This wasn’t the first episode, you know. (There’s a reason why Bob in his opening remarks said the new while referencing the old.) The game show first aired on NBC primetime Monday November 26, 1956 and hosted by Bill Cullen. Then it moved to ABC in 1963, it’s final season was in 1965. Then CBS picked it up in 1972 with Bob Barker hosting, then of course Drew Carey took over.

It's funny how we hate viewing commercials in the present but love them once enough time has passed.

[@CeramicDalmatian]

I think there are two things: Time + Nostalgia. My sister (born early 90s) is WAY more nostalgic for commercials from the 2000s than I am (where my nostalgia ends in the mid-late 90s). BUT as time passes and those ads become more and more of a time capsule, they become more interesting anyway. also If you watched enough TV, everyone was eventually guaranteed to see the same commercial multiple times. Once TV changed w streaming in the 2010s we kinda lost that, but before, commercials themselves are a kind of shared experience, just like "watching The Price is Right when home sick from school" was for most millennials and gen X.

[@kelsoboy1431]

I’m interested in how it looks. Crystal clear. But when moving you can see horizontal lines. Anyone know the technicalities of this video?

[@CeramicDalmatian]

@@kelsoboy1431 Hi, uploader here. So, there's two ways to transmit video: Progressive scan "redraws" the picture every "frame" (there are either just under 30 or 60 frames of video in a traditional TV signal), while "Interlaced" re-draws every other line every second. The advantage to interlaced is that you only need half as much bandwidth/signal to send the same video. Up until the late 2000s, all traditional TV video was either 480i (analog cable, over the air antenna signal, etc) or 480p (digital cable, satellite, DVD). ANYWAY: Although I've remastered the HELL out of this copy (which came from the master about 15 years ago), the copy I received was interlaced, and short of using something like AI (which could easily be wrong), I can't redraw the missing bits - which shows up as those lines. (If you watched regular TV on an old school CRT (the big old heavy TVs before HD), the reason you never noticed the lines at home is because of a trick involving the way those types of displays work. It's why old video games look different on modern consoles than they did when you hooked your Sega Genesis to the TV itself)

[@BabydollKimala]

Omg I freaking love this!!!! I was born in the 70's and grew up watching this. My parents watched it every weekend and we kids laid out of school to watch it. I love the time capsule its great seeing the fashion the audience and the old commercials. Love you Bob Barker rest in peace my friend.💜💜 you will always be remembered.

[@curtislackey8846]

Watching this super clear picture and hearing Johnny Olson announcing takes me back. It was like I was 8 years old again, home sick from school with my grandmother.

[@gerry-p9x]

I had chicken noodle soup and toast. When I watched

[@kickingfatality]

I out this video on my TV set and turned up the volume while i was working in the kitchen and just doing chores. I honestly stopped and cried for a bit. For a moment , hearing This show in the background i was taken n back to my childhood days in the 70's hearing this show in my parents home in the background as mom worked and we played. The tears were happiness and hurt. Happiness for a beautiful memory and hurt because i desire so badly to go back.

[@burpethead]

What made this show such a hit is how it individually highlighted and characterized it's average-jo blue collar contestants. And great games, great host.

[@nrusso967]

Bob Barker was, and always will be, the BEST MC in my book!!!

[@christschool]

Here is something I can guaranty you. All the appliances in the show are still working today. I've got a fridge I keep my beer in. Made in 1977 and still works today as good as new.

[@epicarts2105]

Yeah but none of the appliances from the 70s have a "eco" mode.

[@israelsalas5955]

Love this show! I remember watching it late 90s early 2000s. This episode aired 11 years before I was born! What a time piece to watch! The hairstyles, the clothes, the comments, the prizes! whoa!

[@rexx9496]

I really loved the music of this show. The main jingle is actually quite ingenious in its chord changes.

[@ellis_1046]

This is amazing... hearing his voice and seeing how he looked. Then seeing all the items on the showroom floor really puts a time stamp! That color TV needs a moving company to get it home.

[@dianapardo6872]

Show was never the same when Bob left....I will forever love Bob...R.I.P.

[@samuelgates5935]

Today is September 4, 2023, RIP Bob Barker. I was 11 years old when this aired. I have great memories with my mom watching these, while my dad worked. Years later with a bid like, both showcases would've been won.

[@bsteven885]

Yes, that was quite interesting -- and the person who had earlier guessed the exact price would have won an extra $100 for it. I wonder when they changed the rules!

[@jfitzgerald6039]

The man was smooth. Just listen to how he explains the games. So easy to understand. Gotta say when it comes to game show host BOB is truly the GOAT. Those commercials had me in this weird time capsule.

[@Samlol23_drrich]

I agree. Smooth, quick witted, even with three cameras and lights all on him.

[@bellantonioabraham6920]

Bob Barker, a legend of daytime TV 📺 WGMC!!

[@dzim8822]

The very first contestant won a new car! I grew up in the eighties and I used to watch the Price is Right with Bob Barker all the time. Good times.

[@mizzaquarius5505]

OMG I love Connie! ❤❤❤😃😃😃😃 Perfect contestant to kick off this long lasting TV game show! RIP Bob Barker.

[@dilligaffubar2717]

Nobody could do it better than Bob. The way he explained the game. Reminded her where to stand. Great show. Started 5 years before I was born and lemme tell you, I watched that show everyday I was off from school.

