My Favorite Price is Right DSW's of All Time 

Before there were DVRs, heck before some of us even had VCRs, the only way a kid could bask in the glory of Price is Right was on a sick day!! Great memories! Love this show!!

So so so true, for me that was always the absolute highlight of getting to stay home sick from school - watching Price is Right hosted by Bob Barker at 11am. Because as a kid in the 80s or 90s you never got to watch that show unless you were staying home sick, it was just one of those things!

Being sick was my reason to stay home sick from school. TPIR was just icing on the illness cake.

My summer fun, while laying in my mom's bed! It was always more comfortable lol

Good thing I was born in 2001

I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me

Has there ever been someone who won the showcases with a bid thats on the nose

You should check out the video "The Price Is Right Bryan Bryan Bryan"......... It's probably heard best of all in that video.

I like this reply. My name is Brian and a friend of mine sends me a birthday wish every year on FB with just the horns.

Nah, sounds like an old carny ride.

Mail's in!

Yessss!! I get chills!!

Almost like the wof terrt

How does Terry keep from dropping a loud cuss when she realizes she loses both showcases by one dollar?

No clue. By all rights, she should've been cussing her heart out. That's the kind of thing when you wonder if the universe itself hates you and wants you to get kicked repeatedly in the crotch.

@@jayfeather31 I mean, the people who make it to the Showcase Showdown STILL won a lot of prizes before that.

if it happens, it happens,IMO both should have gotten DSW, and wow, 9K today would be the usual winnings in the "entry games", heck, many prices for the initial bid are real close to that

I wonder what would happen if both contestants tied at the end. Would they each win both showcases, or they only win their own showcase?

@@ochsj1971 double double showcase winner

In todays money that works out to be $5,000 in all fairness....

J Ochs Unless the day where that happens arrives, we’ll probably never know

They don't call it "the famous Bob Barker Studio in Hollywood" for nothing!

​@@gcfifthgear unfortunately they are moving out of that studio.

I've hosted contests at conventions. You're so involved in the game and running the show, that a top win is the greatest outcome you could ask for. Bob must be impressed, and genuinely happy in these moments.

Still.is fun😂

Mine too sugar Long live the King 👑

LOL

That DSW alarm is the ringtone on my phone when my wife calls. Warning warning it's the wife it's the wife.

Reminds me of a fire alarm myself.

Reminds me of a fire alarm.

It's a glorious sound 😎

You were a lucky cat!

I’ve been to it and been on it when he was the host

Chris, I have a question for you. You said that you have been to the Price is Right. Can you hear the music in the audience? The music and all the sounds helps make it such a great show. Just wondering if it sounds in person as it does on TV.

@@sirm45 yes you can hear the music. But with the audience in their it gets very very loud. When I was there and used to get so loud at the beginning they had to put the first four contestants names up on a whiteboard because you can't hear the names that the announcer is calling so they have to show you in order to be able to know who to come on down

@@chrisarseneault5617 Thank you. It seems that it does not sound as good as it does on TV.

I think that was the season premiere. They spared no expense being that it was Bob’s final season.

I thank-you so much susan for the comment.

I thought the same. Kinda depressing, no?

The networks also have a lot more money to throw at the show than in the 70s

what a good sport George is, clapping so for her win!

I love how he was clapping and slowing going off camera as if he was trying to get as much air time as possible lol!

Do a search for a sound file of the "collision alarm" for US Navy ships. It's very, very close. Have no idea if it's still in use, but in the '90s that was the sound.

cheaters

@John a clipper how?

That's right kirk!!!

Me too, but the thing is that would be terrifying

I was wondering why they got both showcases for being more than $100 under.

Think now it’s 1000.

@@blind_t2 it should be $500 with another 25 years of building inflation

@@blind_t2 Nope, still $250.

Hi Kevin, to comment on your post on raising the Double showcase range from $250 or less to $500 or less. I agree with you, the double showcase range should be raised to quote Bob, “if you’re the winner and you’re within $ 500 or less of retail of your own showcase, you’ll win both showcase.” Yes, the double showcase range should be $500 or less.

cheaters

No doubt, Drew needs to step his game up!

