The Price is Right: The Barker Era on Pluto TV

I would imagine there will be some Card Game sprinkled into those Poker/Hit Me selected shows too.

Probably Dice Game too.

Not on the Tweeter yet but promos running today for a "Casino Sunday" 4/18 featuring Poker Game and Hit Me.

Perhaps some Dice Game as well.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the above reply.

With the Marathon a couple days away, Pluto has not skipped any episodes, which goes off of what they’ve done for past specials (Christmas, New Year’s, Car Wins, SCSD Marathon).  Other than New Year’s, each marathon started and ended at 6 AM Eastern.  In those timeframes, the episodes reran 4 times if it included 6 shows, and twice for 12 shows.

We were slated to go back to 4581 at 2 AM Eastern.  I think there may be a chance that the Marathon starts at that time and ends 24 hours later.  Whether or not they skip anything upon the reset is unknown.

I guess I’m looking forward to the Marathon.  On the other hand, it may be a marathon just for the sake of having a marathon.  Especially if the focus is on just Hit Me and Poker Game.  As referenced, I expect Dice Game and Card Game on Sunday.  In doing so, they’re focusing on all the big table games.  Blackjack for Hit Me, Poker Game for Poker (or Video Poker, which would cover “Slots” IMO), and Dice Game for Craps.  I guess the SCSD could cover Roulette.  Card Game doesn’t really cover anything other than the feel of being at the table for a table game

Watching 4965 right now and was curious to look up the recap here:
http://tpirepguide.com/?p=14706

Funny that the recap posted for 4965 at the above link and what Pluto is calling 4965 do not match at all!

Edit: After looking into it a little further, what Pluto is calling 4965 is actually posted as the recap for 4981. I'm guessing the mistake is Pluto's.

[SeaBreeze341]

It is Pluto's mistake.  They forgot to update their grid.  It's still set as if there was no marathon planned for Sunday.

According to several people, there were episodes that were skipped after all.  That includes 4773, 4793, 4794, 4801, 4832, & 4851.  That means 4581 would start six hours early, or 8 PM Eastern.

So much for my earlier post.  You can disregard any mention of nothing being skipped.

I haven't seen any official mention, but I guess they'll still start the Marathon tomorrow at 6 AM Eastern as is the custom.  If it's a 6-episode special, I guess they'll run it four times

Am I the only one who has noticed Homer Thomas from Ep 4682.
He is kinda like the Yolanda Bowserly of male contestants without the full reveal.
At the risk of being risque or vulgar, the next time it airs notice that he fills out his trousers in a way that would make any Polska Kielbasa proud.  Maybe thats why he carried Poopsie the stuffed animal.  His own personal “oooops” banner. ‘Cept he didn’t use it effectively. Maybe he was just happy to see Bob.

I've noticed this a lot lately...

Anytime a contestant during an IUFB asks about ONE of the previous bids ("What did she bid?" "What was the last bid?"), Bob will always rapidly list ALL the bids up to that point while pointing at the players. Like...

Bob: What do you bid, Alice?
Alice: 450.
Bob: 450. Barry?
Barry: 625.
Bob: 625. Christine?
Christine: 299.
Bob: 299. Danielle?
Danielle: What did she bid? (ponts to Christine)
Bob: 450-625-299.

They're only asking about one particular person's bid, so wouldn't it confuse them if Bob is just saying what everyone bid?

[Nick]

wouldn't it confuse them if Bob is just saying what everyone bid?

I wouldn't think so.  It saves the inevitable follow-up question, "What did he bid (points to Barry)?", followed by, "And what did she bid (points to Alice)?".

[actual_retail_tice]

That, and if Bob wasn't certain which person's bid the contestant had asked about, he has every bid covered.

[JayC]

From what I recall, Bob would almost always relay every bid whenever a contestant asked for the previous bid. It ensures that the contestant bidding is aware of all the bids, so they can't turn around and say they weren't aware.

[SeaBreeze341]

I'd have to search for it, but I don't or can't ever recall Bob not repeating one's bid.  I think he'll only repeat a particular bid "upon request".  In other words, if someone asks for the highest bid or the lowest bid

Anyone else frustrated the little descriptions with the episode numbers don't actually match what they broadcast?

[RatRace10]

Yeah, they got out of sync after they didn't account for the Casino Sunday episodes.

I have kept track of every episode that’s aired and when since 12/01/2020 (with some help from the awesome users here & Discord, and then some).  I’ve also kept track of the patterns that Pluto has used when it comes to what they do (since they really never say anything about it).  In addition, there was one point where they didn’t even list the episode that was scheduled to air, so you can disregard it.

I’m not going to list the current run in this thread (as in the dates/times of all 200 episodes in the current run since it might take up too much space), but to be rather brief, they started over on 04/26/2021 at 4 PM Eastern.  That means if you do the math, they’ll restart on 05/05/2021 at Midnight.  However, someone has recently removed episodes on YouTube that are slated to be part of the next 100 episodes.  I don’t know the timeline between when that occurred prior to the launch, but it would be nice if they could resume with 4994D on 05/05/2021 at Midnight.

Or not; that’s a tough time, but it is pretty expected as they’ve added new episodes during “dead” hours.  If 4581D is the episode on 05/05, then I think 4994D will definitely surface on 05/13/2021 at 8 AM Eastern.   Despite whatever conflicts may surface for me and others it’s a nice point to start adding to the rotation.

As of the timestamp of this post, they should be on 4823D (03/16/1983) but I think the people that were tracking the episodes (as in others not me) are more of a reliable source than that guide Pluto uses.

BTW, it is still frustrating, but I figured I'd go back to what worked prior to Pluto adding their "descriptions"

John Ricci, Jr. once posted a clip of a Walk of Fame playing from around April 6, 1984 quite some time ago, and I remember reading in Golden-Road's past archived posts that someone was trying to pinpoint the date in which Holly Hallstrom returned to the show on a regular basis.  Initially, it was said that she returned by April 9, 1984, but after the Walk of Fame clip was uploaded, the date by which Holly returned was narrowed down by one episode.  Thanks to the Pluto TV channel, we may now be able to watch out for the actual episode's airdate in which Holly returned to the show after her short-lived acting career.  I was interested in finding out some interesting stuff on the Price is Right Timeline, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere.  What happened to the Timeline?

I did happen to see the January 19, 1984 episode not long ago, and did discover an African-American model filling in for a model.  I learned that the model's name was Pat, and I am assuming she covered for Holly by that time.  However, I may have skimmed through the January 26, 1984 episode, and unless I overlooked, I could have sworn that Holly was in that episode.
