The Price Is Right - Showcase Showdown round (1977)

Here is an example of what the Showcase Showdown round was like in 1977, taken from the same day as the debut of Professor Price. Note the third (or second, depending on how you look at it) generation beep made on the wheel...

Who knows when this show started adding "pricedown" fonts as art cards for winning $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000?

2007, when Drew Carey became host.

I meant to ask when the Barker era started adding "pricedown" fonts.

[RetroWinnipeg]

I think you are mixing up fonts (according to qwizx) since the font prior to October 2007 had a different name. I think it had to be sometime after 1992.

what happened to the green sections?

This is my favorite wheel beep out of all four, with the first one coming in a close second.

[calebdude570]

I. HATE. THE. THIRD. GENERATION. BEEPING.

[Newsjunkie87]

no energy.

[WhatInTheHellO]

@garycalgary They didn't add those until around 1978 or so.

The wheel looks naked without the green sections.

[bankpank]

@garycalgary Green Sections did not come into play until 1980.

The second contestand spinning the wheel looks like Elvis Presley.

[gameshowguy2000]

It says $100 in the Annotation..shouldn't it be $1.00 (or in terms of the money, $1,000)?
