lying or fibbing in any way. I really did have a phone conversation with Edd
Kalehoff, and was given this information. Also, someone on alt.tv.game-shows once said that he spoke with music coordinator Stanley Blits, and that Blits also insisted that Kalehoff wrote the theme. Furthermore, CBS' official page says: "Theme: "The Price Is Right Theme" by Edd Kalehoff for Score Productions", and there's only been one theme from the beginning up to today. However, it all comes back to what Kalehoff told me; though memories might be wrong (e.g., I think Cole does exist; Israel's wife IIRC), he made a pretty good case for his having done the theme. It didn't sound like just another disgruntled guy with an axe to grind... --Jeffrey Gray

including the TPIR theme. In addition, he says that "Sheila Cole" was a nonexistent front name used by Israel. In fact, he told me that his credit in the early episodes was given to him by Mark
Goodson, who felt sorry for the fact that Kalehoff had composed all of the music for the show and wasn't getting any of the credit. --Jeffrey Gray
716:"episodes pre-empted in their original East Coast CBS airings do not air on Prime. However, the network does try to get the pre-empted episodes directly from the producers, though there have been some cases in which the tapes they received were actually rough versions of the episodes that had not yet been edited into the final product."

In a conversation I had with Edd
Kalehoff over the phone, he told me that it was actually he who was responsible for the theme. According to Kalehoff, who was working for Score Productions at the time, Score Productions head Robert Israel took credit for every composition to come out of the company,

I've got a question about the pricing game section... one of the external links (GScentral) has a lot of the starting dates for pricing games... where exactly would I put those? Also, should the pricing games section be divided into retired and currently played games? It's already unwieldy as is,

No, not this time. I admit I used to pass speculation off as information, but I am long past that. The last time I was ever involved with the game show community was over 5 years ago, and I have matured a great deal since. I greatly regret the things I said back then. I will tell you that I am not

Why not? The shows were substantially different. The version hosted by Bill Cullen had more expensive prizes on offer in the bidding portion, as well as having the different bonus games. The current version is different, and both should have separate pages. When you say "I watched 'The Price is

I hadn't seen this request when I posted the optimal strategy, but I hope I did a decent job of hitting the high points. I did the full analysis and then looked through old Usenet threads and found an earlier example whose end results matched my own. --JMike, 17:02 ET, 13 Jan 2006

On a related noted, I hope to add historical facts (eg, "This is the first time that...") that Bob Barker himself sometimes points out during the show. It would be cool to have a list of those facts on

Does anyone know a link any where to a soundbaord or anything that contains sound effects from the show. I am look for that sound when someone gets a game wrong. If anyone know any links it would be much appreacted. I beleave its called the loosing horn
425:
According to multiple people on the newsgroup alt.tv.game-shows, there was a tie on the '70s nighttime run. We can't actually confirm it either way, since Bob's fur ban includes all of that run's episodes, but the general consensus is that it happened.
611:
Shouldn't we have two separate articles, one for the Cullen
Version and one for the Barker Version? We should say (1956 show) and (1972 show) for the different articles. Also, they should both link to the separate article somewhere in each of them.

According to everything I've ever heard from anyone who knows anything about this topic, the composer was Sheila Cole. In fact, this is the first time I've ever even heard "Price's theme" and "Bob Cobert" mentioned in the same discussion.

When ITV celebrated its 50th birthday not too long ago it revisited some of its earlier games shows, including Bruce's Price is Right. I wasn't sure where to add this information. Also, it was hosted by Ant and Dec.

You'll forgive me if I continue not to believe a word you say. If this were true, I would think someone a more solid reputation, such as one of the Mackey brothers, would have learned about it by now.

Is it about time we create an international version's article, explaining in more detail how they were/are played with detailed information on the more famous ones like, UK, Australia, Mexico.

I'm undoing Mr. Gray's edit, as well as any reverts to it that he might make in the future. He's well-known in the game show community for spouting "information" that is completely untrue.

Well, I'll get cracking on those tomorrow. I guess adding just a temporary list of which games are retired and which aren't wouldn't be a bad place to start on dividing them, would it?

Good God, PLEASE don't do that. Most of those "records" that Bob mentions are made up on the spot and are totally inaccurate.

Forgive my ignorance, but how would a ban on fur affect the ability to confirm it? Or is it a ban on episodes featuring fur?

Um...whatever. Kalehoff wrote music for
