I'll thank you not to put words in my mouth.

Correct -- you don't hate everything about TPIR. Just the host, the announcer, the producer, the set, the audience, and the game. Which also just happens to be the list of what you hate about pretty much every other game show ever made.

Could they have unearthed a color Cullen episode?

You proclaim Bill Cullen as fair to middling, then get standoff-ish when there's a line of people to disagree with you. You complain about, well, everything pertaining to game shows, like David said, and then expect people to lend an ear when you want to complain again.

Would you welcome in a dog that you knew wasn't house trained? It's the same thing. Your reputation precedes you, and no one takes you seriously anymore. Lay off the Statler and Waldorf act for a while, or at least put some meat behind your positions as opposed to a Jay Sherman-ish "It stinks!", and you might get someone to pay you attention.

At least that's a reasonable hatred.

I forgot the contestant coordinator, the set designer and the pages too. Mea culpa.

In the same vein, I hereby apologize for having previously stated that Jeremy Soria hates the entire free world. I neglected to mention that he hates everyone living under dictatorships and in slavery as well.

TPIR doesn't have a contestant coordinator, but let's not forget the technical director, the lighting director, the audio mixer and the guys from CBS Electronics, lest they feel left out.

Then what is Stan's title when he's interviewing all the people in line? I thought he was the "coordinator'...

chris319 · « **Reply #114 on:** January 23, 2008, 06:46:21 PM »

Stan is one of three co-producers. Ultimately on any of the old-school G-T shows, the producer picked the contestants.

dzinkin · « **Reply #115 on:** January 23, 2008, 06:50:40 PM »

From CBS.com (emphasis mine)... "[Stan Blits] is the co-producer, music director, contestant coordinator, and staff writer."

So, no, they don't have a separate person acting in that capacity, but he is called that.

I just wanted to bring attention to the fact that this set is scheduled to come out 3/25/08, in ten days. From an earlier Golden Road post, we know that these discs will contain...

[quote name=\'Golden-Road.net\']
Disc 1 - 4 half hour Bill Cullen episodes, and 3 half hour episodes from the first week of The New Price is Right with Bob Barker.
Disc 2 - 7 half hour episodes from 1972 and 1973.
Disc 3 - 3 half hour episodes from 1974, 1 hour long show from the Third Anniversary Week, 2 more half hour episodes from 1975, and the first permanent hour long show.
Disc 4 - The final 5 episodes from 2007 hosted by Bob Barker.[/quote]
Has there been any specific information released, such as airdates and whatnot?

jmangin · « **Reply #117 on:** March 14, 2008, 09:41:40 AM »

Is there any way I could just purchase discs 1, 2 and 3? haha

I don't have the DVD right now because it's still in processing, but here's what I know:

Disc 1: BC-3/10/57, 1/13/60, 1/27/60, 9/4/64
Disc 1: 8/21/72 (#12), 8/26/72 (#13), 8/21/72 (#15) [third date probably in error]
Disc 2: 9/3/72 (#25), 9/17/72 (#44), 6/17/73 (#455), 6/17/73 (#462), 8/27/73 (#573), 9/23/73 (#612), 12/10/73 (#701)
Disc 3: 3/11/74 (#861), 6/17/74 (#972), 8/5/74 (#1024), 8/31/75 (#1585), 10/11/75 (#1651), 10/12/75 (#1652), 10/20/75 (#1661)
Disc 4: Last 5 (#4031-#4035)

I'm pretty sure the dates are tape dates and not air dates, with the exception of the Bill episodes.

Let me ask the fans what the numbering means. I'd assume based on Disc One that the last digit is the episode number for that week, and the earlier nunber(s) represents the week of production. So the last episode on Disc Thre, for example, would more logically be written #166-1. That would mean we're getting the Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday show for the premiere week. But the final week on Disc Four must represent some slightly different numbering pattern, because surely there have been more than 403 original weeks of TPIR produced.
