01/18/2005: Babes in ToyFare.

Haven’t mentioned this before, but you can catch some of my words at your nearest newsstand, assuming they carry ToyFare Magazine. I was contacted to help out on a small bit for their “Best Ever” feature (covering the best of the best in all walks of toydom), but it kind of snowballed into three bits. If you grab issue #91, my contributions to the Best Ever feature were “Best Commercial,” “Best Carrying Cases” and “Worst Toys.” This looks like it might be a semi-recurring gig, which is just so awesome for someone like me who came from the trenches, so to speak. Lots of fun, I’ll keep you posted. Also working on some kickass spots on Nick. I need to launch a “real life” section of the site. But then it’d be full of diaries about how I shouldn’t have eaten three Fruit By The Foot rolls before bed. Anyway, yeah, back with a new article this weekend, and it’s a good one for sure.

Adding A Survey Thing: Which Price is Right game tickles your fancy most? I’ve always been partial to Plinko, but hearing the old man shout “OR TWO!” during the putt off packs its own kind of punch.

What I like about Punchboard is hw Bob would get ready to open the slip of paper to read whatever big money amount was on there, then ask the contestant things like how many kids they have, or if they’ve been enjoying L.A. so far. On a good day, he gets the whole studio screaming.

What is it with Plinko? That’s my favorite too. For me, though, I think part of it has to do with the stairs. Any game that involves multiple stories has to be cool. I’ve also been fond of the one with the huge checkbook. I know that’s one of the lamest games to like, but something about that mammoth checkbook mesmerizes me.

The Blank Check game is great, because it is very simple, and people somehow need it explained several times to understand it. Maybe they were expecting Switcheroo or Hole in One (or Two!) and blank out on writing checks. I know I would, but my math skills suck.

Hi all!

Been reading for a while, but this is my first post. Favorite Pricing games.. Definitely Plinko and Punch A Bunch! :D

I like Plinko. However, I also have a fondness for the game where the contestant has to ask "Ladies, do I have one number right?" and then one of the Beauties honks the horn if they did.

Fast Framin Tessa…Nick DID bring it back…as Double Dare 2000 in 2000. The problem was that it sucked so very much, killing any chance for another resurrection. Maybe because Marc Summers didn’t host it?

Oh, and my favorite game is/was/will always be Plinko!

I concur with the general love for Plinko and Yodeler Guy. However, when Double Dare was mentioned it gave me a flashback to sitting around the lunch table in 4th grade and disputing whether or not we would try to finish the obstacle course or just sit there eating the junk. I would personally pass up a pair of British Knights for a chance to slurp up the Sundae Slide. I would, however, pass on the Booger Nose. :)

I watched it when I was young so…anything wuth bright colours and flashing lights…which makes it all of those games. That beehive one had me screaming out prices though.
