‘The Price Is Right’ False Advertising Has Fans In Uproar

The Price Is Right has fans in an uproar after it advertised new episodes and didn’t deliver this week. Like many other shows, The Price Is Right is on summer break right now, and fans have been tired of seeing reruns. So, when can viewers actually expect the game show to return? Here is everything you need to know.

The Price Is Right At Night Interrupted By The RNC

Viewers have been irritated by the reruns that have been airing during the summer break. Then, one week after Season 52 ended, the reruns were replaced by another show.

CBS is currently airing The Price Is Right At Night at 8 p.m. EST on Wednesdays. Unfortunately for fans, even that was interrupted this week. The Republican National Convention coverage aired in its place. CBS had coverage of the RNC from July 15 through July 18 starting at 8 p.m. EST each day.

While this may seem fairly normal, The Price Is Right fans were caught off guard because they were promised a new episode on July 17. A teaser was posted on Instagram and the caption read, “Grab your popcorn (and your mother-in-law) and get ready for another incredible night of big wins on tonight’s #PriceisRight at Night!”

The clip shared showed a man and his mother-in-law playing a game together. They won and landed a trip to Greece. However, fans didn’t get to see that episode due to the RNC coverage.

Fans Are Impatiently Waiting For New Episodes

Fans took to the comment section to let their disappointment be known. “Unfortunately the RNC broadcast has taken over,” one fan warned everyone else. Another person wrote, “They are ones that are old why don’t you guys bring out new ones.”

A third person pointed out, “This is a rerun from October.” Another fan exclaimed, “Can’t wait for the new season.”

Viewers were first thrown off when they expected to see a new episode of The Price Is Right on July 8. Host Drew Carey took the stage in a wrestler costume and the announcer wished people watching at home a Happy Halloween. People were confused.

It turned out to be a rerun from October 2023. Since then, the beloved game show has been on summer break. Due to the break, reruns of the regular show will air at its regular daytime slot until September.

Many fans were confused as to why there was no warning for viewers about the break. “Did I miss somewhere in the last episode an announcement about a break or an off-season until episodes start airing again?” one person asked on Reddit. Another viewer pointed out that they have a summer break every year.

If you’re waiting for new installments of The Price Is Right At Night, there should be a new episode next week at 8 p.m. EST on Wednesday.
