The Price is Right Professor Price premiere
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 май 2008
- The premiere playing of the retired game Professor Price. The first of only two playings of this game, which is the shortest lived game in TPiR history. After you watch this video you'll see why this game was axed quickly.

They need to bring an adapted version of this game back once a year for a Halloween episode.
If Prof. Price were revived today, I'd be thrilled to see Drew introduce himself to him, explaining that Bob retired in 2007 and that he was a student at Rhodes HS when PP was introduced.
Only two people played this game in history. What is more shocking was that both won.
This is, the unloseable pricing game.
witherblaze Yes, because even if you're as terrible as this guy was at pricing things, you can still win the car just by answering 3 super easy trivia questions.
where is the second winner?
@@justincastillogayray The episode with the second playing isn't on the trading circuit. Here's a text recap from an ex-staff member who managed to watch it:

(Ironically, Bob threw to commercial after PP by saying he thought the Professor would become a very popular fellow)
Imagine if there was a malfunction that caused Price to give the middle finger...
+BikerBoyNJ Yeah, there was a joke going around at the time about that.
+BikerBoyNJ He only has 4 fingers "Thumb, Index, Ring, and Pinky"
Ian V. Raybeck that would be HILARIOUS!!!
Easily the biggest problem with this game was how much it goes against the spirit of the Price is Right. Whether you actually knew the price or not had no consequence towards success, just as long as you answered the trivia questions correctly.
Besides the poor pacing, the odd game play and the creepy puppet, the absolute worst part of this pricing game is that it forbid any audience participation - which really gives literally every other part of the show its energy.
True but at least Clock Game is fast paced and exciting to watch. Ditto with Race Game and Bonkers.
Race Game is an exciting game
*cough* *cough* CLOCK GAME *cough* *cough* *cough*
@@somerandomgameranimator4481 Yeah, you're right. I forgot about clock game. But it moves so fast and is fairly exciting so it gets a pass on the no audience rule, in my opinion.
Hole in One (or Two).
I can see why this pricing game was retired after just two playings.
After retiring from Price, the Professor went on to become a robot at Chuck E. Cheese.
Professor Price was a short-lived pricing game featured on the sixth season of The Price is Right. The game was played only twice on the show, on November 14th, 1977, and the 21st in the same month; the contestants who played these games won both.
Professor Prices looks like the Pringles mascot.
Love to see Drew’s head if this game came back today
Even I knew the 4 was the first digit in the car and I was born over a decade after this game was played. The game must have been played around 1976 by the looks of the Chevy.
November 14, 1977.
good idea to pull the plug on that - the puppet is creepy as hell!
For the intro of the Professor, they used the music you hear at high school graduation.
...that same music was also heard on "Queen For A Day". Fact. :)
Pomp and Circumstance
also that same music was used by WWE hall of famer Macho Man Randy Savage as his entrance music
twotonedearly Ooooh YEAH!!!
Me and my girlfriend were playing that game tonight. Gotta say one he has to get to get a right answer then get it right whether it is part of the price. Horrible game plus the audience cant help which is what the price is right is all about.
This game was won both times when it was debuted and played on The Price Is Right in 1977 but I believe it should have lasted a lot longer!!!
I am glad that I was born two years after this game started (and ended). I never had to put up with watching this atrocity of a pricing game.
Well, there have been worse that have come along since that time; perhaps the biggest atrocity was a game called Split Decision, which was introduced in 1995, shortly after the start of season 24, where the contestant was shown a prize with three digits in the price, followed by an automobile, which had five numbers, similar to Any Number. The major difference was that in Any Number, which ever prize you fill out first, you win that prize, where as Split Decision, you had to win both prizes to win the game, which only happened about 3, maybe 4 times. Also, in Split Decision, you only had 20 seconds with which to win both prizes, though eventually, the producers eliminated the 20 second clock, giving contestants three chances outright to play the game.
@@EricEbac22 another difference is Any Number involved the Piggy Bank where as split decision didn't.
