I am called at :30 minutes to play the Grocery Game This was my second visit to the CBS studio to try and get on. I had appeared on Wheel of Fortune in 1977 and Hollywood Squares in 1978.
I grew up in the 90s and watched Bob in that era, but im surprised at how much the 81' era was kept all way into the mid 2000s. Almost everything never changed.
Wow, it's so bizarre to see an episode with SO many things that would later be banned by Bob. We have: 1) A foreign car 2) Cowhide rugs 3) A supply of bacon 4) An aquarium with live fish in it 5) A supply of fried chicken, and 6) A fur coat
Bob did allow episodes of TPIR to be rerun on GSN with foreign cars, as well as episodes with KFC and other meat products did rerun on GSN. Only fur coat episodes were not allowed to be rerun back then.
I have no problem with anything on Bob's banned list. There are too many TPIR that were unaired because of the fur coats, and banning those episodes is not fair to us TPIR fans.
@@LeoVargas94Oficial Probably not yet, until if Barker passes on and if CBS/Fremantle can clear the material as they don't want it to affect the current version of the show.
This lit me up. 😄 I've been in TV production for about a decade, so I love behind-the-scenes bits, especially a look at the title card before chromakey (right at 00:00, keyed and revealed at 01:18). The chaser lights are nearby also, because you can see the shadows.
I can't thank you enough for posting this! It's the earliest episode of The Price Is Right (and probably anything else) I remember. I was three years old and went around the house the rest of the day pushing a plastic wheelbarrow and carrying on about the Golden Road. I mainly remember Robin, her red blouse, and the outcome of the showcase. There's no way I ever could have found which episode, and it certainly wasn't going to be rerun with the rugs and the coat. You probably won the best prize of the day: a dining group worth $4308 in 1981‽ I hope it was as nice as it looked. You couldn't have played any better, and I thank you again for sharing it with us. You made my day.
Archie Bunker This was taken from the original master tape from Fremantle’s vault. There were tons of TPIR material from around 1972 through 2007 are from the Fremantle’s vault which was sourced from the original video master tapes that has no commercials, but it goes to black for about minute or two to get back to the program.
Speaking of the funny game show that Bob used to do April 24th 1982 he was in Buffalo at Memorial Auditorium I was at that funny game show he walked up and down in the audience with a wireless mic he was probably six feet from us when he was walking picking contestants like a Truth or Consequences kind of game show it was very fun to see the things that people had to do to get gifts that night I was not a contestant however that was the only time I had the chance to see Bob Barker in person and it happened to be my birthday what a birthday present was to me didn't meet him though
That wasn’t over dressed for 1981, people knew how to be presentable for TV, better than those stupid sweatshirts they wore in the 1990’s and 2000’s. Plus back then TPIR or game shows in general we’re geared to a older audience.
On the original TPIR hosted by Bill Cullen, the contestants (and I presume the studio audiences) always wore suits, ties and dresses. (After all, this was the 50s and 60s.)
This episode put a BIG smile on my face1 Everyone was so….NICE. Nice to each other, nice to the contestants,. They won and lost graciously. A different time in America. I was in middle school when this episode was aired live, but I am glad I saw it now. Brings back good memories of a simpler time in my life. And the women - all beautiful and polite and warm. Thanks for uploading this :)
1st Double Showcase Winner in 9th season. 2 months later, Clement ended up being the 2nd with a $04 difference. Third-closest bid then, now 4th. Robin won: a sewing machine, a microwave oven, a treadmill, a bedding room group, mink coat, fishing gear, and trips to New Orleans via riverboat, Rome & African safari. She swept the prizes and broke the bank!
Edd Kalehoff, composer of the incidental music on TPIR, was once married to Andrea McArdle, one of the greatest performers in American musical theatre.
@BeverlyL. What a treasure! I rarely have seen a Grocery Game winner from this era. Out of curiosity, have you been able to find the WoF and HS episodes where you were a contestant?
I wonder if the camera ops make bets with each other to see if they immediately land on a contestant who gets called down. The guy who went in on you at 30:00 must've been laughing hard. Also, I think this is the only time in the history of TPIR that Kirksville, Missouri (My hometown) was mentioned.
@@ThePriceisRight4094D They charged you $67 to download this, even with a discount? I knew former contestants could request a copy of the episode they appeared in, but didn't know you had to pay for it. Thanks for sharing, most episodes on YT are average quality at best.
8:31 Pass, flat out pass I ain’t bidding on those rugs if I were on this episode back then!! Or you know what I would purposely overbid…… But one of 2 things would happen: We all would overbid or I could end up getting it!!!
One of my least favorite kinds of episodes, the dreaded el skunko. I don't care if there's a double overbid or not. When all the games are lost (technically you're not going against anybody in pricing games), I'd still consider it el skunko.
