The Price is Right would have ended after Bob Barker retired back in 2007. Really don’t know when and if TV’s longest running game show is going to get cancelled if the execs at CBS Daytime doesn’t do something.
Mark says
The Price is Right should have been cancelled after Bob Barker’s retirement. Surprisingly even with Drew Carey aboard and all of the mucking up of TPIR’s format, the show continues to pull in a significant number of viewers. Go figure…..
As for the success of the current run of Let’s Make A Deal I’m totally baffled. The show is just dreadful. Awful. I saw one episode where the beloved Monty Hall made a guest appearance and he was a gem. That Brady fellow was a poor choice for a host as well as his sidekick. These days good hosts are virtually nonexistent. ☹️
Tran says
I find Let’s Make a Deal a much better show than The Price is Right. Mike Richards who’s the mastermind behind both shows is the most overrated TV producer in CBS Daytime history. Have a feeling that Bob Barker is a way better host than Drew Carey on TPIR and he always will be and George Gray who took over the announcing duties from Rich Fields who got FIRED after Season 38 ended is always two dimensional because of his facial expressions. All of a sudden Price is Right is turning into either a FREAK SHOW or a CONSPIRACY. Really hope that people should and always stop watching Price is Right for the rest of their lives and the only way TV’s longest running game show will be CANCELLED is that RATINGS should sink like the TITANIC.
Tran says
People doesn’t really matter whether or not who’s a better Price is Right host – Bob Barker or Drew Carey. In my opinion Barker is a way better than Carey. Drew Carey is the most overrated game show host I’ve ever seen and the entire show is also overrated because the host, models, George Gray the announcer and the whole crew including EP Mike Richards are a bunch of idiots. Still hasn’t been the same since Barker retired in 2007 and the execs at CBS Daytime would have second thoughts to end TV’s longest running game show despite of RATINGS. Can’t stand Drew Carey because of the two most annoying words that he needs to stop on every episode that is on and that is GOOD LUCK. Also the whole two model rotation needs to end as well because fans of the show are still very upset when more than one of them is on vacation and they haven’t done the three model rotation in a long time since Season 41 ended and George Gray needs to stop being a model than an announcer. Finally the contestants needs to be on their best behavior and stop acting all crazy even if they never watched Price is Right on a daily basis and never saw pricing games like Ten Chances which people are really bad at it because they haven’t seen it and the all important ZERO RULE which means that all three prizes including the car always ends with a zero and there’s a reason why players have been ignored and when they look at the crowd, they’re 100% helpless and a sign of BAD KARMA.