@@menajera1 Drew is ewwwwwww. Bob is GREAT!!!!

TheTreasureHouse 😂

Bob Barker is one of a kind. He has an outstanding combination of charisma, wit, humor, and showmanship.

Shhhhh. Don't jynx it

Hell yeah 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

i sure hope so. bob barker is the king of the price is right.

@@robertcroxtonjr.7623 I looked it up on Wikipedia, & it says he is.

God bless him!

she thought hello darkness my old friend

I thought both contestants should have won.

Look at 11:25, losing lady pushes winning one away

After that, I would never look at a dollar bill the same way again,

She was not that bad off as she had won a Corvette in her game earlier in the show. At that time it was a near 60K Vette.

Sure Babe!!

Thank god it's not a shoe store.

didnt realize that till towards the end. kept wondering the name of the show T-he P-rice is R-ight didnt add up to DSW..lol

i love price is right double showcase wins. they are the best wins ever.

No shit dummy

That should have been written out in full.

Wasn't he the first winner?

@@janellirving4625 Yep

Yeah, Drew was not prepared for that shit 😂

They stopped taping for 45 minutes. Drew was probably done.

And that is exactly why the game show industry is dead. Accusations of game show rigging will never end.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HdFKZtZop7A.html This video here goes over how Terry got the exact bid and he wasn't the one who knew the exact price.

@@RobMoldovan Thanks for that link. It was a pretty interesting watch. Crazy that someone went to those lengths to be good at The Price is Right!

It happens. Adjustments for both inflation as well as the luxuries that the prizes represented in their times.

Yeah, I got one of the home games and it was way out of date. If I still had Family Feud home game, it might be good.

The 89,000 dollar one was in Bob's last year, 2007.

At least the car is something they can borrow against to pay the taxes. Try borrowing against a trip to France or even a bedroom set

Or you can sell the car afterwards.

"ONLY" pay tax... of $13000 or so? Ouch!

@@gphell33not true, nothings is yours until you pay the taxes. Can’t borrow against something that’s isn’t technically yours yet

@@dandan7973 If it's guaranteed to be yours after the taxes are paid a bank would give you a loan. It's also been documented that since 2008, all showcase showdown winners have paid the taxes and accepted their prizes.

I made myself listen closer and Drew even said under his breath that it hasn’t happened since 72 or 73. You were right

Agreed!!!

Alicos Smallwood I don't agree...Drew always seems happy when someone wins. I loved Bob and he was great, but I love Drew too. Drew always looks genuinely disappointed when a contestant loses, especially if the prize was a car or cash, because he knows those are the prizes contestants want to win most. I can't figure out why you think that negatively about Drew...I've never seen him act like that.

I think Drew is just one that can be happy for someone but it doesn't show as great as Bob's reactions. If I were to compare myself to either one, I'd be more aligned with Drew, I'd be happy for you but it's hard for me to show it the way Bob does. But my mom, she'd be more of the Bob Barker of us two. I'm very calm and laid back and hard to get major reactions out of (unless I'm angry or pissed).

His lack of enthusiasm at Terry correctly guessing the actual retail price was put down to a suspicion that he had cheated, especially as a longtime producer had recently been sacked acrimoniously. The whole staff didn’t know how to react.

Especially that it wasn't an even bid either(ie 18500,22,000,etc). That was an odd bid and I don't blame anyone if they thought he cheated(don't know if he did or not).

Bob was in a huge hurry!!

Also, the value of the showcases. $2,200 and $4k LOL. Winning the Double Showcase was less than any current TPIR game.

@@idanoreilly - Back in the 1970's, it was a lot tougher to edit and get the episode lengths to a specified time range. It's 1000x easier to edit the show length down to the exact seconds nowadays in the digital age. My guess is they were over on time for that episode and he had to rush in the end.

How could you visit again if you had come down?

@@sha11235 you can visit as much as you want if you're in LA and reserve a spot in the audience. It's not hard to do.

@@neferazure If you were on the show as a contestant, you can't come on again. You can come back if you weren't picked to come on down.

To be fair, all the clips shown were from when Drew was just starting. Nowadays his reactions feel a little more genuine; still not as good as Bob’s reactions, but still with more emotion

Drew is not a good game show host. He should have stuck with WLIIA which requires no skill what so ever.