This may work for a Let's make a deal game, not so much a TPIR game.
Why
Just played that game on TPIR Decades app. And the questions were exactly the same as in this video.
I notice a lot of people gave negative reviews for this game, but I find it rather interesting in the fact that there's trivia involved here.
Did you all notice the person behind the set controlling the puppet? They are wearing white...and trying to squeeze out of the camera view...
He's did it you won the car 🚗congratulations
Talk about uncanny valley... no wonder this got the boot so early.
That doesn't answer my question.
The premiere episode has a fur coat; therefore, it wasn't aired on GSN. However, clips from that episode appear here on RUclips. The final playing of Professor Price wasn't aired on GSN, so it would seem like clips could also appear here. We have two episodes which aren't aired on GSN. However, one show has clips posted here and the other doesn't. To me, it seems like both shows could have clips here despite both not airing on GSN.
When I saw the lifespan of Professor Price,via Game Show Gumbo, I laughed at how short a time that it was around.
Don't think I ever saw this one. It's the weirdest game they've ever had!
Game is haunted at 5:32, you can tell the cameraman loved it with the close ups!
Never saw this game before. I'd love to see most of the retired games brought back but I'm glad this one has stayed retired 😁
Old cars were awesome. Time machine wanted please! Miss the good old days!
Can't sleep....Professor Price'll eat me...
The only thing that might make Professor Price somewhat redeemable is if he pulled a Hurdles and his first "correct" finger dropped after a second correct answer.
Poor bart
I had to take notes so I could follow this game :)
1:49 the stagehand behind the prop is visible.
That's the person who operated the Professor's ass.
You know you've got pricing game gold on your hands when an audience laughs at it upon seeing it for the first time.
Without seeing the rest of this, I have to safely say that the Professor is holding up the wrong finger. He should be holding up the one next to it, right in a mirror, so they could actually see what people thought of the game.
If they brought this pricing game back, it will be a big interactive computer screen showing a cgi animation of the professor.
it probably exists but just hasn't aired. All TPIR episodes exist to my knowledge, but only episodes that did NOT offer furs were cleared to air on GSN.
@priceisright All New "Professor Price"!!! Coming Soon......
The Professor showed up on eBay a few years back :)
After careful evaluation of this retired pricing game, I can safely assert that the electronic puppet was modeled after TPIR's producer at the time, Jay Wolpert.
Why did Jay make that puppet?
You know, I can only imagine what would happen if that mechanical dummy malfunctioned when showing the correct responses lol >_>
This pricing game made it to Price is Right Decades.
I know! I have all 3 TPIR games for the Wii.
WelcomeToDavidsWorld I only have 2 of them.
I ALWAYS WANTED A SEDAN
Where is the only other episode of Professor Price? I have this one. And this episode was a Perfect Show with 3 cars won.
The other playing isn't on the trading circuit. Here's a text recap from an ex-staff member who managed to watch it:
www.golden-road.net/index.php?topic=22473.0
very few people would have them, but it seems like some people have original tapes. Therefore they COULD have the clips, because all episodes exist to my knowledge. I just don't know anyone who does.
I think the game would work if they voided the trivia aspect and just asked questions about the car price. It would work now as most cars are 5 digit prices.
I believe "Double Digits" may be the shortest-lived pricing game, with a mere 1 play.
Professor Price is the shortest lived pricing game with two playings, Double Digits was played five times before being retired.
@@braydenservis7929 I only heard of, and read once for Double Digits. Thanks for the info. I actually can remember "Professor Price" in it's time, oddly enough.
And the second shortest-lived pricing game was Telephone Game which was played three times in 1978 and the last and final playing got a single win: 1-2.
Professor Price looks like Jeeves with a misshapen head, glasses, and an old person haircut. Oh, and giant caterpillars above his eyes.
You know, I don't mind this game. It's kinda fun.
The premiere episode wasn't shown on GSN either, but there are clips from that episode. How is that episode and the episode in question different?
