It's really nice to be able to watch Dennis James do his thing on The Price is Right and also just want to say it's really nice to be able to watch everything that you guys are uploading. It's really nice to know that he was so diligent about preserving the things that he did on television in his own archive. collection
Very kind of you! Obviously his work from the 1940's, 50's and 60's is much harder to find preserved, but we do have a treasure trove of items from his work in the 1970's, 80's and 90's….. Just a question of getting it all transferred to an uploadable format.
@@dennisjames7576 How much of the Price series do you have? There's a fair bit out there around, but a lot that isn't or only existed in audio form before. Do you have most/if not all of it? Thanks for putting up what you have btw, it's nice to see it. :)
It's great to see past episodes of the price is right. Seeing old commercials is great. You don't see to many 7-Elevens any more. That trip to Quebec City brought back memories. I have been there a couple of times. Thanks for posting. Still is a great game show today 👍.
Notice that the set had already changed from the 1972 earth tone yellow, orange and brown color scheme to the brighter orange, green and pink. However, this episode still had the original orange bidding machines with popcorn light numbers and the winning bid lighting up the TPIR flower, which was a homage to the original version with Bill Cullen. Several weeks later, they gave way to the green bidding machines with squared numbers and each player's screen a different color: red, orange, green and blue. Though now LED, the bidding machines still look similar to this day.
Notice they did start doing green on the sides of the read outs for contestants row; makes me wonder if they debated on keeping the original read outs.
He stopped smoking in the late 1960s but still had lung cancer in 1997. He even posed himself in The new Price Is Right ads in television guides with his tobacco pipe although he no longer smoked when they were advertised.
That Frigidaire refrigerator was ahead of its time for 1975 (today, we have “smart fridges” with WiFi and other stuff)! And yes, based on those commercials from that area, this was taped off of KNBC in Los Angeles.
@@lakebay972 there were no fill-in host for Drew Carey they took over the show while drew was there.fill in host mean if you can’t make it because you are sick or have a appointment or something.
Dennis James was a great host They should’ve kept the nighttime price is right all the way into the 90s but I know Dennis James died in 1997 from cancer
He was a longtime Chesterfield cigarette smoker and on television ads for TPIR in the newspaper, he can be seen posing with his signature smoker's pipe.
Now there's something you don't see too much of, TPIR set in the middle of making the transition from their three year old psychedelic brown set to their more common rainbow display that would remain for decades. Notice the quad brown eggcrate display monitors on contestant's row still in use as oppposed to the later-day popular rainbow colored "sportstype" display ones for example.
I would like to know if you could please upload more of The Nighttime Price Is Right with Dennis James with original commercials which aired on KNBC Channel 4(now NBC 4) in Los Angeles in 1976 and 1977 because that is where I was born and I remember watching The Price Is Right at night. Brings back cool memories, especially the commercials for Vons and Farrell's.
Thanks for including the commercials. You must have taped these off the television. I assume that Brad James is actually running this channel? Thanks for sharing this stuff.
No - this was during a period when Anitra was doing other projects. Dian was filling in for Anitra here. The third model is an actress named Phyllis 17:10
Dennis James had so much class, style and just like Bob Barker he was also a great TV game show host in his own kind, as well.

@@dennisjames7576 Exciting stuff!
This show was aired in my hometown everyday, on CFCF 12 cable 11 CTV Montreal, Canada.

I know right. Last year, they closed the one near me in Petersburg, VA.
There were more than there were now. Hell, there were even some in Atlanta and Alabama but not as much anymore.
@@jwgreek8606 Just like at where I live, there were some but they have been gone for years.

RIP!! DENNIS JAMES BOB BARKER TOM KENNEDY JOHNNY OLSON & ROD RODDY!!
I remember Dennis James did a commercial for Old Gold cigarettes
Stewart Adkins He was actually their spokesman for many years. We will probably be posting a few commercials.
he did a lot of commercials back in the day
He stopped smoking in the late 1960s but still had lung cancer in 1997. He even posed himself in The new Price Is Right ads in television guides with his tobacco pipe although he no longer smoked when they were advertised.
I always loved it when Johnny participated in the showcases.
Don't let Bob see these furs!
That was before Bob start talking about spaying and neutering pets and the pet population.
Dennis James had already been retired for 4 years when Bob Barker instituted the animal fur ban in 1981.
And the nighttime version was already gone for a year by that point.
thank you for including the commercials :)
That Frigidaire refrigerator was ahead of its time for 1975 (today, we have “smart fridges” with WiFi and other stuff)!

