3 great Chevy automobiles shows on this episode: A blue Monte Carlo Landau Coupe A red Chevelle Malibu Station Wagon And an orange Corvette Beautiful '77 Chevy's!!
Great episode! It's a shame Dennis's time on the show was coming to an end, because he was really having fun with the show. Plus, fun to hear Splendido not during the Showcase!
Like WOW, Janice, Dian and Julie They remind me of Charlie's Angels the way they dressed and speaking of which, during the 76/77 Season, Charlie's Angels not only became the 3rd most watched show of the season, but it also became THE #1 NEW Drama on Prime Time Television and it helped make abc THE #1 Network on Prime Time Television
I was only 14 years old when this episode was recorded. Dennis James was a great Host. If it was today, Larry would have won both showcases and won $500 for a perfect bid on contestants row. It was great seeing Diane Parkinson on the show. Sometimes I miss seeing those models they had back then. Still a great game show today 👍.
Tom Kennedy’s 1985 Nighttime Price is patterned much like this format with Dennis. Gotta love the raw enthusiasm and cue music as well. Thanks for sharing!
First item up for bids - that was one of the models auditioning for the position just vacated by Anitra Ford.We all know that Holly Hallstrom would end up landing the role.Another observation - when the contestant hit the one bid on older shows, Dennis used to say "The Price is Right!" That was actually a neat touch to the game. He told Larry! 20:36 - the ending of Starcrossed!
JZCRAZY I would have remembered these nighttime episodes if I were a little older. However, a lot of folks didn't pick-up the uncredited cameo he had in Rocky III. He was one of the ringside announcers in one of the scenes, probably the main match with Rocky vs. Clubber Lang.
I agree. By rule nowadays, he'd end up a "Double Showcase Winner" & $30,286 plus the $500 bonus, for $30,786 in cash & prizes. A shoutout to our Houston, TX viewers, who watched it on KTRK - ABC Channel 13! Mondays at 18.30.
Dennis James did some Kellogg's cereal commercials for WHAT'S MY LINE? back in the 60s. He was as heartily convincing then as he was on the nighttime TPIR...
You can tell that Lucky Seven was a relatively new game at this point, because people were trying to guess the number on the nose instead of strategically picking a number with the most spread. Had the contestant called two 5's for the last two digits, she would have won the car.
Larry was a great contestant. He did great. If that was today, he would have won $500 for perfect bid and both showcases for less than $250. He did great.
I watch this episode regularly. I enjoy Larry's appreciative enthusiasm, and also the way Dennis enjoyed him as a contestant. But I most admired Larry's no-nonsense decisive approach to pricing. He assessed things quickly, and was very direct, even if he thought he might have made a mistake...which he really didn't...
@@tamekiarochelle4233Also for each of those 3 One Bid Prizes & 2 Showcases, I would have guessed the following. Cocktail Cabinet: $1,050 Silver-Plated Serving Collection: $1,000 Color TV: $510 1st Showcase: $10,500 2nd Showcase: $15,000
does anyone have the episode where Dennis inadvertently yelled, "There goes Fritz," at a Cliff Hangers loss, not knowing about Janice's situation at the time?
Larry was such a great contestant! I couldn't help but thrust my arms in the air when he won both Cliff Hangers and the Showcase. Since I'm so used to modern TPIR standards, though, seeing the third small prize cost less than the second small prize in Cliff Hangers was nothing short of bizarre for me. I was actually afraid that Larry would lose for that reason!
Whew! I thought this was the "There Goes Fritz" episode once the Cliff Hangers game showed up. Maybe it's on as the third pricing game in a different episode or something like that.
6:55-- In case you're wondering why Larry didn't get a cash bonus for bidding on the nose in the One Bid, it's because the perfect One Bid bonus didn't exist until May '77. And don't say it didn't exist at all in syndication unless we see legitimate proof.
It also did not exist on Dennis' run at all, neither did the double showcase win. But win Dennis pinch hit for Bob in daytime they did have perfect bids and double showcase possibilities
No proof there was no perfect bid bonus in the One Bid in this syndicated run. We didn't see any episodes from a date beyond this that had a perfect One Bid.
And I just said above you: Based on the episodes we've seen so far, there is no proof there was no One-Bid bonus. Well aware of the unexplained lack of the DSW rule in the syndicated version, but still...
I thought Dennis James did a fine job and it's too bad Bob Barker's ego got in the way and he had to take over because he thought Dennis wasn't doing as good enough job as he did. His ego is more inflated because not real fans of TPIR think the show isn't the same without Bob. Let me tell you something, the show is and was NOT ABOUT BOB!! It's about prices,games, Models on treadmills wearing highheals, not about the host. Drew Carey has done a fine job. Love thatRat Race game.
