Season 1 (1972-1973)[]

Daytime[]

Pricing game calendar for Season 1, hosted by Scorpz.


Week 0: Unaired pilot (No known production number)

  • A "pilot" for The New Price Is Right was taped on August 15, 1972, four days before the recording of episode #0011D. Its title notwithstanding, the show actually served as a dress rehearsal to make sure everything would go smoothly when taping began. Neither Bob nor Dennis was involved with the run-through; who stood in as host that day is lost to time. Roger has stated that he does not believe any footage of the pilot exists.
  • The pilot is not included in any episode counts, although it could reasonably be regarded as "episode 0."


Week 1: September 4, 6, Unaired, 8, 7, 5

  • Originally scheduled for September 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8.
  • This week consists of six episodes, with two Wednesday shows. After the original Wednesday show, #0013D, was taped, the staff discovered that one of the contestants was ineligible because she was the common-law wife of one of the cameramen. It was never aired, and episode #0013D(R) was created to replace it. It is unclear whether or not a tape of episode #0013D still exists.
  • References in this week to "Wednesday show" or "original Wednesday" refer to episode #0013D; references to "replacement Wednesday show" refer to episode #0013D(R). References along the lines of "all shows this week" or "this week's shows" include original Wednesday but not replacement Wednesday unless otherwise noted.
  • Because of the noticeable differences between episode #0013D(R) and this week's five main shows, and for the sake of clarity in numbering the first few playings of Double Prices, Grocery Game, and Bullseye, this document refers to the replacement episode 3 as though it came between episodes 5 and 6.
  • The show begins its existence with Bob hosting, Johnny announcing, and Janice and Anitra as the Barker's Beauties.
  • The show originally airs at 10:30 Eastern/9:30 Central.
  • On this week's shows, the first four contestants are told to "stand up" instead of "come on down."
  • The opening spiel is, "A fortune in fabulous prizes may go to these people today if they know when The Price Is Right!"
  • Monday's opening ends with, "And all four of you, come on down; you're the first contestants on The New Price Is Right!"
  • In the opening logo, the dollar sign and "New" are orange, and the other words are white. Elsewhere, "The" is orange; the dollar sign and "New" are yellow; and "Price," "Is," and "Right" are red.
  • The show's color scheme consists mainly of oranges, yellows, and browns. Its set appears as follows:
    • The Turntable carpet is orange, and the stationary Turntable walls are brown, orange, and yellow. The turning panel has a pattern of dots on the front side and a hexagon pattern on the game side. The wall borders are brown.
    • The Big Doors have their normal patterns that remain in place up through the first episode of Season 31, albeit in drastically different colors. The doorframes are brown; the colored strips on them are orange around Door #1, yellow around Door #2, and red around Door #3.
    • Contestants' Row consists of four brown eggcrate displays; each display has an asterisk on its left side which flashes when the contestant standing behind it wins. The floor in front of Contestants' Row is a black area surrounded by yellow. The seats in the Row are red, whereas the rest of the audience has blue chairs; the "New," "Price," "Is," and "Right" seat covers are not in place yet.
    • The Giant Price Tag is white with a brown border; it displays the show's logo. There is a black circle on the left side, representing a hole that a thread would be put through.
    • The Showcase podiums are red and yellow, with brown borders. The Top Winner stands at the red podium.
    • The Clam has the show's logo in a white field surrounded by orange.
    • The curtains behind the audience are a solid yellow.
  • On all shows this week, Johnny ends each Item up for Bids description with, "And this [name of prize] can be yours if the price is right!"
  • On this week's shows, bidding always starts from the left side of Contestants' Row, regardless of whether or not the newest contestant is standing there.
  • Monday show features the debuts of Any Number, Bonus Game, and Double Prices.
  • On Monday, a microphone mounted on the contestant podium is placed on the Turntable for Any Number and Bonus Game during the preceding IUFBs; it is never seen again after the first episode.
  • Monday and Thursday's playings of Any Number both feature the short-lived "Any Number piggy bank" prop; it seems safe to assume that Wednesday's does, as well, but we currently have no way of checking this.
  • During the half-hour era, the show's theme is used while going to commercial from all segments except for the first part of the Showcase; there, the "come on down" cue is used.
  • On this week's shows, there is no rule stating that the order of the Contestants' Row lineup may not be altered during the course of an episode.
  • Monday show marks the first appearances of the Clam and the Giant Price Tag.
  • On Monday only, the Giant Price Tag has a narrow curtain attached to its left side.
  • On Monday, Bob's microphone dies shortly after Bonus Game is revealed; he uses a much bulkier mic, similar to Dennis's, for the rest of the episode.
