I was on the Price is Right around 1980. It was the last half-hour night show with Bob Barker. I won 2 mopeds to get on stage, played the piggy bank game ( now any number game) won microwave stove oven, and lost in the showcase ( no wheel to spin at that time). My shirt said Bob's eyes make my blood rise. I'm hoping someone can give me the date and/or episode number so I can find and buy the tape. I was hoping the last half-hour night show around 1980 will pin it down. Thanks for any help.

The latest nighttime show with Any Number in the lineup is 299N (taped March 12, 1980, the same day as the actual "last episode"), so that should be your show number. Lineup from that episode is Grocery Game/Any Number/Most Expensive, that sound about right to you?

blozier2006 You are awesome, that is it. On YouTube is episode 300 March 12,1980 and we are in the audience so that confirms it since they taped 2 shows that day. Of course I couldn't find my episode 299N. Do you know how I would go about finding or buying it. Thank you for your help I really appreciate it.

Best I can say is e-mail "archive@fremantle.com"

You should also get a spinning star under your name.

I took the suggestion to email archive@fremantle.com on November 20,2018. I included the Price is Right date, episode number and that I was on that show and would like to purchase it. I never got a response. Does anyone know how long it takes for Fremantle to respond to emails or did I write anything wrong?

Update I finally got my episode 299N from Fremantle . Thanks again blozier2006 for your help.

I will but I’m not sure how to do it. Fremantle send me an email with a link to download it. Of course I did and watched it but not sure how to do it on this site.
-
If the process is the same process that I recently went through in obtaining my episode, that link would only be good for the next month or so. If you would be so inclined in sharing that link with me privately, I can share the episode with everyone.

I will. Tell me how to send the link to you. I’m not that tech savvy.

Hi Hoop,
Since you're continuing to interact in this thread, I have to ask - what happened from the 4 years when you sent your initial email to when your request was granted and you got the episode?
-
Flerbert419,
They never responded to my initial emails. April 2022 I emailed again and Fremantle responded immediately. They said they were so far behind with Covid but I was on file and it took this long. I sent the link to Thatgameshowguy . He was able to watch the episode and I’ll ask him to respond to this thread when he puts it on the site like her offered. Hope that answers your question.

What a fun episode! I am so happy we got to relive this memory with you. Thank you so much for sharing.
Also I'm not sure I've ever seen a Barker nighttime episode. First time I ever saw that unique overlay in lieu of the light border to start for sure. Just fun all around!

Since some people on another forum are watching this thread, and were curious about this, I'll ask... how much, if anything, did you have to pay to get your episode?
Also, I'm glad I was able to help you, and thanks again for sharing it with us!

blozier2006,
Yes I had to pay way too much for it

What a treat. It's hard to believe that given everything that's been unearthed in the last decade and more with rare footage, etc. that this is only the second episode of The Nighttime Price Is Right starring Bob Barker to have surfaced.
This was such a pleasure to watch. Breslow's directing was still very sharp and fast-paced, with touches of seeing the Turntable spin away at the end of games still present. I like how they still have, "this... can be yours if the price is right" tag at the end of each One Bid plug and added prizes such as the car wax, etc. tagged onto prize packages and offerings,. Probably the most enjoyable part of all, Barker's in fine form and not yet a curmudgeon. He seems happy to be there, or if he's not, he's doing a better job at hiding that.
Over the years I've grown more partial to the half-hour format. It feels like just the right amount of Price in an episode, whereas the Showcase Showdown really doesn't have anything to do with pricing. Where there's really nothing in this episode that seems unusual in any sense, I must admit I have more fondness for Frank Wayne's way of producing the show as opposed to what Jay Wolpert was doing around this time on the daytime version (for I seem to recall it being said at one point Frank was more in charge of the nighttime show as opposed to Jay who was running the daytime show). It's been my opinion for years that 1976-1982 were the best years of the show, and from seeing this episode compared to the later-80s clips that are in abundance now thanks to PlutoTV, it really confirms that.
I hope the day comes when the entire '70s syndie version will be unearthed and seen again.
