I remember this!!! They didn’t do Christmas episodes for 1987 so they reran the Xmas 1986 episodes that year with that message playing at the beginning of each episode. I was a kid at the time & I saw these episodes brand new back in 86 and i remember that I was hoping to see Bob’s new gray hair with me being off from school Christmas week in 87 but this came back on & I was pissed lol. Memories!
“The Price Is Right” never had a Christmas episode in 1987, but this was a rerun from 1987 with a special Christmas episode since it was first aired in 1986.
I actually love the way they left the doors open while playing Superball. They normally did not do that! They also forgot to pull the curtain behind door #2 before showing the trips for Bump!
The show was a repeat, this led into Barker telling viewers this announcement @ 1:27: "Don't let this dark hair fool you, this is a Holiday rerun that was taped, before I let my hair go gray."
Both should win the showcases. She clearly said $1895 and Bob corrected her which is unfair. I wonder if any arrangement was made for that clear blunder. On other game shows they bring the contestant back if something questionable happens.
Apparently, the "Bump" game [at 12:55], was discontinued by "The Price is Right", because of too many complaints that the models shaking their hips was too sexual and inappropriate for prime-time TV in the USA. But all the cleavage was just fine, apparently. You have to wonder about the type of person who would actually make such a complaint. If enough people had complained that the models ought to be wearing even sexier, more revealing outfits, would the TV network have acquiesced to those demands?
This has to be a GSN rerun from 1998, but I like to see a better quality version of this episode on TPIR Bob Barker Era channel in the future where they will get into 1986. This was a special Christmas episode from 1986, and it was around that same time, the 4th edition of TPIR home game was released by Hasbro’s Milton Bradley that same year.
Unless they figure out how to edit out the hip action. Based on how long it's taking I have a feeling that is what they are doing or they wouldn't have blocked 2 episodes with bump.
