The Price is Right 1st Episode in HD! - September 4, 1972

- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- The very first daytime episode of The Price is Right with Bob Barker from 1972, now remastered in 1080p and with massive video quality improvements. The daytime TV franchise, now in it's 51st year, began with this show on September the 4th, 1972. Original network commercials (and the PSAs that aired on the network feed that were covered by local ads) are included. The first three games ever played on the show? The Any Number game, Bonus Game, and Double Prices. All three are still in the rotation to this day.
About a decade ago, I posted my copy of the first episode of the daytime Price is Right to RUclips, however I eventually had to take it down. The cop(ies) that have circulated since then are copies of my copies, obtained from downloads and trades. Supplanting that older more washed out copy (and the copy of a copy of a copy that's on RUclips, with VQ issues), here's my full HD 1080p copy.
(Accidentally uploaded my "old but still better than RUclips" copy this morning. This is the one I MEANT to post)

I love it when these time capsules leave the commercials in.
Freshness never tasted so good!
The voice over on the first one was by the legendary Jack Webb, who played Joe Friday on Dragnet.
Hostess: Ann Blyth
@One-Day-After-Another It is the retsin
dude the Reece's hit different I never seen where I heard " hey you got my chocolate in my peanut butter, you got my peanut butter in my chocolate"
From here on, kids will never know what it's like to take a sick day from school and watch Bob Barker host The Price is Right. 😢 Thanks for the good times Bob.
Loved sick days for this very reason!!!!😊
@@adrianrosado2223 And, Let's Make A Deal, too. Ever wake up from a fever dream to a bunch of people dressed in weird costumes playing weird games for money? 😂
Yeah, I almost forgotten the snow days off❤
And Peanuts.
Every sick day i was watching The Price is Right. Oh the memories.
Connie, total legend. First contestant on stage. And the first to win a car.
Cool car. Would love to have it.
@@randycunningham7318 honestly that car might be worth something considering it was the very first car won on The Price is Right
@@maliklowry1236 Vega was legendary lemon of a car though
I was thinking how fortunate for her that she said '6' as the last number to win that car. I was thinking she should '8' but that would have sadly gotten the range instead. She is a lucky lady.
@@MomeGnome yeah sure they made the chances of winning much easier for the first year that game
RIP Bob Barker! He was the GOAT of "The Price is Right!" Nobody could do the show better than him!
Agreed!Fully!
Amen!!!! 🙏🏼
He was sure a legend and America's game show host. RIP Bob Barker.
Please don’t disrespect Drew Carey hosting the show since 2007. He’s been doing a good job keeping the late Bob Barker’s legacy alive
No disrespect to drew at all just different. Bob had a certain professionalism.
Lived to 99. Got as close to the dollar without going over. A true legend.
Amazing comment 😂
❤
Great comment.
LOL PERFECT
@@marmel4086l😅😅😅mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
What a Legacy Bob Barker left behind. I will never forget him. RIP Bob you are a Legend!
Yeah I was sad to hear he died but to me he was like hugh Hefner and stan Lee and he lived a long and really good life
What a time capsule. The clothing, the set design, the commercials! Incredible video. RIP to the game show GOAT and the TV babysitter for millions of us, Bob Barker.
We had that same tupperware set including the salt and pepper shaker, lol.
haha used to love watching it and let's make a deal when we were home sick from school.....
First showcase. A stove in avocado green and a Chevy Vega (fill up the oil and check the gas). Yep, that’s the 70’s.
The $3,000 brand new car 😂😂😂
He came close to 100,
without going over🤣
I guarantee every appliance you see on this show would still work perfectly fine today
Built to last, and easily repairable with affordable parts if it did break.
Especially the cars
Nothing better than yellow appliances, orange countertops and dark wood kitchen cabinets.
So true, today's appliances are absolutely junk. Except for speedqueen, if you can afford them
I don't doubt that. I have a mixer that my mom gave me and it's 50yrs old and works like a charm. I wouldn't say that about the electronics though. I doubt that TV would still work...
And that green refrigerator is still working to this day. Meanwhile, the $2000 one that I bought 5 years ago has quit.
This show needed someone with the energy like Connie for the first show to set the bar for everyone in the future.
