sure where to add this information. Also, it was hosted by Ant and Dec. Zooba 20:18, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
