AND, a 30-year-old precursor to the fashion-filled prizes that would adorn The Price Is Right, hosted by Drew Carey today, such as Burberry coats, Christian Loubetin heels, and Marc Jacobs handbags!

Not a surprise, since they were both Goodson/Todman shows.

@@hotwax9376 Plus most Mark Goodson game shows used Score Productions...with a few exceptions such as Now You See It which used for the most part Quincy Jones and Chump Change.

Right?? I almost forgot which game show I was watching! 😄

@@hotwax9376 yeah it’s not stealing 😂😂

@@donmccullen1973 Blockbusters ('80-'82) had Bob Colbert (Dark Shadows, Chain Reaction, Jackpot!, $25,000/$100,000 Pyramid) provided the music score.

RIP Dennis James & Betty White.

@@markheying2830 Betty White was a *BABE* in the 1950s.

I hope you kept the cotton mill down south! If this show goes like the others, you're out of work come January!

Can you imagine being Johnny Olsen doing the nighttime edition of The Price is Right from 1972-80? You want to catch your breathe while contestant makes a bid.

jim hatten Me too. 30 mph and goes 50 miles without having to recharge.

And Marie, her Clapping Hands, her Nametag, her Smile & her Nose have some sweet winning her Prizes together company!

They also use the theme song for the old Match Game Hollywood Squares hour for car giveaway music

James Bonnen That replaced the other.

SuperPat88 They used it again for Race Game.

Right up into the early '80s.

Weird but it sounded great!!! Very lively!! Plus, the host was really terrific. Puts Drew Carey to shame, imo...

Anitra Ford also appeared on an episode of the ABC prime time crime drama series "Starsky & Hutch".

HELLO WISCONSIN!

Janice, Anitra and Dian were all eye candy for boys of that age; TPIR always has the beautiful models! :)

@@JasonDelarosa2000 To this day, I miss those days. They were fantastic models.

@@snake9911 Now we got that are still beautiful (but to you, not as good) like Manuela Arbelaez, Amber Lancaster and Rachel Reynolds.

@@JasonDelarosa2000 What they have now, the female models are smokin hot. Especially Rachael. I think about today's female models also. If you want to know ok.

@@JasonDelarosa2000 Janice, Dian, and Anitra were eye candy for boys if any age. I was heart broken at first when Anitra left and Holly replaced her but after she joined she became a favorite of mine.

Cody Lewis Check out one of the other clips, a ton of FOOD in the showcase too!

No. "The Price Is Right" was on Saturday nights at 7:30 pm on WNBC (NBC 4) until it moved to CBS 2 (WCBS) at the end of the run.

And in KY, the nighttime TPIR aired on WKYT in Lexington every Wednesday night at 7:30pm and on WLKY in Louisville every Friday night at 7:30pm.

We had KTRK - ABC Channel 13 in Houston, TX all 8 seasons.

Why was Dennis replaced?

Contract not renewed.

***** They got one of the very first downsized 1977 Chevrolets off the line, it seems...

@@tomservo56954 And The 1977 Full Size GM Cars Wouldn't Be Released Until September 30th That Year.

@@300zxbear2 That doesn't mean they couldn't have one for an episode that wouldn't air until that time

@@tomservo56954 Watching this 1976 episode and the cars from the 1975 episodes, I could tell the car manufacturers were making the cars 'boxier' and less streamlined. Strange world we live in when streamlined and wide-track cars fell out of favor to boxy cars, and they would have their 'Renaissance' in the 1990s and beyond!

@@whirliebird74 Boxier meant more room in less length...and by that time all cars were developed using wind tunnel testing. Some cars you'd call boxy were surprisingly streamlined, in the sense of their relatively low wind resistance.

+john ford I love Anitra Ford. One of my all time faves. Shame she couldn't stay around a little longer.

Nothing against Anitra Ford, but I think Holly Hallstrom just can't be beat.

@@meyerj75 I respect Anitra, but I grew up watching Holly.

As Range Game has gotten popular as a pricing game, Bob Barker has told contestants not to press the stop button if they aren't sure of the price "because we can't start the rangefinder for 37 hours".