I sure hope thar Connie got to take a trip in her life. As happy as she made me with her energy, when she said she never got to take a trip in her life it broke my heart lol.
With her little purse lol! And telling Bob I don't trust you!
@@mlsaulnier That's the reason they set the price $ 557 higher than what she said. The woman's intuition was right! They (Bob and the show staff) are not to be trusted.
Her scream was adorable
I actually know this. I was a contestant as a kid on a local show. And they actually showed what was behind the mystery boxes before they ran the live tape. So much for magic!
@@mtlicq
It's so much fun to see ordinary, hardworking people win nice things. Seriously. Watching Connie win made me smile.
Same! I hope Connie had a great time driving in the Vega with her fur coat :-)
Spoiler alert next time! 🤣🤣🤣
The only problem is they had to pay the taxes on the prizes they won before they could receive them and some contestants didn't have the money
How did she guess all those numbers?? Seems too good to be true
How do you know how hard Connie worked (if at all?)
Man, one thing I miss from my childhood was when id wake up to the smell of coffee and breakfast and hearing the price is right theme song playing through the hallway. Then id go help my grandma finish making breakfast and we'd sit infront of the tv watching Bob. Its crazy how you take those moments for granted but I would do anything to experience those mornings again.. to be with my Grandma again and watching Bob on The Price is Right.
I loved how he asked the female contestant, "are you married?", she said "yes" and then he said, " well you'll love this next prize, it's a freezer!"
hahahahhaa, a place to hide his body.
51 years exactly today since the show premiered. RIP Bob Barker and will truly miss you and your contribution to the game show industry will be remembered :)
Best host in the entire history of game shows!!!
And I turned 25 on this day in 1998. This episode was recorded a full 8 years before my own mother was born.
@@tylerchambliss8379that makes no sense....
@@tylerchambliss8379the math ain’t right here, chief
and on which they re-aired the primetime tribute to Bob in it's normal timeslot
I was born in 1972 and grew up watching Bob Barker and the Price is Right. What a treat it was to watch this episode! Shocking to see those prices (~$2k for a new car?!? Wow!) So cool that the commercials were left in, too! Thanks.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people across so many generations this show and this man brought joy to. In the early 90's, I watched TPIR every day it aired before I was old enough to start school and after that, it made sick days not so bad. I was a freshman in High School when he retired... Rest easy Bob.
I'm 50 and TPIR was my summer vacation show when I was in elementary and high school 😁
I always remember being home sick or on summer vacation and watching the show
I had this EXACT same experience, just 20 years earlier.
hello for me is the same in the 90's watching TPIR but here in italy, the show was called OK il prezzo è giusto
Same, I watched more price is right with my grandma then almost any other television show in the 90s
RIP Bob! Thanks for making my childhood/teenage years so enjoyable on sick days, holidays, and during the summer
He certainly did! Watching this just takes me right back to those vivid memories.
All of us 70’s kids have the same memories. Very interesting. It was a fun show to watch.
Same here, except for me, it was during the mid 90s and early 2000s!
@@laurakruk4692 glad you got some if it too!
This exactly.
This show aired on CBS 16 days before I was born. My mom told me that it was part of a new CBS morning lineup that had Gambit, Jokers Wild and this "New" version of Price is Right. I literally grew up watching this show and spent many a sick day, school vacation and summer morning watching this. Its so good to see that this show is still going after 51 years...and I love that all three of these games are still in the game rotation
I watched the first episode it debut on Labor Day and the next day was back to school.
I loved the Joker's Wild! This episode aired a year before I was born but damn I watched a ton of Price Is Right as a yute. I mean a youuuuuth.
Now that's the definition of a game show commitment that I pray continue to be honored forever.
I love it from day 1, Bob Barker endorsed contestants being themselves, getting excited, and having the time of their life! That is one of the qualities that made this show so special!
Bob definitely has a way with people that made the show so special.
Ps: go jets go!!
I’m from Boston, we called him Bob Bahkah!
Happy Gilmore.
He says to her at the end, I hope we always have a Connie on the new price is right!
