NGL, the music in this variation of the show is the most distinct and cool. Watching the show during the evening was a real treat for families like my own.
Gran Trak 10, the precursor to the Sprint series, culminating with Super Sprint, Championship Sprint, and Badlands, each appearing in the three Midway Arcade Treasures compilations, respectively.
This episode shows you how impractical some of the prizes on the show were back in the day. A personal airplane? She was probably happy she went over. I was a showcase winner earlier this season (Season 52) on the first day of taping in the new studio. I wanted to win a car but got a boat instead. Maybe I'll go on another game show and win a car to pull the boat. Lol.
From an adult perspective, I kind of enjoyed this. Dennis James would have fit just right in the Drew Carey era with his rapid fire hosting techniques, something that even Bob Barker would have a hard time keeping up with.
Pamela Howard won an airplane some two years later in a similar showcase, and ended up with $24,285 in cash & prizes in all. We hope to see this 1976 episode (152N) in its entirety.
From a 70's perspective, those were amazing showcases. Wad this weekly syndication like Family Feud started out or nightly? The show just seems too expensive for it to be in daily syndication for the time. Thanks for posting this, though. Really fun episode.
Yeah, it was weekly syndication. The budget here was CRAZY compared to the daytime show. One 1974 episode even had a GLASSIC ROMULUS II in one of the showcases and it valued the showcase at *$22,650* (around $144,000 today, might I add)
It’s interesting to see other hosts of classic Price. I thought Tom Kennedy did a nice job. Dennis James is competent but has more of an edge than Bob Barker or Kennedy and comes across a bit like a used car salesman.

1:22 Well, well, *well!* This was a first: an Atari arcade machine being offered as the first IUFB.

Four years later, Midway/Taito's "Space Invaders" was present in a showcase.
They may have given away a Pong arcade game before this.
@@Nickrj3 I've seen Let's Make A Deal give away Pong video games before on a console television set, but never anything like this.
Very first video machine
Boy... those night time TPIR showcases were long and they gave away a lot of high dollar loot throughout the whole 30 mins..❤❤❤ Great upload!
Love Dennis James and the way he hosts

The shell game like clock game 2 of the very first and original price is right games are still played in the drew Carrey era
I hate double overbids at the end.
This happened at least twice on the nighttime version. Here and, sadly enough, Dennis James' last hosted episode (195N).
All that packaged processed food!
She would have had to give some away in her neighborhood.
Don't recall a night time version of tpir. Dennis James seems a little hurried with his speech and mannerisms compared to Bob Barker.
