Line 48:
** The Dennis James version, partly due to offering a ''lot'' of furs, hasn't been seen very much since 1977 minus three prominent examples <ref>(a pair of brief clips in ''Game Show Moments Gone Bananas'' {circa 1974 where Dennis trips on the Turntable; circa 1976 with a problematic Clock Game player}, a daytime episode where he subbed for Barker {December 25, 1974; aired twice by [[GSN]] in 1997}, and a Lucky Seven playing shown during the 1979 Peter Falk film ''The In-Laws'' {which leads to a discussion between the leads about ''Price''})</ref>. Only five episodes (including the pitchfilm) circulate, and approximately 30 episodes from 1973-75 were recorded onto audio cassette (heard [http://j-shea.com/TPIR/nighttime/index.html here] and [http://j-shea.com/TPIR/cues/index.html here]).
*** The last four minutes of an early-1976 show [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j8hQRqV1_A surfaced] in July 2011, which a voiceover at the end clearly marks as being recorded from a local station...but the same episode was ''also'' used in an official '76 promo reel. '''What the hell are the odds?!'''
* [[Lying Creator]]: When Rod mysteriously stopped appearing on-camera in Season 31, some fans assumed that it owed to Rod's declining health, while [[Fremantle Media]] claimed that they had implemented a policy to keep all their game show announcers from being seen. However, this claim was promptly debunked when several substitutes appeared on-camera and Rich himself did the same...and in Season 37, Rich started getting as much face time as Rod did in the early days. It was further debunked in [https://web.archive.org/web/20120301065627/http://retroalitytv.blogspot.com/2009/10/remembering-rod-roddy-live-out-loud.html an interview] given by Holly Halstrom, who remained friends with Rod even after she left the show — the ''real'' reason Rod stopped appearing on-camera was because of arguments over salary between him and Bob.
* [[Milestone Celebration]]: Every ''x'',000th episode features tons of big prizes and special decorations.
** The show celebrated its 25th, 30th and 35th Anniversaries with a primetime special. The first (#0001S) used the half-hour format, with the other half filled with clips; the second (#0001LV) was filmed in Las Vegas, using the regular format; the third (#023SP) also celebrated Barker's 50 years in show business, with a similar format as the 25th-Anniversary Special and a cameo by Adam Sandler.
