LLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET READY TO COME ON DOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWN!It's the long anticipated start of PRICE$SEASON 35 (NOD, NOD,NOD.)

...and not only is it the 35th year of Price as we know it, both Bob Barker and the show are approaching major milestones - the 50th Anniversaries of Price's first episode(just after Thanksgiving) and Barker's TV debut (New Year's Eve). (NOD, NOD, NOD.)

One year ago over $200,000 in loot went out the door on opening day, the largest single-day haul ever. Can that total be surpassed, and will the season average get back on the happy side of par after falling short the last two years? (NOD,NOD,NOD.)

Well, what is everyone waiting for? The house is crawling with reporters, models, webmasters, and average citizens. It's so packed the fire marshal might close it down any minute. So, let's get this party started before they do.

Price season 35 is off to a awesome start, I saw the show and I didn't expect that to happen. Now that's one heck of a prize package...NOD, NOD, NOD. Anyway, I thought I would do a blog of what happened on the first show of Price's 35th season. (Yes I did taped it, for some of yall who want to know if I did.)
