TPIR Seasons 1977: Archive!

[babytims]

Hello friends, our sixth show/season is due to take place now, and this show comes with a myriad of changes due to a format change and still trying to keep the show fresh and fun:

I made 2 big changes: firstly I am no longer inflating prices to their respective time periods, I am going to use modern day prices. I know this is a big change but please bear with me.
Due to this, and the fact that some pricing games use 4 digit spaces for prizes that would be 5 digits (I’m talking about cars), I am going to make and use my own graphics once again.
Next big change: no more cash cards. I’m going to use the regular showcase showdown wheel. More on that later.

Cash awards and prizes will stay the same, however. Next year when we do Punch a Bunch it’ll be for $10,000, Plinko when we play it will be for $25,000, etc, to keep that retro feel.

Alright enough banter, I think I said everything. I need 4 players who want to start the hour off!

[koopakid17]

I will play!

[mringgenberg]

Count me in!

[babytims]

Halfway there to start!

[pathfinder20]

Me!

[babytims]

1 more!!

[EaglesWings]

Sure, I will play again

[babytims]

Thanks! I got my 4, but I do need 3 more!

Showtime will be later this evening

[babytims]

Forgot to mention: Starting this season until the 1998 episode, any perfect Contestant's Row bid will be worth a $100 cash bonus!

And now, ladies and gentlemen, here's the star of The Price is Right, Immanuel Tims!

*loud cheers as I enter through big doors, I walk on stage as a star wipes to Manuela handing me the microphone, I bow as the camera pans across the audience before I say...*

Welcome to The Price is Right! Folks are you in a good mood today?

*cheers*

Are you ready to win today?

*cheers*

Then let's get to it. Here's the first item going up for bids on The Price is Right!

George: A new guitar!

*prize cue, applause*

This guitar gives that beautiful Gibson acoustic tone. Brought into the 21st century with high-clarity electronics and flawless playability. The Gibson Hummingbird AG Mahogany provides the perfect blend of, well, everything you could ask for in an electro acoustic guitar. Top of the list is the amazing, textured tone it gives you.


I'll ask for one bid from each of you, the one of you who bids closest to the actual retail price without going over will win the guitar. Kevin, we begin the bidding with you sir!

*audience shouts suggestions*

(Remember, I'm not inflating prices anymore to keep the show modern and fresh, so please bid on the guitar as if you're bidding for it in today's prices, not 1977's prices.)

*cod cue, cheers*

Welcome to the stage Matt! You won that guitar, how would you like this to go with it?

George: How about a trip to Miami!

*trip cue, cheers*




You and a guest will fly round trip coach from Los Angeles to Miami, Florida for a 6 night stay at the Doral hotel. Enjoy the lovely beaches that surround the hotel and take a dip in the oceans, and even take the time to enjoy the lovely cuisine the hotel has to offer!



Matt, the first number in the price of the trip is five. One is the last number. I want you to remove the 7, 9, or 3 from the price, the other numbers will squeeze together, and if that's the price of the trip, I'll send you to Miami! Do you want the 7, 9, or 3 removed?

*audience shouts suggestions*

[babytims]

(Also, I do need 3 players. Thanks)

[mringgenberg]

3

[babytims]

We'll remove the 3 from the group.

*squeeze sfx*




If the price of that trip is $5,791, you're on your way to Miami...




*buzz, losing horns*


I'm sorry Matt, the trip was more expensive than you thought. You do win that guitar though and I hope to see you at the Big Wheel!

*applause, theme plays*

We'll have some more fun when we come back after this break!


*fade to commercial*

[babytims]

(Before we go on, I do need 3 people, I at least need one so the next round can start!)

[Bill Skinner]

(takes next available seat in audience, because who would want to pass up a chance to spin the Big Wheel?)

[babytims]

Ok George, I need another willing player. Who've you got?

George: Well Immanuel, we have a Mr. Bill Skinner! Come on down, you're the next contestant on The Price is Right!

*cod cue, cheers*




Bill welcome to the show! We're glad you can be here today. Folks, here's the next item going up for bids!

George: How about a dishwasher!

*prize cue, applause*




Kenmore's built-in dishwasher 1322 features the PowerWave Spray Arm that gets dishes clean from every direction, with sequential jets that sweep dishes from not just one but two sides for 80% more coverage. Plus, no one cleans better, thanks to the energy-efficient ultra wash HE wash system. 

And the first person who'll bid on the dishwasher is Bill!

[Bill Skinner]

$990! Chris wins the dishwasher!

*cod cue, cheers*

Chris welcome aboard! I now have the chance for you to win 3 prizes. Take a look and listen!

George: It's a range!

*prize cue, applause*

Two burners are within; a bottom burner for baking, and a top burner for broiling. There is an oven light and see-through window on the door so you can always check on your cuisine without opening the oven door and consequently losing heat. Another featured convenience is the bottom storage drawer which frees up shelving or cupboard space within the kitchen. Or...a new car!

*car cue*





It's the new 2022 Honda Insight! It's got plenty to swoon over, from it's elegant design to its spacious cabin with brilliant finishes. And with available amenities such as a power moonroof, heated front seats and remote engine start, the Insight is one sophisticated hybrid!


Now I said you can win 3 prizes, but I've only shown you two. I'm about to show you the third one.




And that prize is the money in the good ol' piggy bank. You'll be playing the game that started this series, Any Number. I'll tell you the first number in the price of the car is...



A 3. You're playing for a car worth more than $30,000. Every digit zero through nine including another three appears somewhere on this game board, but each number, except for the 3 of course, appears only once in the price of these 3 prizes. You'll give me a number, and we'll light it up in a price, and you'll win the prize the price of which you fill out first. Give me a number in the price of the car!