  • Monday's Bonus Game contestant, Paul, is called down again 40 years later on Price's 40th anniversary episode, #6023K; amazingly, he ends up playing Bonus Game again.
  • The ticket plug occurs during the commercial between the second and third games; the address is written in simple black text on an orange background.
  • During the ticket plug, a slow remix of the theme's bridge plays.
  • On all shows this week, the flap in Double Prices displays the name of the prize's manufacturer.
  • On all shows this week except for possibly Wednesday (which we currently have no way of checking), the Showcase podiums are already in place or being set up during the third game.
  • The consolation prize plug is read during the commercial between the third game and the Showcase; Johnny refers to those remaining in Contestants' Row as "All contestants who have not participated onstage."
  • The consolation prize plugs use the same music as the ticket plug.
  • On all shows this week, at the end of the Showcase, the Turntable begins spinning for no apparent reason; on all shows except for replacement Wednesday, this also happens while going to commercial during the first part of the Showcase. It seems safe to assume that the spin at the end of the first part of the Showcase was dropped after the first taping week finished.
  • On Monday, the Showcase podiums have flip cards placed on them after the commercial; they are used to reveal the ARPs. For the remainder of the week, the standard price reveal method with Bob reading the ARPs from small price tags is used, and a nameplate with a description of the showcase is placed on each podium during the commercial.
  • Early in the show's run, the credits are displayed in the Pricedown font.
  • For the first week of shows, the full credit roll is aired every day.
  • On Tuesday, the original opening's regular ending, "Come on down and play The New Price Is Right!" is introduced.
  • Tuesday show features the debuts of Grocery Game and Bullseye '72, the day's first and second games, respectively.
  • As a result of CBS broadcasting this week's episodes out of order, the second playings of Grocery Game and Bullseye were actually aired before their first playings.
  • On Tuesday and Friday, Grocery Game is played on the wrong side of the turntable.
  • Tuesday's Grocery Game contestant, Dorothy, is called down again 36 years later, on episode #4502K from November 11, 2008 (which was aired out of order on November 3).
  • On this week's shows, Grocery Game offers a $100 bonus for not going over $7; the phrasing of the rules seems to indicate that it would still be awarded if a contestant lost by running out of products before reaching $6.75.
  • On its first four playings only, Grocery Game contestants automatically win supplies of the five grocery products used in the game. The amounts awarded vary, but they always total at least $100. It is not clear whether the groceries were factored into determining the Top Winner and Runner-Up for the Showcase, as no situation ever arose where it actually would have made a difference.
  • Although their show was not aired, it is believed that the eligible contestants from the original Wednesday show did receive their prizes.
  • Thursday's episode features the first instance of an overbid in the Showcase. As a result, along with the Top Winner only bidding $500 on her showcase, Bob automatically declares the Top Winner the winner and never reveals the price of her showcase, although its value can be calculated by subtracting the prices of her other prizes from her total winnings.
  • Friday show features well-known contestant Boo Boo Cooper, who manages to thoroughly confound Bob as he attempts to guide her through Grocery Game.
  • The replacement Wednesday show was produced during the second week of tapings, and as such, it introduces several things not seen on this week's five main shows, all of which carry over to next week:
    • The normal opening, with contestants being told to "Come on down" and ending with, "You are the first four contestants on The New Price Is Right!" is used for the first time.
    • The Barker Wall makes its first appearance.
    • Contestants are no longer allowed to move to different spots in Contestants' Row during the course of the show.
    • Grocery Game no longer offers cash.
    • Bullseye provides a $500 bidding range.
    • The numbers in Bullseye are now highlighted with blue lights, making them much easier to read.
    • A dot is added to the left side of Bullseye's price tag graphic, indicating the spot that a thread would be put through; this version of the graphic subsequently carries over to Clock Game and Double Bullseye.
    • The flap on Double Prices displays the show's logo.
    • The Showcase podiums have their standard, permanent, brown nameplates.
    • The full credit roll between the Goodson-Todman ID and the show's logo is not shown every day.
  • The replacement Wednesday show has a different pricing game lineup than the original episode (Grocery Game, Bullseye, Double Prices in #0013D(R), as opposed to Any Number, Bonus Game, Double Prices in #0013D), as well as a completely different set of prizes.
  • On replacement Wednesday, Bullseye is played for a boat.
  • On replacement Wednesday, Bob mentions Grocery Game during the Showcase; this marks the first on-air use of any pricing game's name.


