The Price is Right - Epic Spinoff

They spun the wheel so much it started to fall apart! 🤣

[@jprogman]

Pretty soon the wheel would have new metal brackets mounted to anchor every peg securely. The dividing lines on the wheel would appear thicker than usual.

Thank you bob barker for making the sick days fun

[@graigmellon7874]

Oh my gosh... that alone is worthy of a gold star episode right there. And you're right, Y&R and other soap operas will not be seen today so that we can see the rest of these fun spinoffs.

[@AnthonyTorres1988]

Not only that ?, they are totally funny. Thanks to bob and his jokes.👍 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

[@kimarajamison6951]

This was awesome and hilarious! Thanks for sharing this! Bob and TPIR should've given them both $1000 just for this amazing spinoff.

[@digiblader1]

Love when the spinoffs get so long, Bob starts mentioning they won't be able to show Y&R today just so they can finish this episode of The Price Is Right! Way better than the heavily edited garbage we see with Drew Carey..

[@wschmrdr]

Some of us on the east coast never understood that joke because there was a newscast (and local farm show for the affiliate where I grew up) between TPiR and Y&R.

[@DorvellTStewart]

Well in fairness, today's hour long time slot only allows an average of 42/44 minutes without commercials, so it's not exactly something the show can control.

[@ThunderFist1978]

This is giving me Press Your Luck vibes, when Cathy and Lori had their epic spin-off!

Fun fact: PYL was still coming on before TPIR at the time, another fun fact: PYL also was dropped a year later

First time I've ever seen FOUR spinoffs; three several times but not four.

[@JeeFLaV_Qc]

i mean, both sppined exactly identicly every time, so obviously it will turn to the same numbers, it is not shuffeling on the wheel

[@Lupton2000]

October 4 1985 was an epic game show day. That same day on Jeopardy!, Chuck Forest retired as the biggest winner at that point.

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

Until ken Jennings 😢

[@joeorsini6110]

Ken's winnings: $2,520,700 (lasting *74* DAYS [I think the Tournament of Champions had to either be postponed or put on hold]); Jeopardy was hosted by the late Alex Trebek back then. Now, Ken Jennings hosts the show; the studio that Jeopardy is taped in is now called The Alex Trebek Stage.

[@zzeroxxero]

Everyone asking what the odds are, if Maureen is consistently exerting the same force that causes a perfect full 2 revolutions each time, the chances are very high. Have maureen keep spinning, and you will see she will hit 2 perfect revolutions more than not. This whole ordeal was made possible only because of Maureen. 😅

[@shrapnel77]

Maureen did not know what the hell was going on. Barker had to tell her she was going to the showcase and she still looked befuddled.

[@arizonashane]

Goodness, the reaction from the audience after that last tie -- might have been the loudest I've ever heard on TPIR.

[@SUPERMAN3309]

I've never seen this before thanks for uploading it

[@silvialogan9226]

[@sk.1069]

I remember this episode! I was watching The Price Is Right with my great-grandma! When we was watching this episode my mamaw could barly walk but I tell you that wonderful women was about to jump out of her chair! She loved this game show & she watched this show every morning until she passed away! Even though she passed away back in 1988, its hard for me to watch this show! Even after so many years I still miss her just as much as I did back then, if not more!

[@tonybino01]

I saw this live. My mom let me stay home from high school that Friday. It was my uncle's birthday too. It was 1985. The blonde lady won when he hit 15 cents beating the other lady who got 5 cents.

[@damsbaug33]

Thank you for recapping what I just watched.

[@gm12551]

High waisted Maureen 😊

[@coreyprkr2013cp]

Keeping my fingers crossed for this to be reinstated to TBE

[@angrybirdsfan2003]

And since they reinstated Bump, it should happen.

[@BOLLOCKS1968]

Wow 4x! I think they should bring Bob Barker on for his 100 th Birthday in December ... depending on his health. I would definitely watch it.

[@robbernath]

Unfortunately, he passed on 8/26/23 at age 99. 😮😢

[@joeorsini6110]

He was 99 years old when he died; TPIR did a special tribute show with no audience and a piano playing the theme as background music. The Showcase Showdown debuted in 1975 when the show went from 30 minutes to a full hour.

[@coreyprkr2013cp]

You broke my peg on my wheel 😂😂😂😂

[@jordanjaynes390]

I didn't know one of the pegs would fall off the wheel until I saw it.

Through the "Barker" Era, not only was four ties the record during the big wheel segment, but it was also the number of times all four contestants overbid as well.

[@ajk]

Did 4 ties ever happen again?

[@meyerj75]

@@ajk Not sure. I don't watch it as much during the Drew Carey era but if it did it would more likely be edited for broadcast since the timing of the show has been 38 minutes for the past 25 years (compared to at least 48 prior).

Bob knows what we're thinking.

[@SirStanleytheStumbler]

I have to wonder if that is also the record for lowest score to get to the showcase showdown at 15c.

[@SyncopateTheShot]

Bob told her to spin it hard at 3:40. The reason is she had spun it exactly the same 4 previous times, and he didn't want another tie.

[@JohnDexterCruz-op1ww]

Originally aired on CBS: 10/4/1985; repeated airing on #TPIRBarker (Two ladies spun the big wheel 4 times during the epic spin-off of #ShowcaseShowdown ☸️)

I am sure someone can calculate the odds for that. Got to be like one in a million chance for that many ties in a row.

A dollar in one spin or a combination of two spins wins a $1,000 out of the spinoff.

[@mavis959]

The blonde lady won on the 5th spin, hitting 15 cents, the brunette hit 5 cents. Still, they were only 2 frames apart.

[@AdrianHoliday]

Would have been a bit of a tough decision for contestant 2 if these had been the first two contestants both on 65 with contestant 3 yet to spin…. either stay at 65 and hope contestant 3 does not beat them both… OR do another spin to break the tie but hope you don’t go over $1 but also to beat whatever contestant 3 spins… head says you would spin again otherwise you’d forever wonder “what if” if indeed contestant 3 beat the first 2 contestants
