- HUGE THANKS TO IMAD KHURI AND STEPHEN WYLIE FOR UNEARTHING THIS PIECE OF HISTORY!
The full episode can be found in Imad's Facebook group. "Game Show Flashback"
I found the entire episode on my Facebook timeline a little while back and posted a Hurdles clip from it earlier this month. However, I know this is the real thing that everyone wants to see. This is the final playing of Professor Price from November 21st, 1977.
"That professor Price I have a feeling is going to become a very popular fellow"
Yep - because it is IMPOSSIBLE to lose this game. The flaws finally were exposed with this playing..
Yep after only two playings, sent to the proverbial guillotine
Professor Price is in Pricing Game hell alongside Double Digits, Shower Game and others
A popular fellow indeed in Pricing Game heaven!
@@digiblader1 Not only that, it also involves knowing general knowledge questions with a numeric answer, which has little to do with knowing the price of the car, or anything for that matter.
If she lost, Professor Price raises both hands with his middle finger extended.
lmao omg looks like he will go from professor price to professor stone cold steve austin 🤣
That would've been awesome!😂
If I recall correctly, Professor Price literally didn't have middle fingers to prevent that. 🤣
Fun fact.
Professor Price is Chucky's great uncle.
Lol!
I think this game appealed to the kids who watched the show more than the adults. My opinion.
I always wondered what Bob himself thought of this game. His enthusiasm for this game seemed genuine, but I'm sure inside he was thinking "They really expect me to talk to this mannequin as if it's a living person?!?!?" I wonder if Bob had any say about this game getting the axe?
I've literally been waiting for this video for years!! Thank you so much for posting it.
Yes!!!! The second and final airing of Professor Price! Thank you!
I only learned about Professor Price today when he was brought up on today's game of Cover Up. Now I've seen all the episodes, I guess. I can die a happy man!
I did some research and it came out a year before I was born. I can see why Bob Barker himself was NOT a fan of the game but I'm happy that both times the game was played resulted into wins.
That Professor price is going to be a popular fellow
Yeah, about that
Just two playing's of this game and two car winners, I'd say Professor Price was having a winning streak.
Professor looked pissed when ask can he help her win he car. Lol.
Whoever's idea was it to make this game is the real guy to blame.
Thanks so much for this upload. This game was lame, but it's still nice to see a rarity from this show.
I think Professor Price got the axe due to its creepiness factor rather than producers supposedly objecting to a trivia segment being added to the show...
And this has been the ONLY pricing game to retire without a loss.
Well, not counting Double Bullseye.
I’ve been looking for this for awhile, I believe this game was only played twice.
This is the second and final playing of the game
That car is beautiful, I love the old Chevy Nova
Someone had to have been high on something to have created this game.
We are talking about the early to mid 70’s here, so it’s a possibility.
@@insertnamehere663 1978 to be exact. However this was The Gong Show/ Jimmy Carter era too.
This is on TPIR decades for Wii, never heard of it before that.
I think I know another reason why this game was axed so quickly
IT'S CREEPY AS FUCK
Hahahahahahaha hahahahaha hahahaha!
I’ve seen animatronics much creepier than that.
@@davidwilliamson2876 same. The one's Chuck E Cheese had back in the day were definitely wierder than this dude.
@@starfox22 interestingly 1977 being the year when this episode of Price is Right aired was the same year that Chuck E. Cheese was founded.
So professor price can make angry faces when contestants answer wrong and makes happy face when they answer right! That’s plain creepy!
I'm with you, it is creepy!!
@@nicholasleach352 yes, it is!
Between the ridiculously stupid looking puppet and lack of pricing which is integral to the show's format it's no surprise why this game was so short lived. Crazy still is that even then both of the playings were winners and as such is the only one of the retired games with a winning record.
Just wow, out of all the retired games this had to be hands down the worst setup ever conceived.
@hdayejr Absolutely, i'm guessing that he didn't think this one through very well. There's been games which got sent to the scrap heap like Bullseye 1 for excessive difficulty plus other games which didn't work for one reason or another like On the Nose or On the Spot. Then there's pure WTF level garbage such as Professor Price, because the game totally went against what TPIR is at it's core as in a show where people apply knowledge of prices to win prizes.
