50 years ago today, on September 4th 1972, CBS aired the very first show of "The Price Is Right" as the current run which became the revival version of the 1956 version hosted by Bill Cullen. The current run version hosted by television's legendary icon and one of my lifelong idols, Bob Barker for 35 years, until 2007, when Drew Carey took over. It quickly became one of the longest-running continuously running network shows in television history, and it still is today!! I have watched that game show for 29 years (from 1993 to the present) ever since the time I was born, and I still love it today!!! I'll never forget the times The Price Is Right gets America go into the morning. There are a lot of game shows we've all enjoyed as a family, but this show is the one. Savoring each spin in the wheel, each Hole In One, and every time, a lucky person gets to "Come On Down"!!! To celebrate the Price Is Right's anniversary week, here's a small report of a newsmagazine called "Instant Recall" back in October of 1990. It tells us about the very first show of TPIR. On behalf of everybody, the biggest fans of the show, Thank you and Congratulations, The Price Is Right!!! Daytime television wouldn't be the same without you.
Happy 50th Anniversary!!!!