This wasn’t the first episode, you know. (There’s a reason why Bob in his opening remarks said the new while referencing the old.) The game show first aired on NBC primetime Monday November 26, 1956 and hosted by Bill Cullen. Then it moved to ABC in 1963, it’s final season was in 1965. Then CBS picked it up in 1972 with Bob Barker hosting, then of course Drew Carey took over.
I love how everyone is just sitting in silence while the contestants are being called 😂
The announcer scared me... STAND UP 😮I
@@xoxoxoxoxo7997, the show was just getting started so they had to get their groove. By the second and third rounds, Johnny Olson started that confident call of "Come on Down" that became downright ICONIC. ❤
@@xoxoxoxoxo7997 imagine it without the cheering music 💀
This stood out to me the most! Talk about awkward 😂
and then you had Connie just absolutely SCREECHING into the microphone when she got each number right in the car. She couldn't be bothered to speak into the mic properly but for some reason screeched directly into it repeatedly. I guess I shouldn't have watched this with headphones.
R.I.P. Mr. Bob Barker. This show just is not the same without you. A legend gone never forgotten. ❤️
Man what a different time the 70's were.
Also the fact the original aired commercials are in there is amazing!
A fur coat was on the show. Must be before Bob Barker was against the harming of animals. At one point he didn't allow fur coats on the show.
Agreed
😮😮😳 unacceptable! Where is PETA when needed?
@@dannydaw59that was before he really needed the money. Besides how many leather interior cars and leather couches , and purses did he have one the show 😂😂😂
I can attest to that 👍
Im 56 years old. All through my childhood, good and bad, there was always Bob Barker and TPIR. Positive, warm, happy music, prizes, etc. I miss those years. And with the passing of 99 year old Bob Barker, an era has end. Wonderful times indeed! RIP Bob Barker. A classy guy.
They weren’t woke back then.
@locojohn6637, I had that same experience -- home sick from school and all Summer, Bob Barker and The Price is Right made mornings so enjoyable growing up.
I'm the same vintage as well. Exactly.
I love it. A car for $2,000+.
58 years old. Same experience - home sick, watching TPIR, then soup, then a nap. Loved him.
This was awesome! From the Tupperware commercial to the Pillsbury Dough Boy's weird laugh to the asbestos floor tiles as part of a prize in the showcase showdown, this one has it all!
I remember when I was a little kid in the early 80s. My mom worked for Tupperware and she would always have Tupperware parties.
Dave asbestos floor tiles 😂😂😂😂
My Mom used to sell Tupperware and AVON.
She also used to bake and decorate and sell her own cakes, too.
Miss my Mom and Dad.
This show came out a year before I was born.....and a year before the fuel crisis and THE EXORCIST!!!
Good Game Show.
Glad that Drew Carey is hosting it now.
So seventies you can taste it!
From this very first episode, Bob Barker set the tone of The Price is Right for the 35 years that followed! His natural and genuine connection with the contestants and the big wins are why we loved the show up until his well earned retirement in 2007. No shade to Drew Carey but Bob was THE MAN! May he forever enjoy his showcase in Heaven.
Recognizing the best isn't denigrating everyone else as a result, IMHO. Bill Cullen was the first and had a charm as well. Bob's hosting of the reinvented show still reigns Supreme. But no incarnation is actively disliked!
i actually think drew carrey is a little better, although bob barker did well too.
@@spoker2006lmao this is laughable.
My great grandmother was obsessed with this show from the 70s to the late 90s. Hope she's up there, and talking to Bob with excitement.
I was born in 71 and loved it when I was 3 or so 😂😂. Watched every day.
@@alb12345672 lol
@@alb12345672 I was so much into the prices right, I'd ask a few times to watch it while in the hospital.
No she's not talking to Bob
Rest in peace Bob Barker. My dad took his lunch break to watch your show with me almost everyday.
Best comment of the year 😂
This is the best copy ever. Better than what I had in any tape/DVD trade in the past.
Free on you tube ♡♡
It's awesome the tape was saved.
Incredible time capsule all around, nobody saw it this clear, ever lol. Interesting to watch the camera work with no stability anything, they had the basic formula down from day one though.
I’m interested in how it looks. Crystal clear. But when moving you can see horizontal lines. Anyone know the technicalities of this video?
When I was a kid I never realized this show was one long ad for all these prizes 😁 It was still a lot of fun to watch.
