The Price Is Right
« on: March 01, 2008, 08:15:21 PM »
Anyone a fan of this show? I'm a heavy watcher of this show even though IMO, the Bob Barker hosted shows were best.

No one i know likes the Drew Carey hosted episodes so far. I'll miss Barker. But he really was showing his age no offense

Bob Barker is a legend. Legends are irreplaceable.

1972 (Before they removed the fur coat prize) To 2007

They removed the Fur Coat due to the fact he went to Stop Animal Abuse

Bulk reply:

They're not gonna stop airing TPIR anytime soon...it pulled 8mil viewers last Friday for a primetime special...and that was with ACC and SEC markets selectively airing it due to tournaments.

Agreed with the legends being irreplaceable.  Three names and games jump to mind...

 - Allen Ludden with Password.  He died during the run of Password Plus in 1980, replaced with Tom Kennedy, then Bert Convy with Super Password.  Never was quite the same.
 - Gene Rayburn with Match Game.  Both revivals without him (in 1990 and 1998) failed.
 - Peter Marshall with Hollywood Squares.  Two revivals in 1986 & 1998...only really the '98 one with Tom Bergeron cought on.

Games...remember, Bob hosted 102 games over 35 yrs (some are retired and not currently played).  Drew's hosted 72 of 73 in the rotation...in ~six months.  Major props for that.

Furs were gone by the mid-80s for sure...probably earlier.  I really want to say 1981 (when his mom and wife both died).
