- In this list, I take a look at a selection of less-than-stellar Price is Right pricing games. Some of these games may in fact have been fun to watch according to individual viewers, but every one of them failed for one reason or another. For entertainment only.

I knew the original Bullseye would be on here. I was just watching an old TPIR episode where it was first played, and it was brutal. It's basically The Clock Game if you only had exactly seven guesses to win an item, and no time clock. There was no realistic way you could win a car that way, even at early 1970s prices.
I think that add em up would have worked for a different show but it did not fit into TPIR
Honorable mentions: It's Optional (a classic) and more recent pricing games like Clearance Sale and Step Up.
He’s mentioning games that were short lived. Those lasted longer
I remember It's Optional. It reminds me of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor......."
6:13 It also wasn't fair because there was no showcase showdown. They determined who got into the showcase but how much amount of prizes you won. So you win that game your in the showcase.
* you're = you are
I just had a thought: Professor Price reminds me of Gene Shalit of The Today Show.
Or a Johnny Olsen rip off.
Bullseye the pricing game is still played today!! I saw the game a couple of Days ago!! The person won the game!!🎉😊
Today's version of Bullseye is a different games from the ones on this list.
The first Bullseye is basically The Clock Game with just seven bids and no clock. Double Bullseye is like the Showcase Showdown, or like Bill Cullen's The Price is Right.
You forgot one--IT'S OPTIONAL. I remember watching this one a few times and Bob Barker's explanation of the rules made that game so convoluted and a bit difficult to enjoy.
Before Triple Play, this was a very exciting game. I call BS.
Didn't forget it. It was on the air for a good five years so it didn't qualify for this list.
I've seen old episodes with It's Optional, it's actually pretty interesting to see what was once considered optional in a car, like AM/FM radio, air conditioning, and power steering. I was many years away from driving when it aired, so I wouldn't really know what cars had to offer compared to today. The idea of air conditioning being optional is mind blowing.
It’s Optional wasn’t bad. I’m guessing they ditched it because it gave away 2 cars.
@@friedchickenicedteaIDK. Triple play for 3 cars?! I think that is a bit ridiculous.
Professor Price could have worked if the questions weren't general knowledge questions. For example, they pick any spot to reveal a number, then they are shown a prize with 2 prices, they try to guess the correct price. If right, then they have to decide which number from that price goes to the car. If they pick the right number and the right spot the price goes in.
I still think Mystery Price was good.
Mystery Price was way ahead of its time and should have had a chance to resurface on Dennis James' nighttime version. Sadly, it never had that chance, retired before it ever happened.
I have to say, the fact that only one of these games debuted during the Sandler era speaks to the quality of the people around him.
Add em up might have worked if they didn't insist it be for a car.
Mystery Price I've always thought could be re-tooled. Instead of the goal being the amount of a prize, why not make it an announced amount? And use bids for prizes you'd see on Most Expensive or other multi-prize games, and have it played for both the prizes and the cash earned in the bank if you cover the top amount. It'd be one of the rare Cash-MPGs since one of my other favorite failed games, Fortune Hunter.
I think shower game could have worked if it had different rules, 1 stall had the car, 1 stall had money, 2 stalls had confetti, & 1 stall had water. If you picked the stall that had water, the game was automatically over. If you picked a stall that had confetti, the game continued if you won more than 1 stall. If you picked the stall that had the car or money, the game ended. You could win 4 stalls and 4 small prizes.
I liked Add em up and Bullseye!
This feels like it's a reupload from an older video.
It's an updated older video with better video and sound quality, I'm probably going to be doing several of these in coming weeks.
I never liked Fortune Hunter, even though it wasn’t mentioned on your list.
Funny enough, this was originally a Top 20, and Fortune Hunter was number 16.
@@msxvideo What were numbers 17, 18, 19, and 20?
@@msxvideoI loved Fortune Hunter, but I think it kinda morphed into Half Off.
I liked Add em up cuz i liked math
I liked on the nose cuz i love sports
Balance game & Walk of fame was ok but didn't last long
Telephone game could be retooled with today's smart phones
What about Blank Check, or the Check Game? That one was really difficult to explain to many contestants, mainly because they couldn’t understand that they had to think of how much the price of the prize was, then add an amount to that price they’re thinking of so it totaled say, $5,000, then write out the check for the added amount. Many contestants were confused by that, and who writes checks anymore?
Might not be a great game, but I wouldn't consider it a failure. It has been around for 40 years. The games on this list were very short lived.
Yeah, but that one's still in use. Scapino was only detailing those that are prematurely retired.
Should retire Easy As 1-2-3 (I called it “Difficult As 1-2-3”). It has been at least 20 playings of record of losses, and it is winless during the previous season. They should also retire Danger Price, and Take Two, which are awful for prizes that is other then playing for a car.
I liked Danger Price in my option.
I understood there were also concerns from the Jewish community about Shower Game reminding them of the holocaust. Was that true or not?
Gallery Game retired Penny Ante in 1990. In turn, Penny Ante retired Gallery Game in 1991.
Gallery Game was promoted as 1 of many pricing games to premiere in season 19 (spoilers it was the ONLY pricing game to premiere in season 19 😆).
@@machoman1016Also premiered on Season 19 was the large green The Price Is Right price tag with different font styling than the original TPIR logo, a different price down symbol that could never replace the original as well as a shoelace style tie on the left side where the hole used to be. This would last longer than all of its TPIR giant price tag stylings before or since.
I thought Gallery Game was a bit interesting. They should of kept it going.
You have to commend the producers of the show for trying new things at least.
On the spot sucks.
I agree. It belongs on Nickelodeon's GUTS.
Yeah, it does. I liked Hole In One (Or Two) better.