Same here, it’s basically advertising I never picked up on as a kid .
I’m 56, I remember watching with my mom. Always seemed like a pitch to me. Still enjoyed it for sure
Sure but how many people are going to go to Beverly Hills to get a fur coat. Some of the prizes are straight-up ads like the new Chevy Vega some are to make the show spicy.
@@EricPetersen2922 56 also (will be 10/28)
I just realized it now by reading your post 😂😂
Connie was a total sweetheart and paul was an absolute boss. This brought tears to my eyes.
Thanks for including the commercials. It really adds to the viewing experience!
That seat belt PSA at 7:19:
“They’re too confining”
“They wrinkle my dress”
“I like to relax when I drive”
I have been watching the “The Price Is Right” since it premiered, same as millions of other people. Bob Barker was the best host! Johnny Olson was my favorite announcer! What a voice. Drew Carey’s announcer sounds too over-the-top for me! I had just turned 10 years old when this showed aired. Ah, the wonderful memories! I enjoy looking at the early ‘70’s clothes, hairstyles, and merchandise! A brand-new car not even $3000!
I always envied the hair on the models.
Omg I freaking love this!!!! I was born in the 70's and grew up watching this. My parents watched it every weekend and we kids laid out of school to watch it. I love the time capsule its great seeing the fashion the audience and the old commercials. Love you Bob Barker rest in peace my friend.💜💜 you will always be remembered.
Very interesting how the first item ever was a fur coat…amazing how far the show progressed from 1972 until Bob’s retirement in 2007. I’ll never forget growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s watching Bob almost every morning. RIP Bob. 💔
@@panchovcarloCome back when you realize why it’s next to impossible to watch an episode from the 1978-1979 season. Until then, you do not get to call *_anyone_* out.
@@panchovcarlo Bob Barker became crazy obsessed with Animal Rights it's ironic the first ever prize was an animal Fur. I think it's hilarious but Bob didn't pick these prizes so no sure what's up ur ass?
@@a.grimes4202 Now I’m totally curious!
@@a.grimes4202season 7 is available to watch on RUclips 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Aside from the fur coat and animal rights, it's a muskrat fur coat, lmao. Anyone who's never seen a muskrat in real life, look it up, they're rats who live in water sloughs.
Anybody who grew up in the 80's should have a soft spot in their heart for this show, and the nostalgia associated with watching older episodes. Good show ole boy!
And in the 70s! 😊
I know what you mean. E V E R Y O N E growing up in the 80's watched this show. It was THE show you got to watch when home sick from school, other things may have been on before and after, but none held a spot in all our hearts the way this one did.
While we're glad Bob was here on this Earth with us for a long as he was, we're also heartbroken he's moved on.
This episode, as a 72 Virgo, has a place in my heart.
I grew up in the late 80s-early 90s and you better goddamn believe every summer day at 11am, the TV would be tuned to channel 5.
Yes, indescribably nostalgic. I miss those days. ❤💔
thats one of the reasons i love Pluto TV :)
Love this show! I remember watching it late 90s early 2000s. This episode aired 11 years before I was born! What a time piece to watch! The hairstyles, the clothes, the comments, the prizes! whoa!
I did not realize brother (maker of my laser printer) was such an old company. They made typewriters?!?
Oh hey look who it is
My sister gave me her brother typewriter when I went to college in the 80s. It was a big hit. It was compact and had a word processor. You could type in a whole page, read it over and then hit type.
Likewise didn't realize Hamilton Beach had been around since the 70s or earlier. Just recently had one of their blenders crap out on me, that I had for like a decade (granted, didn't use it all that much). Apparently blended my smoothie a bit too long and the motor gave out, or something. **Sigh**
Anyway. Was weird seeing something from Hamilton Beach in the first episode of TPiR... Never really thought of it as a particularly high end or long-lived brand. But, apparently it's been around a while like Black & Decker, I guess?
Brother is the only printer I will own, I hope they are around a longtime!
Yes! They made manual and Elictric typewriters (had one in the 1980's).
RIP Bob Barker. I was born in ‘81, and The Price Is Right was a part of my childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. ❤
And now it’s a woke clown show how sad.
