The Price is Right - January 21st 1974 (SM) 

It's so hard to believe that this is now 50 years old this month! I was in third grade and I turned 8 in April.

I was today years old when I learned there were propane powered cars in the 70s. Hank Hill would shed a joyful tear.

The new 1974 cues were just weeks away.

I still don’t understand why mystery price was retired. The game didn’t look difficult to understand, the set wasn’t malfunctioning, and the contestant playing it understood the game well enough to win it lol so yeah I just don’t understand

Two cars in one half-hour episode?! Never seen that before

I'm a real TPIR music maven. The music for the first showcase on the TVPMM site is under Concentration Cue #18 - Car Theme 1 - Concentration '73

The second showcase had 12 products and ran over 2 1/2 minutes. They didn't have a game with groceries, so they all ended up in a showcase!

I wonder what Dennis James' performance would have been if Mystery Price was played on his nighttime version. He would have done fabulous! BTW, Match Game 74 episode for 1-21-1974 featured Joe Flynn, Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, Linda Kaye Henning, Richard Dawson, and Betty White. and the #1 song in America was "Show and Tell" by Al Wilson.

A car offered in two back to back pricing games. There's something you never see.

Pricing Games: Lucky Seven Mystery price(retired) Most Expensive

Mystery Price wasn't a bad PG, it should've lasted longer, between than Double Digits.

ah, da ol dayz.......

Many of these people are dead by now including the audience members who look like they were in their 40's, 50's and 60's and possible older.

Anyone know why these 70's game shows didn't have copyright dates like sitcoms or dramas did?

The comet looked like the Ford maverick

In some ways it was a better world back then there was no Internet with woman hating degrading and or violence made to seem normal and acceptable in millions of homes. There also were no cell phones, no Twitter now X , no RU-vid, Facebook or Instagram constantly focusing mostly on teen and women's looks posting selfies to get likes and followers based on it.

Series 2 Episode 16

My guess for each of the 4 Numbers in the Price of that Mercury would have been the following. First Number: 3 Second Number: 1 Third Number: 8 Fourth Number: 5

How long was the buzzer use in Lucky Seven losses?

My guess for those 2 Showcases would have been the following. 1st Showcase: $4,500 2nd Showcase: $4,000

S a little bit I
