Price is Right '75 part 1

[iloveretro78]

Noticed back then that no one got the $500 cash bonus for getting the exact price on the bid to get up on stage. When did they start doing that? I don't quite remember when.

[TDudley1995]

From what I've read, this episode was a replacement. The show originally scheduled to rerun was #0153D from December 13, 1972, but was assumed to be replaced because the showcase winner was $209 away, which may confuse some people who wonder why it wasn't a Double Showcase win.

[269848]

I originally taped this and unfortunately lost it when I converted it to disc. I also stupidly threw the tape out. Bummer!!!

[collegegal79]

i wasnt born yet not till 79 this is great love these old shows

[zabadazidit]

Bob was jogging on out himself 35 years ago.

[farrboy2361]

great job

[mackbee628]

I like the music they played for when a new contestant came on down to Contestants' Row or went on stage. When did they change it to the music they have now?

[GSNSmashFan3]

@mackbee628

Early 1976.

[zabadazidit]

@mackbee628 : I don't know when they changed the music, but all the theme music for TPIR was done by Sheila Cole. The music they used in 1975 to call people to "c'mon down" was called "Walking" by Sheila Cole.

[bambam2124]

@zabadazidit the music changed in 76

[queefbreeze]

Van de Kamps fish sticks are ok

[tdickensheets]

We will miss Johhy Oldson!

[micmac99]

I've gotten used to Drew and I even thought that house band was cool...but sometimes I gotta go back to the "old school!"

[WheelWatcher12345]

You live in Dallas?

[reymatt76]

April is quite frankly one of the best Clock Game players I've seen. She had no idea what the prices were yet won both by staying focused and not getting nervous.

[Jako32]

wow! did styles majorly change like 10000% from just '75-'85. looks more like a 20 year difference than just 10 lol. however '85-'95, and especially 2000-2010 - you really dont see "that" big of a difference.

[SHAUNERDANIEL]

@Jako32. The style have changed over the years... I think since 2000's to now, its that people created there own style and intertwined with fashion...

[DeLaDank]

I wonder if the first contestant still has that stereo with the 8track...LOL

[somewhatlongdong]

notice how much thinner the audience is compared to the audiences today?

[sarahthediva]

I like the way that black girl squeaks "HI!"

[sarahthediva]

The Mobile Home I am living in is from 1975 LOL

[ideniseb]

Oh the flood of memories this delivers!

I didn't really realize just how good I had

things as a kid!

This is giving me a chance to relive what I missed and a chance to reflect so much more!

[Lilyankee2424]

its funny there faces when they find out they win compared to now

[beejm90]

Damn, Bob looks so much younger here.

[primetime2808]

yeah u can tell the dollar has went to shit.34 years later everything now is in the thousands...

[dcat918]

Bob's doin fine still banging his beauties too.

[XMarioxPeachX]

big hair

[travis7310]

When did they start giving the $1000 for getting both prizes before time ran out?

[leandar]

Late 90's, early 2000's, I think.

[travis7310]

Thank you!

[leandar]

Welcome!

[MCL21]

Its funny those first few years Bob would run out to the stage in the beginning of the show.

[travis7310]

Then he just started walking when the hour shows started.

[espandya]

that second girl makes ellen degeneres expressions when they show her the prizes at first!

[ylle55]

a trip to Hawaii worth $839??? how time has changed

[canbac21]

Oooh! Vintage pricing game! (Keep or Give)

[vanillalugia1995]

wow. just wow. 1975, this was? everybody's so mature and polite on this episode. and that song at approx. 1:01, i will always be humming that song. believe me.

[canbac21]

Ah, "The Cats" cue! Yeah I agree with you.

[tgt85dc]

No, that's NOT the Cats cue. Check out the Price is Right music sites - the Cats is different. This cue comes from a "family" of cues, whose predominant cue is Cue 19 (more strings/brass than the cut heard at 1:01).

[archona4]

Well, you know, Discipline during childhood, which includes a spanking, really does a lot for that type of behaviour later on.

Too bad the idiots in charge now think it's 'bad' to discipline your kids.

[schenk12]

classic price is right was the effin best..wish it would air on gsn...

[alyr315]

Yeah GSN has become a "spectacle" of a game show channel. Airing those new "remixes" of those classics, such as press your luck, $50,000 Pyramid, Family Feud, etc. Those new remixes are a chaos of "glamor and color decor" it doesnt even make sense anymore. No more of this "cosy" 70's and 80's game show atmospheres. It would be nice if we can purchase a DVD set with EVERY SINGLE EPISODE of TPIR from day 1 to until the late 90z, since after then the show became shit.