@@iwanaGoFast2010 Oh really? How sad. I have not watched in over a decade. I transgender btw. I am certainly not in agreement with what the extremists are trying to push on everyone. We are not all the same.
@@Lanae8199 I really didn’t mean in that way. Woke has alot of different things associated with it. Sorry I offended you I respect the way people are made and their decisions on how they live.
@@iwanaGoFast2010 I was not offended by your statement. A lot of people today are so easily offended. I actually agree with you.
What made this show such a hit is how it individually highlighted and characterized it's average-jo blue collar contestants. And great games, great host.
The fact that so many things on this show are still the same in 2023 is a testament to the originality of this show at the time...
R.I.P Mr. Barker, good memories of watching you with my long departed grandfather on TV, all those decades ago.
I was 11 years in 1972, I remember watch The Price is Right with brother and two sisters. We loved the show.
Wow Encyclopedias! Nobody used those anymore. What a golden episode.
A lot of great memories watching "The price is right" with my family. Rest In Peace Bob Barker, you are greatly missed
Summers and holiday weeks off from school, sick days, Bob was a staple of my childhood entertainment, nobody will ever take his place RIP Bob
Even if Drew Carey has settled into doing so for 17 years now... Amen.
This is American history right here. Any kid during the 70s to some time after the millennium remembers staying home and seeing Bob host this show. His face should be added to Mount Rushmore.
I didn't wake up today thinking I was going to watch the first ever episode of the price is right but thats what I did
Hell of a time to be alive
This is amazing... hearing his voice and seeing how he looked. Then seeing all the items on the showroom floor really puts a time stamp! That color TV needs a moving company to get it home.
That First Lady, Conny, is just adorable. I love this episode
Bob Barker was, and always will be, the BEST MC in my book!!!
Connie was an amazing first Guest. Loved her energy
Up with energy down with grace. Connie's great!
Wonder if she still has that coat?
She´d be at least 101 years old now.@@Deezeelove
@@Deezeelove I'm sure it outlasted the Vega!
@@dmsjcapeople in the '70s were a different breed, Connie was probably 30 in this 😂
When I watch these old TV shows, i can't help but think how the prizes went to a junkyard long ago, and nearly everyone is dead 😢
Still, it was fun while it lasted!
That avocado cook range says everything about the 70's 😂
$375 in 1972 was like $1500 in todays dollars. The car was only $3k
Ranges are so much cheaper now.
Man I grew up on this show! Summers hanging out in the morning eating giant bowls of cereal and watching "The Price is Right"
Giant Bowels. Good Ole Days.
Nobody could do it better than Bob. The way he explained the game. Reminded her where to stand. Great show. Started 5 years before I was born and lemme tell you, I watched that show everyday I was off from school.
Bob already had 15 years of practice from Truth or Consequences. He'd gotten it down to a science by the time he started hosting Price.
Connie set the bar and requirement for every contestant that came after her! This was fantastic to watch, I was 4 when it came out and I still remember watching it almost every day with my mom for many years and still watch it today!
@praywithoutceasing4939Yes! I loved the Sonny and Cher Show. I was eight when The Price is Right came out and loved watching when I was at home "sick" from school
It was probably scripted to get people to watch. I mean seriously, every number right? On the first show?
@@TchrisO123lol you’re so adorable
@@TchrisO123my exact thoughts as well. All they had to hope for was that she guessed the 2 and 7 and the rest of the numbers could interchangeably be placed on the bottom prizes. It was rigged no doubt.
@@TchrisO123 No. After the late 50's rigging scandals all these shows were watched very closely.
Bob Barker was the reason this show was so successful and the sexy models!! 😍
You must a gayyyy...it was the chicks and fun games
@@twhalenyea the music is why it's still on TV, not because people actually watch it
That's certainly a big part of it, but another part is that the game is so good.
Well sometimes the intro used to say
*_BARKER'S BEAUTIES ARE HOT!_*
The best gift that show could give was to meet Mr Barker. To be on the same stage as him would be an honor
Watching this super clear picture and hearing Johnny Olson announcing takes me back. It was like I was 8 years old again, home sick from school with my grandmother.
