I've watched TPIR since I was a kid...I'm 47 now. I like how on the "older" episodes things weren't "rushed" like they are today. Bob actually took time to talk on air to the people and made them feel welcome. Nowadays with Drew and even before Bob retired it was rush...rush...rush...like, "We need to hurry so we can get to the next commercial". Just like the slower pace and fun of the show from the earlier days.
Kool Hits 1057 Definitely...though the only people heartless to not miss Barker are those stupid insiders who won't STFU about Bob's past dramas. Ugh...
Man watching this when school was out for the summer used to be so much fun and watching match game in the afternoon. Back when game shows ruled daytime television. So much fun memories in the 70s
I’m home sick from work, watching this brings back memories of being home sick from school. Thanks for posting and allowing us to remember the good days of the 70’s.
It would be cool to know if William and his family, especially his kids has seen this episode recently. What a treat to have for the entire family. Those kids are probably in the mid to late '50s by now. 🤔🤔
I doubt you realize what a rarity you’ve been able to share with us Price is Right superfans . The “Finish Line” pricing game was only played for about 6 months in 1978. This is probably one of the last times it was ever played. They got rid of it because the prop kept breaking. Congrats to your dad on the big win!
Wink Martindale has a clip of this price is right challenge on his RU-vid channel played by a female player!! Unfortunately she lost the challenge in that clip!!

First of all, a big thank you to your dad for serving our country. And a major congrats to him for winning all that stuff! Now, us old school TPIR fans owe a big debt of gratitude to you for posting this show. This is the first full TPIR show posted on RU-vid that includes the short-lived pricing game "Finish Line", as well as the ONLY Finish Line WIN posted here! The only other playing of "Finish Line" posted here is an individual losing playing posted by Wink Martindale. Finally, where did you get this video? The picture quality is outstanding!
Whether it is 1978 or 1998, it feels classic. And what’s a TPIR game without a car? Seriously though, the biggest challenge for those who want to play along with these old episodes is that $1 today is worth much less than $1 decades ago.
(2021) - Going on 43 years ago... I was still in high school at that time... Boy, life was sure different then, but that's probably what some were saying back in the day as well...
Niza Pace thanks for the post this is the way Price is right was when I was growing up I miss Bob and the models as well as Johnny Olsen if your dad is alive tell him he can be a contestant on the Price is right with Drew Carey it has been way more then 10 years so your dad could be called on down again. I am 42 years old when this show aired I was 2 I may have even watched this episode and remember Johnny Olsen announcing I have watched Price is right my whole life and you should take your dad back to the Price is right you might become a contestant on the Price is right.
Yes, and somebody recently posted the show he talked about being the biggest bomb: "You're In The Picture" from 1961. He talks about this in his interview with Johnny Carson in 1985.
On "The Price is Right", that closing reminder by Johnny Olson was from Monday, March 7 to Friday, November 4, 1977 and again from Monday, December 12, 1977 to Friday, April 20, 1979.
Johnny Olsen was a great announcer on the Price is Right. Today in 2019, it's George Gray who is the announcer. He's great just like Drew Carey himself!
The thrill of having this pristine piece of memorabilia for yourself and your family! Your dad is charming and Bob looks stunning in his coordinates. Did you ever receive/eat upon that dining table?! :-)
I wasn't even born when this defunct soap opera called "Love of Life" came on right after this show. For those of you have not heard, "Love of Life" ran on CBS from 1951 until 1980 and it was one of the most obscure soap operas to exists. The episodes are on RU-vid. If you have never seen it, check out the intro, followed by the closing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-179JVulMRhk.html
@@Musicradio77Network ... A soap opera that runs on a major network with TPIR as its lead-in, and for a total of 29 seasons, is hardly obscure. I remember it well, myself.
In my hometown Pittsburgh, this episode aired on KDKA-TV (still affiliated with CBS today); in Raleigh/Durham NC, where I live now, this aired on WTVD (now an ABC O&O)

Do you have a shows from November of 1978. My brother and sister vacationing from Philadelphia Pennsylvania saw a taping of the show. Never got picked to come on down!
