Per this Twitter account, (https://twitter.com/TVMoJoe) PlutoTV is adding a second 24-hour Price is Right channel featuring Drew-era episodes starting June 1st.
Let the speculation about which episodes these will be begin. (My guess is, don't expect to see a great deal pre-S39.)
Renamed thread title and stickied to match the Barker Era channel thread. No content in this thread has otherwise been modified.

I'm not expecting any episodes from before George becoming permanent announcer. George has become as synonymous with Drew's TPiR as Johnny and Rod were with Bob.
I'm also not holding my breath to see any of the primetime specials.

and if we DO start from the s36-38 time span, i know at least one episode that they'd rather skip
and i'm pretty certain you know which one i mean

Does it involve “$0” appearing on an eggcrate display at the end of the show, combined with a deadpan Drew reaction? Because if so, I think I know which one you mean.
-
Pretty sure that one's not happening.

Fremantle cooperated with making a successful documentary about that episode. If they thought that episode was some shameful thing that should be buried they could have easily just said “no, you can’t use our copyrighted footage.” Instead they opened the vaults.
Everybody at Price involved with that particular episode who might have been embarrassed by it has been gone from the show for a number of years, except maybe Drew (and I have my doubts he’s still dwelling on it all these years later).
There are good reasons to jump ahead a few seasons instead of starting with S36/37, but the Perfect Bid ep isn’t one IMO.

We can't even get the Barker Era Channel here in Canada yet. Curious if we'll get this one.

you make a good point there

Promos for the channel have begun airing on Pluto. A lot of the clips are "blink and you miss it" with generic looking things but I was able to track two of them to 4932K, 12/01/09, and all of the clips are from S38. The channel was mentioned as "The Price is Right Channel" and not something like "The Carey Era" so I'm sure that won't confuse anybody at all ever.

I didn't even think of that.
I was thinking of Joseph from S36 and his 69s, 420, and two million dollar bids.

Yeah, that too was a rough episode that was rightly marked "not for rerun."
-
While there are a handful of content from early Drew that are worth a rewatch, if/when they start at Season 39 or 40, I'm not complaining, period. The main reason is that I'm blessed that they're giving Carey his own channel & we're getting something from the era.
There may be an argument that more recent episodes are too recent, and people might want to see the early stuff. I'd disagree because you want to start at a point where people enjoy & stick around during the run. I doubt you're getting people to maintain interest airing episodes from awful seasons like 37 & 38

So I'm guessing they will be starting from season 38 then. Not surprised they wouldn't show seasons 36 and 37, but 38 is a little surprising since Rich Fields was still there then. When they reaired older episodes in 2020 due to the extended rerun period, they didn't go further back than pre-George Gray episodes.

Is there any proof that's Joseph's episode was truly barred from rerunning, or is this just another piece of internet folklore?

Checking the thread from 2008, the source on that was apparently Willy (http://www.golden-road.net/index.php/topic,6942.msg97699.html#msg97699). I believe him.

I knew that I read that from somewhere, but I couldn’t remember where.

Any knowledge of when this will launch? Didn’t see the channel there this morning.
-
Channel is now live, Early S38 is where we are rn.
-
Ignore my comment above. The channel has appeared.
As of noon EDT they’re on 4841K (OAD: 9/29/09)
Recap: http://www.golden-road.net/index.php/topic,12756.msg203546.html#msg203546
So that answers that. Were in S38 and we’re getting episodes with Rich to start.
-
Surprised to hear Rich.
Guaranteed we will never see any season 36 episodes simply because they’re SD.

Why would that stop them? They have a whole other channel of 1980s episodes all in SD

True, but the entirety of the Barker era is SD, whereas all but the first season of the Carey era are HD.
Also, that season 36 set was awful.
-
Season 36 as a whole has aged terribly, so probably best they don't air it...

And probably wouldn’t be much fun to watch. Besides Drew’s growing pains, you also run into the fact that a good half of the season was spent with limited and repeating lineups as Drew learned the games. Definitely wouldn’t make for great watching in a binge as Pluto is apt to inspire.