+James Bonnen James i get that your not a fan of Bob Barker's, but let's clear something up here. Bob wasn't always like what he was later on in his run as host. Back then he had no stake in the show, so his ego wasn't in question. Of course the show was about Bob Barker, he was the freaking host. I loved this era of the show from the start up to the mid 80's or so. He was one of the best game show hosts ever back then. I loved his interaction with the contestants. He wasn't executive producer until like the early to mid 90's. That's when he got the big ego, that's when all of his troubles started, with all of the behind the scenes crap, with the models, with different staff members. And yes Dennis James may not have been the greatest game show host, but i seriously doubt back then Bob had much say in the show. But of course people tend to focus on Bob's later years, and dirty old man reputation instead of the great game show host he was back then.
+der22672 I don't hate Bob Barker. I love the show. The games, the prizes and the models. To me it doesn't matter who the host is. Unfortunately some people who have the attention span of tee-see flies think that if Bob isn't on the show the show's not the same. If they feel that way than they are not as Bob would say "a loyal friend and true". I just want to see the show stay on the air. The only other bad thing about Barker is his refusal to use some episodes before 1981 where fur coats were given out.
+der22672 Dennis James was freaking awesome as the host. He really was engaging with the contestants. Bob of course was who I've watched and grew up watching but yes it was annoying how he kept bragging saying "On my show." But that's in the 2000's or so, and seemed grumpy sometimes. He does seem like he could have gave Bob a run for his money as host.
+James Bonnen "I thought Dennis James did a fine job and it's too bad Bob Barker's ego got in the way and he had to take over because he thought Dennis wasn't doing as good enough job as he did..." As another pointed out, Bob did not have the power to remove Dennis from the night-time job as he was not the show's producer at that time. But lets not forget: Bob was still working on Truth or Consequences during the early years of TPIR, so having him do the nighttime TPIR would have been a bit much on his plate.
+James Bonnen The actual story of the Bob Barker/Dennis James story of "Price is Right "is this: When Mark Goodson put "Price is Right" back on the air in 1972, Dennis was Goodson's FIRST choice to host the show. "Price" was to be a weekly syndicated show hosted by Dennis James (this video is an episode of that syndicated version). Bud Grant (head of daytime programming at CBS) liked what he saw during the development stages of "Price" and he wanted to buy the show as a daily CBS program, and I'm sure Mark Goodson was more than happy to sell the show AGAIN (and this time to a actual network!) Mark Goodson would have had Dennis James host the CBS daytime version as well... but there was a problem... Bud Grant would buy "Price" for CBS *ONLY* if Bob Barker was the host. Goodson agreed, BUT Barker did not even want to do "Price is Right". After some convincing from Bud Grant (and probably some $$$$), Bob finally agreed to host the CBS Daytime "Price is Right".... and the rest was history. Regarding Dennis' departure from the nighttime show: after the end of season 5 in 1977, the Syndicated Nighttime show would begin airing on all CBS-owned-and-operated affiliates at the start of the 6th season, giving CBS at least some control over the Syndicated version. They ,of course, wanted their daytime star Bob Barker to host it, and Dennis' contract was not renewed. Barker took over the nighttime show at the start of season 6 in 1977 and it continued to air once a week until it was finally cancelled at the end of the 1979-80 season. The nighttime show in total ran for 8 years and produced exactly 300 episodes. The very last episode (300-N) is somewhere on UA-cam.
Folk on this thread have been mentioning or speculating what Larry Edwards would have won if he had competed in this era of TPIR. Everyone is absolutely correct. But back then it the 70s, four and a half years into TPIR, $14,000+ aggregate in gifts was not bad at all. Not at all. And it should be remembered that, even though prizes (with some exceptions) were still somewhat simple back then (according to today's standards), TPIR in the early and mid 70s seemed to be wholesomely and enjoyably competitive... In two and a half years (September 2022), TPIR will be fifty years old. What will it be like then (sigh)? I don't know if Bob Barker is still alive; but it he is, I hope he will be there...
@@malcolmpusey9535 It wasn't in effect at that time - although the daytime version introduced it around May 1977, the nighttime version didn't have such a bonus.
Dennis James was good, but he was no Bob Barker. I can see why CBS wanted Bob instead of Dennis. He was a little too aggressive for my liking. Much more rough around the edges than Bob.

