It's great to see past episodes of the price is right. Those models looked hot in that swimwear. Seeing that pinball machine brought back memories. I grew up in the 1970's. Still is a great game show today 👍.
Of course, we are all accustomed to seeing Bob Barker as host of The Price Is Right. And Barker will always be the best. But one must give credit where credit is due... Dennis James was pretty darn good. Rest In Peace, Mr. James.
May or may not be of interest to you but the original plan was for Dennis James to be THE host of The Price Is Right. Bob Barker didn't want to do it at first as he was still busy with Truth Or Consequences. Then Bob Barker changed his mind. He did both for two to two and a half years.
@@frankmaiorana66 BILL CULLEN WAS HOST OF THE ORIGINAL PRICE IS RIGHT--1956-65-HE WAS GREAT IN THAT VERSION BUT IN THIS CURRENT PRICE--OF COURSE BOB BARKER WAS INDEED THE BEST HOWEVER THE LATE DENNIS JAMES & THE LATE TOM KENNEDY WERE ALSO GREAT HOSTS OF BOTH NIGHTTIME SYNDICATED VERSIONS OF PRICE!!
By the way, the man in the opening credits with glasses is Earl Mad Man Muntz....He invented the eight track stereo and big screen TV, among other things.
It's always a treat seeing Dennis James in action, especially working with Johnny Olson. What surprised me was the opening PSA. I don't know who the voice belongs to, but he was an NBC staffer in the '50s. I've heard him on promos/system cues on some of the old radio shows.
Despite being a syndicated program - carried by all of the NBC owned and operated stations (only five at the time), notice that they kept the brown CBS curtains with the eye clearly visable. When the second incarnation of the syndicated Price is Right starred Tom Kennedy, it appeared they changed the curtains for some of the episodes to solid colors so that there was no identification with CBS. And despite no mention of taped at Television City in the rolling credits, people know it's the same studio as the day time program.
My assumption was that NBC's O&Os at the minimum were heartsick for the old TPIR, having been a success before in both morning and evening during its original run at that network. On the other hand, Match Game PM was also adapted from a CBS daytime show, but snapped up by ABC's stations in their five markets.
I didn't know that. Also, there was a pricing game on The New Price is Right where there would be two contestants standing behind the showcase podium continuously guessing the price of a car back a fourth until someone gets it correct
Interesting that Grocery Game was originally revealed before the prize was shown, even though the daytime version stopped doing this around 1974. Probably there was a rule in this nighttime version where the game would be revealed first.
@DennisJames I would like to know how often you upload videos because if you get a chance I would like to know if you could upload more nighttime Price Is Right episodes from 1977 with commercials aired on KNBC-TV Los Angeles as I mentioned a few months ago.
You'd probably meant Any Number. And you'd be right about the Family Fued theme being used. For a time, this was used as one of the cues for when a car is presented between this 1975 until about 1985 or so.
No Sir, this is the Night time Price is Right which Dennis Hosted from 1972 to 1977. Dennis sold the Day time and Night time version along with Mark Goodson in 1972. Bob Hosted the Daytime on CBS, Dennis Hosted the Night time version that was syndicated mostly on NBC stations.
@@dennisjames7576 oh that makes sense. I have been a big fan of the price is right since I was maybe three years old maybe back then I would always call it the wheel show because of the big wheel since I am blind I rely totally on audio and I’ve got a big kick out of the sound at the wheel made as it went around beep beep beep beep beep beep. Never knew there was a nighttime price is right this is awesome
@@bradjames10 I'm telling you, Barker has his hooks in the show. No episode in reruns has ever had a fur coat in it. Why don't you talk to Barker himself?
@@bradjames10 HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Oh, Brad, have you seen Game Show Network now? It's mostly original game shows and marathons of Steve Harvey's Family Feud. You should try Buzzr. That's owned by Fremantle (who owns Goodson).
FYI, Janice was going through a crisis at the time as her boyfriend Fritz had disappeared while skiing near Middle Eastern borders and have not been found since the episode was taped.
That Grocery Game prize package, The $3000 Table, opened like a Showcase skit

Dennis James died in 1997 of lung cancer. He smoked Chesterfield cigarettes.

@@JasonA.Routhier-vw1wd I recently(several years ago)about Bill Cullen's Price Is Right from the 50s and 60s.
By the way, the man in the opening credits with glasses is Earl Mad Man Muntz....He invented the eight track stereo and big screen TV, among other things.
The prizes on the syndicated version were a little better.
More advertising revenue...the original Bill Cullen version was the same way
This Price Is Right video brings back memories too.

The Tappan commercial was done by Harry Spellman, who did Metro Chevy Dealer commercials in the Buffalo.NY in the 1970s into the early 1980s
Family feud music to price is right night time

Miss you Dennis James 😢
You bring a tapestry; as for me, alpaca wall hanging
I believe this is #183N
Leonard Nimoy was announcing the commercial for "In Search of...."
I think James' son created this channel for his father.
I didn't know that. Also, there was a pricing game on The New Price is Right where there would be two contestants standing behind the showcase podium continuously guessing the price of a car back a fourth until someone gets it correct
@@alanmichaelsen1761 I know that game. It was retired quickly.
Brad James is quiet active on social media, especially Facebook.

...why couldn't the cashier at my supermarket look and dress as gorgeous as Janice? Just saying.
The models outfits are kind of nice, actually really nice.
Elton John had an album called _Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy_. The pinball machine appears to be a reference to him.
It was.
There was an episode from 1976 in which Johnny Olsen dresses up like Elton John himself!
Holly Hallstrom wasn't in this one. She was with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders at the time.
Janice, Anitra and Dian. Holly replaced Anitra in early 1977.
Anitra was not in this episode but a model named Linda.
The ymca ad
price is right on knbc does that mean kabc & kcbs
3:42 - The Price is Right presents.... THE THREE-THOUSAND-DOLLAR TABLE!
"Oh my!" George Takei as a pitchperson for Dristan?
I thought that was him (with some very 70s hair)
LInda wasn't a model very long.

When was this episode taped?
Anybody notice the theme from Family Feud during Game #2??? (The Piggy Bank Game)
yep i did
You'd probably meant Any Number. And you'd be right about the Family Fued theme being used. For a time, this was used as one of the cues for when a car is presented between this 1975 until about 1985 or so.
Concentration also used a lot of TPIR music cues, especially during its fifth and final season (1977-78)
Dennis James do you know what is the airdate for the nighttime episode and nice video
The shows were sent out to stations who aired them whenever they wanted to air them. Sometimes syndicated programs would air a year later.
Never understood why they used family feud theme as car music. Not like match game hollywood squares theme - as thatvshow was cancelled by then
Who was that other model? I know the two were Janice and Dian.
Anitra Ford 😍
So was this from before Bob Bark

23:27 - One reason why you'll never see The Nighttime Price is Right in reruns. A fur coat.
Greg Palmer don’t be so sure.....😘

Greg Palmer The game show network paid my dad for all of his shows years ago. I think we can just wait this one out.

Greg Palmer I was simply giving you information. Be well.
Grocery Game (for a dinner table)
Any Number (for a bar set or a car) piggy bank won
Most Expensive (for a sterio, organ and a projection TV)
Dian looks healthy. Janice looks too thin.
Dian was drop dead gorgeous.
FYI, Janice was going through a crisis at the time as her boyfriend Fritz had disappeared while skiing near Middle Eastern borders and have not been found since the episode was taped.
@@meyerj75 Fritz and Janice were actually married at the time of his disappearance.