[smokes2468]

I wasn't around back then but I am impressed with the show then. The contestants are very mature about the game. Everybody is well dressed.

[travis7310]

Unlike today, where everyone acts like little kids and dresses however they want without even caring how they look.

[OnTheRun167]

This is back when people actually bid and didn't bid a dollar over someone else or bid a dollar total.

[directorbeau]

@OnTheRun167

its called strategy

[GSNSmashFan3]

@OnTheRun167

Not true. I've seen 1973 episodes where they bid a dollar over someone else.

[FlavioGirl]

@OnTheRun167 well during the early years they actually did that.

[zaius316]

Guess they hadn't created the bonus for getting the amount exactly right yet.

[coolwafferman]

Those were the days!

[Powerjohn110]

what year the bid sceerm turn into color

red,bloo,ornage,green

[gsn93]

August, 1975 Also the first episode of Golden Road.

[friendly76]

Most of the audience (and contestants) were female back then!

[Dudejerome]

Wow, I noticed the doors slowly open. How is that, from now it's faster? :o

[MysticArksRevenge]

I think they should bring back this old set from 1972 to 1976. I just do not like what the new set looks like now.

[lcascio313g]

thats one sweet trailer

[jwallbanger]

wow the show hasn't changed at all in 30+ years. except bob barkinghead was running out on stage back then, now he's sitting in a wheelchair being fed mashed carrots in a nursing home somewhere, pondering his amazing legacy.

[travis7310]

He's not in a nursing home. He's not an invalid. He's perfectly capable of doing the same things he could do then. He could still kick Adam Sandler's ass! lol!

[DENNISPUPPY]

that scene with him and Sandler was hillarious

[travis7310]

Yes, it certainly was!

[retroguy1976]

@travis7310 he was just in a state farm commercial I dunno why ppl think that he died very false info by those

[dcbandnerd]

I kind of like the cue they used for the Hawaii trip. Does anyone know what it's called?

[Ponch808]

Cheryl obviously went for the Carol Brady (Brady Bunch) look.

[scoopster6619]

$250.00 now filling landfills eveywhere

[mitmfan]

When Cheryl bid $350, it sounded as if she was scared to bid that.

[shoofirbin]

great shot of bob as they go to commercial and the clock game spins away on the turntable.

[disneyfan81]

Yeah, I remember really liking it when the clock hand flipped back to zero.

[drummerbraves]

April got the stereo exactly right. In case you were wondering why she didn't get money for her perfect bid, when The Price Is Right went to an hour in the fall of 1975, they started with the $100 (later $500) for a perfect bid.

Trips were cheap back in 1975.

[mitmfan]

Actually, the $100 bonus didn't start until about May 1977 (near the end of Season 5).

[maclellan07]

bob barker was the shit.

drew carey will probably do better than anyone else.

[eduardo002]

You mean Bob Barker was the BOMB, right?

[Paulywint]

I have this episode on tape

[WC1278]

Bob was already dope as hell, but after Happy Gilmore and hearing him call Adam "bitch", I loved him even more! LOL!

[dcbandnerd]

I kinda like the old school "prize" music. A lot of them had good basslines, nice drum grooves, and catchy melodies. Anyway, we're going to miss you, Bob.

[davemock]

Note that some of the old-school prize music from '72 was rolled in all through the Barker reign. Score Productions could come up with some great tunes.

[tine214]

Gotta agree with you there. I want to say that the intro music (CALLIN THE CONTESTANTS)had a kickin base. Shame they didnt leave it. Still miss Bob Barker

[shadow2777]

me to.

[Adamdude111]

I miss Bob Barker already.

[Julius121081]

Me too. I hope a woman not Rosie O Donnell will get to host this show

[realaudio2007]

Me too....Someone like Kathy Griffin....LOVE HER!

[lilyitch]

Rosie is not going to host the price is right.

[retroguy1976]

drew carey will be the host now I think he will do well I hope they dont change the set or the theme around

[tine214]

Seems from what Ive watched of Drew, he's kept it strong. Besides the fact the demographics of the audience are now college-frat-boys-military types, then its a good fit that'll keep the show going.

[shadow2777]

actually the set and the theme had changed

[Skibibbles]

VERY LOUD!!!

[OA276]

nothing he could do bout it

[updownturnaround]

Awsome! I have this uploaded too! This was a good episode.
