Overview
Maths teacher Ted Slauson became adept at recording and memorizing prices of products featured on the iconic game show The Price is Right, an obsession dating back to the show's inception in 1972. This passion and dedication for the show culminated in him helping a contestant place a perfect bid during a 2008 showcase, an innocent act that would create one of the biggest controversies in television industry history.
While this movie isn’t quite as interesting as the Press Your Luck documentary I still thought that it was mildly amusing and interesting. I think the best part of the documentary was seeing current-day Bob Barker sounding just as I remembered him (he was part of the soundtrack of my youth).
