The Price is Right Professor Price debut

[DerAlmighty]

You know, I don't mind this game. It's kinda fun.

[KarlyKom]

I wonder where that game is now... In the basement? Backstage all reined? Or will they bring this game back....

[j215k]

Bob barker had brown hair? I guess ya do learn something new everyday..

[DokiDokiP]

AM radio? OH FUCK YEAH!

[supersaver87]

I am stunned that they included this game in TPIR Decades. Of all the 1970s-era retired games they could've added, I thought they would have gone with something like Finish Line or Mystery Price.

[MichaelBrookham]

Without seeing the rest of this, I have to safely say that the Professor is holding up the wrong finger. He should be holding up the one next to it, right in a mirror, so they could actually see what people thought of the game.

[MrBennetzen]

Now say goodbye to Professor Price!

[Firemanavalos]

good idea to pull the plug on that - the puppet is creepy as hell!

[fattyboomboom54]

TRIVIA questions on the Price is Right?! WTF?

No wonder this didn't last.

It just doesnt fit with the show

[CycloneGU]

Dumbest pricing game ever.

[pika23]

Did you all notice the person behind the set controlling the puppet? They are wearing white...and trying to squeeze out of the camera view...

[samus7321]

Well somebody was stoned when they thought if this game.

[notundercovercop327]

I think the game would work if they voided the trivia aspect and just asked questions about the car price. It would work now as most cars are 5 digit prices.

[gshowguy]

WTF?!

[caholla]

Three little letters explain this game -- LSD

[wickedfeylady]

AAAAAAAAAAARRGHGHRHRH WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ABOMINATION? The owl is cute but um....BOB PICK UP A GOLF CLUB AND KILL IT

[sup3rphi1]

@wickedfeylady

hehe - happy gilmore...

rofl

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

Professor Price looks like Jeeves with a misshapen head, glasses, and an old person haircut. Oh, and giant caterpillars above his eyes.

[Pyrotech56]

Game is haunted at 5:32, you can tell the cameraman loved it with the close ups!

[StarFighters76]

You know, I can only imagine what would happen if that mechanical dummy malfunctioned when showing the correct responses lol >_>

[scottof83]

Professor Prices looks like the Pringles mascot.

[MikeTeaveeJr]

If Prof. Price were revived today, I'd be thrilled to see Drew introduce himself to him, explaining that Bob retired in 2007 and that he was a student at Rhodes HS when PP was introduced.

[hdayejr]

lmao Bacon, I'm sure Bob would flip him off in return

[Robocheeseball701]

I am partial to the owl.

[germanname1990]

I notice a lot of people gave negative reviews for this game, but I find it rather interesting in the fact that there's trivia involved here.

[georgef551]

I believe "Double Digits" may be the shortest-lived pricing game, with a mere 1 play.

[supersaver87]

@georgef551

Double Digits was played five times...it's just that only one of those playings aired on GSN.

[georgef551]

@supersaver87

Okay.

That's still 4 more times than "Bullseye I" deserved.

[srf1969]

I think that this is a stupid game. The professor looked like a stuffed doll and the owl is stuffed as well. I don't think the professor does NOT know what he is doing.  What a stupid game they were playing.

[TKnHappyNess]

I can see why they retired this thing. If you want a quiz show, go to Jeopardy

[TelephoneRock4ever]

All of those general knowledge questions for a freakin' $4800 car?! No wonder they retired Professor Price so soon!

I wish I could have a $4800 Chevy. Only in my dreams does that happen.

[jhillst]

Wow, I wish *I* could win a car by answering three questions that a fifth-grader could answer.

[ltjbadboy28]

HAHA Professor Price has a hand up his ass!!!

[robcas123]

this game sucks ass

[jeopardy60611]

This game should have been on Truth or Consequences!

[ReturnofLatinPupE]

At 1:50 you can see the stage hand manipulating Professor Price in the back. He also looks similar to the Mr. Price, Peter Brady's science teacher.

[jeopardy60611]

@ReturnofLatinPupE I was thinking about the Brady Bunch reference when I brought up this video, but you already commented on it. They got the idea from Jan Brady (or was it Marcia?) making a puppet of Mr. Price.

Peter: A "D"--a big fat "D"!

[skins2717]

That professor looks like a serial killer! No wonder this game was retired!

[weirdalfan1980]

I laugh if the professor sticks the bird up as a malfunction. $4800 car, In my dreams today!

