Let it be known that I watched The Price Is Right religiously from about birth through college, making me a genius when it comes to knowing the actual retail price of cans of peas and lovely dinette sets.
Today The Price Is Right celebrates its 40th anniversary.
Sure, today Drew Carey is hosting it, and this is a letdown from the days of Bob Barker getting his swerve on with his Barker's Beauties. Oh, 1970's misogynism...how you're so uncomfortably delightful and awkward to watch.
So here's the very first 1972 Bob Barker Price Is Right episode. Sure, it looks like a lovely rainbow or oranges and browns threw up on your computer screen, but that theme music at every turn will get your hips swiveling.

A sharp looking muskrat fur coat is the first item up for bids. (You can't make this stuff up. It's 1972.) Then, a competitor named Connie--rocking a sweet hairdo that channels all that is fabulous about bowling balls--plays for a Chevy Vega. In case you're wondering how gorgeous a Chevy Vega looks, imagine your lungs swollen with pneumonia and lacking oxygen for a week.
That's a Chevy Vega.
