[@sethraelthebard5459]

Bob has such an charming character and good humor. He is one of those cases where the gray hair made him even more distinguished. He always had a great sense of class.

[@MorganNye]

Yeah unlike Drew Carey, he still sucks 13 years later.

[@joeysnyder7532]

Every time I was sick or summer vacation from Elementary School was spent with Bob on The Price Is Right. I love hearing Rod Roddy announcing.

[@k9feces]

Must see TV I loved for that show

[@jasperdilincoln2341]

I was 5 in '87, but as kid especially in the 80s, My Grandfather would be in his Recliner laid back watching the Price is right. Sadly I lost my Grandfather in 2006. But when I heard of Mr.Barker's Death it took me back to my Grandfather's Day of watching. But I'm Blessed enough to still have my Grandmother who will be turning 100 next Month. I told her, that she and Mr.Barker was Born in the same year of 1923. She said she never knew they were the same age. My he R.I.P

[@johnsmith2221]

The 80s just gives me a happy feeling, I can't explain it.

[@ColoradoOwl]

This is why you stayed home "sick" from school...

[@pollard068]

Always "felt better" by 11:00

[@mj6962]

Exactly! And called in sick for work! Lol

[@UnityRise]

This and reruns of the Golden Girls. I was “sick” a lot 😂

[@bahgawd8158]

One time I was out sick w strep throat in 87 when I was 10. N everyday my mom would give me my dose of amoxicliin that tasted like bubble gum at 11 am right when the show started. Great memory

[@TheLanard]

I must’ve been home sick this day. At 16 I should’ve been in school this day. But I remember watching it with my grandmother and she was so happy he let it show.

[@mikedski9698]

Dear Bob, Thank you for helping to take care of me when I was sick at home from school a lot. I love you, -Will

[@brianfolsom9799]

I love his gray hair!!!! He looks very handsome that way

[@TheLanard]

Omg!! I remember this when I was 16. I was watching this with my grandmother. When he came out she said, “Wow, I’m SO happy he let his gray show.” I didn’t think it was a big deal, since my grandmother always let her gray hair show. I didn’t even know his hair was dyed that whole time. Watching it now I fully understand, partly because I’m now going gray.

[@RickPatterson-pn5yy]

Bob Barker was 64 there, live 35 more yrs!🎉

[@LivewireT]

This show came on at 11am when I would stay home sick from school--I grew up on east coast.

[@justinsublett5880]

This is like an IV dose of childhood. OMFG. Lol. I love everything about this. Also, Barker was a handsome man.

[@tastyjay]

That's really fun. He handled it really well and everyone was down for it. Good timing. Thanks for sharing!

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

I remember this episode lol. I was on break at my year round school and my mom saw it and said, "he looks very handsome for a white man". That was high praise from my mom.

[@EQOAnostalgia]

That's racism actually lol.

[@charlesjwin]

Bob is half-Sioux.

[@rivera5b]

The next shocking event in game show history will be on 9/18/2001 when the late Alex Trebek shaved his iconic mustache.

[@5argetech56]

Rod Roddy! The perfect replacement to Johnny Olson!

[@jch13213]

I just love that the price is right kept its 70s vibe thru bob's run. At some point in the 80s, there had to be a producer meeting to decide... " Hey we've let this 70s theme go on a bit long.. do we update or just run with it as our thing? " I love their choice to just keep it as a feature

[@joshuakline1435]

Bob Barker was such a class act everything looked good on him.

[@danielmaddox7792]

Hear the great Rod Roddy. Ohhh, Yes. You just knew something AMAZING was about to happen. Loved this episode

[@donaldcrabbe7404]

I thought, too, Rod's intro had a little more oomph to it.

[@tiffanymorgan6562]

Yes, Rod Roddy was the GREATEST

[@rhyancoleman6462]

I remember him as the voice of Mike the Microphone on Disney's House of Mouse.

[@adrianlyord5300]

I’m crying 😢 right now. Rest in peace Bob Barker thanks for the memories.

[@jm5180]

i remember this day vividly... the shock when he walked out ... as a kid i thought he looked so old, now he looks so young and vibrant. RIP Bob

[@strix.1]

Boy, that Mazda 323 was fancy!!😂 Mary was quite the player, no strikes and giddy as heck!☺💲

[@ilovebrandnewcarpets]

It’s like a 45 minute show and Bob did 10 minutes on his hair 😂 legend

[@saraschneider6781]

Um 3 and a half minutes.

[@TheMightyOdin]

20:30. Desk top phone had me laughing when it rolled out.

[@benkizer9509]

I remember watching this episode live. My Mom came into the room as the show started and saw Bob Barker and was like "oh my gosh! What happened to Bob?" haha.

[@coolbluelights]

That speed queen washer dryer combo just might still be around today. They were and are absolute tanks!

