The Price is Right | (9/3/80)

[@RightCenterBack321]

I love watching these old episodes of ongoing game shows. It gives a sense of continuity.

[@Boondocksbear]

I remember as a kid sitting and watching the Price is Right everyday with my Great-Grandfather.

[@AndrewWarrenPatriotsfan]

My mother and I used to watch it back in 90's when I had no school. Now I watch it during my first break on my job.

[@fjccommish]

I watched it with my great great great great great grand son.

Bob was an expert at working the audience and the contestants.

Yes!

He worked Janice pretty good too ;) He's my hero.

That old phone was really cool!! I liked the horse guy!!

RIP BOB BARKER that hosted this game show on television.

[@jeopardy60611]

I remember watching The Price Is Right with my grandfather back in January, 1977 when I was staying with him in Arizona (I'm from Chicago, IL). I recall catching the games Cliffhangers and Hurdles.I believe that Hurdles was retired because of the hurdles not coming up properly as what happened in this episode.

[@tyrese3745]

What city in Arizona? Phoenix? Tucson? Maricopa?

[@jeopardy60611]

Christopher Howell my grandparents lived in Phoenix, and later moved to Scottsdale and then Tempe where my aunt still lives today.

[@tyrese3745]

KOOL-TV Channel 10, the then-CBS affiliate (now Fox O&O station KSAZ-TV) carried TPIR, I presume.

[@georgef551]

Hurdles was retired for not working right. If they removed the motors and made it all hand-operated (like they did to Squeeze Play, Cliff Hangers, Range Game, Etc.), it could've made it another 10 years at the least.

[@sha11235]

@@georgef551 Yeah, I can see the problem with the third one. Would've been funny if it had been a loss. But they could bring this back. I consider the runner a relative of the mountain climber from Cliff Hangers.

[@VahanNisanian]

Hurdles was cool. It never should have retired.

[@voidremoved]

@aDg 2k18 I thought the girls go behind and move it

[@Rlotpir1972]

Mechanical issues and use of the cap gun caused the retirement.

[@billkramer1853]

Staying home from school sick watching this was the thing to do

why not do a special of all retired games?

[@jamesbonnen]

ladyluck3139 Sounds great.Even the double bullseye game for a car. Play it in both halves

[@arrankharchkrall2916]

27:00 Hurdles? That is a game I do not remember at all. I imagine they got rid of it at some point, up to 1986 when I first saw the show, due to the gun?

Unlike Drew, Bob didn't even show her the price for that Pontiac Sunbird.

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

TPIR is an 11 am tradition

[@akampfer]

This is a game that could be played with an electronic board. They brought back Time is Money, so they will bring back a retired game.

[@Radman1889]

Time is Money was a retired game? I don't remember seeing it in classic shows...

[@NickCMedia2]

***** The original Time is Money was around in 2003-04.

[@wschmrdr]

They retired Poker Game because of the necessity for three-digit prices, though. Unless they allow for four digit prizes and play like you would a dollar bill, you could do it.

[@NickCMedia2]

***** Never. The prize plugs would have taken longer, and the game would have been more confusing. It was either add to the confusion or get rid of the game all together.

[@NickCMedia2]

***** The original Bullseye from '72 sucked more than any other game in TPIR history. No other game will ever top its treachery.
