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.

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.