[@alo.5141]

Wow.... I actually remember this episode! This used to come on before I got on the bus in Kindergarten. I kept wondering what happened to his hair😂😂

[@quizmaster85]

And back in the days of when standing ovations really meant something.

[@Pyrolonn]

Was the standing ovation for the hair?

[@iangoodisDMX]

Lmao back when eating a hamburger meant something

[@joeboyce6650]

I just realized Bob Barker had the same cadence and speech delivery of Jack Benny.

[@rhyancoleman6462]

Which is ironic because Studio 33 is the same studio where Jack Benny did his show.

[@coolbluelights]

I had to go look up video clips of Jack Benny. you're right! I guess it was just the way they did it in the 50s and Bob carried it over through the 00s

[@dena81]

Highlight of being home sick was watching this, eating some top ramen soup, and sleeping

[@brandihilton8485]

I think we all love Bob either with dark hair or gray! It doesnt matter!!! I tried to get the episode when he came out on the turn table to come on & Betty White was a guest star!! I honestly dont remember it.

[@eric21200]

September 14, 1988 is the episode where Bob comes around on the turntable.

[@armyofpets5547]

I like dark in all, but I'm used to his white hair.

[@marybirdsell8450]

I was born in 83, but watching these older episodes when they figure the price out on a sexy mazda and it's a 4 digit number...yeah...

[@LIE11Bldg7]

I happen to be home that day not much to do but the TV AND THIS EPISODE OF THE PRICE IS RIGHT WILL FOREVER TO ME BEING MONUMENTAL MOMENT IN TIME

[@kornmaze]

What a fabulous playing of 3 Strikes!

How bad is TV today to watch these reruns from 35 years ago LOL I love them of course :D

[@kimberlysevastyanenko3798]

I watch almost no current TV. I watch all the 80s and 90s reruns from my childhood.

I'm over here cheering for Mary winning that car nearly 40 years ago haha, I know she's long since passed but I hope she had a great rest of her life after this episode!

[@prestoncram7507]

I was 4 when this aired, super nostalgia right here. Watching Price Is Right with my mom and sister as a kid is one of my favorite childhood memories

[@rwboa22]

As a kid, I thought that Bob Barker switched places with Johnny Carson, not realizing that Bob Barker actually went gray (or was already gray, but was tinting/dying his hair).

[@eyehatefarcebook11]

$1100 for a showcase? Lady, this isn't the 1950's!

LOL I love it. This was the day I turned 4.

[@justbenelson]

I had just turned 5 a month earlier and I actually remember this episode. I was ignorant of hair dyes, and I didn't understand how his hair became white overnight.

[@tyrese3745]

10:22 YES!!! Mary done hit a grand slam playing 3 Strikes! And winning an '87 Mazda 323 hatchback to boot! And so did Consuelo Grepo on Benicia, CA, who watched TPIR on independent station KOFY-TV 20 San Francisco (since then Group W owned-and-operated KPIX-TV Channel 5 pre-empted much of CBS' daytime schedule up till 1994).

[@FalconTalk]

Consuelos been dead for 12 years

[@erikbunty2016]

From the GLC to the 323, to the Protégé, to the awesome Mazda3.

[@charlesjwin]

it was a crying shame how CBS affiliate KPIX deprived much of Northern California of T.P.I.R. by replacing this show with tabloid crap like "People are Talking", for a long time period.

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

Too many mornings at 11 am i was home from school watching this

[@squeallymaniac]

3 trips and a car for a showcase? Omg, they wouldn't do that nowadays

[@madpixel44]

I was luckily a contestant around Aug 1993 or 94. Cant remember. I was about 22 years old. Name got called then I bid closest and won a large globe that lights up when touched ($1400). I got the pick a pair game but lost a dinning room set. At the wheel I went first and got 2 35s = 70. The second contestant went over but then the last girl got a dollar. That ended my Price is Right glory! And yes, I had to pay tax on the globe which I still have after 30 years and show off to anyone who sees it.

[@notDonaldFagen]

Fun story! The globe must be actually nice too, for that price in the early 90s.

[@notDonaldFagen]

You should search around on KZbin, you might find your episode.

[@oaktree1628]

What was Bob Barker like? Do you remember your conversation with him?

[@tangobravo8332]

We went to 99 without going over

[@JILLYBEAN3020]

I loved the old cast and crew! The models were all natural beauties nothing fake from teeth down to their nails! The today's set is too florescent in colors, and everything moves way too fast...like the show on steroids. RIP Bob, no one can replace you or those real beauties

Minimum wage $3.50/hr. Think about that.

[@taron0]

Average income was $30K vs $60K today.. But there's no way you are gonna find a brand new car for $14K in 2023. Adjusted for inflation, $7K would be $18.6K in 2023. The cheapest Mazda available in the USA today starts at $24K, about 30% higher than expected inflation rate, which is honestly not horrible considering how much more advanced a modern car is.

[@WilliamSmith-ex9et]

$3.35 per hour