Week 2: September 11-15

  • Monday show is the earliest show that does not use the same pricing game lineup as either of the first two episodes.
  • The "The," "Price," "Is," and "Right" seat covers in Contestants' Row are added on Monday; they are not present on Tuesday, which was taped out of order before episode #0013D(R).
  • On Monday, Contestants' Row bidding is altered to move from left to right beginning with the newest contestant and wrapping around when the end of the Row is reached; this is not done on Tuesday, which as noted above, was taped out of order before the week's other four episodes.
  • On Monday, the windows in Bonus Game become blue; they were originally yellow. The game's small prize labels also adopt their standard font for the show's first 40-and-a-half years at this time.
  • Monday show features the debut of Clock Game.
  • On its first three playings, Clock Game's board is noticeably bulkier than usual; it is believed that only the top half of the game existed at this point and that it was somehow attached to the front of Any Number/Bullseye (which are themselves known to have been a single prop).
  • Monday show is the earliest episode on which Double Prices is not played.
  • On Tuesday, the first double overbid happens in the Showcases.
  • On either Wednesday or Thursday -- probably Thursday -- the "The" seat cover in Contestants' Row is replaced with one that reads "New."
  • Thursday show features the final playing of Bullseye '72.
  • On Thursday, instead of providing a bidding range in Bullseye, Bob tells the contestant that the car's price has been rounded to the nearest $10.
  • Thursday's Double Prices and Friday's Clock Game were each originally scheduled for the opposite episode; they were likely switched to avoid having Clock Game appear on the same show as Bullseye.
  • As of Friday, Grocery Game contestants are no longer awarded supplies of the groceries.
  • By Friday, the Any Number board gets its picture of a piggy bank; the piggy bank had been represented by the words "PIGGY BANK" at least through Monday and probably through Wednesday.
  • Any Number's piggy bank prop is retired this week, probably after Wednesday; it is present at least through Monday.
  • The decimal point in Any Number's piggy bank price is white by Friday; it had been black at least through Monday and probably through Wednesday.
  • By Friday, the credits are no longer in the Pricedown font.
  • On at least Friday's show, the Showcase title in the Runner-Up's podium is yellow; while it is not known for certain how long this happened, a logical guess would be that it occurred this Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
  • On at least Friday's show, the Showcase title cards are placed in the podiums during the second showcase; while it is not known for certain how long this happened, a logical guess would be that it occurred this Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.


Week 3: September 18-22

  • Beginning on Monday, the two left-hand stationary Turntable walls are brown, pink, black, orange, and yellow, from outside to inside. Additionally, their wall borders now have chase lights going around them.
  • On Monday, the Clock Game board receives its own base.
  • On Monday, the blank nameplates on the Showcase podiums are still brown.
  • Tuesday show features the debut of Double Bullseye.
  • When Double Bullseye's first contestant comes up from Contestants' Row, the show's theme plays instead of the "come on down" music.
  • Wednesday show is the earliest episode, and the only one for a long time, to deviate from the show's original formula of playing two longer games first and second and a shorter game third; it was originally scheduled with a lineup of Bonus Game, Any Number, Clock Game, but the actual episode used a lineup of Clock Game, Any Number, Bonus Game.


