Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!
I was wondering that too. Plus the Barker version premiered in color as The New Price is Right in 1972. It's 2 different shows. Did the older version convert to color before it went off the air?

Nope. The original Price Is Right had two timeslots, one in the daytime, and one in prime time. Daytime was B&W and started in 1956. It started airing additional episodes in prime time in 1957.

Hmm the primetime one wasn't in black and white before it was in color though.

I'm going to the gym now. If I make a comment in this thread in the next 45 minutes, it means I'm at the computer at the gym. Dock me 100 points if that happens.

It looks like the primetime one started in color, then went to black and white after it moved to ABC. It went the opposite way as was asked in the question.

I guess it boils down to this:
If the daytime and primetime are counted as one series, it is correct. If they are separate series, then it is incorrect.

No, because it was the same show in two different slots, and didn't begin airing in the prime time slot until a year after it started.
