For me it was 12:30 before heading out on the bike. The Flintstones came on after TPIR. And I didn't head out as much as I was kicked out by mom. 😀

[@cavanpatrick6343]

Me too! But late 1980’s early 90’s. We would bike to the pool on the other side of town, there was a pool a stones throw from our neighborhood but it was small and the other pool had a waterslide and all the good looking girls went there. But the best was being home sick from school getting to watch this only to get annoyed when I heard the opening “Nadia’s Theme” from Young & The Restless

[@heidimountain606]

At the start of Season 15 (1986-87), Hole in One became Hole in One or Two after changing the putt rule during the prime time shows in August and September 1986. Sometime in Season 16 (1987-88), the current Hole in One set debuted.

@@rongreen2976 True, I agree, but Drew has his moments as well Lol

[@PGTransformed]

Agreed! After Janice, Kathleen and others were canned from the show and by 2001, TPIR went downhill and became all about Bob until Drew took over the hosting duties in late 2007.

[@williampapadopoulos8145]

Naw…covid ruined everything!!! Artificial canned audience noise, people walking on stage from backstage with simulated enthusiasm which never replace the true excitement of “coming on down” out of a real live audience. I think that there are only actually 10 people in the Bob Barker studio at a time anymore and they must be pre-informed as to who has been selected because they are able to make it onstage from the back so quickly. In addition to that, Drew having to social distance from 10 feet away, masks masks masks, Drew afraid to touch the big wheel after a contestant wins $1,000 in order to reset it at “5” for the re-spin. He has the contestant do it. The list just goes on and on. The same for Let’s make a deal.

The buzzard surprise appearance on TPIR even made an appearance on TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes the very next season because of it. Even Bob Barker didn't escape a TV Blooper and Practical Joke on him.

[@Boskov01]

I don’t think this counts as a practical joke though. Practical jokes are meant to make the target look foolish. This didn’t do that. It was fun and good natured to celebrate the end of Bob’s bad putting streak on that pricing game.

I last saw this show in Nov Dec 11998 after being in Europe for 8 years. I remembered it from the 80’s and my mother loved it. That’s the last time I saw her as I left for Asia and still here. I liked Bob Barker and the models in the 80’s and had no idea what happened to the show since 1998. It’s a pity what I read happened. I think the 80’s were a golden era for this kind of game show though I didn’t watch TV to any extent then. The zeitgeist of the 80’s was about hope for a better life as illustrated by this show and the cast became familiar friends to the audience. Too bad it started to fall apart in the 90’sand after. We only appreciate what we had in hindsight and cannot go back.

[@jnadle1]

Later, Kenneth won his Salute to the 1950s showcase along with a roadster in his over $26,000 showcase, and won almost $31,000 in cash and prizes ($850 in Blank Check and a $100 perfect bid bonus).

[@benkizer9509]

It makes me kind of sad when I see the excellent chemistry everyone had on this show and what happened to it. From about 1976 to around 1990, you could tell the cast and crew really enjoyed working together. Not sure if it was Bob's promotion to Executive Producer or Johnny Olson's death or Bob/Dian's affair or just growing egos, but they lost that magic after about 1990 and it never returned. While I still enjoy the show, it was never the same.

@@MorganNye I think the tone definitely changed, and CERTAINLY did from about the time Holly was fired in 95 onward (especially so after Janice and Kathleen were let go 5 years later too), and I say that as someone who grew up loving the show in Bob's final years as a high school and early college student. Now able to view it through a different lens, it was a VERY different show in respects by the end of his run from where it was here and really all the way at least on screen to when Dian left I'd say.
