I am thoroughly enjoying these episodes of TPIR with Dennis. I was very young when these shows were aired but even as a grade schooler seeing The Nighttime Price is Right was the highlight of my week! Nothing against Bob Barker, but I was disappointed when Dennis left the show. There was something special about how he hosted that made the nighttime show his. These episodes being uploaded bring back great memories for a guy about to turn 49! Thanks so much!
@@dennisjames7576 It's too bad your dad's version won't be on TV ever. At least not during Barker's lifetime. It's because of all those fur coats on every episode.
@@LogoMan7777 And even if Barker passes on, the fur coats may still prevent this version from being rerun unless Fremantle decides to lift it, and unless if they are keen I don't see it happening anytime soon. Probably the only chance we'll see it is the digitizing of episodes here, or from a studio master quality itself.
The opening commercial in this video, for Love's Barbecue, with the red heart-shaped sign with the word 'COCKTAILS', reminds me of the back cover of Sheryl Crow's 1993 debut album, "Tuesday Night Music Club." The cover has a picture of a similar-shaped heart-shaped sign that says "JENNY ROSE CAFE."
It's great to see past episodes of the price is right. Larry was a great contestant. He was the one who won their game on stage. Then winning his showcase. If today, he would have got $500 for perfect bid, and both showcases for bidding less than $250 away from the price of his showcase. Still is a great game show today 👍. Thanks 😊.
Snake99 Back then, you’d won both Showcases if you were less than $100 from your own Showcase without going over (the perfect bid bonus, which was originally $100, wasn’t around yet).
@@johnnyballenatl I remember that back then. I don't remember when they changed it to the perfect item up for bids changed to $500 or showcase less than $250. I am not sure when they changed it. When the show started with Bob Barker, I was only 9 years old. Thanks 😊.
@@johnnyballenatl I always wandered what year they changed it. I couldn't remember when it got changed. So much has changed over the years on the show.
Why wouldn't they? The Dennis James and Tom Kennedy shows were exactly (except in length) the same show as Bob Barker's show. If the game existed on Barker's show at the time of the airing of one of the others, it could air on one of the others (except Showcase Showdown of course). A little case of something that existed then, but sadly rarely does today called, Common Sense.
@@matthewcasiglio2539 Understood (I was born in 66). But still considering you would have learned by a certain age, that the Barker/Carey one on CBS daytime now was also launched in 72, it would still be common sense that any syndicated version during that time period would have the same pricing games.
@@meyerj75 Rules were slightly different on Nighttime. No bonus for a perfect bid, and no winning both showcases if $100 or less. There maybe more, but they're the ones I know of.
@@MarkNF82 There's no solid proof there was no bonus for a perfect One Bid. At any rate, this episode was taped BEFORE the perfect One Bid even existed.
It's not JUST the furs. It also has to do with CBS not wanting TPIR reruns possibly airing in direct competition with the current version. That's the real reason why it was pulled from GSN all those years ago. Someone high-up at CBS (Les Moonves, if the stories are true) told Fremantle that they didn't want them peddling the reruns while the show was still showing on CBS. Apparently, GSN was sometimes screening TPIR reruns where they would be airing in the same timeslot as then-current CBS episodes, so when the Goodson-Todman rerun package came up for renewal, Fremantle removed TPIR from the bundle. These will probably never air in reruns until such time that CBS cancels the show.
That's still up for debate. I still believe IMO that the Dennis James hosted episodes should still be allowed to air or at least on CZcams in studio master quality tape given the fact that Bob Barker doesn't want reruns of any episodes with animal fur coats as prizes while he was the host, not James, of the PIR. FYI, James only hosted 195 episodes and he has proven to be a much better host than Barker, that was until Barker excelled following James' departure and made the show his own by the end of the 1970s until his retirement in 2007 despite controversy over his relationships with the models on the show (i.e. Dian Parkinson's ill-fated sexual harrassment lawsuit and Holly Hallstrom's 10 year battle in court against Barker and TPIR).
And even though it did come into effect for the daytime version sometime in May 1977, the nighttime version even when Bob took over the following season had no such rule, nor even the Double Showcase Winner rule.

Taped on December 19, 1976.
Larry reminds me of Ronald Isley: the lead signer of the legendary Isley Brothers.

@@snake9911 1998 was when the perfect bid bonus became $500; a few years later, the Double Showcase win went from being $100 below to $250 below.

@@snake9911 Sadly this rule only applied to the daytime version, the nighttime version due to its budget didn't allow that.
Does anybody have the "There goes Fritz!" episode?
At least he didn't have to say, "There goes Fritz!"
It happened in just only one episode I believe. After he found out later, he never did it again unwilling to break Janice's heart a second time.
One episode I really wish was found and uploaded or was the segment cut? Because I've only heard stories of this moment.
That and the very first playing in its entirety
Who misses the manual closing credits? Wish they were back soon
Yeah, it was a good look for the time but don't count on that in the digital era. Nobody does it manually anymore.
The only game show that did it side by side was Match Game.
Thank you for uploading this!
Is this the earliest full playing of Cliffhangers that exists on CZcams right now? Filmed in Dec. 1976.
I believe the first Cliffhangers playing was on the 5th season premiere of the nighttime version.
I had no idea cliff hangers was in the Dennis James and Tom Kennedy versions of the price is right!

@PREGO1966 well I was born in 88 when spelling bee 🐝 pretty much debuted not 72 hence my comment

The credits were all caps wow.
Larry did excellent on cliffhanger. 😀👍
March 1977
Nothing against Bob Barker, but I loved it when Dennis James hosted the price is right. RIP Dennis James, Bob Barker, and Johnny Olson.
Agreed
And Tom Kennedy
So, Larry got the price exactly right in Contestants Row and got one price right in Cliffhangers.
And he was only off by $197 in the showcase.
But never received $100 for a perfect bid. Was the show going way to fast to confirm one?

are there any eps of LMAD hosted by Dennis James? I remember he filled in for Monty Hall in the '70s
The one from the 1971-1972 season.
6:57. Fazio’s Supermarkets discontinued Monday, July 31, 1978.
Classic loves ad
They gave away lots of furs!
Made of real animals
Cliffhangers prizes weren't yet in ascending order. Interesting...
What was Dennis's favorite game?
24:39 - Why the Dennis James version will never be seen on TV. Barker doesn't like furs.
It's not JUST the furs. It also has to do with CBS not wanting TPIR reruns possibly airing in direct competition with the current version.

Episode #182N I believe
the serious faces of the people of newschannel 4 :D
I liked tom kennedy as the host the best
No $100 bonus in those days for bidding exactly right.
And even though it did come into effect for the daytime version sometime in May 1977, the nighttime version even when Bob took over the following season had no such rule, nor even the Double Showcase Winner rule.

Without hard proof, I find that hard to believe.

My guess is that the show ran so quickly to confirm one given Dennis James' rapid fire hosting abilities as nobody can do better.
@@graigmellon7874 Only one change in 1985-86: $500 for a perfect bid.
