Trivia:

During the 'Pat Finn' era of the show, the set was designed to look like a two-level mall (in fact 14 mock "storefronts") from which contestants would choose a prize. A number of the "stores'" names were actually in-jokes referring to crew members. For example, the Heidi's Housewares shop was a nod to Executive Producer Heidi Cayn.

Pure stupidity.

"Shop 'Til You Drop" is without a doubt one of the dumbest game shows ever put on TV. The host Pat Finn isn't bad, but it's his co-host Dee Bradley Baker who really annoys the viewer, with his bizarre assortment of characters he plays during some stunts. Speaking of stunts, the ones the contestants have to pull to get points are lame brained, something a second grader would think is funny. It's a wonder to me that this show is still running at the time of this writing, I guess stupid sells.
