Growing up in northeast Missouri, yours truly heard those three words frequently over the television airwaves during every sick day or holiday break.

Whether I was at home sick or watching with my late grandmother Fern Johnson in Palmyra, Mo., The Price is Right was must-see television during the daytime on CBS with the late Bob Barker hosting it from 1972 until 2007 when he retired.

Barker did make occasional appearances from 2009-2015 with current host Drew Carey using the traditional long microphone.

While most may not think of game shows as a sport, some contestants turn it into one trying to memorize prices of grocery items, furniture, trips and automobiles.

Prior to my grandmother passing away from cancer in 1992, we would watch The Price is Right in her living room before she watched her favorite soap opera in The Young and The Restless.

Today, fans of The Price is Right have options whether they want to continue watching Drew Carey’s version today or relive Bob Barker’s time as host on The Price is Right: The Barker Era on most streaming services such as Roku and PlutoTV.

If I was not able to watch Mr. Barker live, I was fortunate to have a video cassette recorder (VCR) that I could use to tape The Price is Right at my home growing up on a farm north on Canton, Mo.

If Mr. Barker were still alive, he would have celebrated his 100th birthday yesterday (Tuesday).
