The Price is Right is an American game show which has been entertaining audiences for half a century. The game itself involves contestants competing to win cash and prizes by guessing the price of merchandise. Each episode, players are brought on stage to compete on various games, ranging from spinning a wheel and choosing numbered doors to throwing balls into buckets or guessing which products cost more. The show was hosted by Bob Barker for many years before being taken over by Drew Carey and continues to capture the attention of audiences worldwide.

Episode 177 of season 1995 titled Show #2637, is a classic example of the show's format. The episode begins with announcer Rod Roddy introducing the audience to the contestants and then having them all participate in a bidding war to determine who will have the chance to proceed onto the stage and play in the first game.

One of the earliest games featured in the episode is "Five Price Tags," where the contestants must guess the price of five items in order to win a new car. The tension is high as each contestant guesses within seconds of one another, vying for the chance to win their dream prize. The contestants use their skills of price-guessing and general knowledge of everyday items to try and achieve the top prize.

The excitement only builds from there as the show features other iconic games such as "Plinko" and "Punch-A-Bunch." In "Plinko," the contestant who has won the chance to play must guess the price of four smaller prizes to earn the maximum amount of chips. These chips are then dropped one at a time down a large game board while the contestant and audience watch in anticipation, hoping for the chip to fall into one of the higher cash prize slots at the bottom of the screen.

In "Punch-A-Bunch," the contestant gets to punch their way through a series of paper targets positioned in a wall in order to win cash prizes. The wall has a few slots with special prizes which could include cars and vacations. The more punches that the contestant manages to land successfully, the higher the cash prizes become.

The show then transitions over to the showcase showdown where the two contestants with the highest amount of winnings move forward for a chance to win the top prize. The showcase showdown involves the players bidding on a showcase of items that they could potentially win if their bid is closest to the actual retail price. It is a nail-biting moment to watch as the players jostle back and forth, hoping to win the ultimate prize.
