This showed up on my YT front page so I watched it. Then, I watched the same date from this year, April 8, 2024, on Paramount Plus. Double showcase winner in that one. How bout that. And, they played One Away in both shows.
Keep or Give, released in December of 1972, was like Finish Line, which was released in 1978 and Trader Bob which lasted from 1980 to 1985. Keep or Give lasted until 1990. It should haven't been retired. Of all of TPIR's pricing games, it is in my top 10 favorite pricing games of all time!!!
here's what aired in prime time on this date: ABC: Perfect Strangers (repeat), Head of the Class (repeat), Dynasty (The Sublet), Mariah CBS: Roxie (Group Therapy), Take Five (The Return of Marty), Magnum, P.I. (repeat), Houston Knights (Yesterday's Gone) NBC: Highway to Heaven (repeat), Night Court (repeat), The Bronx Zoo (Conspicuous by Their Abstinence) In late night: Late Night with David Letterman (Teri Garr, Tim McCarver)
that's not very nice the Bob Barker/Johnny Olsen/Rod Roddy era was the best I don't think the Drew Carey era is that great at least Bob Barker knew how to joke around and have a good time he made TPIR a fun game show to be a contestant on
Here's what Barbara Weaver won: 2nd IUFB - His & hers Davos watches: $1,000 Pricing Game #2: One Away for a 1987 Mazda 323 Deluxe Hatchback: $8,458 Showcase #2 - TPIR Department Store: $12,390 (2nd floor, Furniture Dept; an Ultima 2000 armoire (3rd floor, Appliance Dept.; a home soda fountain from G.A. Systems, Inc. (4th floor, Sporting Goods Dept.; an Addictor 190 Deluxe sportboat. Grand total: $21,848
41:10 - 41:12 OUCH! Poor Terri done missed her Showcase by only 324 bucks! Bummer, bummer, bummer... ...but at least Barbara won her TPIR Department Store Showcase. Good for her.
It also wasn't really 13 seconds either. If you notice, the clock kept going another 2 seconds after he pulled the handle down to reveal all 4 were right. So really he won it in 11 seconds.
