The Price is Right is Our Favorite Game Show

Jul 21, 2010 by Paula

The Price is Right has always been one of my favorite game shows. When I was a kid, I watched it with my grandfather. We ate Moon Pies and bologna sandwiches. He drank Diet Rite and I always sipped chocolate milk. As a teenager, I watched the show with my overzealous father. Now that i get DirectTV offers I view it on our DirecTv satellite with my four-year-old son.

I loved the show with its old host, Bob Barker. His white head and slim microphone made him some sort of TV icon. I still enjoy the show, even without Bob. My son gets all excited when he hears the theme song. He dances in front of the TV and says, ‘Come on Dooooowwwwn!’

Over the years, I’ve gotten pretty good at guessing the prices of the items on the show. My son guesses, but always gets it wrong, of course. The big wheel is our favorite segment. My son loves numbers and calls them out as the wheel spins. I think the show is a fun way to spend time with my child. I would recommend it to anyone.