I guess the Internet is written in ink…no memory.

How about 37? "The Price Is Right but the Show Is Off-Brand"?! Horribly written showcases, gunky sounding music, that damn purple wheel, about 100 too many models, and the ever popular dinner combo of fried chicken and pie.
-
Thinking of the hockey player showcase..."How'd you like a punch in the face?"
-
I wasn't following TPiR at that time so I've got a bit of morbid curiosity about the infamous S36/37. I have seen clips of Joseph.
I agree that it's probably not how they want to start the new channel.
-
Now playing the JD Roberto episodes from 2010. Still not loving them.
-
Are they editing out the ticket plugs at the end of the first Showcase Showdown, and if so, how clumsy is it?
I just typed cbs.com/tickets into my browser -- that address now redirects to CBS's official Let's Make a Deal page, so it isn't awful if that plug gets left in. But I don't know where that phone number led to, or whether it's still active.
-

Just a quick fade to black. Not terribly clumsy.
-
Yeah , its usually just fading to black after he mentions the contestant going to the showcase. Some of the episodes are also fading to black after the end of the final pricing game just before Drew mentions the 2nd SS.
-
As of today, they have reached S39.

Just like they did the first time around.

Those episodes contained a PriceisRight.com plug in the toss that has been edited out. I've got the OB versions of a couple and that's what it's been every time.

Having grown increasingly...not fond...of Bob Barker the more episodes of his from the 80s I'm exposed to, and with my own cache of Drew's more recent episodes (S47-Present) well viewed, I've been excited to finally dig into an alternative.
First, immediate thought: Although Drew definitely still definitely improves over time, even episodes as early as Fall 2009 are significantly better than I remember. Both in the overall setup of the episodes and Drew's performance as host. It is already abundantly clear to me only a few episodes into the current 200+ episode loop that most of my opinions of this era were colored by my feelings at the time regarding the changeover at Producer feelings that have partially changed on at least one side) and that, 15 years removed: Drew has always been at least very good and I was absolutely in the wrong to be negative in my feelings regarding Drew for the time I was (until ~2013 or so).

Not blaming you for this thought, I understand where it's coming from... however, I have observed that Bob seemed "meaner" than usual during the 1982-1984 time period, which is basically all Pluto has run at this point. I suspect this is due to bitterness over Dorothy Jo's death.
Certainly by 1985-1986 he seems to have mellowed off and returns to a much more pleasant form of hosting that he embraced in the '70s, and was pretty much the same way for the next 10 to 15 years. But I see how the Pluto episodes have reveled Bob with a somewhat harsher personality than we're used to seeing, when in reality, it was likely just a phase.

Ditto.
One word because I couldn't have written this better myself and I echo every word. I just had it in my head that Drew hadn't hit his stride until more recently but I've been quite taken aback by how much I'm enjoying the S39 eps.
-
I’m pleasantly surprised at his performance myself, and count me as one that misremembered it. His explanations back then were more concise, probably because he wasn’t as far removed from learning the dialogue of the games, whereas now that he’s played each game a thousand times he tends to explain every… possible… scenario, which really drags on.
I also didn’t realize he hadn’t settled in to asking every contestant to say hello at the wheel by this point. I wonder when that became cemented as a crutch habit for him. Another refreshing surprise not having a barrage of nouns with every SCSD.
Seeing Rich DiPirro trying new things has been fun to watch as well. Many of his contributions have stuck around to this day.
Oh, and I really miss Lanisha. I wish we could find out what happened there. :(
-
Speaking strictly for myself, rewatching some of the early Carey episodes it is clear in retrospect that it wasn't necessarily that I thought Drew was a poor host. It's just that his style was so very different from Bob, particularly with the formalities of the job. I think that probably offended me early on as a fan who is only one year younger than the show. Now the show is Drew's and his style feels very comfortable to me.
