From Price is Right's 4th season, it's a 1976 episode featuring Lucky Seven, Shell Game, Range Game, Temptation, Hi Lo, and Race Game. Bob Barker hosts.
Fantastic episode! Don't think I've ever seen Hi Lo before for that type of prize, and I love the brief run where green instead of red indicated the top winner.
This was one of the first times we heard the regular "Walking" cue for The Price is Right. We started to hear more brassy cues for cars about a month later, like Big Banana, Bean Stalker, and Family Feud.
I wish they had the whole gameplay of the original playing of Cliffhangers, because it was originally played with 4 small prizes on the pedestals. and instead of having from 0 to 25, they have lines from the bottom to the top of the mountain.
So strange to see Temptation played 4th...in the very early days of the Hour Power they had more time to do so but usually the games in the 4th slot tend to be quicky games. The Showcase Showdown wheel seemed either much lighter back in those days or a lot less tension on the wheel than they have had in more recent years. I imagine the tension was made tighter as there has been less and less time for the show due to more and more commercials.
They tried to put that tessellated tapestry on everything...(12:16) Kinda looks like Johnny Carson's desk during his early years in L.A. from a distance
Always weird to think that more time has passed from when this reran on GSN to now, than passed from its original airing to its rerun
Thanks For Sharing!
Now THAT'S A FIRST! The music cue had me thrown off..A NEW CAR! A Ford Pinto at that. What a SURPRISE!
2 weeks exactly after this show, my favorite pricing game of all debuts.💖

It's from the day after the birth of the Cliffhangers game.
Those reactions to Showcase 1 are priceless.

5:06 $4,279, the price of that 1976 Buick Skylark.
In 2024, it would cost 💲 2️⃣3️⃣,5️⃣7️⃣9️⃣

Always love a surprise third car game! Wish they still did that on occasion.
The $4200 showcase was itching for a perfect bid!
I don’t think I saw this episode before. Interesting that they mention a cigarette 🚬 lighter as a feature in the car.
5:01 *Now* seven comes up for Janet? And she loses that ‘76 Buick Skylark, just like that?
Too bad you can't get the episode from the day prior - it was the debut of Cliff Hangers.
All six pricing games still are part of the rotation in 2024 and Race Game looks pretty much the very same now as it did then! AMAZING!

Omg Dian is so beautiful!!! 😍
