time to bring back the old skinny microphone Bob Barker and Gene Rayburn used

Watched an old Price is Right, the first official hour-long episode, and they offer a refrigerator with an AM/FM Stereo *and* a tape deck built in

Can't get any more 70s than that.

Pricing games like Credit Card, Spelling Bee, and Pathfinder start showing up more frequently; Rod Roddy has been the permanent announcer for about two years now...