Week 4: September 25-29

  • Tuesday show features the debut of Five Price Tags.
  • By Thursday, the side of Grocery Game's countertop is red; it had originally been brown.
  • By Thursday, Double Bullseye's staging has been altered so that the Showcase podiums are angled toward one another; originally, they had been positioned the same way as during the Showcase.
  • By Thursday, Double Bullseye has been modified to give the contestants a $500 range in which to bid.
  • By Thursday, the blank nameplates on the Showcase podiums have become yellow on the red podium and pink on the yellow podium, and their descriptive cards have been changed from brown to orange.
  • On Thursday, Johnny still refers to the contestants who remain in Contestants' Row during the consolation prize plugs as "All contestants who have not participated onstage."


Week 5: October 2-6


Week 6: October 9-13

  • Tuesday show features the final playing of Double Bullseye.


Week 7: October 16-20

  • Monday show features the debut of Most Expensive.
  • Once Most Expensive debuts, shelves for its price tags to rest on are added to the podiums that it shares with Five Price Tags; the shelves are only added to three of the podiums, meaning that one of them was only ever used in Five Price Tags. Although it is not confirmable at present, based on tape dates, this change probably did not occur until Monday.
  • On Tuesday show, Sherrie Palmer is called as one of the first four contestants; however, Cherie Cavin comes on down instead. Cherie is allowed to remain in Contestants' Row, and as far as is known, nothing is said of the incident on the air. After the taping, the situation is explained to Sherrie, and she is told that she will be called down if she returns on the next day of tapings; she does so and is called as one of the first four contestants on Thursday.
  • On Thursday's show, a puppy is offered in the showcase. This will probably preclude it from being aired on Price Is Right: The Barker Era.


Week 8: October 23-27

  • As of Monday, the floor in front of Contestants' Row still has its original appearance.
  • As of Monday, there is still no "WIN!/OVER" display on Grocery Game's cash register.
  • On Monday, in an odd coincidence, the two contestants who reach the Showcase turn out to be neighbors and already know each other.
  • Tuesday's show was originally planned to feature the debut of Give or Keep; for reasons lost to time, this did not happen, and Bonus Game was played instead.
  • For reasons unknown, Friday's Grocery Game player, who loses immediately by buying 24 Chunky bars, is awarded 24 Chunky bars.


Week 9: October 30-November 3

  • By Thursday, the floor in front of Contestants' Row has changed; it is now a solid yellow with two black squares containing black G-T asterisks.
  • By Thursday, the WIN!/OVER display has been added to Grocery Game's cash register.
  • By Friday, Any Number has begun to vary its prize reveal: Some shows use the original method; others do not return to Bob between the prize and the car; and still others plug the car first, with the prize sometimes appearing behind the doors alongside it and other times not being shown until Bob explains the game.


Week 10: November 6-10

  • By Monday, Johnny has begun referring to those remaining in Contestants' Row during the consolation prize plugs as "Contestants not appearing onstage."
  • By Monday, Johnny has begun throwing back to commercial from the consolation prize plugs with the phrase, "Coming up next is our fabulous Price Is Right Showcase!"
  • On Monday, Anitra's daughter, Erin, helps her mother and Janice present a toy-themed showcase.


Week 11: November 13-17

  • Monday's show is the first episode taped during a technicians' strike, during which various Goodson and/or non-union CBS staffers operated the cameras; as a result, the production quality of the next several weeks of shows, and this week especially, is noticeably lower than usual.
  • Thursday's show was rerun on Game Show Network during the 1990s despite a fur coat being offered in Bonus Game.
  • Friday show is rerun during Season 28 on February 29, 2000, following that year's Pillsbury Bake-Off.


Week 12: November 20-22, 24

  • Thanksgiving week; only four shows.


Week 13: November 27-December 1

  • Wednesday's episode features the first playing of Double Prices behind door #2 as it was played for a Sailboat.


Week 15: December 11-15


Week 16: December 18-22


Week 17: December 25-29

  • Monday show features the debut of Money Game.
  • Money Game's car symbols were originally yellow on a black background.
  • Early in Money Game's existence, most of the studio's lights were dimmed during the game.
  • Initially, the dollar signs by Money Game's car price and wrong answer slots have no background.
  • Wednesday show features the debut of Give or Keep.
  • Early in Give or Keep's existence, the "Keep" and "Give" labels were much smaller than usual.


