Price is Right Episodes That Will Certainly Never Be Broadcast Again

[Alfonzo]

"Never say never," but let's be honest: There are certainly episodes from the show's history that will more than likely never be officially shown again. Among those:

Episodes with furs, stuffed or mounted animals or animal rugs. Even with Bob's passing I'm sure out of respect for his memory his estate will not allow fur episodes to be shown.

Earliest playings of Cliff Hangers using "Whistle While You Work", unless the producers want to pay Disney a licensing fee.

Playings of Shower Game because of the controversial reason of its retirement.

Playings of Finish Line because of Bob's dislike of horse racing.

Playings of Bump because of its provocative nature, although one episode slipped by, and we're not sure if this official yet.

Any thoughts of any individual episodes I might have left off?

Someone jog my memory but wasn’t there an earlyish Drew ep where some hyper obnoxious male contestant was called down and did nothing but make irreverent bids (x69, things way way way too large, etc)?

That’ll never air again. S37 is also fairly well best left in the vault. I watched the fried chicken showcase the day it aired and *shudders*

The Drewcase Era, or as I call it "The Drewcase Error." Talk about growing pains.

Wonder if they'll show the "420 Girl" episode again...

I'm starting to think this was intentional (for one showing) because of the very long spin-off and Bob's reaction.

Actually, that's "The Silly Song", and the copyright to Snow White expires in 2033, so most of us will still be around, depending on if those episodes offered furs. Then again, if furs become as rare as typewriters are today, even those episodes could still slip in.

Don't forget the "slave auction" episode from December 1984 that was the premiere of One Away, never seen perhaps since its original airing.

I would guess S36 also may not ever reair, since Pluto TV skipped it along with season 37 on its Drew era channel.

If they're going to keep things like stuffed animal episodes off, why not go one step further and ban episodes with cars that have leather seats - or, for that matter, episodes where they play Grocery Game with Pepperoni Hot Pockets (IIRC, they did stop using any items with meat in them at some point...and how long did it take for someone to explain to Bob what gives Knox Unflavored Gelatin its "setting power")?

Most of the things on this list are things I think we're probably overreacting to, but you really do have to wonder how the hell this ever got on the air.

Especially since this was supposed to be in a more "enlightened" time.

BTW, I should add that I don't necessarily agree with any of these episodes being pulled (The archivist in me would love to have the complete show on some sort of record), I'm just wondering which ones probably won't be seen again for whatever reason silly or not.

That’s the one. I went back to YT and was stunned to find that was a S36 ep. I had it in my mind that was later.

This goes to show the absurdity of the "fur ban" for what it is.

[GameShowFan1987]

The this. Skip to the showcase for context.

I can only say "What were they thinking?" to that slave auction showcase.

I'm not anyone was actually "thinking" (on a level of common sense) before going through with that segment
