Movie Reviews of The Best of The Price is Right

Movie Review: A Best Of? Perhaps Not, But Worth Every Penny For These 26 Gems
Summary: 5 Stars

Firstly, I'd like to agree with previous reviews that this isn't really a "Best Of" compilation, but I think much of the criticism is overly harsh, with some reviewers giving this a one star rating. My guess is that the title, "Best of Price is Right," was chosen for lack of a better name. The episodes do seem to be fairly random, and while I'm not sure the reason for this, I doubt "Random Episodes of the Price is Right's Early Years" would have had a nice ring to it. I also doubt we could all agree on which episodes are the "best", so pleasing everyone would be impossible.

However, what you do get is worth every penny:

The first disc contains mostly episodes from the original 1950s series (i.e. pre-Bob Barker days), and while I didn't expect much going in, I have to admit these early episodes have a certain charm. They also provide a good comparison / contrast to the more familiar series we all know and love.

The second and third discs contain episodes from 1972 (the first season) to 1975. It would have been nice to have the very first episode included in this set, but you get a good sampling, none the less. It's interesting to see the very early episodes where many of the seats were empty and mistakes and malfunctions in the equipment are common. As time progressed, audience attendance increased and new games are added... and some games (like the unwinnable bullseye game) are dropped.

The fourth disc contains episodes from Bob Barker's final week on the show. I haven't watched this disc yet, but I'm looking forward to it since I missed these when they originally aired.

Having grown up watching TPIR (since the early 1980s anyway), I'm excited to be able to own ANY of the early episodes in a long-lasting, high-quality format. Until now, the only way I could relive some of the early material was via low-quality chopped-up scenes featured on YouTube.

I sincerly hope this won't be the last of these sets. I would LOVE to see more episodes from the 1970s and early 1980s! Sadly, I have a feeling there are no plans in the works to do this.

PS. It's great to look back at the products and prizes on the show and know in those days they were all MADE IN AMERICA!!!