Week 18: January 2-5

  • New Year's week; only four shows.
  • On Thursday, Money Game's car symbols are still yellow on a black background.
  • On Thursday, most of the studio's lights are still being dimmed during Money Game.
  • On Thursday, orange circles are added behind the dollar signs by Money Game's car price and wrong answer slots.

Week 23: February 6-9

  • Originally scheduled for February 5-7, 9.
  • Only four shows; no Thursday episode.
  • Circumstantial evidence suggests that an episode #0234D, which logically would have been the first show to tape after January 25, was planned out but was ultimately removed from the production schedule after Price was pre-empted that day; instead, the shows from #0214D through #0233D were each aired a day late, and tapings picked back up with #0235D.


Week 24: February 12-16

  • On Wednesday, Valentine's Day, only ladies are called down, and Bob gives each contestant a rose.
  • By Wednesday, several additional black lines have been drawn on the yellow floor section in front of Contestants' Row, giving the entire area a pattern of squares.

Week 30: March 26-30

  • On Monday, the show moves to the afternoon, airing at 3:00 Eastern/2:00 Central.
  • A Home Viewer Showcase is presented this week. In this contest, which occurs many times over the next two decades, a special showcase is presented to the home audience each day during the show, and viewers are invited to bid on it; the viewer nearest to the actual price without going over, or one of said viewers selected at random in the case of a tie, wins all of the prizes.
  • By Wednesday, the dollar sign in Money Game's car price has been enlarged to its normal size.


Week 31: April 2-6

  • Tuesday show features the debut of Range Game.


Week 32: April 9-13

  • Monday show features the debut of Hi Lo.
  • The first two playings of Hi Lo had different rules - the contestant would pick an item, then designate whether it belonged on the "Hi" or "Lo" row. The game would end by placing all six items correctly, or if became clear that the contestant made a mistake.


Week 33: April 16-20

  • Monday's show, which was taped drastically out of order, is speculated to have featured the reveal of the winner of the Home Viewer Showcase.
  • As of Tuesday, Range Game is still using its original, $50 rangefinder.
  • By Wednesday, the studio lights are no longer being dimmed during Money Game.
  • By Wednesday, the column titles on the Give or Keep board have been enlarged to their normal sizes.
  • Friday show features the debut of Double Digits.


Week 34: April 23-27

  • Wednesday show is the earliest episode on which Five Price Tags is played and Grocery Game is not.


Week 35: April 30-May 4


Week 36: May 7-11

  • By Tuesday, Hi Lo has begun to use its normal rules.
  • By Tuesday, Double Digits has adopted its second rules.
  • By Tuesday, Range Game has abandoned its $50 rangefinder and begun using its $100 rangefinder.


Week 37: May 14-16, June 14-15

  • Originally scheduled for May 14-18.
  • For reasons unknown, Thursday and Friday's shows were re-designated at some point as episodes #0421D and #0422D, respectively.
  • From this Thursday through the middle of October, a long series of pre-emptions and rescheduling caused by network coverage of the Watergate hearings. The production number changes mentioned in the notes for this and the next several weeks are presumably connected with this.
  • Friday show features the final playing of Double Digits.


Week 38: May 21, June 18, June 20, June 19, May 25

  • Originally scheduled for May 21-25.
  • For reasons unknown, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday's shows were re-designated at some point as episodes #0423D, #0425D, and #0424D, respectively.


Week 39: May 28-June 1


Week 40: June 4-5, 21, 7-8

  • Originally scheduled for June 4-8.
  • For reasons unknown, Wednesday's show was re-designated at some point as episode #0431D.
  • By Friday, Range Game has abandoned its $100 rangefinder and begun using its standard $150 rangefinder.


Week 41: June 11-12

  • Only two shows, for Monday and Tuesday.
  • For reasons unknown, Tuesday's show was re-designated at some point as episode #0415D.


Week 42: No shows

  • This week has no episodes in its own right; however, for reasons unknown, the June 12, May 17, May 18, May 22, May 24, May 23, and June 6 episodes were re-designated at some point as last week's Friday show, this week's five shows, and next week's Monday show, respectively. Strangely, none of these episodes ended up airing on the dates indicated by their new production numbers.


