I loved the unique items that were a regular part of this show, like the acrobatic mechanical poodle, and, of course, in this episode, the Cleenmobile, not to mention the Miss America bonus. There are two game show/staff announcers who have been amazingly at what they do for an amazingly long time. Pardo would continue to work for NBC for another half century! The other legendary announcer, still at it after 64 years in the business, is, of course, Johnny Gilbert. We will never forget these voices.

I thought that the price is Right was in color in the late 50's early 60's on NBC. I remember the NBC Peacock opening at the start. It's an early memory, around 5-6 years old, sitting on the kitchen floor at my Grandmother's house. For some weird reason she had a large console TV in her kitchen. BWT, my favorite part of these Price is Right's on KZfaq is Don Pardo's narration at the beginning and end of the program. The amount of audience noise seems purposely amplified. I say purposely, since, it appears to be that way for all the episodes on YT. Really cool!

@frankroper282 8 жыл бұрын

+Joe Ray The NBC shows were in color, but the 2 inch reel to reel videotapes were reused. You are seeing a kinescope - a 16mm black and white FILM made by aiming a movie camera at a monitor. The sound has no dynamic range because of an automatic gain control Search for Let's Make a Deal - 1963 Pilot to see how these NBC game shows looked when broadcast.

@7karlheinz 8 жыл бұрын

2" videotape in 1950's? I assumed a kinescope was made directly from the live broadcasts. The opening theme music vs. audience noise seems to be part of the mix, not a "dynamic range" issue.

NBC never had the prize limits that the other networks had. Also, to my knowledge, the original "Price is Right" never had limits on either network, so players could continue to win as much as they could as long as they kept winning.

One of the winners on a different episode was a Mr. Benjamin Seigal of Brooklyn, before he moved to Vegas? Some of those prizes were substantial enough to be life changing, like a business or a house, even a new car for free would be cool. (Not that I mind working for what I got!) Did anybody ever wrote a book about the show? Don Pardo also use to be the announcer on "Rowan and Martin's Laugh In" The sum total of the give aways would be interesting.

Think things are expensive? That first prize cost over $16,000 in 2021 dollars. How much would it cost to get a color TV with remote, a record player and stereo tuner today? $16,000? Hardly. I remember my father saving up for ten years to get a good stereo system that he dreamed about. Then again, back in 1963, such equipment was probably made in America by well-paid American workers, who still had jobs doing such things. Today, American workers get to sell foreign-made TV's etc. at Wal-Mart or load them on to trucks at an amazon warehouse. Whoopee for them, eh? Loved this show as a kid and love it now. The new TPIR has its charms too. It's just so different, that it can't be compared to this old version, especially the prime time show. Bill Cullen was the best. While he was witty, he never tried to upstage the contestants. The perfect host. I wish that every episode of Cullen's TPIR had been preserved.

Usually the television season would start the week of--or the week after--Labor Day. Daytime shows were most often live in the beginning, but as videotaping became more feasible, a number of shows were "pre-recorded: (usually a tag at the end of the show would say as much). By the 1970s, only a handful of soap operas were ever done live--I remember "The Edge of Night" would preface a few of its shows with "...and now, PRESENTED LIVE, 'The Edge of Night!'"
