I like this hidden gem on "The Price Is Right"! Thank you for uploading the Barker Years on various pricing games where I learn the different games, quirks and nuances of the show.
It's interesting to me that this first version of the rules should make the game easier to win, since you're making the same decisions probability-wise but getting extra information to help you do it, but I bet a lot of people would find this more challenging because some of the prices would make them second-guess themselves.
The best way to win this early version is to pick the cheapest and most expensive item and assign them to the correct shelves. Then pick the second most expensive item, which is usually more obvious than the cheaper ones. After that, it's often guessing. I think the current rules are better. More fluid and easier to follow. But it's certainly difficult either way, especially if they have a weird item that's hard to price.
Note the grocery items being described before the prize, a practice which fairly quickly got changed around for almost every relevant pricing game ... except Hi-Lo, which kept doing it this way for decades, even well into Drew Carey's tenure.
The current "Hot Seat" game has rules a little similar to this initial setup of Hi/Lo. While this rules version does give more information to the contestant, I can see how that could also be a little overwhelming and/or confusing. It was a good idea to rework the game play into what it is today.
From the opening and the first pricing game of the 4/9/73 episode of The Price is Right, featuring the DEBUT of Hi-Lo today. Played with the original rules.
@@Buddy-pv4mf No, actually, in it's debut and some episodes, this original rule set seen here in this playthrough is used before they switched to the current rule set in which is still used to this day.
I liked the older music and the older vibe of the show. Today's show is so contrived and overly exaggerated with all that made up frantic cheering and clapping. They have totally ruined the show.
You're so wrong. The Hi Lo game is still going on to this day in the Carey era, carried over from The Barker Era. However, it was and still is a hard game to win, even with the current rule set, unlike how it was played here in which it had the original rule set.
@@BlueCrystalTear No, this game did carry over to the Carey era, just with different rule sets and upgraded props over the years starting with the Barker Era.
From the start of the April 9, 1973, episode of _The Price Is Right 👉🏻,_ which originally aired 💨 on CBS Daytime at 3 🕒 pm Eastern. More importantly, four days from Friday is former Barker's Beauty 💅🏼 (and Girard, Ohio, native) Kathleen (JoAnn) Bradley's 74th birthday 🎉, which is January 10. And three days after that, which is next ➡️ Monday, January 13, it's former Barker's Beauty 💅🏼 (and Idaho Falls 🌻🍁🎃, Idaho, native) Brandi (Dawn 🌇) Sherwood 🪵's 54th birthday 🎉. Plus ➕, next ➡️ month are two ✌️🏻 February _Price Is Right 👉🏻_ birthdays 🎉🎉: Former Barker's Beauty 💅🏼 (and Pasadena, California, native) LaNisha (Diane) Cole's 43rd birthday 🎈 (February 13) and former Barker's Beauty 💅🏼 (and Bradenton, Florida, native) Teri (Marie) Harrison Keaton’s 44th birthday 🎁 (February 16).
"The Night That The Lights Went Out In Georgia" by Vicki Lawrence, then a regular on The Carol Burnett Show and "Lady Sings The Blues" by Diana Ross were the #1 single and album respectively in the U.S. during that time period. In the U.K., it was "Get Down" by Gilbert O' Sullivan and "Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Piano Player" by Elton John. In Addition, the whole PIR universe got to see the very first playing of HI - LO, a game that's still played even through the Drew Carey era!

Very cool to see these original episodes like this.
Whoa! Check out that 'fro! Wonder if she went AWOL from Soul Train just to be on The Price Is Right?

I love our afros! 😍
I was a kid in that era. Too young to know the maintenance needed to have a big fro.... and have it looking this good. She had it on point!

They should play the Hi-Lo game like that with Drew Carey because it might make it easier for contestants to win.
These older episodes have me wondering how many of these companies are even still around.
Broyhill was bought out in 1980. Kimball is still in business but made its last piano in 1996. Downyflake Waffles were discontinued by Nestle in 1994
@@RewindiumBroyhill went belly up. Wesson still around.
This is interesting!
I had a bad feeling when she put that 49¢ in the hi row...
The Hair. Look at the Hair. Jayzus!
The way they played it back then was quite confusing.
This is Fun
Wow I was so confused with this version of the game.
From the opening and the first pricing game of the 4/9/73 episode of The Price is Right, featuring the DEBUT of Hi-Lo today. Played with the original rules.
Unlike the current rules of Hi-Lo, I didn't know there were rules prior to the current rule set.
Johnny Olson voice over and host Bob Barker.
Greatest duo ever
We will never see prices that low again NEVER……
Another classic game
They played this game oddly at first before they play it as they pick the three highest price products

April 9, 1973
I love this because it reminds us of what we were.Before political correctness.
So close, yet so far.
I love the hair style .
how long did these rules last?
Definitely by the third playing.

I don't think the Hi Lo game is on anymore.

This version of the game is not. The current game has a better game prop (same base, better colors) and less clunky rules.
