I also wonder how many harvest gold kitchens were created as a direct result of prizes won on this show. I have yet to see any major appliance that is not this color on these first season episodes:
It sounds strange, but I actually like that color.
I understand Barker’s stance on animals, but is it really necessary to avoid old episodes that had fur prizes or meat?
It’s possible that Barker has some ownership and the right to approve or disapprove episodes.
In accordance with Barker’s animal-rights wishes, which remain in effect beyond his retirement, any episodes with fur coats as prizes cannot be aired or released onto home media formats. This includes the first three daytime shows recorded in 1972, plus most of the 1970s syndicated run.
