Barker TPIR coming to Pluto TV 12/1/20 (Confirmed)
Mr. Armadillo:
For all of our retroactive sanity, I'm just going to pretend that he would have changed his bid to $481 instead of $581.
jlgarfield:
Holy smokes. Look at how much this dude won. That one-day high (for a CBS game show) won't stand for long, as some ice cream truck driver obliterates it a month down the road......

Right now, the channel is airing all 335 episodes that they've converted so far in chronological order (from September 13, 1982-April 23, 1984), taking about 2 weeks to get through each cycle.

If they're correct in their presumptions, I believe new episodes would start 10/4 at 9AM ET.
Kevin Prather:
I recall in the Big Bucks documentary, Peter Tomarken mentioned that prior to Michael Larsen, CBS daytime contestant's grand totals "never, and I mean never, went over $40,000." I figured that was just as a general rule, not that the actual record was right at $39,000 and change. Nice precise research on their part, I suppose.
TLEberle:
I think that goes more to the fact that no show save for $25,000 Pyramid would let people get close. If you’re on Double Dare and have $19,750 your next swing at the spoilers puts you over the $20,000 limit, ditto with Match Game even if you spin double. Other than hitting a trifecta on TPIR of a huge prize in your stage game, getting paid at the wheel and the both showcases it wasn’t an issue until the mid-80s, and then just PYL and Card Sharks.
