This is too, too cool!! My husband and I both loved TPIR with Bob Barker :-)
My favorite games were Plinko and the Cliffhanger game. I can still hear the yodeling theme in my head, lol.

My favorite Price of Right game is the one where they do the prices of the grocery items. So fun!

Plinko is my favorite. Gosh, my mom loved The Price Is Right, now both my kids are watchers when they have the time.
Great Giveaway - thanks Karen!
I loved the grocery pricing game. That was one I could try to do as well, not like plinco or some of the others. Have watched Bob Barker for many years and always thought he was a great man. His love of animals is also close to my heart.

Hole in One or the Dice Game are a couple I liked to watch. Haven't seen the show in years though. pvilletoygirl at -g m a i l-dot-com
I was raised on TPIR and love Bob Barker. I was sad to see him retire but honestly glad he has taken time for himself as he deserved it! What a fun show and for anyone who never saw him host, you missed a treat...and were you on MARS? How could you miss it? This is a joy to read....good luck to all on this really quick one week giveaway!
I just love TPIR. I always liked Bob Barker, but it's fun with Drew Carey now also.
My favorite game is BLINKO.
I am also a follower.

I love PLINKO!. Have your pets spayed or neutered.
I love the grocery matching price game. It was the only one I could probably do. I have watched this show for over 30 years.
I liked the one where you had a limited amount of time to place price tags on different items and you won the item(s)that you priced right.
Plinko has always been my favorite game.

I love the Cliffhanger game. I can hear the song it my head. I also like the grocery pricing game. I could usually do pretty well at that one.
I also follow. :)
Goodness.. Plinko came to my mind first also..
I also like the game with the Hiker Guy going steadily up the hill, every time you got something wrong he went up higher and higher, and if he fell off the hill then you lost.
I have no idea what it is called. Barker is an icon, & I loved watching his show. It was probably the first game show I ever watched!

Never been a big follower of the game, but who can not know Bob Barker? Since May is memoir month I wanted to throw in a recommendation for a memoir that, while of the older babyboomer era, is really for everyone. "Cornfield Heiress" follows the coming of age of the author in the '60s.It's sexy, funny, nostalgic, descriptive and well-written. Great fun to read. You can think back to those long ago (and long-gone, I think)-- days lying in the grass catching butterflies. Times were simpler -- but then of course, the author's life gets more complicated, naturally.
Wow! I didn't know he had a book out. Its about time. I FOLLOW My fav game from the price is right is BLINGO or maybe its Plinko. thanks jacquecurl1@gmail.com
