Looks like I have $40 I can put to better use. Maybe I'll buy some sheepskin boots for the cold Iowa winter.

Agreed, I don't think I'll be buying a DVD set of "The Ego is Right" anytime soon.

Shame, I was really looking forward to this for a while.

I'm personally waiting for the day when my kids are old enough to ask, "Who's that weird old guy on Drew's show?"

Shame I don't have the ability to capture video; I'd post every fur episode of TPIR I had on Youtube out of spite.

He'd probably sue you for that.

Hell, he'd probably sue the rest of us who have "verboten" episodes in our collections.

Not that this makes Barker look any better, but it seems doubtful that Barker has grudges against James, Kennedy, AND Davidson . . . except in the context of what seems to me like the real reason for exclusion: They're all Someone Else hosting The Bob Barker Show.

And I'm guessing the only reason he didn't veto Cullen (other than the obvious) is because he knows good and well the show existed long before 1972?

Robert Hutchinson · « **Reply #67 on:** January 15, 2008, 10:51:52 PM »

While I'm speculating wildly, I would say it's more a case of Cullen TPIR not sufficiently resembling TBBS.

The latest word from ClockGameJohn at G-R.net, after contacting BCI about the set, is:

Quote

I will confirm 4 Bill Cullen episodes in the set, the full last week of Bob's show in Season 35 (as we knew), and additionally the episodes will be from the 1972-1975 era. 26 total shows over 4 discs.

There also may be a "pot of gold" on one of the episodes.

Aside from the potential "pot of gold," then, that seems to indicate we're likely to be getting only pre-Dian episodes, plus Bob's last week and the Cullen episodes.

And what would that be? Seriously.

Perhaps he's teasing to the members that they're including the debut of Golden Road from one of the half hour shows where it got played last instead of first.

Y'know, I told him that's what everybody would think of when they read that.

(And no, that isn't it.)

(And no, I can't say what it is.)

Oh boy, more baseless speculation!

For him to tease it in Golden Road, I imagine it would have to be something really unusual and really special. The first thing that leaps to mind would be the Mark Goodson-Dennis James pitch film that collectors have been swapping for years. A too-good-to-be-true choice would be Bill Cullen's original pilot/test show. I have photos from it, but I've never heard whether it exists. Hey, how about a completely different Barker thing, like an episode of TorC, or even The Family Game or the Simon pilot?

Sorry, I'm getting carried away. I just can't believe that he'd be teasing an episode that merely has an unusual order of pricing games to be a "pot of gold".

You know, I would be jumping up and down to get a big mess o' early-seventies eps, but knowing that it's being done like that just to get back at a few models makes it a whole lot less fun.

And, again. The entire final week? Seriously.

Hm. At least that would make some fanb0is who would like to see the un-condensed closing credit crawls of those shows happy. Hehe.
