The Price Is Right
Blog

First, I'd like to thank Mario500 for his years of daily updates. They will be missed but were much appreciated by myself and the thousands and thousands of viewers that came to this site.

With his resignation, a new page (yes, another) is turned in the TPiR Blog's history. We have existed since myself and my friend Jesse started it when we were in high school (2003). It has grown and grown for the last nine years and we reached record highs in terms of visitors during the entire 2009 year.

With 2010 I hope to bring even more TPiR tidbits to those who have bookmarked this site and those who stumble upon it through Google. I'm not sure the direction we will take yet, although I have been considering (for three years now) switching over to Wordpress as our publishing software. In any event, daily updates are (obviously) temporarily suspended for the time being; but they might return in the future. We are the the midst of going game-by-game through the set of pricing games and that will continue for the remainder of this season. Hopefully we'll have some other big things in store as we move into the spring.

The show has undergone some dramatic changes over the past few years and so have we here. We still look forward to the future. Those of you who drop by, please leave us a message! We are happy to share a little part of our day with you!

Hello,

I finally came to a decision I considered over the summer: resigning from The Price is Right Blog. Ever since Year 36, I have not enjoyed the show like I did in the past and posting about the show was becoming less enjoyable. I had given the show another chance, but Year 37 left me with bad feelings about the show and the first show of Year 38 helped in my decision. Coincidentally my local station interrupted the first show of Year 38 with a short report of a flash flood watch for counties neighboring my home county.

I was glad to help with The Price is Right Blog over the past few years, but after all the changes made to the show and the changes in my life, I need to be more concerned about my physical and emotional well being. Colin and Jesse, thank you for giving me the chance to work with you and pardon me for announcing my resignation on a Thursday. I hope this weblog continues with someone who is still dedicated to "The Price is Right" and capable of posting recapitulations Monday through Friday. Good day!
