LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - CBS has ordered four additional primetime "Price Is Right" specials and is moving the show to a more competitive time period. The network has also slated the return of legal drama "Shark."

Friday night's "Price Is Right Million Dollar Spectacular," hosted by Drew Carey, has won its 8 p.m. slot for each of its quartet of recent specials.

CBS has ordered four more episodes to run on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. during the May sweep. The show will return April 30.

The new "Price" time period is stocked with unscripted programming, with ABC's "Wife Swap," Fox's "Moment of Truth" and NBC's "Deal or No Deal" currently airing in the hour.

CBS also announced Monday a return date and new time period for "Shark."

The legal drama starring James Woods returns April 29 with four original episodes to wrap up the second season. CBS is also shifting the show from Sunday nights to Tuesdays at 9 p.m.

"Shark" is on the bubble for renewal next season and the network will likely watch its return performance closely to help make a decision on whether to bring back the show.

No, not the Game$how Marathon version hosted by Ricki Lake, they mean Whammy!:The All-New Press Your Luck which aired originally on GSN from 2002-03, hosted by Todd Newton.

i know he meant whammy with todd newton, but the pyl on GS Marathon was a huge fake and probably did more harm than good..

the one Todd Newton hosted, whammy the all new press your luck. Although I think Todd did a good job hosting, they tinkered with the game too much. That is not a game that should have been modernized
