This is very old....
could be the reason for my sense of dejz-vu then huh
Nice signature...TALK NERDY TO ME!!! 
lol
What a stupid, whiny bitch. Getting all upset because she didn't win a car, where she didn't have to pay anything to enter, and she didn't lose anything in the process. The only way she could possibly win anything in court is if there was anything in writing that said "Toyota" and not "toy Yoda."
It reminds me of the old radio "contest" (I think it was Bob and Tom) where this guy called up and won "a 100 grand" and it turned out to be a 100 Grand candy bar. Boy, was he pissed off.
yea it was them i remeber that shit. it was so funny.
the guy just snapped started screaming heheh
Rather stupid that the girl is taking it this far. Most people would just take this in stride, have a few laughs, and get on with their life.
But no, since this woman knows she can sue the company and get publicity, she's decided to sue Hooters and get a car from it...
Geez, you have a better chance of getting a car on the Price is Right than from this damn lawsuit.
"froguana! Come on down!!! You're the next contestant on ... the Price is Right!" ::grin::

DUDE!!!
Plinko is my all-time favorite game on that show!
They should the price is right in primetime... more often they they currently are... Heck, what happened to the new lets make a deal????
Like other remakes of old, popular gameshows, it sucked and it died.
Right on, bro!
Plinko rocks. The noise the disc makes as it hits the pegs is hypnotic!
Forecast, they've tried doing TPiR in primetime twice already, once as a straight transfer of the daytime show (which lasted a few years, hosted by a different host, can't remember the name) and one that totally fucked over the format, but looked helluva cool (that one lasted a year.) I think judging by the fact that primetime ratings for TPiR are doing well, they should try it again... it's been a while.
Forecast, the New Let's Make a Deal went the way of the new Match Game a few years back... it sucked hard and left quick.

I'd either like to play Plinko or some form of car game... preferrably 3 Strikes (cuz it has the best cars on it) or Triple Play (cuz you can win 3 cars!)
I have a friend that made it all the way to the showcase showdown. Which he lost badly. The tape of the show is hilarious for us to watch now. It is from the 80's and he was whering these god-awful tight yellow shorts.
sigh.. i liked the costume, but I too must admit that it did suck.. but what else was good on at the time? lol
How did he lose badly?
And 80's TPiR are a great time capsule, IMHO... they show the styles of the times quite well.
they have...the million dollar price of right is primetime
Yes, but newfie, the million dollar specials are just that... specials.
There have been two series done (see my other reply) which have both failed... judging by the more friendly market for primetime gameshows, it might do better if they tried it again...
The main problem is that neither of them had Bob Barker as the host. I think people associate Bob Barker with Price is Right so vehemently that they refuse to accept anyone else hosting...
That and I think the magic wears off a little bit if you won something on Price is Right from a different host, eh?
He was WAAAAAY under his showcase and the other person was almost right on. He did however win some big money on the wheel. I think he got $1.00 and then $1.00 again. He almost ripped the freaking wheel of its mounts though. (He was a lineman for Army). That thing spun and spun and spun.

Heh, awesome. At least he won money on the big wheel, that's the hardest thing to win on, in my opinion.
Oh, and he probably didn't underbid as bad as the guy who bid $1 on their showcase... believe it or not, they won, because the other guy went over... you hardly EVER see that logic used outside of contestant's row.
the million dollar price of right i seen had bob has host ??
A few weeks ago I was watching the show on my break at work, and this one guy came up for the contestant's row and his bid was something "2547" or something. Bob asked him how he came up with that bid, and the guy goes "I saw this on here last week, and that was the exact retail value." He was right. The guy then went on to play the "Buy and Sell" game, and cleaned up on it. I don't know if he made it to the showcase showdown or not, because I had to go back to work.
I had never seen anything quite like that before. It was rather amusing.
its actually very good logic..but only if you're the second bidder..imagine if the first bidder bid a dollar...so the second one bid $2 lol
No, newfie, the million dollar price is right specials were made this year, but they were "special" episodes with budgets and prizes WAY beyond the normal range.
The series with bob not as host in primetime were regular shows with regular budgets and regular prizes.
sauron, i've actually seen the story of that guy on price is right sites (i'm sad, i surf those sites for fun) and the guy, i believe, made it to the showcase showdown and won there too. Don't quote me on that, though.
How does this work? If you win a car, do you have to pay the taxes or what? I always wondered that...
Three cars? That would be seriously great.
Do you remember the old days when someone would get the EXACT price during the initial game to get on stage - then have to pull a hundred dollar bill out of Bob's pocket? That was sooooo creepy.
Usually only the last person will bid a dollar and only if they think everyone else overbid.
Pardus,
You sir are not a price is right watcher! There is NO $1 on the big wheel... DUH. :)

no i'm talking about the final showcase
Which is why it's kinda scary that he did that, because it's much harder to tell if someone overbid on a showcase than it is on a contestant's row item.
Mantis... either you're being REALLY sarcastic or YOU don't watch price is right.
All the amounts on the wheel are $1.00 or less. If you get $1.00 in one spin or a combination of 2, you get $1,000 and a bonus spin...
On the bonus spin, if you land on the green sections next to the $1.00, you get $5,000 more, and if you land on the $1.00, you get $10,000 more (except on the $1,000,000 specials, where that prize was upped to $1,000,000).
Have you ever seen someone get hit in the head with the big wheel? That looks painful.
Isn't the whole purpose of the thing is to get as close to a dollar without going over? I was pretty damn sure it was a big red 100 surrounded by a green 5 and a green 15.
DOH!!!!
I forgot about the RED $1. Sorry pardus... Im not nuts... a little drunk maybe but not nuts.. hehe
Damn this thread is hopping you can't even post a response without six other people doing it before you
yup and im going to add mine now and see how many are there by the time in done . there was 44 when i started writing.
To get back to the original topic, the "toy Yoda" thing is TWO YEARS OLD. Check the date on the top left of the page with the story on it.
Hey, nice catch. Now I wonder how the hell someone found that buried in the archives of the news page...
thanks Bob...lol way to get the link back on track...and i knew it was old...but couldn't place it
What did that come from? I know the actor....
i know its the teacher from animal house that smokes weed. i think his last name is Sutterland or something.
I love that pic...
His face. :D
Donald Sutherland playing Prof. Dave Jennings
Yes, it was Donald Sutherland but it wasn't in Animal Jouse. This pic was from the 1978 sci-fi thriller "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" where people were being replaced by alien clones with no emotions. Sutherland was on to the scheme and tried to stop it. In the end he turned into one as well. This pic is from the last scene where his girlfriend is re-united with him and he makes this weird "arrrggghhh" sound and points her out, soon to be transformed as well.
Kids. 
I was going by the hair. It is the same time frame so it makes sense the hiar is pretty simliar.
so what.. who doesn't love the price is right ::grin::
Exactly. Those are my thoughts exactly.
*hands forecast a cookie*
newfie
hmmms why do i call foul? I swear I have heard/read something like this before...
