I think what Rich should have said as a final April Fool's joke at the show's close was "This is Rich Fields speaking for Match Game" since they played the first few parts of the theme for one of the pricing games as a cue and during the show's end, But still this is pretty funny.
@fanofangela89 I agree, and he should have followed that with "a Mark Goodson/Bill Todman Production," though I'm sure the fine people af Fremantle wouldn't go for it.
@smittykins I would've gone with a different production company from anything TPIR was associated with. Like maybe Barry & Enright, Chuck Barris, Carruthers Company, hell, even Catalina Productions, lol
People do this when one contestant is so confident that the other is over. So it's almost a safety bid. Cause you're not going to go over bidding $1 on a showcase obviously! Happens like a half dozen or so times every season
I liked how they used different sounds in place of the wheel beeping in the showcase showdowns and how one of them was the Cliff Hanger's Yodeling Music and when the wheel was slowing they slowed it down. LOL. :)
The Backwards Showcase was a neat and original idea I don't recall being used before. I have to say that despite forgetting to tape this (damn work), this is original and worth the view. I also like bigjon's turntable clip from the fourth IUFB as well. Thanks for posting these, both of you!
Seen the show myself - everybody's wearing glasses-and-nose face disguises, and the entire second showcase (even the SUV) is shown backwards - everything from the rear. And the thing with the trip - wrong pictures for the Mediterrainean cruise.
OK, I'm not a big fan of the Carey era, but I'll give em this one for being cute. Would have never thought of them using the Match Game theme at the end. A for originality! :)
Dee Ronn, so excited, his nose almost fell off!

@johnissoevil That could have worked, but I'm not sure if they would have been able to get away with one of the first two without hearing from Sony.

@bluebear1985 Fremantle and Sony do have a good working relationship, so I'm sure if they had asked, Sony would've let them. :-)

Perhaps they don't really hate each other in real life, just on The Drew Carey Show.

They also used the MG "blank" music for two of the games.
