The Price Is Right: 9/7/72, Part 4

The final part sees the Showcases, and the reason why this episode was not included on the DVD set: the fur coat offered in the second Showcase.

BCI (the company making the DVD set) tried to negotiate with Bob Barker to get shows with fur coats included. They offered to donate a portion of the DVD sales to an animal charity, or make an anti-cruelty PSA. Bob refused both offers.

Commercials in this final part are for the Renuzit Fresh-O-Matic and Vanish cleaner.

This is the only time they didn't reveal both showcases actual retail price.

I know! Aside from minor color changes over the year, the set looked just the same as it does here right up to 2007, then it went all downhill with its new look!

Did I miss something? Why didn't they spin the wheel? They sure liked to sell the booze then. WOW! A dead animal! I wonder how amny of them were murdered for that coat. And the screams of delight throughout the audience. EEEWWW! I bet Vanish had acid in it OH GOODY! Pearlene won the sacrificed animals.

and of course by Johnny saying "Stay tuned now for Gambit, on most of these stations!"

Awesome!! Can you imagine that Vanish advert on tv these days?? If you tube still did stars, I'd give you ten!!

I really wish Bob would've let this episode, along with the first episode, to be on the DVD set. He seems to be real stubborn when it comes to fur coats and The Price Is Right. I guess he's trying to protect his image and promote animal rights as much as possible

The one who won her showcase. Her showcase is actaully worth $2,320 a difference of $1,820

[TheRetro64]

Wouldn't it be funny if Bob Barker went to Pearline and said to her "Pearline the actual retail price of your showcase is...$499!"

[hdayejr]

I wonder how much of that was consumed by Bob and the crew after the show? :D

[harvsoul]

@RingtailStudios Oh, My bad. I rewatched this is double checked my scores and you are indeed right.

[RadioMan1230AM]

This is the ONLY episode where they did not reveal the ARP of both showcases. Probably another reason that this episode was removed from the DVD set. Imagine if this were to happen today... there would be investigations and Congressional reviews of all game shows, perhaps the end of TV game shows? Who knows?
