I've looped back around on Barker era Price is Right.

Some of these people are cosplaying as curtains.

Also guess how much a 15 day guided European vacation, complete Le Creuset set, and a Super 8 video camera costs in 1972?

$1,903. Both contestants overbid on their showcases by more than $1,000.

Even they were like, holy shit it's 1972, I could buy a house by emptying my piggybank.

Also why am I pentesting today?!

I should have never looked for this in the first place.

It was because my mom was watching The Price is Right and I got bored but still wanted to be next to my mom and I got a hunch and pulled out my laptop and sat next to my mom while she watched Drew Carey and we just parallel played for a bit and then I found it!!!! And I told my mom about it! She said "That's nice dear but I'm watching my shows" and I think that technically violated my NDAs but she wasn't really listening so a tree in the forest and all of that. Anyhoo.... not sure what to do with this finding...

This is a good example why I stopped watching #ThePriceIsRight after #BobBarker left (a contestant being 1$ off in the showcase a month ago [2024-06-07 - show 0654L]):

I did give #DrewCarey a chance when he started hosting, but could tell by the time the "Perfect Bid" happened in 2008, that he would have this bitter side (not that Bob was a saint, by any means, either). Drew's commentary after the reveal speaks a lot about how he still thinks they way he does to this day.

Me thinks @Bigrigtravels will enjoy watching this... Behind the scenes at #ThePriceIsRight for episode 6104D, which taped on March 19, 1986 -- only two days after Steve attended a taping of his own:

This was produced by WCCO out of Minneapolis/St. Paul and includes looks into the contestant line & interview process with Phil Wayne, some of Rod Roddy's warmup, as well as video from the prize warehouse & backstage. The camera/staging work is given particular emphasis. #BTS

This is quite something...
A video recording from 1958-10-08 that begins with 70 seconds of the closing of an original #ThePriceIsRight airing -- in colour:

Extremely rare, if not the first time I think we are able to see a bit of a #BillCullen -hosted #NBC broadcast of #PriceIsRight -- "in living colour".
The Kraft Music Hall programme, presented by #MiltonBerle , is interesting in itself. Thank you​ to his widow, Lorna, for donating the tape to #UCLA for preservation.
