That's too Much! Even when the game was winnable, it was still a dull game to me.

For me the two games that would be first on the chopping block are Half-Off, Let 'em Roll and Pass the Buck.
This is why they retired Hit Me.  :-P
But they retired Hit Me because people couldn't cou- oh, I get it. VERY well played. Who's got the sheet of gold stars?

I'm going to take back my last answer and retire Range Game instead. In this day and age, the $150 range seems....chintzy. It's an easy fix, and they could make it something more like $500, but I'd rather just get rid of it. I really think that the only reason it stayed around so long was because of the 37 hours joke.

Haw, I see what I did there. I thought of Half-Assed and Let 'em Win first, then remembered PTB, but forgot to change two to three. Derp.

At first I wanted to say Joker, but it turns out TPTB shot that broken-legged horse a few years ago. Good.

I guess I'll go with Pick-A-Number.

The thing I always take away from these threads is that if we all got our way, TPIR would have a slim, slim rotation. You're not going to like every game on a show like Price. If we did a thread like this about Jeopardy categories, it would feel the same way to me.

Which is another reason that "What don't you like" threads are pretty annoying and generally serve no useful purpose.

You show me the man whose favorite game was Double Prices, and I will show you a flying pig, because both have an equal chance of existing.

No, but the list of "if I had one free stamp-out" games looks very small. I think that for the most part people have decent reasons, though I think it is interesting that people tolerate Squeeze Play but loathe Pick-a-Number, even though they're both the same idea.

Double Prices.

Seriously, it's the least taxing "game" on TPIR. "Is it $x or $y?" I pity anyone who gets called onstage to play that. At least with Switch?, there's some degree of something happening when the models show the prices and/or move them from one prop to the other.

I'd also say 10 Chances, because it takes way too freaking long and nobody seems to know how to play it. When's the last time someone won this? 2004? </hyperbole>
