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
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.
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.
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
