There is speculation that Telecinco is planning a comeback Right price. This will be it again, since the legendary contest he won at the end of the 1980s Joaquin Pratt On TVE he had many lives on television: with Pratt Sr. himself, and with Augustin Bravo (on Channel 7 Madrid), Carlos Lozano (again on TVE), with Juan and a half (on Antenna 3) and the last with Carlos Subrain 2021, on Telecinco. Did not exceed. It seemed outdated. With over-acting contestants who wanted to appear on television so they looked like actors and with awards that failed to surprise the expectations of today’s audiences. The spectator’s illusion is no longer satisfied with a car that only costs money.
The first and most emblematic edition of Right price (1988-1993) knew full well that the final display had to hide prizes that would spark social conversation from The impossible dream made possible by television. In reality, In our country, Right price He even gave up a trip to the moon. The award was awarded, although it was never completed. Because the lunar mission was stopped, even though it was sold with a date and everything: October 12, 1992, the same day that the 500th anniversary of the “discovery” of America was celebrated. We were entering the 1990s, where it seemed we could achieve everything we set out to do. So we feel Christopher Columbus space.
His text did not seek to colonize, but rather tried to be the perfect pitch to entice advertisers with greater potential for economic investment and, at the same time, encourage the public’s perception that they were facing… A great show where anything can happen. In this sense, the original layouts were designed with the same products that were displayed. There was more substance than finding the price. There were the practical ones, the ambitious ones, and those that confused the participants. Even those discovered by the public, whether they are technical advances or curiosities from other countries. But others were comedic jokes that sparked laughter between spectator and contestant.
A competition that has never required much theoretical knowledge from participants, but it does require a lot of street knowledge to get a better idea of the prices of items. Serendipity did the rest. This is one of the strengths of the formula: it is very easy to participate from home. On current television, moreover, there is the added incentive that the dynamics are completely different from other broadcast competitions. There are no search terms here. Here even the tests are not digital. They are cardboard panels indicating fairs and festivals.
The problem is how to make the show not look like it’s from the 80s. In the aesthetics, in the tone of the contestants, in the items to guess their price and in the ultimate amazement of the prizes that can be won. There will be nuance in the contest to convey karaka or authenticity. The good thing is that they can now give the gift of a trip in a space capsule. The bad thing is, we even feel like we’ve already seen it. And with Katy Perry And Caliga.
