Marc Breslow (at 1:00) is the best director of game shows ever!

Bob Barker for President

@johnnyafairbanksak Michael Dimich isn't bad. I consider him "Bart Eskander done right."

@oldertvshowswerebetr They do play the main sounds, like the Come on Down music, the Main theme, and the Big Wheel beeps, but I cannot remember if they played them all.

It doesnt sound like the music we hear on TV is being played in the studio, or else its not audible on this recording. Do they play it in the studio, or is just piped to the recording only, anyone ever been to a taping?

@lakebay972 I agree - thanks to him, Marc got fired by someone that considered him to be his son, Mark Goodson, and after Mark Goodson did that, both he and Marc Breslow were sworn enemies of Bob Barker after he was promoted to EP in 1986 - hellva way to treat a guy, huh?

By the way, TPIR's current director (as of 2011) is Michael Dimich; Rich DiPirro has too many on his plate now including Family Game Night (with Todd Newton and Burton Richardson, who announced on the Doug Davidson TPIR and was one of the sub-announcers after Rod Roddy's death).

@AmericanPride1234 I would vote for him

[lakebay972]

@armymjm too bad Bob Barker didn't like him

For me, 1991-2007 (my golden age of Price is Right) :D