Bob Barker hosted a show with a robot(Simon?) shortly before starting the price is right...That show didn't last long but the 70's technology was big on this animatronics stuff...
« I have the feeling that he’s going to be a very popular fellow » on his second and final playing for the wrong reasons.
I think a lot of people actually really like this game but they literally wanted to see it updated
I have a feeling that Professor Price is going to become a very popular fellow. Gonna guess considering this was the last playthrough that wasn't the case.
The game wasn't that bad, the character and prop could have been redesigned to be less creepy. The game was more of a trivia game and TPIR was never considered trivial, more guessing the price and actual games.
Professor Price might have lasted longer if the contestants had been required to give their responses in the form of a question.
Lawsuit would've happened against Goodson/Todman for using Jeopardy! Format.
Like the line "You have a finger up". I wonder if the middle finger was put up first in one segment and they cut it. Would have been a hilarious scene.
They purposely designed him with four fingers on each hand, to prevent that problem from happening.
This worked better than the first playing with the questions being picked. Debra got unlucky picking the 3 star general (I would've guessed 4 as well) but lucky because with 2 3's in the car it was pretty obvious that 3 wasn't in the price. In the first playing, I have a feeling they intentionally made the answers of the first two questions the first two numbers in the price of the car.
My dad had a Chevrolet Nova almost exactly like that except it was light blue.
1:19: Oooooooooooooooooooooooooh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Dig it!
Snap into a Slim Jim..
Congratulations
YEAAAAAAAH
Please for the love of God have Drew Carey bring back Professor Price! l'm sure he would liven the game up a notch.
Nope. We have enough of his awfulness day in and day out. We don't need more of him.
This game looked like a good addition to the price is right game library, it’s the only game to have every contestants to win. Only played twice. Sadly never to return
I had an old Nova beater. Someone gifted it to me. I think it was 20 years old when I got it. I drove it for many years.
If you lose Professor Price gives you a middle finger.
I love that Yellow Chevy Nova. And the girl that won it is very cute too! 😍
4:32 Yes that Professor Price, I have a feeling, is going to become a very popular fellow… No, he’s going to become a very retired fellow! 😂
I love the set and the game. Interesting that both contestants won. Maybe it was considered too easy. I know that it looks too technically complicated.
I ALWAYS WANTED A SEDAN
1:19 Professor Price thinking he's Macho Man Randy Savage.
Pomp and Circumstance has been played in colleges and high schools for graduation ceremonies. And a professor is associated with colleges. Plus, it was before Macho Man Randy Savage even wrestled, so Professor Price used it before he did.
price is right
RIP Bob. Simply the best
Just remember. This game, and Double Digits actually have winners to their names while Plinko has never seen one.
That's because it's impossible to win $50,000
@@matthewcasiglio2539 I know. That's why Plinko is the worst pricing game ever made, yet so many people kiss its ass.
@@SupermarketSweep777 I agree! I think Plinko is TPIR's most overrated game! If i want to watch a cash game, I'd rather watch Punch-A-Bunch!
@@disneyfan8178 Same. Even Pay the Rent kicks Plinko's ass.
@@matthewcasiglio2539
Difficult, yes, impossible, never.
This proves it:

Holy crap! A brand new car for $5133 !!!
You wish that's today's price of cars, don't you? Giggle!🤭
Looks like Rachel Dratch after a long day at the beach
A collector got ahold of this, and eventually sold it on ebay in the 2000's.
A) Would have been funny if professor Price stuck the middle finger up.
B) Bob says "I bet that professor Price is gonna be a popular fellow." The next Day: it got retired lol
This game could be revived with Drew thanks to all of the modern technology.
Creepy
Yeah.
@@MorganNye
I'd rather moan and groan for my sweet bonbon rather than that putrid phoney Professor Price Is Wrong, 𧣥%!!
I have to assume that when the contestant lost it was the middle finger that popped up on Professor Price.
i wonder y drew carey didn't do this game to the current players
Probably Drew Carey wanted that professor price back to the price is right.
Nah, I don't know who's idea was it to make this game.
