TPIR - Double Bullseye

:40

Pat: *thinking* Oh what a cute car!

Larry: *thinking* That looks like a piece of crap...

Despite its failure, the Australian (1973) and Philippine (2001) versions of the show used Double Bullseye as part of their Showcases.

This is on the DVD in so much better quality, it doesn't even look purple!

And I hope this comment is good; I had to type 5 words to post this!

2,231 dollars, man that was cheep for a new car.

[luigi250]

remember that the game was played in the 1970s, you'd expect it that low, i think it would work to roughly 27k

[schenk12]

the original music was great.....

this game was weird though....

The two contestants playing Double Bullseye in this clip would wind up facing each other again in the Showcase. This clip is on episode 2 on Disc 2 of the Best Of The Price Is Right DVD set

Trivia: The loser of Double Bullseye was still eligible to be in the Showcase round, and at least two pairs of Double Showcase contestants faced off again in the Showcase round. Winning Double Bullseye virtually assured you the Top Winner spot in the Showcase round.

Bullseye I was bad, but this was WORSE!

[robcas123]

but the third version is still playing to this day.

[gameshowguy2000]

"Third" version? If you're talking about Clock Game, that's still being played to this day (and it has similar rules to both Double Bullseye and Bullseye I).

[dexterville]

WOW I think that game show girl did that horror movie

Invasion of the Bee Girls (1973)

[wvoutlaw2002]

Yes. Anitra Ford was in quite a few B-level movies...and she was also in the original "The Longest Yard" as Burt Reynolds' girlfriend.

Actually, Clock Game was NOT the 3rd attempt at zeroing in at the price. Bulls-Eye I was the 1st of the 3 games to debut, then Clock Game was the next game to debut, then 2-player Bulls-Eye (or the official name "Double Bulls-Eye") was the next game to debut. Also, Clock Game was NOT an attempt to duplicate Bulls-Eye I. Even if Bulls-Eye I was not created, Clock Game would have been created.

You know, I was born in 1976 and first saw TPIR in 79'. I tell you what. Seeing a huge, bulky, round-edged wall rotating at a 180 gives me the creeps. That "TURNTABLE" DEFINITELY GAVE ME NIGHTMARES. And the second generation "Bullseye" played the supporting role in the nightmare. That was my "monster in my closet", or something like that.

This was the second attempt in creating a pricing game in which contestants tried to zero in on the price of a prize. The first attempt, known by fans as "Bullseye I," was...well, let's say it wasn't successful. This attempt, also known as "2-Player Bullseye," was also not successful. It wasn't until they debuted the "Clock Game" later that year that it FINALLY took off. The old saying is true--If at first you don't succeeed, try, try again.

[Tubewings]

Actually, the quote if "If at first you don't SUCCEED, try, try again." I must have pressed the "E" key one too many times.

[wildchats]

So this was just an extra 10th person selected to come on down and play a game from the audience and not be in the bidding secton, I take it. How did they do that? Did they draw names before the game actually began, or announced the name before the game started that a specific person would play for a car with a winner on contestant's row?

[trailblazer91]

The Price is Right was a half hour show until 1976, meaning there were only 6 people. If you go to tpir.tv, you will find audio of how they pick the contestants.