This game should have been on Truth or Consequences!
The shortest game in price is right history after only two outings
Premiered in 1977
November 14 To Be Exact
If there were two winners, why did they retire this pricing game?
Wow, I wish *I* could win a car by answering three questions that a fifth-grader could answer.
It's also on the Wii version as well.
@georgef551
Double Digits was played five times...it's just that only one of those playings aired on GSN.
Double Digits was the early version of Temptation.
I can see why they retired this thing. If you want a quiz show, go to Jeopardy
Would anybody happen to have the second and final playing of this game?
Now we do.
I am stunned that they included this game in TPIR Decades. Of all the 1970s-era retired games they could've added, I thought they would have gone with something like Finish Line or Mystery Price.
He's so smart
I really doubt it. The 2nd playing was never aired on GSN.
I am partial to the owl.
The repeated mention with the # of guesses made it feel a bit like a Sesame Street game show...
Without question the single weirdest "pricing" game ever conceived. Hard to imagine Mr. Goodson giving this one the green light. Just shows that even the most brilliant mind in the history of game shows occasionally goofed.
@ReturnofLatinPupE I was thinking about the Brady Bunch reference when I brought up this video, but you already commented on it. They got the idea from Jan Brady (or was it Marcia?) making a puppet of Mr. Price.
Peter: A "D"--a big fat "D"!
I went to Wikipedia, and it does not say that nor did it ever say that.
I wonder where that game is now... In the basement? Backstage all reined? Or will they bring this game back....
That is false. Professor Price had a perfect win record 2-0. It was the only game besides Double Bulls-Eye which had a 100% win rate. However, in this game, it was possible to lose the game.
oh please!
2:28 the professor, will show your correct answers on the right hand, and the incorrect answers, either in his left hand
anyone have a clip of the shower game?
AAAAAAAAAAARRGHGHRHRH WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ABOMINATION? The owl is cute but um....BOB PICK UP A GOLF CLUB AND KILL IT
All the professor does is nod yes or no. He's a little like Emile Autori saying only, "Yes, I did."
SUPER creepy...
lol
Who wants to give their own finger to this game?
The only way to see the Professor now is to get an Xbox 360 with a Kinect sensor and TPIR Decades...stupid idea though
@supersaver87
Okay.
That's still 4 more times than "Bullseye I" deserved.
lmao Bacon, I'm sure Bob would flip him off in return
Since the Professor only had four fingers (or three fingers and a thumb), it couldn't happen lol.
This wasn't a pricing game in the way the other ones were. That's also why it didn't work.
Yeah, who’s idea was it to make this game
I'd particularly like to see the second (and last) Professor Price playing...
ruclips.net/video/oCmrs10zMIQ/видео.html
@cbs All New "Professor Price"!!! Coming Soon......
Was Professor Price ever played on the nighttime version in 1977-78 season?
Nope, never.
HOODZ: This is mainly trivia, not price related stuff. This was doomed from the get go. I read even Bob Barker agreed.
Bob didn't know the baseball answer was correct?
I laugh if the professor sticks the bird up as a malfunction. $4800 car, In my dreams today!
Wow. There've been some cheesy games on the price is right, but this game flat out sucks.
What a weird game. Who was the production wizard who came up with THAT one?
That was a trivia game, not a price one. No wonder they retired it
I checked the history of the page, and I don't recall seeing that misinformation.
21st November 1977
Professor Price would've worked if Janice, Dian and Holly alternated as playing the "professor".
Or hire a guy to play as the professor.
Win a car: 5:32
...under the name of Mr. Wiggles, I believe.
@wickedfeylady
hehe - happy gilmore...
rofl
$4815 for a car,nice
What a weird game...
LMAO :P
Shower Game was actually shortest lived game in this show, professor price was the second.
Even though it was short-lived, the French version of the price is right and some international versions had pricing games called Shower game.
@@anthonyguarino4242Oh ok.
What was wrong about those games? Granted they weren't the best games ever but they weren't that bad either.
