The days of Janice Pennington, in the green tent dress, and Anitra Ford in red. The thing about this episode that intrigued me was how quickly Anitra had to move in the second showcase at 16:12. The coffee was described, and then as the camera went to Cheryl the contestant at 16:19, Anitra flies off-camera. In EIGHT SECONDS, she manages to move behind door 2 to show the prizes when Johnny finishes describing the book Janice is holding. Door 1 had to have been open enough to let her in. There is no way she could have run completely offstage and back around behind doors 1 and 2 in that short of time.
I always got a kick out of the early "Clock Game" playings-at the end, when the game board rotated away on the turntable, the clock magically reset itself.
Back in the 1970's when I growing up, I remember the gremlin and the pinto were popular cars back then. My parents had a gremlin. I liked that car. They quit making them a long time ago. Still is a great game show today 😄.
+Granny LaLa The big wheel did not appear until later in 1975, when the show became one hour long. In the 1/2 hr shows, the top two winning contestants (out of 3) go to the showcase.
oldiesmusic76 Thank you, I watched more videos and found that out. I was too busy being a teen in high school not home watching fuddy duddy grown up shows LOL!!
+Granny LaLa Yep, up until 1975. When they experimented with an hour then permanent later. It was luck of the draw, somebody might play for a car while another person would play for a console TV. So the two who won the most were in the showcase.

I miss when CBS used to air these back in the years of the Pilsbury Bake-Off. Remember a couple of them from around 2000 or so.
Yes, I remember CBS airing this classic episode of "TPiR" in 2002.
Miss you hosting "TPiR", Bob Barker!!!
They also used to do original 1/2 hour episodes

I agree, it is a hoot to see that!

I wonder when they started to give contestants the 100 dollars when they got the exact price while bidding to get on stage ?
This is one of the episode that was re-aired
Didn't know Freddy Mercury 19:48 was in the audience
The show was only 30 minutes long and no spin? I really started watching the show in the early 80's for a while.

5/23/1975,to be exact.This was 3 days before Memorial Day.
*player, today, they exit contestants row anyway.
Why when Bob hosted did the page insist the play exited stage right?
If I were James Michener, I'd feel insulted...
Who's James Michener?
EricEbac22 An author...ever heard of
CENTENNIAL? Or SOUTH PACIFIC (he wrote the novel that was the basis for the musical)
Paul Duca Nope, I've never heard of any "Centennial" or "South Pacific".
This must have been shown before the pillsbury bake off
