Only old people watch The Price Is Right.

If you go strictly by the commercials seen during the show.

Wow... you must be old!

The kids are upstairs playing grocery store, so I thought I'd turn on the Price Is Right while folding laundry and straightening the kitchen.

Every commercial has been aimed at the geriatric crowd.

When I was a kid, the commercials during TPIR were aimed at housewives - you know: baby diapers, cleansers, April fresh fabric softener, that type of thing.

I guess those housewives got older, retired, and want power scooters, specially priced life insurance, and diabetic testing supplies.

I went shopping all the time with my mom, so I was pretty good at guessing the prices.

My grandma probaly still watches that show every morning, she has been for the last 20+ years.

that's interesting.

The show is also supposed to be popular with college students, but they don't appear to be advertising to the college students.

I've always been a big game show fan. I was pissed off when Game Show Network started calling itself "GSN: The network for games" and taking the focus off the classic game shows they once aired. I wish they'd start an offshoot network (a la TV Land). I realize they have to make a buck, but still...

we watch it every day at my house. Plus notice the contestants, old people and college students. They vastly outnumber any other age group. But it is strange that all the commercials are for Geritol, Colonial Penn insurance and that dumb Wilford Brimley "You check your blood sugar, and check it often...there's no reason not to" one.

I guess they figure we are poor and are not worth selling to, I donno.

I wish Game Show Network would go back to it's old format, I don't understand how it is making money in its current state. The original shows that they produce are awful and I've seen those episodes of the Weakest Link so many times, I've memorized the answers.

running all the great old game shows either. The worst mistake they made was losing the contract rights to air reruns of The Price Is Right.

I'm in my late 30s. I belong to a demographic with money; unfortunately, I'm not the demographic they are going after. They want eh 18-35s, who are allegedly not interested in game shows of the bygone era.

I loved watching shows from the 70s, and I also loved their old Sunday Night In Black And White lineup - eight hours of b/w game shows from the 50s and 60s. There were some real classics aired then!

I didn't know I even knew it to begin with. :shrug:
