[@timothymckann9415]

Bob Barker RIP. You will always be the host of Truth or Consequences in our eyes and hearts.

[@dougghiz8339]

Bob Barker was & is always remembered for Truth or Consequences as well as The Price Is Right.

[@lauragriffin6512]

I still remember how much my mother laughed watching this show.

[@mitch4527]

I used to watch this show as a very little boy in the late 1960’s. My parents loved this show. Bob Barker is still with us at age 99.

[@Williamsdoc]

RIP to the great Bob Barker 🙏🙏🙏

[@garyfrancis6193]

I’ve heard about this show but never saw it until today Sep 4 2021. Bob Barker was one of the best game show hosts.

[@proven6270]

Me too.... I was born in 1969 !!! I kinda grew up with BB & the PIR on TV in the living room TV all day....tbh, I still watch it nearly everyday on Free-Vee station while handling my #2 business from in/on my bathroom TV 🤔👍😁😉😂🤣

[@dieseldaddy4205]

I'm 65...I was 7 when this was on TV. Used to sit with our parents as a family and watch this every night...it was my parents favorite show,,next to ,,,Its Acedemic with Ted Mack,,I believe that was his name..mightve been Bill Cullen...not real sure....Miss the early 60s...great times.

My Stomach Hurts these Shows are So Funny 😂 Bob Barker is a Genius 🏆💖

[@irish89055]

Obviously more polished in later years

[@farpointgamingdirect]

They need to release these on DVD along with all of the other classic game shows

[@jesselockhart1230]

This was actually funny. I wish this show could work again!

[@gordonhearn2193]

+Jesse Lockhart It wouldn't work today because if contestant #2 got a smaller prize than contestant #1 or turned their ankle, they'd be lawyered up before the show airs and would sue for zillions. That's why this show couldn't work today.

First game show I watched as a child. Loved it and was hooked! ❤️

[@dustym.111]

I was born in 89' - Sep... Of course, this show with the host Bob Barker is way beyond my time, but stuff like this really interests me just by how the time was back then, the people both men, & woman, on how they dressed, talked & the humor that came along with the show/ past time...

[@williambone5678]

And this why Bob Barker is THE best game show host, EVER!

[@nja3224]

Nothing beat staying home from school on a sick or snow day eating chicken soup and watching these daytime shows.

[@martiwf0]

The funniest episode was in the latter years of the show and I wish I could remember when. It was an Alibaba scene with a magic carpet on a raised bench with a satin pillow to sit on. The the three men contestants didn't know, there was an electric prod inside the pillow that obviously put out a powerful shock when switched on. One by one Bob would have each man come out dressed to look like Alibaba. Their pants were also satin and very thin. Bob's beautiful assistant would sit next to each on a safe pillow. They would read a love line that said, "....come with me and we will fly this magic carpet up, up, and away! At that point someone would switch on the pillow and up the contestant would come, yelling as loud as he could, I wish someone could find that and post it on KZbin. It is priceless! I still can't stop laughing just thinking about it.

[@tavaramirez668]

Oh my gosh. Iloved this show. I was 9 at the time.

[@Bracgypsy]

Priceless blast from the past! Anyone else notice how much baby #3 resembles like Bert Lahr? (Lahr play the Cowardly Lion in the old Wizard of Oz movie with Judy Garland.) Bob Barker was the best host ever. R.I.P., Bob.

[@richmotroni]

I always wanted to be on Truth or Consequences and get a pie in the face!

[@GenLeeConcepts]

Gosh it was a cute show. I was on it with my mom back around 1964. Bob's guys had chosen 3 children from the audience-with their moms-and brought them to the stage. The children were taken backstage and each mom was asked: will your child talk or not talk when they brought in the Winchell Mahoney doll and set it on the couch and left it alone with each child. I would later hear that the audience went nuts as my poor mom (knowing her child as good as any could) told him I would cry/ball my eyes out. The audience was in hysterics as he explained their were only two choices? But she insisted? He wouldn't yield. So I am set down on that couch, the doll is brought in and set down and the fellow leaves the room. Within 10 seconds, I was terrified and screaming my heart out. The audience laughed through the whole adventure. As we drove home-up Franklin to the 101 freeway on ramp, I remember her grumbling how I had cost her $50 bucks and a trip to Mammoth (she was a ski-nut back then). Ironically, the vacuum cleaner that was her consolation prize actually turned out to be worth more 10 years later!

[@kathleenl4387]

Amazing story❣️❣️ I’m glad she got a nice vacuum out of it❣️. It’s so fun to watch these shows again. 😊🕊🌈❤️

[@jackdaghlian7662]

i was on in 1961, were you able to get a tape of the show you were in?

[@Dogecoinmuskelon]

RIP my friend Bob Baker.

[@BlondeTabu69]

Now this is a game that I can seriously get into ! MORE PLEASE !

[@misternewoutlook5437]

First time I saw it had to be 1969. I recall it was on early in the evening maybe 7pm. Very popular in those days.

[@JMarieCAlove]

Oh wow! I was a little kid when saw Bob Barker hosting TorC, my parents loved this show, I recognized the building where the ladies were running around, the CBS studios where the Price is Right is shown, it's next to the L.A. Farmer's Market. I don't remember all of this show but there were parts I would sit with my family (when everyone had just one t.v.), and laughing at the funny things the contestants had to do. Years later, I was happy to see Bob Barker on TPIR! (My sister in law was a contestant on that shown, she won a vacuum cleaner!lol)..This video cracked me up, too funny! No one like Bob Barker. 😊💖

[@johnnyballenatl]

Nope; that was KTTV/Metromedia Square on Sunset Blvd. as mentioned before (been torn down years ago and it’s now a high school).

[@williambone5678]

Somebody please bring this game show back on TV!

You're right. No other game show host had his quickness and wit. And it lasted for decades.

My favorite show as a kid in the 70s

[@SuperDrewFranklinFranchise]

R.I.P. Bob Barker.

[@timothyhenry5454]

This show was so fricking awesome

[@swami1]

A 1974 episode involved 4 contestants bringing in people with odd names, culled from the phone book. Some of the names were: Rusty Pipes, Safety First, Rose Hose and Mary Christmas. If you have that episode please post it!

[@agnesvasko8987]

Would love to see the one that my husband was on when he was in the Navy. About 1968-1969 time frame

[@EatonBeevir]

God says: "Bob Barker come on up!" RIP

[@roysorgo]

It used to air at 7:00pm after Walter Cronkite - if I'm not mistaken. I was 6 or 7 and still remember it well. Loved Barker s Box... I'll never forget 2 guys who were racing to a location somewhere by water. The first one there got a major prize. One way to get there was by a cruise ship and the other by a tiny row boat. They cruise ship would travel a much greater distance, while the small boat had a much shorter distance. They had to play a game or something to determine who got to choose their vessel. The guy who won the choice inexplicably took the small craft instead of a free cruise. He thought he could beat the ship. I don't think he did.

[@JJJBRICE]

Those little babies at the beginning are in their sixties now !

[@siggyretburns7523]

How funny. Those babies were born about the same time I was. In fact, the lazy one looks like me.

[@charlesmeadows6285]

Let’s keep in mind that Price is Right also aired on NBC at that time.

[@friedaalexander8198]

I was on this show playing Barkers Box in Summer of 1966( sometime July- Sept) . Any idea how I could find it? I was 19yrs old. 😬

[@hairincurlers]

loved this show as a kid fav epoisod was when they put a guy in aduince in drag and wife had to find him he was stuck there for whole show

[@michellineoake488]

Need to bring this game show back

[@morrisrooney]

Love the black & white clip ( from an NBC daytime show ); too bad the audio wasn't good at the beginning. Don Isham's music under Charlie Lyon's announcing was catchy! Maybe Ralph Edwards Productions can strike a deal with Buzzr TV over a "Truth or Consequences" rerun package. It would be great to see the young Bob Barker in action!

[@andrewschroy6368]

I guess it wouldn't hurt, since Fremantle does own the TorC franchise...

[@unknown-kh7dg]

Agreed! BUZZR should add to their line up as well the Tom Kennedy hosted "Name That Tune" and the Jack Clark hosted "The Cross-Wits".

I saw a live taping of this as a kid in the 70s

[@martinfelsenfeld6012]

Mister Barker showed why zero is a forever funny number! That would be L0L!

[@byrd56]

The consequence at the 11:30 mark featuring Jim Ryun sort of recycled one from the short-lived mid-1950's NBC primetime version with Jack Bailey, which involved Olympic decathlete Bob Mathias.

[@michellepost5232]

I watched this as a child. God, I remember this segment. It was on TV M-F, at 6:30 pm, central time. Those babies would be close to 50, if not that. I'm close to 60. I loved that show. It seems funny now but I recall people on the show hollering and hooting if they won a Brother typewriter. Singer sewing machines were also popular prizes.Alot of the prizes came from Spiegel catalog.I also used to watch Candid Camera hosted by Alan Funt, in the 1960's.

[@garyfrancis6193]

I think those kids are probably about 60 if they share still around. Bob Barker is Sept 2021.

I remember an episode from the fall of 1958. A woman appeared who was reunited with her father. They had not seen each other in decades. How can I find that episode.

[@JoEbY-X]

I appeared on this show in 1972 as a crawling baby. I contacted the company that owns the show years ago and they confirmed what episode I was in, but said it was on 2" video tape stored in an unindexed box somewhere and would take an inordinate amount of time to find it and it would possibly be too degraded to transfer to other media anyway. So I'm curious... where did you get these clips?

My grandma was on this show somewhere between 1966 and 1972 or something like that. There was a band on the episode called Fear and she was up in a “birdcage”. Does anyone know how to find this so I can watch her?

[@tvtimetravel]

@13:41, you can see that this was taped at Metromedia Studios (KTTV 11).

[@fromthesidelines]

Metromedia also syndicated the 1966-'74 edition [the "flagship" station was New York's WNEW-TV, which aired it weeknights at 7:30pm].

[@markschildberg1667]

+Randy Hansen Did the show move to Metromedia during its NBC run? I know it was done in several places, including the old NBC Radio City Hollywood studios, the El Capitan theater, and the NBC Burbank studios.

[@tvtimetravel]

I'll have to look that up.

Randy Hansen Only the syndicated version was produced at Metromedia/KTTV.

Randy Hansen And the 1977-78 reboot with Bob Hilton as host, and John Harlan as announcer.

[@davidmunns135]

One thing that strikes me about TV Prank shows like T-O-C is how they tended to repeat gags that they did some weeks or years earlier for example The gag with JIM RYAN ED BALEY DID AN ALMOST IDETICAL GAG WITH BOB METHYOUS SOME YEARS ERLIER

RIP Bob Barker

[@zachhoran]

Stu reported on his show that Gary Edwards(Ralph's son) was at one point close to striking a deal with GSN to air a package of the Barker syndicated TofC, but it was said that someone bowed out. Does Barker not want this aired too? My guess this is around the time GSN picked up the syndicated/NBC primetime Marshall Squares package.

[@tomboggs3243]

Bob has expressed interest of wanting the show back on-I believe it was during Stu's interview that he expressed that interest.

[@tomboggs3243]

A bunch of the NBC Barker versions(1957-1965) are gathering dust at the Library of Congress-most still in reel to reel form. The syndicated versions (1966-1975) are in possession of Ralph Edwards Productions and whomever has the distribution rights-wish Buzzr or GSN could come to terms with the distributors or contact the LOC for the NBC versions!!