[GamerUnleashed]

old epiosode. I would have loled if the dude was like "HOLY CRAP DIE!DIE!"  and messed up the game

[smashwhammy]

That's why he had only 4 fingers per hand

[onenonlyprincess2]

that professor scares me. I fear that it's going to come alive and hurt somebody

[slunacourtier]

I wish they would have kept it, but at least had a voiceover for the professor.

[bradhig]

anyone have a clip of the shower game?

[jackbauer6543]

Wow, that professor creeps me out. I'm glad they got rid of it.

Worst. Pricing. Game. Ever.

[TheSubstituteGnome]

What the hell is this?

[tasteslikewater]

Wow that was kinda cool. Shoulda kept it on longer

[ThaduisMallowmare]

omg what a boring game.

[David9788]

@ThaduisMallowmare this game was only played twice and this game is featured on price is right decades game

[rrunner81sg]

The rest of this episode was great! All 6 pricing games were won...which includes a rare Grocery game won for a car (the lady who won the car quit her job right after)!

[FRANK172]

Very Good Clip!

[gfalcon]

You know you've got pricing game gold on your hands when an audience laughs at it upon seeing it for the first time.

[WSBT960]

oh please!

[seebehindmyeyes]

did james win the showcase?

[oldzac87]

I know he won the showcase showdown but I can't remember if he won the showcase.

[Hondo20132]

SCSD1 was up here; I don't know if it still is.

[DrLove0378]

I'd particularly like to see the second (and last) Professor Price playing...

[davidlee110]

there is dude behind the per... price

[the69chevykid]

Well the only good parts of this game are "Pomp & Circumstance" & the fact that James did win the car (furthermore it was retired with a perfect win/loss record - 2/2).

[JMFabianoRPL]

Oooooooh yeah, Professor Madness running wild, DIG IT?

[baconhead2008]

What if "professor price" stick his middle finger first to keep track how many questions they had gotten right or wrong.

[btn2271984]

Since the Professor only had four fingers (or three fingers and a thumb), it couldn't happen lol.

[JamieWWE]

that was the crappiest game ever lol..I am glad they got rid of it

[TJ665]

The producers must have thought about that since Professor Price only had four fingers! LOL

[GameShowNetwork]

5:33 - REACHING IN THE AIR!

[soxfan2k4]

Quite possibly the worst game in the history of TPIR. And that says alot considering the number of flops the show churned out: Split Decision, On The Spot, etc......

[mitmfan]

What was wrong about those games? Granted they weren't the best games ever but they weren't that bad either.

[c3section]

it was short lived because it was more trivia based which turned many people away. It was only played twice within a week before retired

[mitmfan]

Would anybody happen to have the second and final playing of this game?

[btn2271984]

I really doubt it. The 2nd playing was never aired on GSN.

[mitmfan]

The premiere episode wasn't shown on GSN either, but there are clips from that episode. How is that episode and the episode in question different?

[freeek04]

it probably exists but just hasn't aired. All TPIR episodes exist to my knowledge, but only episodes that did NOT offer furs were cleared to air on GSN.

[mitmfan]

That doesn't answer my question.

The premiere episode has a fur coat; therefore, it wasn't aired on GSN. However, clips from that episode appear here on YouTube. The final playing of Professor Price wasn't aired on GSN, so it would seem like clips could also appear here. We have two episodes which aren't aired on GSN. However, one show has clips posted here and the other doesn't. To me, it seems like both shows could have clips here despite both not airing on GSN.

[freeek04]

very few people would have them, but it seems like some people have original tapes. Therefore they COULD have the clips, because all episodes exist to my knowledge. I just don't know anyone who does.

[c3section]

the next playing would result in a loss. Wikipedia said that in its two playings, it had an even win record of 1-1

[mitmfan]

That is false. Professor Price had a perfect win record 2-0. It was the only game besides Double Bulls-Eye which had a 100% win rate. However, in this game, it was possible to lose the game.

[mitmfan]

I went to Wikipedia, and it does not say that nor did it ever say that.

[c3section]

it once said its win record. Wikipedia is always changing the articles!

[mitmfan]

I checked the history of the page, and I don't recall seeing that misinformation.

[hockeybagged]

The Professor showed up on eBay a few years back :)

[mitmfan]

...under the name of Mr. Wiggles, I believe.
