Today, the prizes would have a value of $30,031. This 2011 Showcase included a 22-item snack pack, picnic gear, a Little Guy retro travel trailer, and a Chevy Colorado truck, which was valued at $28,451. Before Barker handed the microphone off to Drew Carey, he gave away a Showcase that included a Firestone electric grill, a seven-day Greek island and Turkey cruise for two from Monarch Cruises, and a Cadillac XLR convertible. If you thought Bob BarkerвЂ™s 80th birthday episode was big, just wait until you see the Showcase featured on his final episode. The prizes were valued at $56,640 today, you'd pay $73,088. His birthday-themed Showcase included a Whirlpool kitchen set (for baking Bob a cake), a bar set, a 55-inch television (for watching Bob on TV), and a 2004 Cadillac DeVille.

It includes a (gigantic) JRC cell phone and adapter, a portable 5-inch television, and a portable stereo located inside the ShowcaseвЂ™s biggest prize, an Oldsmobile Aurora. This Showcase of portable items will make you super grateful for your iPad. This Showcase from 1991 included a вЂњdelightfulвЂќ new Black Forest musical cuckoo clock, a new bedroom set from Hooker Furniture, a Crown Crafts bedding set (complete with 200-thread count sheets), an Englander queen mattress set, and that promised Catalina spa and mahogany gazebo. In the 1990s, gazebos began to feature prominently in the Showcases. This 1988 вЂњbookendвЂќ Showcase (which basically just meant glum-looking Mary got two of everything) included two Litton microwave ovens, two Honda Fat Cat off-road bikes, and two jet skis, for a value of $14,572.

And it begs the question: Why didnвЂ™t more people own their own airplanes in 1984? 1988 It includes a living room set from Clayton Marcus, 40 square yards of carpeting from World Carpets, a Hoover vacuum cleaner, and-wait for it-a lightweight Eipper airplane. This Showcase from 1984 might just be my all-time favorite.

In 1981, a time capsule-themed Showcase (set to the Star Trek theme music) included a six-night trip for two to the Grand Canyon, a movie camera, projector, and screen from Hanimex, backpacking equipment for two from Peak1, and a brand new 1982 Jeep. YouвЂ™ve really gotta love these themed Showcases. In 1978, you could have the good fortune of taking home a Riverside bar set, a new living room set from Fame Furniture, 30 square yards of Laurelcrest carpet, and an Aeolian player piano-if the price is right! The prizes were valued at $5198 in 1978, which would cost you $18,929 today. This questionable 1975 Thanksgiving-themed Showcase includes a 10-pound Checkerboard Farms roasting turkey, a Litton microwave oven, a Maytag dishwasher, and aВ new Glasspar speed boat with a 55hp Johnson engine and Spartan trailer, worth $4911. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $8,066 in 2014. In this 1972 episode-the second since The Price is RightвЂ™s return to television-the first showcase consists of a set of six Westclox clocks (one for each room!) and a trip to see вЂњthe biggest clock of allвЂќ on a 15-day trip for two to London, Paris, and Rome from Beltz Travel. HereвЂ™s a look back at 11 Showcases-and approximately how much theyвЂ™d be worth today. It remains a staple in todayвЂ™s show although, youвЂ™ll notice, the prizes-and their values-have changed just a bit. When the Showcase roundВ first appeared in its current form in 1972, it instantly became a hit with audiences. An early iteration of the audience showcase included a pipe organ, cigarette box, Polaroid camera, and 1959 Ford convertible-oh, how the times have changed! Instead, the showcase (a seven-item prize pack) was for the home audience to bid on via mailed responses. Notably absent from this first run were the final Showcase rounds between the episodeвЂ™s top two contestants.

The original version, with Bill Cullen as host, was a slightly different beast from the show we know and love today. Running almost continuously since its debut on November 26, 1956-it was off the air from the original iterationвЂ™s final episode in 1965 until its resurrection (with Bob Barker as host) in 1972- The Price Is Right holds the honor of being North AmericaвЂ™s longest-running daytime game show.

Nearly 20 years before Bob Barker took the mic and Johnny Olson asked contestants to вЂњCome on down!,вЂќ The Price is Right premiered on NBC.
