The Price Is Right (called "The New Price Is Right" during its first season) is an American game show that was created by Mark Goodson and Bill Todman that premiered on CBS on September 4th, 1972, and is loosely based on another game show of the same name that Bob Stewart created in 1956. The show was hosted by Bob Barker, who was known for hosting Truth Or Consequences until his retirement in June 2007 and has been hosted by comedian Drew Carey ever since, with various announcers coming and going since the show's debut. The show centers around contestants (picked out of the studio audience) identifying the exact merchandise pricing to win cash and prizes. The show became a rating success for CBS, with the show still airing as of 2022, with over 9,000 episodes being produced.
The show is also known for having most of its episodes (especially during the 1970s) saved by CBS and Goodson and Todman (later bought by Fremantle). Most of these episodes have been heavily rerun in the 1990s on Game Show Network, and just recently, Pluto TV began rerunning Barker's tenure on its own 24/7 channel entitled "The Price Is Right: The Barker Era" and continues rerunning them to this day[1]. However, several episodes have never been seen since their original airdate or, to a lesser extent, never aired, and very little information on these episodes is documented.

Availability
Episodes of Barker's tenure have been rerun on Game Show Network from the channel's launch in 1994 to 2000 when their contract expired and wasn't renewed. Before 2020, older episodes from Barker's tenure were notoriously hard to find due to most of the show's first ten seasons included fur coats as prizes (which Barker, an animal rights activist since the early 1980s[10], hated) and only home recordings of either the original airings or reruns from Game Show Network. The show is also absent from Buzzr (a game show-centric channel created by the current rights holders Fremantle), while the reason being "it currently remains exclusive to Fremantle's broadcast partner" being CBS[11].
On November 30th, 2020, Pluto TV and Fremantle announced a 24/7 channel centred around reruns of Barker's tenure entitled "The Price Is Right: The Barker Era"[12] (which launched a day later). However, reruns of his tenure started with episodes starting in the show's 11th season (which premiered on September 13th, 1982). Pluto TV has also skipped specific episodes in seasons that aired on the channel. The exact reasons for the skipped episodes are unknown despite being aired on Game Show Network. Rumors on some episode's absences range from some content being seen in poor taste to the master tape being too damaged and thus deemed unwatchable, but it is unconfirmed. Specific details on various episodes remain unknown today, with even episode guides having very little documented information.
