Here's a clip from 1977 on the American TV show "The Price is Right" where they are multiple big wheel wins on 1 episode in the Showcase Showdown segment. 🇺🇲 🇺🇲
They tightened it up. The wheel was very loose during the first SCSD. look at how much faster the wheel stops when it clicks onto the dollar second time around
I believe they did that in an effort to speed up the show and add more commercial time, not to mention they were probably running long with some of the guys who would spin ti so hard it would go into Young & Restless.
CBS dropped the practice of game show announcers saying "Stay tuned for ____ next over most of these CBS Stations" in either the late 70s or early 80s.
Inflation with out FIAT Currency has made prize packages go five figures now. Yes back then, $7,000 dollars for all of that stuff was expensive, but compared to now, I cannot fathom how lucky we had it back then!!
I'm glad this isn't like Twitter where characters are limited I'd like to be here for an hour! Where do I start? They didn't reset the wheel for the spin-offs or after a non-qualifying so I don't know if they did that after they added the green sections in 1978. Also it was a very small window where Double Dare followed Price is Right. I know The Price is Right started at 10 a.m. eastern when it went to an hour in 1975. I don't know if that was the case at this point.
@@trevorbayers2175I thought I was trying to say that after season 6 when they added the green sections, they reset the wheel after a $1,000 winner but they didn't previously! I know they never reset the wheel after a non-qualifying spin but I always thought they should have!
I guess I should clarify what yeldell1234 was trying to say. I think he, or she, was wondering when they added the bonus spin to the Showcase Showdown, which was 1978.
wow alex trebek hosted gameshows in the 'states back the 70s? i was always under the impression that pitfall and high rollers were his first hosting jobs...
generally speaking the wheel was much looser years ago than it is now...watch an ep from 1976, then an ep from the 90s or 2000s, and you'll see what i mean...
That was a weird rule that they'd win another $1000 if they would get $1 on the wheel in one spin during the spinoff. Doesn't seem right. RIP Bob Barker (1923-2008)

They also made the pegs between the sections of the wheel bigger (not in this video, but since then). That slows the wheel down faster as well.
The big wheel sounds different than it does now.
Yes, I too noticed how much tighter the wheel was during the spin-offs, you can't get away with ridiculous stuff like that these days, thankfully.
9:02 - "Stay tuned for _Double Dare_ starring Alex Trebek, next over most of these CBS stations!"
Now I'm trying to wrap my mind around the thought of an alternate timeline where Mark Summers became the venerable host of Jeopardy!
Don't forget to spayed and neuter your pets
The wheel has been tightened considerably since this was made.
Nobody is a perfect grammar not even Bob
Since it came off one day some years ago

1978, when they made "5" and "15" green as well.
That's some great camera work in the winning spins...that's textbook, that's how it should be done. You don't see that anymore...
I remember these sounds on the wheel.

March 3, 1977
Great camera and directing indeed! Really tight.
They should have then added 5 and 10 in this segment
I saw an episode where 4 people got a dollar. One of them won the 10,000.
What episode Date?
DO you remember when Johnny Olsen was saying (Stay tuned for Gambit,Double Dare & Love of Life next over most of these CBS Stations?
He announced to stay tuned for Love of Life after Now You See It as well.

They NEVER re-set the wheel for spinoffs or spins that didn’t go all the way around. Where did you get that from?

Wow the prices lol
That wheel was hot!
That is somethin right there.
Anybody know if this full episode is available?
and in one day the price is right went bankrupt
Interesting...when that last contestant didn't get the Wheel all the way around, there was no booing!
how do you know this is there a clip for because i would like to see it
Before the bonus spin and the green sections.
So theoretically, if Y&R was pre-empted, you could win more back then than today.

did bob say damn?
Kills me that Bob couldn't say "Giacomo" correctly...
Bob is not Spanish
@@jonathanfleming5831 I'm not Italian, but I still know how to say it.
Now if only Rich Fields would invite viewers to "Stay tuned for your Local News next over most of these CBS Staions."
It's under the FAQ section of golden (dash) road (dot) net.
And I don't have a clip of it.
A different beep this time! :^)
Beep, beep, beep!
when the gree sections were introduce
Funny to see a $5,000 show case
the 70's, who knew?
The very first one was worth $2504
What games were played on this episode?
I wonder why all the themes on TPIR back then used the low-tone variant?
The main theme at the end was pitched up slightly from the "as recorded" speed but not quite at the high pitch used permanently since the mid-1980s.
there used to be a decimal point on the wheel?
No copyright/year yet in the closing credits. Must not have appeared until 1978 or 1979.
This show was aired between Monday, December 13, 1976 and Friday, March 4, 1977.
Thanks!!!
generally speaking the wheel was much looser years ago than it is now...watch an ep from 1976, then an ep from the 90s or 2000s, and you'll see what i mean...
It's pretty loose right now though
Wow!!
it's ~50 cents slower
4:22... Molly Shannon
i bet bobby never thot hed be doing this show for decades lol whats it been 30 years? finaly a new host
Barker did 35 seasons.
Too bad for the show.It was so good
December 1978
Same half inch from 15 cents one dollar two one
No bonus spins
That was a weird rule that they'd win another $1000 if they would get $1 on the wheel in one spin during the spinoff. Doesn't seem right.
RIP Bob Barker (1923-2008)
2007 & he still alive
Bob barker, the greatest game show host ever of TPIR. Now the price is right has the worst.
The only worst is YOU, you invalid POS! Drew is the BEST HOST!
You don't matter, don't belong, and don't exist.
