AND, a 30-year-old precursor to the fashion-filled prizes that would adorn The Price Is Right, hosted by Drew Carey today, such as Burberry coats, Christian Loubetin heels, and Marc Jacobs handbags!
@@hotwax9376 Plus most Mark Goodson game shows used Score Productions...with a few exceptions such as Now You See It which used for the most part Quincy Jones and Chump Change.
Back then on the night time price is right episodes, the prizes seem to cost more than the daytime price is right episodes. Great seeing a young Janice and Anitra Ford and Dianne Parkinson. Thanks for this posting.
Anitra Ford is one of a kind awesome! That first showcase - playing all the way through an entire double-looped version of Splendido...twice, about a four-minute showcase. Marie creeps me out.
These showcases were pure luxury at the time! I remember when they offered furs in the showcases...Bob Barker later influenced the producers to stop cruelty to animals. Aahhh the 1970s...
I have always enjoyed the past price is right episodes. I was only 13 years old in 1976. I can't get over what the showcases were back then. Both showcase contestant were cute. I wonder what they look like today.
Can you imagine being Johnny Olsen doing the nighttime edition of The Price is Right from 1972-80? You want to catch your breathe while contestant makes a bid.
To see more of Anitra Ford's beautiful smiles.She was on the classic Matchgame earlier 1976 in May and it can be seen here on RU-vid....Looks like she had a ball on the electric scooter...
I was only 13 years old when this episode was recorded. It's great to Janice, Anitra Ford and Dianne Parkinson. They were great models. It has been awhile since they were on the show. Great seeing past episodes. Thanks for posting this 👍.
@@JasonDelarosa2000 What they have now, the female models are smokin hot. Especially Rachael. I think about today's female models also. If you want to know ok.
@@JasonDelarosa2000 Janice, Dian, and Anitra were eye candy for boys if any age. I was heart broken at first when Anitra left and Holly replaced her but after she joined she became a favorite of mine.
@@tomservo56954 Watching this 1976 episode and the cars from the 1975 episodes, I could tell the car manufacturers were making the cars 'boxier' and less streamlined. Strange world we live in when streamlined and wide-track cars fell out of favor to boxy cars, and they would have their 'Renaissance' in the 1990s and beyond!
@@whirliebird74 Boxier meant more room in less length...and by that time all cars were developed using wind tunnel testing. Some cars you'd call boxy were surprisingly streamlined, in the sense of their relatively low wind resistance.
They were channeling the modern show four decades early. A showcase full of designer clothes (with some downright awesome directing) with a recap at the end. Am I in the Twilight Zone?
it did have a board game version i had it back in the 70s alot of people may have forgotten about this version either because its been 40 years since or they just accociae the show with just bob barker.
As Range Game has gotten popular as a pricing game, Bob Barker has told contestants not to press the stop button if they aren't sure of the price "because we can't start the rangefinder for 37 hours".
Around this time as you are hearing the music cues in both showcases. Those will eventually be heard in Jack Narz's "Concentration". An episode or two is posted on youtube features them.
Since they won't rerun nighttime TPIR from 1972-80, this calls for pirate copies. That way Price fanatics who were born afterwards will get their TPIR education.
I always wondered that too. Why GSN never aired the 195 episodes Dennis James hosted. He wasn't the one that banned animal fur coats. That honor belongs to Bob Barker, like he owns the show or something. Some people never learn. If I worked for GSN at the time, I would force the Dennis James hosted eps to air against Bob's wishes as long as Bob is not around when animal fur coats are used as prizes.
Anitra Ford at her best! I was laughing out loud watching this too. She certainly had a flair for comedy, as evidenced in many of the showcase clips (LOL-worthy also). Throughout the entire episode, you can see what care she took with every gesture, smile, glance. A perfectly calibrated performance. For me, the show was never the same without her.

Dennis James himself recorded this from its original broadcast (same story goes for the other James TPIR episodes here), and Dennis' son Brad gave the tapes to Stu to transfer and post here.
Janice was fine as hell. Was this after Dennis accidentally called the little man from the Cliff Hanger game by her dead husband;s name, Fritz, and made her run off the show crying? Where is that episode?
I'm guessing he wanted to focus more on his charity work helping kids with cerebral palsy and that he was an avid golfer at the time. (He purchased a golf course in Palm Springs around 1980) He was probably expecting to retire from TPIR after season 5 anyways as neither him, nor Mark Goodson knew the nighttime version would last longer up to season 8 in 1980.
Bob offered furs too up through 81 or so, only banned them after Dorothy Jo died and he took up her animal rights cause. First IUFB ever daytime was a fur coat actually.
Back when TPIR had some nice camera work and even let the models have the spotlight, glad that Drew Carey brought it back When Barker took over as Executive Producer of TPIR in the Daytime, he took the camera off the models
+rob mush Family Feud is from Goodson/Todman Productions and performed by Score Productions. They have rights for using other G-T cues like Family Feud, Concentration, and Match Game/Hollywood Squares.
