I always wondered what the percentage of gifts were defaulted on due to taxes. Outside vacations and cars, I remember the items being useless junk to 12 yr old me.

I always wondered 1) why a seemingly popular show was mostly giving people a chance to win garbage prizes and 2) why the prizes were so repetitive. Did Bob Barker’s uncle own a furniture shop and do a weekly surplus drop at the PIR warehouse? Someone connected to the show owned a car lot specializing in cars under $20k.

It was the reality TV of the 60's and 70's, nobody cared what the prizes were so much as seeing ordinary average people get to be on TV and experience the emotion of winning and losing. Besides, the stay-at-home milfs needed something to watch before their soaps came on.

When Danielle (in her wheelchair) wins a treadmill is probably the worst PIR moment.

I remember Funhouse too!
And I agree, Williams machines were always the ones I gravitated to, now that you mentioned that.

I thought the treadmill was the most awkward...the YouTube link right below that clip was tougher to watch for me
