The last aired of Magic Number was in the spring of 2021 in which the last contestant was a winner of this easy pricing game. That’s 😢. They did not played Magic Number yet during the 50th Anniversary of TPiR.
Upon returning, that ATM might have similarities to he current Showcase Podiums, Check Game, and Card Game: The ATM background might be blue or cyan to begin with and turn red if it's ruled a loss or green if it's ruled a win. Markers that pop up above the 2 most expensive prizes might return with the red word "NO" if the contestant loses. Upon winning, a contestant who wins Credit Card, would win the amount left on the Credit Limit in cash.
Get Credit Card back on The Price Is Right. Upon returning, the game's Credit Card might have Drew Carey's name and the official Price is Right logo at the front. The ATM background might be blue or cyan to start and turn red if it's ruled a loss or green if it's ruled a win. Let the contestant win the amount of cash left on the credit card if won.
And if it's red (a loss), I want to hear the foghorn (softer buzzer) that is used for quite a few games now (Dice Game, Check-Out, Grocery Game, Card Game).
That must be the best cue for the show. I missed the old cues that they used during the Bob Barker era. They shortened up the cue for about 5 seconds when it was used in the debut of “Plinko” in 1983 where the game was revealed, but it lasted for only once.
During the development of the original version of Price with Bill Cullen, the contestants would be given an imaginary bankroll similar to the Credit Limit where a contestant could no longer bid for the remainder of the show if his/her funds were exhausted, leading to an element of strategy regarding not to bid too much. The primitive displays to show a contestant's remaining bankroll turned out to be too much of a hassle, so the concept of a limit was dropped. Its ironic that this game's final playing was on a Halloween-themed show.
I remember “Credit Card” when it was during the Bob Barker era, but I missed it so badly. This is the final playing of “Credit Card” from the Drew Carey era.
I think this was right around the time the last lineups written by Roger D. before Fremantle told him to take early retirement aired(he wrote the first six weeks of season 36 before his early retirement)
Yeah One of the retirement game could mark the return, which was "Give Or Keep" "Producer Roger Dobkowitz had planned to bring the game back sometime during Season 38, but was fired from the show before he could do so."
I bet Credit Card was still been refurbished for 12 & 1/2 years, and for about 12 seasons of the price is right, it's still refurbishing, I don't even know when they'll bring back Credit Card back, I'd say Season 49 or 50, but I'm not sure about it. Edit: "Credit Card" game isn't at season 49, maybe Season 50 or so on will bring back Credit Card for sure.
No wonder this game was discontinued. It was too hard to win, for only picking the 3 least expensive items would win the game, giving one who doesn't know prices a (3/5) * (2/4) * (1/3) = 10% chance of winning.
It has nothing to do with the game being to hard. Nobody knows why games get retired. It's the Bag hasn't been won since 2015 yet they haven't retired that game. In order to make room for new games, they had to remove some. Yes, some games did go on hiatus and then made it back (Card Game, bargain game, Check game). This one didn't
Who said it had anything to do with it being hard? It isn't hard at all. A lot of games were retired due to difficulty or constant technical issues or because they were too long or boring.
The descriptions for the groceries was probably changed to speed up the show, where only those on product placement would be highlighted in detail. Anyways Credit Card is no longer on the games list on CBS's official website for TPIR. Guess it is gone for good. Yet another sad case along with empty promises from the producers.
I don't blame you at all, TPIR is just not as good as what it used to be, not since Bob Barker retired, and since Rich Fields left TPIR. Drew does the show his way and George Gray doesn't describe what the grocery items in detail now.
i saw nothing wrong with this pricing game and it was a favorite pricing game of mine.it should have come back but it never did.and it will not come back now and ever.that is a shame.
I think the retirement of this game was not only stupid, but IMO, an effort to dumb down TPiR to Drew's ability. I refuse to watch TPiR bc of how gimmick ridden it's become.
