CBS Daytime Emmy Award-winning game shows THE PRICE IS RIGHT and LET’S MAKE A DEAL kick off their new seasons with specially themed weeks on Monday, Sept. 21 (check local listings), on the CBS Television Network. Network television’s #1-rated daytime program and the longest-running game show in television history, THE PRICE IS RIGHT, hosted by Drew Carey, celebrates season 44 and five decades on CBS with a decade-themed week, featuring a different decade each day: the ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s, ‘00s and today. LET’S MAKE A DEAL, with host Wayne Brady, premieres its seventh season with “Mega Deal Week,” featuring up to $500,000 worth of prizes, the largest in the show’s history.

During “Decades Week” on THE PRICE IS RIGHT, each episode will focus on one decade, from the ‘70s through the current 44th season, and feature decade-appropriate wardrobe, clips from that period and the return of the most famous mic in television history. “Decades Week” concludes Friday, Sept. 25 with an episode that highlights current times, plus looks to the future of the Daytime Emmy Award-winning game show, and one lucky contestant having the opportunity to play the new pricing game, Vend-O-Price. Fans are invited to share their favorite memories of THE PRICE IS RIGHT on social media all week, using the hashtag #PriceDecades.

Every day that the Mega Deal is not won, the odds of winning it on the next show increase by one.  As a special bonus in one of the episodes, LET’S MAKE A DEAL will offer one lucky audience member the chance to win a $2,000 Quickie Deal as a “thank you” to fans for making them the number one game show on Twitter, with over 225K followers.
