The Price is Right - 7/19/73

These people have the best clothing style in history! What a great show and fun times! Every kid loved when they could stay home from school and watch the famous show, The Price is Right. No other show was as fun as this when it came to playing at home. It was so much fun guessing the prices.

I was only 3 years old when this particular show aired. I don't remember the show at all up until about 6 years old (1976). I was born July 1970. The show was the best in the mid 1980's to early 90's. I really miss Bob Barker doing the show. Drew sucks. Why would they ever replace Bob with Drew, of all people? At least the stage looks similar to the old days.
