The show revolves around contestants competing by identifying accurate pricing of merchandise to win cash and prizes. Contestants are selected from the studio audience when the announcer states the show’s famous catchphrase, “Come on down!” (Contestants’ Row) [F]our contestants are called […] to take a spot in the front row behind bidding podiums […]. [They] compete in a bidding round to determine which contestant will play the next pricing game (known as One Bid). After winning the One Bid, the contestant joins the host onstage for the opportunity to win additional prizes or cash by playing a pricing game. [The Showcase Showdown (spinning The Big Wheel) follows with a final winner selected at the end of the episode (The Showcase)]
The Price Is Right has aired over 8,000 episodes since its debut and is one of the longest-running network series in United States television history. The show’s [48th] season [will] premiere on September [23, 2019.]
I would watch this with my grandmother when she was in her mid-70s to her late eighties…She loved this show…I remember when they started the “showdown” at the end. I always wanted to spin that big wheel.
Lol after a few episodes it can be mind numbing to say the least.
The one I liked the best was Match Game… they would be on the edge of being dirty… at least for back then.
“Betty had two big BLANKS and she uses them to clean the BLANK.
Now to you Richard
Both of those shows were great…Paul Lynde was very quick.
Yes I remember that about Barker…it was one of the models saying it…I’m not sure if it was more than one.

I remember my parents watching the U.K. version of this game show.

This show and Hee Haw remind me of my maternal grandparents and, growing up on their farm.

Saturday morning re-runs. I loved that show as a kid.

I didn’t know it ran as re-runs on Saturday mornings. Canadian thing, perhaps?
September 5, 2019 at 5:58 pm
Now that I think about it, maybe I was watching it live. Bob Barker would still hosting in the eighties.

Yep. Didn’t retire until 2007.

Hey! I watched it with my maternal GM from her middle 50s until I became a teen & lost my mind. 😄

Match Game & Hollywood Squares! OMFG. I didn’t get half the jokes but, they were a scream.
Dick Clark & Bob Barker were stuffed shirts on camera but, I understand Barker was accused of sexual harassment.

Me neither…

My mother was pretty good at that. She should have gone on.
September 5, 2019 at 2:19 pm
Was she close by the studio to have done so?
September 5, 2019 at 2:22 pm
No…
September 5, 2019 at 2:38 pm
Yeah. Most of the folks in the audience were local, relatively speaking. It would be lost money to fly out there & not even get called.
September 12, 2019 at 9:25 pm
Never seen it.

Now, that is a shame. I grew up watching it. It was fun to watch.
