Not to sound like an ingrate, but these early TPiR eps., while interesting from a historical perspective, aren't nearly as enjoyable as ones from the '80s--the pricing game lineups are repetitive, the set is ugly as sin, and Bob is at his fakest, most-patronizing worst. I hope they move forward with the primary rotation soon as well.

Bob does not get to his patronizing worst until women have to reach into the $100 pocket.

And personally, I liked the original set. And I prefer the show as a half-hour. But that’s me.

Last week I watched an episode from about October of '72. I had to remind myself a few times that it was early in the run and that Bob wasn't being patronizing as much as he was explaining the rules to new contestants and viewers. But it definitely felt like ELI5 territory.