Where on God's green Earth did you get a slate board introduced episode of the Price is Right from the greatest and rarest year in the show's history? Did you break into the CBS archive?
i didn't know dimi could be a boys name. a very unique moment for your family as it wasn't long after this you had to be 18 to be in the audience. how old was dimi here and how old is dimi today
GSN could have aired this episode as there's no fur coats in it. CLosest thing to an animal product is bacon as a fee item. I think GSN did air episodes of TPIR with meat products as fee items.
Price is right even to this day in 2019 has an audience of just like match game Hollywood sqaures family feud and let's make a deal and Female models and bob barker both game show hosts This is from June 13 1978 Tuesday cbs price is right
And now we know why they went back to Give or Keep.. Finish Line's eggcrates could not stay in sync with the horse. At least Give or Keep doesn't have the risk of mechanical breakdowns..
Not really, the music cue premiered in 1976;, a few months later in July, the show premiered. TPIR used it til 1983, however the last part is still used in Grand Game and was also used on Trivia Trap when a team cut all the wrong answers to a question.
This price is right late 1977 and throughout 1978 and 1st 12 and a half weeks of 1979 cbs has match game family feud Hollywood Sqaures audience jeopardy family feud match game showcases price is right and price is right big whell of fortune enjoy
Hihhihhihhiiii! The floor manager (stage manager) probably didn’t guess that thousands of people will hear that comment 40 yrs later. Nice image quality. Too bad that the time code is visible. This was copied to newer format (Betacam?) directly from the original 2” video tape.
1) How much longer did CBS do mid commercial fee plugs like that? I think I saw episodes the next season that have them leading up to the showcase showdown. 2) Didn't I read someplace that Johnny Olson was an announcer for the Jackie Gleason Show or something along that lines?
By the 1978-79 season, when they re-instituted the commercial break between the Showcases and the ARP reveals, Johnny would then read the Ticket Plug, featuring a shot of someone (or a group) in the audience, followed by, "...and now, here's Bob Barker with our Showcase Showdown!" It was also the time when The Carol Burnett no longer used Studio 33, as the show went off-the-air after 11.5 seasons. When Carol Burnett's show was shared with The Price Is Right, CBS TVC had to raise the amber curtains (with brown CBS 'eye' logos), and erect a multi-colored streamlined panel that hid the orchestra section that performed the improvisational music, as well as Carol's signature theme, "I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together." They would eventually tear down the streamlined panel, erect a new wall with windows, lowered the CBS 'eye' curtains, and the SFX/game operators would then work from where the orchestra performed. Whenever Drew Carey mentions the "Oh mighty sound effects lady," in One Away, Ms. Stones would operate the MIDI keyboard, playing the 'horn' sound effect, informing that the contestant has at least one number right. As for Jackie Gleason, Johnny, being the busy announcer he was, would be flown personally for his weekly live 1950s variety show, chartering a private airplane, from New York City to Miami, where Mr. Gleason did his shows, have him do the audience warm-ups, announce the brunt of the show, thank the audience for coming, and would be immediately flown back, soon after the show was complete, so Johnny could still fulfill his other contractual obligations with Goodson-Todman, announcing "Play Your Hunch," "What's My Line?," and "To Tell The Truth." Mr. Gleason valued his loyal, dedicated work ethic. I wished I could have been as so well-respected where I worked for 16 years, as much as Jackie did for Johnny O!
@@whirliebird74 Not forgetting Johnny's other announcing duties: To Tell The Truth, Match Game, Concentration, Now You See It, Tattletales (82-84), Trebek's Double Dare and substituting on several other shows at times.
@@nizapace212121 Oh gosh... sorry! This is an OUTSTANDING post! It was a lot more fun when they allowed the kids into the studio audience. I forget when they stopped that.
Never seen this episode before. This is the complete episode with the ill-fated "Finish Line", and it was a flop, but it lasted for a few months until they removed it from the pricing game feature. "Finish Line" was a disaster.
