The Price Is Right is an American television game show where contestants compete by guessing the prices of merchandise to win cash and prizes. A 1972 revival by Mark Goodson and Bill Todman of their 1956–1965 show of the same name, the new version added many distinctive gameplay elements.
Various other versions of The Price Is Right have aired over the course of American television history, including a daily syndicated version hosted by Tom Kennedy in 1985 and a radically altered version hosted by Doug Davidson in 1994; the latter was notable for eliminating the central conceit from the original series of bidding on prizes.
The original version of The Price Is Right was first broadcast on NBC, and later ABC, from 1956 to 1965.Hosted by Bill Cullen, it involved four contestants bidding on a wide array of merchandise prizes with retail prices ranging from a few dollars (in many cases, "bonus" prizes were given to the winner afterward) to thousands.
Later episodes of The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular in 2008 featured rule changes to some pricing games which awarded a $1 million bonus to the contestant for achieving specific goals. One game in each episode was designated as the "million dollar game" and required contestants to accomplish a specific outcome to win the bonus.
