Inspired by TVLubber2 I've decided to post this today instead of this weekend in celebration of TPIR's 41st anniversary. The Thursday episode from the season 23 premiere week. Enjoy!
1:50 I have never heard Bob say that in all the years. He always said "the contestant nearest to the actual retail price without going over will win it."
37:25 - Imagine being the stagehand they put in the trailer. They're just sitting in there for minutes, surrounded by inflated beach balls, hearing all sorts of muffled and echoy commotion outside, just watching the door and waiting for Gina to open it... and then BOOM! It's showtime! "Time to start chucking out those beach-balls, Stagehand! Keep it up until the trailer is totally devoid of vinyl spheres! "
The current show is nice, but nothing beats the old "version" with Bob Barker. I remember watching this as a kid with my mother. Now it's just the same stuff on repeat. :(
At 22:25, Bob receives a ball cap from a contestant. I remember once, a woman who made it on stage had a ball cap that she made herself for Bob. It was a green ball cap with the TPIR logo on it. She also had one that she made for Rob. It was glittering gold ball cap as Rob always wore those glittery or shiny jackets. Later on in the show, Rob was even seen wearing it.
It took less than five years to retire four-digit cars during the Dice Game during the 1980s ever since the first five-digit car was offered as the "Deluxe Dice Game", however as of 2021, sub-$20K cars are still offered even though its been a much longer timespan. I suspect that with the latest round of inflation, the days of sub-$20K cars on Dice Game may be over by the next model year. Speaking of which, that reveal almost reminds me a bit of the "broken" Dice Game playing in 1983 where each number would be revealed after it was rolled.
A good majority of them yes. I'd say most of my 1993, 1994 and 1997 episodes are. A few are from WRAL-TV and my most recent ones are from CHCH/SUN-TV/OMNI2/CITY-TV in Canada
When Rod Roddy was the announcer; the opening message says 1986-1998: Here it comes! Television most exciting hour of fantastic prizes! 1998-2003: Here it comes! On the Bob Barker studio at CBS in Hollywood! Television most exciting hour of fantastic prizes! But later when Burton Richardson is occasionally PIR's announcer (2001-2003) after Roddy's death all other guest announcers, until Rich Fields arrived, they corrected the opening message: Here it comes! From the Bob Barker studio at CBS in Hollywood! Television's most exciting hour of fantastic prizes! Later since season 38 started the opening message says: Here it comes! From the Bob Barker studio at CBS in Hollywood: It's the Price is Right!
Now CBS has sold their iconic Television City studios. Now the intro is "Here it comes! From the famous Bob Barker Studio in Hollywood, it's The Price Is Right!"
The reason I'm asking is because at the time there was a contestant that won $85,403 for the day. (S)he was the second biggest daytime winner at the time.
Well in the Buy or Sell Game, there was a lady that won with $1500 on the + side also, Gena Lee Nolan was on TPIR during the 94/95 Season when Richard Dawson returned to the Feud and Doug Davidson of The Young and the Restless hosted TNPIR and she went on to do Baywatch which was produced by All American Television and later Pearson Television before Fremantlemedia or should I say Dismantlemedia took over Plus, Janice, Kathleen and Holly along with Rod Roddy will FOREVER be known as the REAL STARS of TPIR
cfto also aired tpir in the GTA around in the late afternoon in the late 80s..i.remember seeing the following updates to the series on canadian tv before cbs aired them..... 1.bob's first white haired episode 2.the updated "superball" pattern big wheel panels (first recall seeing them in may or june of 1988 where cbs didn't show them until the new season start in september) 3.the change of the ticket plug from the beginning to the end of the first showcase showdown....
domirules28 Hey, Domi. When did CFTO stop airing TPIR and when did CHCH pick it up? I knew that CFTO use to air Classic Concentration back in the late 80's but did TPIR air right after during that time?
Alexander James-Palmer: i would say it was around 1990 or so when CHCH picked up TPIR and aired it at 11am like CBS affiliates (WROC which had just switched from NBC to CBS affiliation then) and WIVB stateside....the disadvantage of switching TPIR over to CHCH was that if i recall right CHCH wasn't available in huntsville, wiarton, owen sound, and other cottage country locales in the northern reaches of greater toronto....
+Dan Barker Somewhat yes. She made her debut during the model search in Season 22 and was a full time model for Season 23. I believe she left after that season and another model search had begun for Season 24.
oh yes that's right! I've been searching for that episode myself but there doesn't seem to be anyone in the trading circuit who has a copy. I wonder actually how they got the stats and such for her winnings.
I could do one from CHCH in the near future perhaps. I haven't even gotten around to transfering those episodes onto DVD yet so it may be a while down the road.
Something tells me that Roger had a good talk with Bob after that Dice Game playing, as he basically handed the player the win by changing the rules (the numbers are supposed to be revealed AFTER all the dice have been rolled) as there's no way a repeating 1 would be at the end of a car price.
But if the contestant rolls the correct number, then it’s revealed that it’s the number in that position. She could’ve rolled a 1 instead of that 6 for the 4th number and would’ve immediately been told it was correct, then rolling 2 for the last number would’ve still been obviously higher.
here's what aired in prime time on this date: ABC: My So-Called Life (Father Figures), McKenna (McKenna's Wonder), PrimeTime Live CBS: Due South (repeat), Eye to Eye with Connie Chung Fox: Martin (I've Got Work to Do), Living Single (They've Gotta Have It), New York Undercover (Pilot) NBC: Seinfeld (repeat), The Martin Short Show (Who's Afraid of Turning Fortensky), Seinfeld (repeat), Frasier (repeat), Sweet Justice (Pilot) In late night: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (Thomas Haden Church, Chris Bliss, Will Smith), Late Show with David Letterman (Sandra Bullock, James Carville, Marshall Crenshaw, Robbie Kondor), Late Night with Conan O'Brien (Yasmine Bleeth, Dave Edmunds)
That "Kamra" chick looks like a model or aspiring model. Bob Barker is supposedly 6' 1" and she's nearly as tall as him, plus she has a pretty face and nice figure. I'm guessing she's about 5' 11", making her taller than Janice and Dian, and the same height as Holly.
