DVD Reviews of Best of the Price is Right

DVD Review: Price is right with "Price Is Right"
Summary: 4 Stars

Many have harped about the DVD set "The Best Of The Price Is Right" for its selection of its earliest four years of the CBS show and Bob Barker's final week as it excludes some noted show models. Others, who were born way after the CBS show began, think the Bill Cullen shows shouldn't have been included ("It's not in color!..." "it doesn't have pricing games!..." "the contestants aren't crazy!..." "we can't psychoanalyze the lettering font in a game display!"). Cry me a river, all of you. Cullen's show was TV's top game in its day and Barker's version probably wouldn't have made it on the air without it paving the way. As for the selection of Barker episodes, let it stand as a testament, a litmus test, of how it started as a "Let's Make A Deal" ripoff and became TV's longest running game. If anyone's to blame for not having a wider spread of shows, blame either CBS or Barker himself and his beef with the excluded models.

DVD Review: Price is right
Summary: 5 Stars

Its a trip back in history to see these old shows with the old products and low, low prices.

DVD Review: Come on Down
Summary: 4 Stars

The DVD is really good, but would be perfect if they put some
more of the newer Seasons on it ...!!!

DVD Review: Great for REAL Price is Right fan!
Summary: 5 Stars

I was dissapointed in all of the negative reviews for this T.P.I.R. DVD set. If you are a true fan of T.P.I.R. with Bob Barker this is an unbeatable DVD set. This set has some great vintage Bob Barker episodes from the 70's and it was a lot of fun watching the old prizes, with the old prices!! Also as a bonus there were some episodes of the original Price is Right. But the greatest part of this set are that it includes the entire last week of The Price is Right with Bob Barker! You'll be able to enjoy watching the best gameshow host of all time Bob Barker hosting the greatest game show of all time The Price is Right for years to come. We can only hope that they release a volume 2!! Like I said, if you aren't a true fan then don't buy this. If you love Bob, and T.P.I.R. then you will LOVE this set!

DVD Review: Hello again Anitra Ford!
Summary: 5 Stars

Though it can justifiably be called junk food television, and though it never afforded Bob Barker's caustic wit the latitude it had enjoyed on his own "Truth or Consequences," this heavily formatted revival of Bill Cullen's game show, did possess two superb reasons for tuning in--the Misses Janice Pennington and Anitra Ford.

These two lissome lovelies brightened many an afternoon, (or evening, if it was the Dennis James' night time edition) at least for this once prep school lad, who had an implacable crush on them both. Seeing their graceful, long legged and long tressed, and most symmetrical forms moving deftly, (with trademarked hand flourishes and brilliant smiles) amongst the prizes to Ed Kalehoff's bouncy musical score was better than taking the prize cheerleader to the prom, (much better!) And it certainly proved a welcome break from mountainous Geometry and Western Civ homework assignments, (as dorm parties across the country to watch the show attest). What fun it was to catch Bob, Janice, Anitra, and the inimitable voice of Goodson-Todman--Johnny Olson as an antidote to the doldrums.

Janice was of the Joanna Pettit mold, whilst Anitra's south of the border smolder called to mind Claudia Cardinale. In any case, this set is particularly fun in reacquainting oneself with Miss Ford after her protracted absence. She is everything that memory served to preserve and then some!

Too bad they didn't include any episodes of her modeling a fur. That was her particular specialty. These furs, (usually by Zinman) were modeled on a platform in the middle of the audience. Tossing her hair back and luxuriating in the mink, Miss Ford really upped the ante, surely making most male bidders want the fur only if she came with it! Viva Anitra Ford!
