Viewers were treated to an unusual camera angle of the studio audience at the beginning of today’s show. After making his final entrance through the Big Doors, Bob was showered by confetti from the audience. Speaking of Bob’s entrance, his very first entrance was displayed on the TV Set that was the first Item Up for Bids today. Denise, who was born 9 days after the very first show, was surprised to learn that the Lucky 7 prize is a Chevy Corvette. She could only miss the last number in the price by one dollar, but Denise made it through by saying “6”. Viewers in my area were unfortunate to lose the show’s audio during the appearance of the second Item Up for Bids due to the station’s weekly Emergency Alert System test (which frequently occurs during the show). We are lucky to have the 7 o’clock re-airing of the show. Bob asked the audience how many hours until Range Game can be restarted again. They all responded “37 hours” of course. Denise is $1000 richer thanks to the Big Wheel in Showcase Showdown #1, but a greater reward awaits her in the Showcase. Dean reminded Bob that Canadians still love him after all these years. Dean had the honor of pushing the Double Prices button for luck and was surprised that he made the right decision. Melva was clearly excited to meet Bob on his final show, as she was still shaking while playing the Grocery Game (with the return of the game’s sign). She was right to choose one Sleep Aid, but two of the Dial products put her total over $21.00. Philip, who waited outside Television City 5 days prior to today’s show, finally made it out of Contestant’s Row at the last possible moment. As the first game played on the first show to air, Any Number was played last under Bob’s watch. Philip became $7.31 richer with a piggy bank’s worth of money, which is not too bad. Today’s Showcase featured saints, a dentist’s waiting room, and two automobiles. Both bids were relatively close for such expensive Showcases, but top winner Denise leaves today’s show with prizes worth $140,235. The number was too big to be displayed on her Showcase podium. Bob signed off thanking viewers for allowing him to be with us for over 50 years and reminded us to help control the pet population. We end today’s show with Denise’s celebration and one last shot of Bob after receiving a hug from our announcer Rich. Good day and good luck!