Especially when that contestant hit it right on the nose! He sounded bored and you could barely hear him!

@@Nettiezoo i no! I would of love 2 hear bobs excitement 4 that. But noooo drew had 2 keep it sooo boring

Bob was a more exciting host. Drew despite hosting for 13 years remains boring as ever.

My Pleasure

She's in the 2007 book about the Price is Right history.

I wasn't aware of that Tommy I was working but thanks for the info

utkgrad101 Thanks I truly appreciated!

Glad you like them!

Glad you enjoyed it!

You're Welcome

Well, didn't the person win some stuff anyway?

Not necessarily. I won $10,000 in Oregon State Lottery a few months ago and had 25% taken out for federal taxes and 7% state income tax taken right off the top. I just filed my taxes and got about half of that back...

RockinRob69 i won the showcase in October 2019. The taxes were not terrible. But those free prizes are certainly not free😂

@TheHomeMediaCollector Productions Whom are you talking too?

@@Blueguy72 .. There's a difference between cash and prizes. With prizes, the taxes must be paid in advance. Since most don't have the ten or fifteen thousand in cash to pay taxes, most will accept a much lower consolation prize instead.

@@dwightstewart7181 I heard that some didn't have the tax money, but thought they had to sell their prize. What about loans, cc or mortgage?

You're really bad at math

@@petezapartti2459 🤦‍♂️ how can you say that when you don’t even know the parameters used...? you apparently have no clue how much taxes they take, because it’s very close to what I said. You need to pay roughly 1/3rd of the value of your winnings up front before you can collect the prizes. You’re really bad at being civilized, it seems.

@@tee4222 They’re playing in california, and california’s tax i believe is in the vicinity of 10-15%. Or are they not going off of the state’s sales tax ?

you pay both federal income tax and state tax on prize money in California, which adds up to about 37% in total. But with game shows like this, you need to pay the money prior to receiving your prize.

Wait... They need to pay taxes for that???? 😧😧😧

cap

@@adrianpale2342Nah, no cap - it was such a big deal at the time that they did an internal investigation. When they were able to recreate his methodology, they went forward with awarding the prizes. Mind you, I COMPLETELY understand Drew’s reaction - I would have been wildly skeptical as well. I suppose not being a veteran like Bob Barker though, he didn’t know that really specific bids like his weren’t that out of the norm

Bob Barker would have reacted in a very different way. Bob will truly be missed!!

There is a very interesting documentary on this called “The Perfect Bid”. It is well worth the watch.

@@adrianpale2342what is cap?

+Alexander Edward Pytko believe it or not its been rumored that Terry "strategically" bid for his prizes to get the exact price by studying all previous showcases. I'm sure there was some luck involved, but he did an interview later on and said that he did in fact study common price is right goods to get their actual retail price!

A Fisher Well, nothing wrong with doing your homework to win.

The reason Drew wasn't enthusiastic was because they delayed the reveal for a really long time, apparently like 90 minutes to find out if Terry cheated or not. They couldn't find any evidence and Drew was tired of waiting.

Jason McGraw Well, yeah. Terry studied a lot of showcases and there's no rule against that. He came to the show prepared.

Alexander Edward Pytko Yep, I didn't say he did anything wrong.

@Teisted Jedi(open): Over 30 years ago, when I was a teen, I saw one such show; an old lady bid in Contestant's Row something like $850, and this young guy on her left bid $851. She then proceeded to pull out some mini baseball bat from her purse, to which Bob Barker asked: "Why do you have that out?" She replied, "Because of people like HIM!"

Someone actually shoved another contestant for doing that. I don't blame her either. If you're going to one-up a bit the LEAST you could do is give them $5 breathing room.

I have never like the $1 more bid. The most annoying is when they are not even paying attention and Bob or Drew have to literally scream at them. They ask what is the highest bid, bid $1 more and win.

Let's see clips of when someone was overbid by $1 but got the price exactly right! I remember seeing that at least once

@@sandal_thong8631 there was one in the 1970s that someone guessed the exact price of the showcase and in December 16 2008 someone named Terry got the exact price of the showcase. I hope someone has the one in the 1970s that someone guessed the exact price of the showcase. I you do send me a link of the episode

That actually happened.