Too bad the nighttime versions hosted by James, Barker, and Kennedy didn't go on til the 90's. Would have been great to see at the time. I am old enough to remember Kennedy's version but not the prior ones. And I am unsure whether the James/Barker nighttime versions aired in the Detroit market either. I would have remembered if they did to some degree.
I guess I'm a morbid person, but I wonder how many if these people are still alive? Also, I didn't know Family Feuds theme music was recycled from TPIR, because they play it when they reveal the prizes!
Not all games used the losing horns, there were some that did and others that did not. Range Game as far as I know only used them if it was played for a car and lost. And yes there were two different buzzer sounds, one the tenor buzzer usually for wrong guesses, losses on certain pricing games, as well as a multi-buzz for an overbid in Contestants' Row, and the bass buzzer (foghorn) for other pricing game losses, pulling out a strike in 3 Strikes, time's up sound on some games, Showcase Showdown and the Showcase when you go over among others. Sometimes on certain pricing games they would use both sounds interchangeably for losses especially during the late 80s/early 90s.
In January 1977, the Range Game changed to its present colours. The magenta range finder became red, and the words "Range Game" and the price appearance from blue to green. "Family Feud" debuted on ABC in mid-July 1976, and due to the overwhelming fan mail received as they heard this theme playing on this game show, Viacom debuted "Feud" in fall of 1977.
Spike Riley I remember that one. Dennis James yells "There Goes Fritz" as the mountain climber falls off the cliff unaware that it was the name of Janice Pennington's boyfriend whom disappeared while mountain climbing. After that, she went backstage crying through the rest of the show. That broke his heart as he never hosted another game show since 1977.
I believe that this was one of the final seasons where Dennis James hosted. Bob Barker took over as the host of the nighttime “Price Is Right” from 1977 until it ended in 1980. This has to be an banned episode where fur coats was given away at the time.
Knbc Los Angeles match game gene Rayburn cbs match game 76 and pm also Dennis James price is right this was Christmastime December 1976 a cbs daytime game show also lets make a deal as well Monty hall abc family feud as well
Bob Barker hosted the daytime version on CBS from its start in 1972 until his retirement in 2007. Dennis James hosted this syndicated evening version until the 1977-78 season. I suspect the reason for replacing Dennis with Bob had to do with the infamous "There goes Fritz" incident during Cliffhangers. (If you aren't familiar with it, I can explain it to you.)
Dennis was replaced when the NBC-owned stations dropped the show and it was picked up by the CBS-owned stations. As they had in 1972, CBS brass wanted Barker on this version. He was available as Truth or Consequences had ended the season before. Since the future of this syndicated version hinged on clearing the show in the large markets where the network owned affiliates, CBS got what it wanted.
From the start Mark Goodson wanted Dennis James to host the CBS Daytime version of "The New Price Is Right" originally but he was overruled by Bud Grant who was the head of Daytime Programming at CBS who wanted Bob Barker to host instead. So Bob Barker got the hosting job on the CBS daytime version of "The New Price Is Right" while Dennis James got the hosting job on the weekly nighttime syndicated version of "The New Price Is Right".
@@hotwax9376 Dennis James would have planned on retiring after the fifth season anyways as both him and Mark Goodson assumed that the nighttime PIR would last that long. But ratings were good enough to last an additional three more years and that James wanted to focus more on his charity work helping kids with cerebral palsy and that he was an avid golfer at the time (He brought a golf course in Palm Springs in 1980). The "There Goes Fritz" myth was later believed to be hype.
Both were offered to host "The Joker's Wild" in 1972, but turned it down as they insisted Jack Barry should do it as every game show emcee active at the time was very supportive for Jack after all he's been through since the quiz show scandals.
The CBS daytime version of TPIR that has aired since 1972 is the most well-known version, of course, but there have been several syndicated (not distributed through a network) versions too, and this episode is from one of those that Dennis James hosted. The last syndicated version aired 30 years ago and only lasted about 3-4 months.
Overall neither CBS or Fremantle will give BUZzR permission due to honoring Bob Barker's request because of the situation with the health of the pet population..
That was strange hearing the Family Feud theme play in full during the prize descriptions in Race Game. Speaking of which, that was one of the worst Race Game playings I've ever seen! To say that her win was a complete fluke would be an understatement. Also, that first showcase... Looks like the "fashion items for a year" idea existed long before Mike Richards became executive producer.
+Adam Smith Actually the Feud theme was meant as a cue for TPIR first. They just discovered it worked better for Family Feud and composed a whole package around it for the show. The Feud theme was used on TPIR as a cue until about 1981 or 2.
SuperPat88 They didn't have the bonus back then. That came in 1977, and to my knowledge, this syndicated version of TPIR never had that perfect bid bonus.
@@NickCMedia It'd be interesting to know if Barker's part of the run is when it started. There's next to nothing outside of the last episode of that 3 years, so it could well have existed there, especially if 77 was when the daytime show adopted it.