But it was still....for furniture.
Well the cue was relatively new at the time though and likely debuted sometime in 1976 along with the other music cues from around this timeframe.
It's possible that Dennis wanted to retire; after all, he'd had a very long and successful career in broadcasting!
@@allenjones3130probably, but that wasn’t the reason he stopped doing TNPIR, his contract just expired.

Aired here in Buffalo,NY WGR Ch.2 at 730pm I remember this episode !!!
And speaking of 7:30pm, WKYT carried the nighttime TPIR (alongside the daytime TPIR) every Wednesday night at 7:30pm back in the day.
@@danalong1237 Indianapolis aired it on WISH - CBS 8 (now CW 8). And at 18.30 Mondays on KTRK - ABC Channel 13.
In New York, WNBC-and later, WCBS-aired it, and in Los Angeles, KNBC-and later, KCBS-aired it.
This was on Wednesday nights at 7:30 on WPVI ch. 6

Dennis had such great energy and enthusiasm. Lots of fun to watch. Just as good as Barker and even better in some ways.
JZCRAZY I would have remembered these nighttime episodes if I were a little older. However, a lot of folks didn't pick-up the uncredited cameo he had in Rocky III. He was one of the ringside announcers in one of the scenes, probably the main match with Rocky vs. Clubber Lang.
@@utoobcaneatshitt5745 Dennis James was the ringside announcer for the Rocky-Thunderlips charity match.
If that had been today, Larry would get BOTH SHOWCASES in this case.
I agree. By rule nowadays, he'd end up a "Double Showcase Winner" & $30,286 plus the $500 bonus, for $30,786 in cash & prizes. A shoutout to our Houston, TX viewers, who watched it on KTRK - ABC Channel 13! Mondays at 18.30.
And even in syndication back then, they would have to respect the $25,000 winnings limit because of the network they tape (CBS) and their policy.
Syndication didn't have to observe the limits until the early 80's, after Barry & Enright made CBS angry.
back in the day here in Buffalo it was broadcast on wgr TV 2 730 at night
Back in the day in Lexington, it aired every Wednesday night at 7:30 on WKYT.
A playing of Cliff Hangers where increasing prices and 25-35-45 doesn't apply at all. Very strange.
Great to see new Dennis James episodes!
Yes..It is...love the super long showcases
Dennis James did some Kellogg's cereal commercials for WHAT'S MY LINE? back in the 60s. He was as heartily convincing then as he was on the nighttime TPIR...

Can't recall the last time I heard "Nothing but Furniture" outside a showcase.
I call this "The Larry Episode". Great contestant.

GSNPriceFan3 Larry could've won both showcases
If this had aired in daytime in the same year (1977) with Barker at the helm, he still would not win both as you had to be under $100 at the time
I loved it when Johnny participated in the showcase skits.
Whew! I thought this was the "There Goes Fritz" episode once the Cliff Hangers game showed up. Maybe it's on as the third pricing game in a different episode or something like that.