Ya, the guy gets it exactly right and he barely shows any emotion.

It takes awhile to get used to doing this show.

@@my3dviews To be fair the producers initially thought he cheated to get that price right on the nose so there was a LOT of suspicion surrounding that bid (though they had no proof to back up their claims). And needless to say, Drew, being the rookie TPIR host that he was at the time, was NOT prepared for such an event to happen. Lol

@@cameraredeye3115 How could he have cheated? That would require that an insider gave him the info.

@@my3dviews They thought someone in the crowd(his wife?) was giving him answers somehow and stopped taping to ensure he didn't actually cheat.

I felt bad for him because he worked incredibly hard to learn and memorize all those prizes and got an exact bid! Regardless of how he got there, it was an incredible win and made history on the show. Drew should’ve been excited for him and let him have his moment. Truly, even if Drew expected him of cheating, he should have been excited on the show for the audience to get hyped up

Drew has explained this several times in interviews, he was shocked, at first they didn't think the episode would even air, he said if he'd known it would have, he'd have been more enthusiastic about it. At the time, he was terrified he was going to go down as the guy who killed TPiR.

It's Michael Larson's run on Press Your Luck all over again. It's not cheating if you study the show beforehand.

@@leandar It's called being a professional. Even if it was a 1 in a million moment, Drew should have conducted himself in case the show Did air; which it did.

Not necessarily. Going second loses plenty of times but all DSWs have their bid read second.

the only time that the "2nd person" should know they won is if the person who got read 1st "would had won both showcases under normal circumstances"? ( the 1 dollar difference ), as there is always a chance the second read was an overbid or slightly more than 1st read differential....................... only way (it seems as the rules says "the winner" ( one with less difference without going over ) has to be 250 or less in difference without going over ) to have both winning the double showdown would be if both had the exact same differential? ( which has never happened )

not always.. some times there is a double overbid. on those days it doesnt matter who's bid gets read first or 2nd

In these cases, yes, the dsw is read second. Makes sense because it ends the show on a great note. The last one Bob had to read the one that was a little higher first. It didn't necessarily mean that the other person was going to be closer though. Maybe he did it for suspense.

@@richardgaspard7917 You're right, Rich! I've seen that happen myself, even in the Barker days!

That's why I don't watch TPIR as much anymore because of that

@@StarZendonna1687 Yeah but in Drew"s defense, the entire staff thought that they were being rolled and that Terry cheated. Because of that, Drew believed that the show wouldn't see the light of day and so he acted accordingly.

@@professor0526 CDSW, controversial Double Showcase Win.

@@StarZendonna1687 like one said, they thought they cheated. I will agree, drew didn’t get it in his early years, but, he’s got so much better at it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Everybody including the production staff thought Terry cheated, he won the Golden Road earlier The truth was, preparation meets opportunity. Terry has a photographic memory (1), (2) he used to be the Weatherman for a TV station in FLA, he's not a dummy (3) he recorded the last several years of PIR and re-watched them. He noticed the same prizes were given away every so often. Everybody knows that but he put together and bid perfect to get on stage. That was his 2nd or 3rd trip to the show from Las Vegas though. You can read all about it online.

There’s a documentary about the whole thing, I think it’s called the perfect bid, and what it puts forth as the truth will surprise you.

@@OlentangyThe There was serious concern among the staff that CBS would not allow the Dec. 10, 2008 _Price is Right_ episode to air.

He essentially broke the system that day. They change prizes for showcases a lot more often now

They suspected it, but turns out he didn't cheat. He was just very strategic and calculated in his bidding. They figured out the system and used it to their advantage. Price is Right changed their system after that.

Susan Graham I wonder if the Price Is Right ever considered doing it if you get the right price on a showcase you get both plus a million dollars

Paul Z Good Question!! Since the Price is Right MDS has been on hiatus since 2008 it's currently unknown.

Susan Graham I love it. The last one was one epic showcase war.

Thanks Dran and the epic showcase war was right.

What is MDS?
