The Price Is Right (referred to as "The New Price Is Right") was a short-lived syndicated game show based on the CBS game show of the same name that ran from September 12, 1994 to January 27, 1995. It was a half-hour version of the hour long CBS version and was the third syndicated incarnation of the show. The show was hosted by actor Doug Davidson (who was known for The Young and The Restless)[1] and announced by Burton Richardson (who would voice the CBS version on several occasions between 2001 and 2006). While this version of the show was short-lived, it would go on to have a cult following and receive praise for fans of the CBS version for being different than the CBS version. Because of the show being short-lived, many of its 80 episodes have become very hard to find.
Format
The format for the show is a spin on the format from the CBS version, one contestant is called up on stage to play a pricing game. This happens two more times before the showcase showdown. The three contestants play "The Price WAS Right" as part of the showcase showdown where all them must bid on an item from a commercial from 40 years prior based on what the price was at the time the commercial aired. The contestant with the closest bid will go on to play the showcase. In some episodes, this was changed to the big wheel. The winning contestant gets shown a showcase and after being shown the showcase, they must stop a $10,000 range going up a chart of amounts ranging from $10,000 to $70,000. If the price of the showcase shows up in the range, the contestant wins the showcase

Unknown Episodes
Cancelation
The show was filmed in Summer 1994 after being announced by the show's syndicator Paramount Domestic Television at the NATPE convention that January and was sold in 78 markets[3]. Three months into the show's run, the show was dropped by various markets due to low ratings despite being paired with another Goodson-Todman game show Family Feud. On December 15th, Paramount announced that the show would not be renewed for a second season with the low ratings being citied as the cause for the show's non-renewal. The markets that still carried the show ended up moving the show from an early afternoon timeslot to overnight timeslots and some didn't air the show at all to make way for news coverage of the murder trial of former football player O.J. Simpson. Production on the show officially ceased on January 23, 1995[4] and the final episode aired on January 27th.
Availability
The show has not been reran on Game Show Network (unlike the CBS version and the previous Syndicated version). This maybe down to Fremantle (The Price Is Right's current owner) not fully owning this version as it was mostly produced by the syndicator Paramount Domestic Television and the version's current owner is CBS Media Ventures[5][6]. Many of the show's episodes have resurfaced online thanks to home recordings of the episode's original airings and uploads of the episode's master tapes. The rest of the series remains lost to this day.