I always wondered that too. Why GSN never aired the 195 episodes Dennis James hosted. He wasn't the one that banned animal fur coats. That honor belongs to Bob Barker, like he owns the show or something. Some people never learn. If I worked for GSN at the time, I would force the Dennis James hosted eps to air against Bob's wishes as long as Bob is not around when animal fur coats are used as prizes.

Dan Barker I am visualizing what the rest of Sprint Waltz would sound like with a trumpet lead, and it sounds awesome.

Dan Barker Splendido! being looped (almost twice) for the first massive clothing showcase would also not have happened on the daytime show.

And, the theme from Family Feud was used twice in the first two pricing games!

The FF theme was used for cars on the daytime version as well, through the early 80s.

Ah, but we DO hear the ending of it to this day whenever the "Grand Game" starts.

Dennis James himself recorded this from its original broadcast (same story goes for the other James TPIR episodes here), and Dennis' son Brad gave the tapes to Stu to transfer and post here.

Also by the host too 😜

Daytime started as a half hour. It became an hour in 1975.

Is that episode posted?

So.....did she still have the wall unit while she was your mother in law?

+SuperPat88 Yeah. It plays pretty awkwardly though.

It wasn’t too popular or successful.

The 4th edition came out in 1986, and the 5th in 1998.

multiple! the most recent one is from 2000, and it does a pretty decent job of replicating some of the games.

The original version of TPIR hosted by Bill Cullen (NBC/ABC, 1956-65) had a boardgame too.

+rob mush Family Feud is from Goodson/Todman Productions and performed by Score Productions. They have rights for using other G-T cues like Family Feud, Concentration, and Match Game/Hollywood Squares.

Not all games used the losing horns, there were some that did and others that did not. Range Game as far as I know only used them if it was played for a car and lost. And yes there were two different buzzer sounds, one the tenor buzzer usually for wrong guesses, losses on certain pricing games, as well as a multi-buzz for an overbid in Contestants' Row, and the bass buzzer (foghorn) for other pricing game losses, pulling out a strike in 3 Strikes, time's up sound on some games, Showcase Showdown and the Showcase when you go over among others. Sometimes on certain pricing games they would use both sounds interchangeably for losses especially during the late 80s/early 90s.

Spike Riley I remember that one. Dennis James yells "There Goes Fritz" as the mountain climber falls off the cliff unaware that it was the name of Janice Pennington's boyfriend whom disappeared while mountain climbing. After that, she went backstage crying through the rest of the show. That broke his heart as he never hosted another game show since 1977.

meyerj75 Sometimes such stuff can do that to you. You say things that can hurt people while being unaware as to why.

+meyerj75 I doubt that was the reason he never hosted another game show.

+Spike Riley I am guilty of that.

Oh my God... I KNOW that wasn't on purpose.

True Value used to be a kind of small-town Sears.

Dan Barker Yeah, it's kinda unfortunate. These nighttime shows should have went on a lot longer.

Bob Barker took over the night time until 1980 when it ended.

I'm guessing he wanted to focus more on his charity work helping kids with cerebral palsy and that he was an avid golfer at the time. (He purchased a golf course in Palm Springs around 1980) He was probably expecting to retire from TPIR after season 5 anyways as neither him, nor Mark Goodson knew the nighttime version would last longer up to season 8 in 1980.

No. He did "The Name's The Same" on ABC in the 1955, "Judge For Yourself" as announcer.

Bob offered furs too up through 81 or so, only banned them after Dorothy Jo died and he took up her animal rights cause. First IUFB ever daytime was a fur coat actually.

+Dan Barker Anitra's last daytime show was on December 28, 1976. This nighttime episode was taped in September of 1976 and aired in December, 1976.

+Heidi Mountain She was seen into 1977 on the show, so that's probably why some people think she was there into 1977.

She was probably on the nighttime version in some episodes that aired in 1977. Holly had replaced her on the nighttime version eventually.

She was replaced by Holly Hallstrom. a former Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader and model for Vogue magazine.

In December 1974, Dennis James emceed the daytime "Price Is Right" on CBS as a fill-in for Bob Barker, who was ill.

