Will they ever show them again?

It they show any repeats, it will most likely be on The Game Show Channel and it will probably depend on how much (and if) they have to pay to Barker and all the models royalties.

Too much behind-the-scenes B.S. on this issue...
CBS owns the rights to the Bob Barker TPIR episodes (the original Bill Cullen version from the late 1950s is still owned by FremantleMedia North America,the successor company to Mark Goodson [-Bill Todman] Productions).
Add to this the dictates Barker put on GSN when they reran old episodes in the mid-1990s (no episodes with fur coats as prizes or meat products in the Grocery Game could be shown) and CBS' unwillingness to lease old TPIR episodes for reruns make any rerunning of the 1971-2007 Bob Barker era episodes a no-go.
