- February 8, 1983
The Price is Right season 1983 episode 27, which aired on Tue, Feb 8, 1983, is yet another exciting installment of the long-running game show. Hosted by the legendary Bob Barker, the show features four contestants who compete in a series of games and challenges for the chance to win cash prizes and other exciting items.
The episode kicks off with the classic game "Lucky Seven," in which the contestants must correctly guess the prices of various items to avoid losing too many of their seven initial dollars. Next up is "One Away," a game in which the contestants must guess the correct prices of four different prizes by adjusting each digit in the price one digit up or down.
In "Range Game," the contestants must guess the price of a prize that falls within a certain range. The closer they get to the actual price without going over, the more money they can win. "Lingo" is another popular game that tests the contestants' knowledge of prices and numbers. They must correctly guess the prices of various prizes and then use the digits in those prices to spell out a six-letter word.
One of the highlights of this episode is "Credit Card," a game that challenges the contestants to choose four items that add up to a total of $1,000 or less without going over. They are given a credit card with a limit of $1,000 and must use it to purchase the items they want. If they choose items that cost more than $1,000, they lose the game.
Another fan favorite is "Plinko," in which the contestants drop a small disc down a vertical board with a series of pegs. The disc bounces off the pegs and lands in one of several slots at the bottom of the board, each with a different cash prize. In this episode, the contestants have the chance to win up to $25,000 in Plinko.
Of course, no episode of The Price is Right would be complete without the iconic "Showcase Showdown." The three contestants who have won the most cash and prizes throughout the show spin a giant wheel to determine who will move on to the final round. The winner of the Showcase Showdown then has the chance to bid on a showcase of prizes, with the closest bid without going over winning all of the items.
Overall, The Price is Right season 1983 episode 27 is a thrilling and entertaining installment of the popular game show. With a mix of classic and new games, hilarious banter from Bob Barker, and exciting prizes, it's easy to see why The Price is Right has remained a beloved part of American television for over 50 years.