[@trevortuominen8233]

Bob already had 15 years of practice from Truth or Consequences. He'd gotten it down to a science by the time he started hosting Price.

[@sundance81677]

Bob Barker could never and will never be replaced!

[@michaelwayne1977]

First episode and Bob was already smooth as silk. Thanks for leaving the commercials in.

[@PyrosPelagics]

valuable footage, these commercials in hd are mind blowing. your brain knows it 50years old, but your eyes think it could have been produced yesterday.

[@lisaknell1809]

I was six years old when this aired. I probably saw it live because Dad loved this show, and I used to watch it with him. Wonderful memories. ❤

[@thomash4447]

I was 1 1/2.........:)

[@lleon-cv4ex]

This was my favorite game show as a kid. Not quite as old as this episode, but the ones in the 80s for sure. Really nice share. RIP Mr. Barker.

[@rsears78]

The best gift that show could give was to meet Mr Barker. To be on the same stage as him would be an honor

[@mikefly562]

This is great and thanks for leaving the commercials in. i have not heard the Reece's Peanut Butter Cup jingle in decades!

[@martinflores9322]

Wasn’t there another Reeses’s commercial that had a skateboarding kid with a chocolate bar who crashed into a spectacled “professor” too?

[@delia5944]

A lot of great memories watching "The price is right" with my family. Rest In Peace Bob Barker, you are greatly missed

[@laurietijerina3816]

I was a little girl watching the Price is right, it would never get old and the whole family just love watching it. Mr Barker was like a part of the family sorta, to me. Mr Bob Barker, may you rest in peace 💐

[@DjLOU82]

my mom started to watch the price is right when i was about a year old in jan 73 and still watches it to this day. she was sad when Bob Barker passed away.

[@kepler240]

Bob was such fun to watch. Always happy and his dry humor and sarcastic remarks were hilarious.

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

Notice how they had real furr coats. We need to go back to the good times. The car paint wasnt water based qnd the clearcoat was thick. On a metal doorpanel

[@123MJP123]

Wow. This show was destined to be a classic from the day it was born!!! Loved this show!

[@Chris-ey6rn]

I actually started tearing up soon as I heard the opening theme song . I’ve better seen the very first episode until now 😢❤️ RIP Bob . Thank you for helping my sick days feel a little better

[@Brookeloun]

I teared up as well!

[@littlericky46]

A total '70s nostalgia trip! Thanks!

[@jeremiahroberts2252]

Everything about the show, and commercials was so nostalgic. Fantastic!

[@rjechols2059]

Connie was a total sweetheart and paul was an absolute boss. This brought tears to my eyes.

[@missingnola3823]

I watched this show on so many summer mornings in the 80's; dropped at grandma's house (who slept till noon) so my mother could go to work. This show was a staple of my weekday summer mornings for years until I was old enough to stay home on my own. And I still watched it most mornings even then.

[@4mySweetheart369]

Typewriters, fur coats, roller skates, peel and stick tiles...this was a cool nostalgic trip in time. Thank you!

[@DarkandTwisted]

WOW, I was around one year old when this aired. I remember as a little boy, I thought Bob Barker was so cool; he was like a Super Hero! My mom would watch this all of the time.🥰

[@GeoDelGonzo]

Thank you so much for bringing back this treasure from the past to us. This kind of television needs to be preserved; commercials included! This is absolutely golden; just like Bob Barker's tan and smile.

[@bgardner312]

I feel like I am 3 years old again watching this! 🤣😂🤣I love this! Thank you for your upload!

[@jeffymooch]

Bob barker and Peter Tomarken inspired me as a child to speak in front of people. I always wanted to be a game show announcer and/or host when I grew up in the 80s. I'm finally living that dream as a youth sports announcer in my hometown. Don't make much on it, but boy is it rewarding.

[@indyvelo4130]

Right on!

[@acgillespie]

What a blast from the past. I was 12 years old and I do remember watching this. I was home from School. My Mother n Grandma was making such a huge big deal about it and I remember watching with them. Connie made my day and I even won all the prizes myself. Didn't make one wrong guess. I was Hoping she would win grand finale too

[@kirk1968]

I am so happy that this has shown up in our KZbin feeds! It’s been great to read everyone’s memories. I was a wee lad of 4 years old when this aired, but the show was a huge part of my life for decades. I still watch it on the free Roku channel. Blessings to all of you ❤

[@LockHavenBaldEagleJP]

Dorothy Jo, Bob, Rod Roddy and Johnny Olson are certainly up there getting another great episode of The Price is Right ready for the afterlife.

Don't forget about Bill Todman and Mark Goodson! I hope they invited Dennis James, Tom Kennedy and Bill Cullen.

I was 4 days old when this aired. This show is indelibly linked to my childhood, much like Sesame Street.

[@icecreamassassin3006]

Yep I was born a bit later (79) but it's hard coded to my childhood as well; used to watch it every morning in the summertime and any sick day with my grandpa. That and every Saturday night late night watching Laurel and Hardy re-runs :D was a great time as a kid to get to stay up until 11:30pm and we both would laugh our asses off. Good memories. Was a big time Sesame Street kid too, major Super Grover fan hehe.
