[Casey Buck]

ClockGameJohn from golden-road.net has an advance copy of the DVD, and posted a few screenshots here.

Yes, the slates and the ticket plugs are there.

I wouldn't bank on the first part of that sentence.

I was more hoping not to bank on the second part.

Well, so was I, but one out of two's better than nothing.

Can't say I agree, but to each their own.

I'm not sure I see the point, actually.  We've long established that the fanb0iz will buy pretty much anything with a TPIR logo, but they're also not enough of a customer base by themselves.  Will another set that's more of the same appeal to the mass market?  At least with Match Game or Tattletales there would be different celebrities; I'm not sure "Volume 2, with even MORE idiots jumping around!" is a big selling point.

I just say what I know.  I don't always try to explain the logic behind it.

But that's not your problem, or mine.  That's only BCI's problem.  The question as presented was whether having a Volume Two available (even without the "golden age" of models) is better than not having a Volume Two available.  I don't see the downside of more episodes being made available to those who want them, while those of us who are not interested in seeing more idiots jumping around are free to do something else with our money.

True enough.  And I guess it's still a better use of one's money than, say, $182.50 on a fake PYL T-shirt. :-)  I'll still be interested to see how many of these sell.

Unless I missed it, whatever happened to the premiere episode being on this set?  Was it axed because of the fur coat?

And I guess I still don't see what the "pot of gold" was.

(Although, I assume that these sets are selling halfway decently for BCI to continue making them...)

Well, my response against that talking point is that I think the man-hours being put into The Best Of The Price Is Right That Lord Barker Will Let Us Air, Volume 2 would be better spent working on a compilation of another show (say, Pyramid), so long as BCI is going to continue this Game Show Boxed-Set series.

I believe it is the episode from 3rd Anniversary Week with the Rainbow Wheel.

Or anything in general that uses the "Pricedown" font -- I wonder how many "Grand Theft Auto" fans are also fans of TPIR (or vice versa)?

On the screenshots, for the show main menu, I notice one airdate of "9/3/72", AKA the day before the premiere, AKA a Sunday. Is that just a typo, or a set date for that week's syndie episodes, which I'm guessing bicycled back then?

The dates shown in the menu are tapedates.  The airdates will be on a guide included in the package.
