And even when school was cancelled because of a snowstorm, extreme heat, or we were on summer vacation - this was the place to be, even right up though Bob Barker's retirement. Hard to believe it's now 17 years ago today that he retired from hosting this show after 35 years on TPIR, and 50 years overall on television.
I was sick with the flu when I was a little girl and I had to miss a few days of school and I watched the Price is Right episodes with Gene Wood. I thought that his voice was unsuited to be the announcer of the Price is Right. Rod Roddy's voice was more equivalent to Johnny Olson.
Gene was good but he wasn't right to announce on TPIR. Gene liked to accent and drag out his words like he was announcing an event. Johnny had a easy flow to his voice. He sounded slicker and could announce like he was double parked.

Mark Goodson never worked for Fremantle. He owned TPIR. After his passing in 1992, his son Mark took over, but because he didn't have the same passion for gameshows as his father, he sold the company to another group, who eventually got bought out by Fremantle Media.
His son was Jonathan Goodson and he took over until it was sold. He later opened his own production company. Now, Fremantle owns the entire Goodson library and rights to shows like Price.
Mark liked Ray Combs as the host of Family Feud, but John didn't have a good opinion of Ray. Not long after Mark passed away and John took over operations, Ray was fired as host of Family Feud, and Dawson came back to host the show, which only lasted one season. Sadly, Ray's life went into a downward spiral after being fired from Family Feud, which led to him committing suicide a few years later.
Gene Wood tried to infuse energy into his announcing of these showcases, but he just wasn't a good fit for TPIR. Still helped out in a pinch after Johnny's passing, though, until eventual replacement Rod Roddy was hired.

Never remember school being canceled for extreme heat.
I loved being home from school, 😂, also because of ALL the daytime game shows. ❤ 👍👍👍👍
Facts. Whether it's holiday break being sick or summer vacation watching THE PRICE IS RIGHT & other daytime game shows made my morning

Furniture plus a nice speed boat, in this example.

For me, the cure for sickness and days off from school was tuning into Price at 11 am.
It's been on CBS at 11am eastern since 1979. If it moves out of that time slot, it's dead.
TPIR, the Pyramid, super password, let's make a deal, press your luck etc.....👍👍👍👍
I remember watching Price when I am having a sick day, if there's a no school day or winter/spring/summer break.
From the showcase segments of the 11/25/85 episode of The Price is Right featuring prizes revealed by guest announcer Gene Wood.
Apparently the first episode of The Price Is Right that wasn't announced by Johnny Olson. RIP Johnny. 1910-1985.
Actually the first episode without Johnny was November 11, 1985 (although skipped on the channel).
I wonder if those who stopped at Rome on "Press Your Luck" and were lucky enough to win stayed at the same hotel seen on this video?
How much was that boat😮😮😮😮
My siblings and I called it "sick of school" days occasionally.
Fun-sized.

I absolutely 💯 agree with you Silvia. You had & still have terrific insight.
David is just a sick person.
@davidellis5141 Gene was good but his voice didn't fit the pace of the show.
Wow! I love Gene Wood but he was so amped up today, and it didn’t come off naturally.

A boat with a 454 Chevrolet Corvette engine. Now that's a seafaring vehicle.

I wish they still gave boats like that away. Heck they'd probably be $45-55k
Yeah, if I owned a hot tub, I'm not gonna fill it with chicken noodle soup.😂

Eugene Wood is great as if Randy West is. If Mark Goodson worked for Fremantle Media until his death in 1992, he knows how to dominate.