I had chicken noodle soup and toast. When I watched
I out this video on my TV set and turned up the volume while i was working in the kitchen and just doing chores. I honestly stopped and cried for a bit. For a moment , hearing This show in the background i was taken n back to my childhood days in the 70's hearing this show in my parents home in the background as mom worked and we played. The tears were happiness and hurt. Happiness for a beautiful memory and hurt because i desire so badly to go back.
This show reminds me my father. He always watch it in the 70's and 80's so I started watching it and enjoying it with him. Very fond memories
I was born in 1984 and during the 90s I used to love watching this show. RIP Bob Barker.
I first remember seeing the shows in 89 with my brother when my parents dropped us off at our grandparents for the week. I grew up with white hair Bob. The old Gex-ers and younger Boomers had brown hair Bob.
Like right after finished watching Saturday morning cartoons?
1984 here too.
I really loved the music of this show. The main jingle is actually quite ingenious in its chord changes.
I was a little girl watching the Price is right, it would never get old and the whole family just love watching it. Mr Barker was like a part of the family sorta, to me. Mr Bob Barker, may you rest in peace 💐
OMG I love Connie! ❤❤❤😃😃😃😃 Perfect contestant to kick off this long lasting TV game show! RIP Bob Barker.
Today is September 4, 2023, RIP Bob Barker. I was 11 years old when this aired. I have great memories with my mom watching these, while my dad worked.
Years later with a bid like, both showcases would've been won.
Yes, that was quite interesting -- and the person who had earlier guessed the exact price would have won an extra $100 for it. I wonder when they changed the rules!
Bob was such a professional with his improvs and charisma.
Back then people didn't know the strategy of bidding $1 above the highest bidder. They also didn't offer the bonus for someone guessing the exact price. Fun to watch... even the commercials! =)
They also didn't offer both showcases for guessing under $100 to the actual price.
It's amazing how many people DON'T realize that the 4th bidder has all the power. They can bid either $1 or $1 over the highest bid. Yet, there as so many who don't get it. Amazing.
This was my favorite game show as a kid. Not quite as old as this episode, but the ones in the 80s for sure. Really nice share. RIP Mr. Barker.
Wow. This show was destined to be a classic from the day it was born!!! Loved this show!
The man was smooth. Just listen to how he explains the games. So easy to understand. Gotta say when it comes to game show host BOB is truly the GOAT. Those commercials had me in this weird time capsule.
I agree. Smooth, quick witted, even with three cameras and lights all on him.
I actually started tearing up soon as I heard the opening theme song . I’ve better seen the very first episode until now 😢❤️ RIP Bob . Thank you for helping my sick days feel a little better
I teared up as well!
I am so happy that this has shown up in our RUclips feeds! It’s been great to read everyone’s memories. I was a wee lad of 4 years old when this aired, but the show was a huge part of my life for decades. I still watch it on the free Roku channel. Blessings to all of you ❤
Here is something I can guaranty you. All the appliances in the show are still working today. I've got a fridge I keep my beer in. Made in 1977 and still works today as good as new.
Yeah but none of the appliances from the 70s have a "eco" mode.
So sad of a news to pass along. Long term host of The Price is Right from ‘72-2007, Bob Barker, passed away today at age ninety-nine (99). ☹️
Typewriters, fur coats, roller skates, peel and stick tiles...this was a cool nostalgic trip in time. Thank you!
Bob was such fun to watch. Always happy and his dry humor and sarcastic remarks were hilarious.
Notice how they had real furr coats. We need to go back to the good times. The car paint wasnt water based qnd the clearcoat was thick. On a metal doorpanel
WOW, I was around one year old when this aired. I remember as a little boy, I thought Bob Barker was so cool; he was like a Super Hero! My mom would watch this all of the time.🥰
Show was never the same when Bob left....I will forever love Bob...R.I.P.
Life was so simple and fun back then! I really miss it 😢.
Thank you so much for bringing back this treasure from the past to us. This kind of television needs to be preserved; commercials included! This is absolutely golden; just like Bob Barker's tan and smile.
I seriously miss this era. Bob barker you were a stud back then and always has been. You are truly missed.
