Trivia

  • Early in the 1970s syndicated TPIR, contestants played for two prizes, one at a time. An incorrect decision on one prize did not affect whether he won (or could win) the other prize. This format is generally referred to by fans as "double Double Prices."
  • According to TPIR producers, Double Prices has been played more often than any other pricing game. It usually makes up for time spent on games with more complicated rules.
  • Although not a car game, Double Prices has been played for a car on nighttime specials, and occasionally on the daytime show.
  • Double Prices has the most inconsistent staging of any pricing game. It was originally played at center stage, behind the Giant Price Tag. Starting in the late '70s, it would occasionally be played behind Door #3. Sometime during the '90s, it began to be staged almost exclusively at Door #2; this held true until May or June of 2003, when the game began to occasionally use its original staging again.

In the television industry (as in radio), syndication is the sale of the right to broadcast programs to multiple stations, without going through a broadcast network. ...
