The Price Is Right Is The Greatest Television Program Ever

-bright lights
-flashing colors
-loud sounds
-big money(?)
-Plinko
-pretty ladies
-Bob Barker, best gameshow host ever
-when people can't spin that wheel all the way around
-that Yodeling mountain-climber game
-the fact that I just saw a clearly, clearly drunk/wasted frat-boy contestant win a cookware set

No game makes me root against a contestant more than that Yodeling mountain-climber game. Watching the climber fall off the mountain to the goofy "ya-da-hoo-deee-ohhh" song is schadenfreude at its best.

You also forgot to mention that little old ladies get booed when they can't spin the wheel all the way around. Mwooohahaha.

Still, it's not quite Press Your Luck.

But why pick one when you can have both? And others? And Leslie Nielsen? All at once?

I always preferred the version from Communist Russia, "The Price Is Fixed". I think it only lasted three seasons.
