Unfortunately we'll never see this on TV again because of the fur. Just as we'll never see a lot of 50's shows on TV again because they were sponsored by cigarette companies.
Good question. But at the same time, you don't want Bob up in arms on an issue like that...which explains why THIS episode, the 1972 premiere, and others didn't make it to the DVD set that came out a couple weeks ago.
At least Bob knows how to multiply and add. Most young people today are lost if the computerized cash register breaks down. Just try finding someone under 30 who knows how to "make change" without the help of the cash register.
At least the cash register should change with the times, just like the game. (Who uses those old-fashioned cash registers these days other than TPIR?)
@pricemodel1983 The pattern is called "flamestitch" and was a popular print back then--an old favorite from 16th century tapestry. My mom had a couch upholstered in this print and I always thought it looked like Charlie Brown's shirt.
As I sit here contemplating life in general I am forced to wonder out loud....."Why did I just watch this?".

Understandably so,but why the younger generation or the folks that wanna see it again for nostalgic purposes gotta miss out on it because of that?

Exactly. That's why Bob doesn't want GSN to air any of these shows. He wants to make sure they never see the light of day again.

You think they use the Contestants' Row display in case the cash register doesn't work?

Ahh, yes. Another "Price", another Zinman... one of Bob biggest regrets indeed!

And the reason why is pretty clear: Bob hates those fur coats.

Yeah, those were the good old days, before all that politically correct bullshit we have to put up with now . . .