Rest in Peace, Bob Barker.
Rest in peace, Dennis James!
In the first showcase, the end of the description of the trip to Quebec City shows the city hall of Montreal...
If all the cashiers looked like Janice Pennington, men would never complain about shopping for groceries.
😂
There was one in East Brunswick, NJ
Those jet 🎿 skis like snowmobiles looked like real fun
Beautiful dresses the models are wearing
They were from the many outfits they wore on the daytime show at the time.
Dennis James was good looking
Thanks for this. I hope that you have some Cerebral Palsy Telethons that he's know for.
Has there ever been a substitute host on the price is right for Drew Carey?
Never...yet Dennis James filled in for Bob Barker back in late 1974!
God bless, he never gets sick!@@mrceleb2006
Yes, models Amber and Manuela have each filled in for Drew.
@@lakebay972 there were no fill-in host for Drew Carey they took over the show while drew was there.fill in host mean if you can’t make it because you are sick or have a appointment or something.
Dennis James was a great host They should’ve kept the nighttime price is right all the way into the 90s but I know Dennis James died in 1997 from cancer
Family Feud knocked it out when it decided to expand to five days a week.
He was a longtime Chesterfield cigarette smoker and on television ads for TPIR in the newspaper, he can be seen posing with his signature smoker's pipe.
like trebek
That convertible Chevy is out of hand.
Aired October 9, 1975
Hmm... 1972 contestants row sets... but 1976 looking turntables...
Looks better with the red, green, orange blue contestants row and red, blue, green and yellow curtains. With the 1972 elements, it doesn't look good.
This appears to be episode #122N, taped July 21, 1975.
26:39 2021? That was a good year

Original commercials too sambos 7eleven
$1.99 for all that food!
Uncle Burl's rice---"silver and gold........."
Any Number (for a car and stereo)
Grocery Game (for a family room set)
1 Right Price (for an organ and a fridge freezer)

I started watching the Price is Right at the age of nine, in 1977.
The nighttime version aired on WMAQ 5 (NBC) here in Chicago when I was a kid.
Thanks for including the commercials. You must have taped these off the television. I assume that Brad James is actually running this channel? Thanks for sharing this stuff.
My pleasure!
He is
@@bradjames10 Are you Dennis James's son?
@@nextbarker2702 I am. Thanks for coming by…
@@bradjames10 He did a great job doing TPIR, did you watch the daytime show with Bob?
Farrell's Ice Cream:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farrell%27s_Ice_Cream_Parlour
They were on CNBC's "The Profit" a few years ago.
Julie did excellent on one right price. 😀👍
Johnny Olson at 9:10 summadummalummadummmayouassumingimahuman (eminem reference) 😂
16:10 - they obviously did not restart the cue from the beginning as they should have. You actually hear it all the way to the end here.
I like to call him Dennis "DuMont" James.
I've got to go to Sambo's. I can't pass up a $1.99 meal.
5:47 that's so ironic.
I recognize Janice and Dian, but who's the third model?
I think that third model was Anitra Ford, who was still with the daytime show then as well.
No - this was during a period when Anitra was doing other projects. Dian was filling in for Anitra here. The third model is an actress named Phyllis 17:10
His voice is very similar to Bob Barker.
Thats Dian Parkinson @ 25:25 in a brunette wig! WOW!!!!!!
It was a wig - an attempt to make her look more like Anitra would have. When she became a full-time model with the hour-long show, off goes the wig.
18:28. Allstate Savings Commercial-Nest Egg.
A Brooklyn mobster hosted the price is right? lol….
Loved the old commercials, especially the one for Sambo's. I sure miss their food.
Zodys
Dennis is certainly touching Deborah enough during the Grocery Game. That was a disappointing loss in that game.
A trip to Haiti in the showcase??? No thanks.
Did Dian Parkinson actually have dark hair?
Yep.
Looks like a wig.
