Show #0013D -- the REAL third episode

[SteveGavazzi]

I got permission yesterday to post the recaps of the early programs that I've been given, and I figured a good one to start with would be a show that no one's ever seen before -- the real episode 3, #0013D. This probably isn't completely accurate, especially with regard to the order of Contestants' Row, because we know from episodes rerun on GSN that CBS Programming Practices's papers do contain mistakes; that said, this is still a whole lot better than nothing. To take a line from Joe...34 years late, let's make it happen!

SWEETNESS!

Really this just seems like a run of the mill episode of early Price.  But I guess that's a good thing since it never got aired!

("Early Recaps"?  You're really going to give me a workout with the catalog...and it's barely even started!)

[OldPrice75]

Wow, the second Price is Right.

Interestingly, show #5 used the two same prices for Double Prices.

[tpirfan1972]

I am curious,can someone explain the circumstances behind the ineligibility of the contestant Lya?

TIA for any research done,

Jerry Butler

It has recently come to light that there is an episode of the CBS daytime show from 1972 that has never been aired.[citation needed] After the program's third episode was taped, it was discovered that one of the contestants was ineligible because she was related to one of the cameramen at that time; ...

Accoridng to what I've read, either on here or Wikipedia, I do not remember, the contestant was ineligible for being related to a CBS staffer.

EDIT: It is on Wikipedia.

[SteveGavazzi]

No, it's here.  Any information about this episode found on Wikipedia was jacked from this site (or put there by me after I added it here).

You know, this was the only perfect show of week one. Too bad it wasn't aired.

[titantoa4]

Since there was an ineligible contestant on that episode, anyone here know if that meant that the ones who were eligible didn't receive their prizes since the episode was never aired?

[goldroadfanatic]

Actually, the eligible contestants did receive their prizes.

So... is this episode is "in the vaults" somewhere with the rest of the Fur shows? Or was it destroyed.

And forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere.

I'm not really sure.  I tried to find out a few years ago, but no one I asked could remember for certain.