If they brought Professor Price back, then they should hire an actor to play as the professor and have it do multiple choice answers and track right/wrong answers on the monitor.
Safe to say that puppet has long been trashed
This was a strange game.
This game is antithetical to everything that is "The Price Is Right". Very little pricing elements, no audience help allowed, and educational questions that anyone can miss. I'm glad that this game was played only twice. I'll bet they got a lot of letters outlining these same complaints. Screw Professor Price.
That pricing game is so easy. Because I love this one. But he dont look creepy.
You’ll have your correct answers on your right hand and the incorrect answers on the left hand
He puts this summer for the correct answer
What were the Pricing Games played that Day?
I've never seen this game before now. Very weird - glad they got rid of it!
This pricing game did not last too long.
Janice never aged!
nice
I wonder if the inspiration for this game came from Goodson/Todman's "Two For The Money" & Dr. Gross: th-cam.com/video/bGJ9fmZfLcg/w-d-xo.html
It works well on that show but doesn't translate to TPiR.
If she gave a wrong answer Professor Price gave her the finger!
Professor Price a game only played twice.
A potential technical glitch could have happened with those fingers, if the index fingers malfunctioned. Then what?
As I recall, the Professor had precisely four digits on each hand to prevent that problem.
Take 2 :-)
It'll be bad if that middle finger came up first
@@LittleRockElevators Of course, flipping off with the middle finger is NOT family-friendly at all.
@@itetpirsonicfan3931 which is a good thing it short lived from preventing that from happening.
I never saw PROFESOR PRICE
host bob barker announcer johnny olson
Professor Price was only played TWICE on The Price Is Right, and both times, the car was won. The game itself was very out of place on the show, what with trivia questions with numerical answers between 0-9 and seeing if the numbers were in the car's price.
Professor price did not work out.
4:32 WRONG BOB!
Wait? Did the owl hoot when Deborah won the car?? This game is beyond bizarre😂
Yeah, it did
The reason it was axed cause 1 the proffesor and 2 the questions are stupid and 3 The proffesor swears.
the price is right
A NEW 1978 CHEVY NOVA! With an in-line 6 and a 3 speed automatic transmission! And government-approved lug nuts and tires!
1:24 y’all have the correct answers on his right hand, and the incorrect answer in his left hand
How many question cards are there? I can't tell if it's 3 or 4.
I’d imagine 4 for the amount of numbers in the car
It looks like 3
That owl is something
I think there was an error when Prof. Price shook his head in a weird way, like a vent dummy.
Wouldn't it be nice if Professor Price came back?
Yes!!! I wanna see what would happen if it was done with Drew!!!
@@always-love-ren I wish Professor Price Would appear in the Carey in the 2020s or the 2030s soon, because they give the first number and the last two numbers for free if they play for automobiles only.
@@always-love-ren Nah.
@@always-love-ren drew Carey blows as the host. He’s completely awful and should be fired immediately and removed from existence
@@HipsterDoofus100 yeah right, he doesn't care for the contestants to win still to this day.
November 21, 1977
I vaguely remember that I was being fed strained turkey, mashed potatoes, and applesauce when I was a little cutie!
4:17 that’s your third correct answer
How on earth did trivia questions end up on TPIR? Big fail.
I can really see why this game got axed, given that knowing the price of the car is meaningless since you could get both of the questions about the car wrong and still win
I don't think the puppet's really that creepy though, I've certainly seen worse
Oooooh the Macho Man is not pleased with the Professor.
3:35 yes wow
4:19 The owl is moving
professor price
Oh that’s the name of the game 1:23 1:29 1:31
Trivia questions on TPIR? No wonder this one didn't last long at all
4:13 4:17 yes they got three right answers
3:07 yes
Is Professor Price and Doctor Noble Price are separated at birth? I just asking right here on TH-cam channel for now!
3:09 wow
i didn.t like this pricing game professor price.it was first played on november 14th in 19.and it was last played on november .in 19.it it isn.t still played and it is retired.
The right answer was three 2:38
1:20 1:28 1:29 1:31
I can see why Professor Price was dumped. The game was very complicated mechanically and WAY too prone to breakdowns.
3:27 five dollar bill