Both were offered to host "The Joker's Wild" in 1972, but turned it down as they insisted Jack Barry should do it as every game show emcee active at the time was very supportive for Jack after all he's been through since the quiz show scandals.

They can't. Several reasons why.

I think it's because CBS Media Ventures own the library of the 70s syndicated version when it was originally distributed by Viacom at the time.

16:24 Pay attention to one of the prizes in the showcase, you’ll see why you’ll never see any nighttime TPIR episodes on BUZZR.

Overall neither CBS or Fremantle will give BUZzR permission due to honoring Bob Barker's request because of the situation with the health of the pet population..

​@@angrybirdsfan2003Only the Tom Kennedy shows could be shown on Buzzr.

Paul Duca That was the following season (1977-78).

Bob Barker hosted the daytime version on CBS from its start in 1972 until his retirement in 2007. Dennis James hosted this syndicated evening version until the 1977-78 season. I suspect the reason for replacing Dennis with Bob had to do with the infamous "There goes Fritz" incident during Cliffhangers. (If you aren't familiar with it, I can explain it to you.)

Dennis was replaced when the NBC-owned stations dropped the show and it was picked up by the CBS-owned stations. As they had in 1972, CBS brass wanted Barker on this version. He was available as Truth or Consequences had ended the season before. Since the future of this syndicated version hinged on clearing the show in the large markets where the network owned affiliates, CBS got what it wanted.

From the start Mark Goodson wanted Dennis James to host the CBS Daytime version of "The New Price Is Right" originally but he was overruled by Bud Grant who was the head of Daytime Programming at CBS who wanted Bob Barker to host instead. So Bob Barker got the hosting job on the CBS daytime version of "The New Price Is Right" while Dennis James got the hosting job on the weekly nighttime syndicated version of "The New Price Is Right".

@@hotwax9376 Dennis James would have planned on retiring after the fifth season anyways as both him and Mark Goodson assumed that the nighttime PIR would last that long. But ratings were good enough to last an additional three more years and that James wanted to focus more on his charity work helping kids with cerebral palsy and that he was an avid golfer at the time (He brought a golf course in Palm Springs in 1980). The "There Goes Fritz" myth was later believed to be hype.

And they even sounded the buzzer on that and I don't know if that was an error or a post-production thing.

@@graigmellon7874 Even that buzzer on the 4 had a "no-time" segment left.

He was the host of Okay Mother on DuMont and was a commentator for professional wrestling on that network back in those days.

@@Jose0421 DuMont was Fox's ancestor

+Dan Barker The perfect bid bonus of $500 was introduced when Tom Kennedy hosted the nighttime show in 1984-85.

I mean the original Nighttime TPIR when Bob Barker took over.

+Mark Schildberg And it wouldn't be until 1998 when that was finally carried over to the daytime show.

the girl bid $ 650 a perfect bid and no cash ? cheap bastards

+Dan Barker The bonus for being exactly right started before the 1980's. It was initially $100.

I guess Mark Goodson was really trying to promote Family Feud back then. The show was just about to become a real smash hit over at ABC.

I thought I was watching family feud

+Adam Smith Well, technically, we still hear the Family Feud, just for Grand Game

+Adam Smith Actually the Feud theme was meant as a cue for TPIR first. They just discovered it worked better for Family Feud and composed a whole package around it for the show. The Feud theme was used on TPIR as a cue until about 1981 or 2.

The last 15 seconds.

SuperPat88 They didn't have the bonus back then. That came in 1977, and to my knowledge, this syndicated version of TPIR never had that perfect bid bonus.

Tubewings No irrefutable proof that the One Bid bonus was nonexistent in the original syndicated version. Especially since the bonus was a mere $100.

@@NickCMedia It'd be interesting to know if Barker's part of the run is when it started. There's next to nothing outside of the last episode of that 3 years, so it could well have existed there, especially if 77 was when the daytime show adopted it.

ajk It most likely started when the daytime version adopted it.

@@NickCMedia Yeah that would make the most sense.

He does have a Jersey feel haha

That's his hosting style. He's Al Bundy of Married With Children addicted to too much 5 hour energy drink bottles.
