Mark Goodson and Bill Todman wanted to revive the original version of The Price is Right, but were met with resistance, being told it was too stale and bland for 1970s daytime television. At the same time, they saw how successful Let's Make a Deal (1963) was with Monty Hall and wanted to create their own version of an audience participation show, but couldn't figure out a concept. When CBS bought on B. Donald Grant to oversee daytime programming, he was interested in reviving game shows, which CBS removed from their daytime lineup in the mid 1960s. He talked to Goodson & Todman about a new version of The Price is Right, one that was more current and fresh. Eventually, they combined the original concept of bidding on merchandise from The Price is Right with concepts from Let's Make a Deal (1963), including pulling contestants from the audience, playing a variety of games on stage, and presenting the prizes with bright lights and loud sound effects. Bud liked the idea and added the new show, along with Gambit and The Joker's Wild, to his new lineup of game shows, which premiered on September 4th, 1972.