I was six years old when this aired. I probably saw it live because Dad loved this show, and I used to watch it with him. Wonderful memories. ❤
I was 1 1/2.........:)
almost 5
Wow, what a treat! Who didnt love TPIR when Bob Barker was the host. His enchanting voice, bubbly presence and sparkling smile is one of a kind. He's like the Michael Jackson of game show host. They'll never be another. RIP to the GOAT 🐐 Bob Barker.....
In 2023 you cannot get a junk car for $2K! So many great memories from my childhood. Bob got as close to 100 without going over. LEGEND ❤😂❤
That Mazda is $17,996 with inflation adjustment. It was probably a stripped version
I watched this show on so many summer mornings in the 80's; dropped at grandma's house (who slept till noon) so my mother could go to work. This show was a staple of my weekday summer mornings for years until I was old enough to stay home on my own. And I still watched it most mornings even then.
Bob was 48 years old when in this first episode happened. When he retired in 2007 after doing 35 years of this he was 82 (Bob had a December birthday). That's how long he was doing this. Bob made it closest to a dollar without going over when he died. Yes the first prize shown was a fur coat. Bob was an animal activist and TPIR did this for years in the 70's and early 80's doing fur coats. I think it wasn't until the mid 80's that Bob lobbied the show to stop showing the fur coats.
@BigrobkerrConnie was 26
Those old commercials were just as good as the show!
What a shame Connie didn't win the showcase. She had such enthusiasm, it was infectious!
We would have got to hear her scream again.
“I don’t trust you” “but connie after all I’ve done for you?” 😂😂😂 Bob was golden and Connie was the perfect contestant for him. This had to help the show get funding.
@@tonycrabtree3416 My take on the "I don't trust you" was that (1) Bob was still doing "Truth or Consequences" at the time where tricks were sometimes played on contestants and (2) players had to give up winnings on the similar "Let's Make a Deal" to play in the final round. Connie needed have worried; The car and fur were hers to keep even though she didn't win the showcase.
Bob Barker could never and will never be replaced!
Everything about the show, and commercials was so nostalgic. Fantastic!
Bob barker and Peter Tomarken inspired me as a child to speak in front of people. I always wanted to be a game show announcer and/or host when I grew up in the 80s. I'm finally living that dream as a youth sports announcer in my hometown. Don't make much on it, but boy is it rewarding.
Right on!
The very first contestant won a new car! I grew up in the eighties and I used to watch the Price is Right with Bob Barker all the time. Good times.
I used to watch this all the time when I was a kid, loved it! Bob Barker was always a class act, his smile when Connie squeezed him while hugging him, cute! I was born the month before this episode aired.
Ah, hearing the only real Price is Right theme again actually gave me chills. I know the show existed before and after Bob Barker hosted it, but in the eyes of any real Price is Right fan, the show started with this episode and ended with his final episode.
Huh? This is the very first episode and it started with bob barker. Idk where u got that it existed before cuz it didn't lol. I guess you didn't read the title either?
@@FCUK-this is a newer version of the show. It existed beforehand and Bob talks about it at the beginning of the show.
@@tomer_stern well I'll be damned lol I stand corrected 🤡 and my apologies to OP.
THE FIRST SHOW WAS IN BLACK AND WHITE! Contestants sat at a podium an talked! They got some VERY good prizes back then!
The same games were played in his final episode, but in the reverse order, and Bill Cullen hosted the original Price is Right.
The first lady was Connie Gunall. She was born on October 12, 1909 and died on April 7, 2002.
62 at time of airing. I actually had her pegged for lower 50s.
I'm glad that she was able to live a long life!
What was her occupation?
RIP to all these people having such a fun time back then
someone is still alive
One of my core memories is watching TPIR on a small black and white TV that my grandma set up for me while I ate fresh raspberries from her garden. 8 year old me never had it so good :)
RIP Bob Barker & Johnny Olsen. Johnny Olsen & Rod Roddy together are now saying "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB BARKER!!!!" when he got to Heaven.
Legends!
How much you want to bet Johnny and Rod are telling some Samoan women in Heaven to Come on Down and chase after Bob now that he is there with them.
“Bob Barker…. Welcome home!”
This will always be a classic. Rest in peace, Bob...
Amazing how civil everyone behaved in those days.
Yeah we took such a wrong turn
About as well-behaved as _Jeopardy!_ or a classroom 😂