Week 43: June 22, July 2, August 31, September* 3

  • Originally scheduled for June 26-29.
  • Only four shows; no Monday episode.
  • The show was pre-empted by the Watergate hearings every day of the week during which these episodes were originally scheduled to air.
  • On Tuesday, the show's 200th episode, The New Price Is Right's name is changed to "The Price Is Right;" all instances of the show's title in any spoken or written text are altered to reflect this.
  • Presumably beginning on Tuesday, in the logo seen in the opening and on the Double Prices podium, the dollar sign is orange, "Price" is yellow, and the other words are white. Elsewhere, the logo's standard color scheme debuts, with the dollar sign and "Price" in yellow and the other words in red.


Week 44: September* 4, July 3-6

  • Originally scheduled for July 2-6.
  • Hi-Lo is now playing by it's normal rules, but Bob is still revealing the prices immediately when picked.
  • On Wednesday, before the car is revealed in Five Price Tags, Bob and the contestant stand unusually far back from the big doors, very much so that Janice can be seen in the background with the price tags' podium. Also, Bob goofs up as he accidentally reveals the correct price of one of the small prizes and as a result, the contestant is automatically given that prize and a free choice of the price tags.


Week 45: July 9-11, September* 17, July 13

  • Originally scheduled for July 9-13.
  • By Friday, the orange parts of the Clam have been repainted an orangish shade of yellow.
  • By Friday, the ticket plug's address card has been redone with its traditional font and a lighter orange background.


Week 46: July 16, September* 13, July 18-19, September* 14

  • Originally scheduled for July 16-20.
  • On Tuesday and Thursday, Grocery Game's cash register, except for the WIN!/OVER display, is gray and white. It seems likely that this was a replacement register, as the blue color scheme is present throughout Season 2.
  • On Tuesday, during Five Price Tags, contestant Carol reveals to Bob that she needs a bathroom, prompting him to joke "That is not what I have behind this door".
  • Also on Tuesday, it appears as if the first "Every Room In The House" Showcase took place, according to the Barker Era Season 1 drop in 2023.


Week 47: July 23-24, September* 12, July 26-27

  • Originally scheduled for July 23-27.


Week 48: September* 11, July 31, August 1, September* 10, August 3

  • Originally scheduled for July 30-August 3.


Week 49: August 6, November* 30, October* 12, August 9-10

  • Originally scheduled for August 6-10.


Week 50: August 13-17

  • On Wednesday, the contestants' Showcase differences are $326 and $325.


Week 51: August 20-21, November* 5, August 23-24

  • Originally scheduled for August 20-24.


Week 52: August 27-30

  • Only four shows; no Friday episode.
  • By Monday, the circles on the Barker Wall have changed from yellow to brown.
  • Tuesday show features the debut of Lucky Seven.
  • On early playings of Lucky Seven, the contestant is given the seven $1 bills before being shown the car.
  • As of Thursday, the blank nameplates on the Showcase podiums are still the color of the opposite podium.


Week 53: November* 19, September* 6-7

  • Originally scheduled for September* 5-7.
  • Only three shows; episodes delayed by Watergate coverage are aired on Monday and Tuesday.
  • On Wednesday, the patterns on both sides of the spinning panel of the Turntable wall are changed to a solid cream color.
  • Friday show features the debut of Temptation.
  • Temptation is initially staged to the left of where we are used to seeing it, considerably closer to the Turntable.
  • Temptation is played with its original rules, which did not allow changes after the initial picking of the numbers of the price of the car.


Week 54: No shows

  • No new episodes were produced for the week of September* 10-14; instead, episodes delayed from Weeks 46, 47, and 48 were aired. However, the production numbers skip from #0535D to #0552D, so this is still technically Week 54.


Week 55: September* 18-21

  • Only four shows; no Monday episode.
  • Season finale week.
  • Season 2 begins next Monday.
  • On Wednesday, a red stripe is added just inside the wall border on both sides of the spinning panel of the Turntable wall.
  • On Wednesday, Give or Keep is played for a car.

Primetime syndication[]

For the most part, this version of the show is the same as the daytime version, but with these changes:

  • Dennis James hosts instead of Bob Barker.
  • A few extra models appear on this version.
  • The budget is noticeably higher, with cars costing about $3,000-$5,000 more than what would be seen on daytime.
