I don't know if the title "THE NEW PRICE IS RIGHT" would work but wouldn't it make sense to change the title along with the new host? I think everything should be different, the new host should not come through TWO DOORS, and the name should be changes simply because we are entering a new era of the show so it's no need for it to be similar to the wa it was when BOB was the host. Anyone agree? Shouldn't the goal for CBS be to make you FORGET about the OLD PRICE IS RIGHT when watching the new one?

Wasn't there a time when it was called THE NEW PRICE IS RIGHT? For the night version they had a long time ago? I could've sworn I seen that title before.

There might have been but a NAME CHANGE would make so much sense

They didn't change the name of the tonight show, so they shouldn't do that to TPIR.

Your right Irene, when the show came back in 1972 for the 1st season it was referred to as the new price is right

They didn't change the name of the tonight show, so they shouldn't do that to TPIR.


Yes they did, It's called the Tonight Show with Jay Leno-lol So maybe the Price is Right can have the new host name in the Title

Your right Irene, when the show came back in 1972 for the 1st season it was referred to as the new price is right


So I guess that means we can expect a name change

I thought so. thank you for refreshing my memory.

To be honest with you I would not expect a whole lot of changes.

I thought so. thank you for refreshing my memory.


No problem Irene, I have a feeling it will still be referred to as the price is right but almost everything about season 36 is up in the air. Until the new host is named they can't do a thing. That will not happen until at the very earliest the middle of June.

That isn't the point! I agree with Brian-let's leave well-enough alone! There's nothing wrong with the show, so why the heck are we even discussing changing the show's title, anyway? It's a pointless notion!

Solomon is discussing changing the show, no one else is...LOL im telling you the show is not going to change all that much.

because the show will be entering a new decade soon with a NEW HOST, That's why. Why wouldn't CBS changed the show to FIT the style and personality of the New Host? That doesn't make sense?

If it ain't broke, why fix it?

Besides, the name would be too long if you add anything else to it.

It makes no sense at all! If the show isn't broken, we leave it alone! Maybe Brian can add some further insight on this rather pointless subject.

Precisely, Irene! Instead of wasting time stirring up anything about the show to accomodate Bob's eventual successor, it's better to leave well-enough alone. There's no point in changing anything about the show if there's nothing that needs to be changed.

It makes no sense at all! If the show isn't broken, we leave it alone! Maybe Brian can add some further insight on this rather pointless subject.


See u are missing the point Big Time, the change would not be for RATINGS, it would be to make the show as DIFFERENT AS POSSIBLE from the show Bob Hosted so we the viewers can see the NEW BEGINNING of a already GREAT SHOW. Dynomite, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE????

I'm not missing any points at all! You're not making any sense about this pointless subject. Maybe you need to listen to Irene and Brian, instead of wasting time stirring things up about the show. Your argument is senseless and pointless, so give it a rest!

look at my other thread entitled yet another price is right host audition, i just posted some interesting news

That's it, I'm going to the Toilet-lol

Yeah, I don't think a name change is necessary either.

I think a new name change wouldn't hurt. I really don't think its going to last that long without Bob anyway. Game Shows that are associated with one person don't usually have a long lifetime with another.

I agree-lol And it wouldn't hurt to change SOMETHING since someone new is taking over, why have the show the way it was for the New Guy when it was changed for Bob when he took over-lol

Hey friendsfan77, don't listen to Solomon-he's not making any sense at all. I agree with you as much as I agree with both Brian and Irene. There's nothing wrong with TPIR, and being that's the case, as Irene said, don't fix the show if it isn't broken, just leave well-enough alone. I don't know why Solomon is wasting our time stirring things up about TPIR when he fully knows there's nothing about the show that needs to be fixed, period. He's neither making any sense nor is he making any valid points. I'm almost inclined to ask Brian to lock this thread, because this senseless, pointless discussion isn't getting us anywhere. As for you, Solomon, give it a rest-you're not proving anything to us at all!

I don't want to forget the old price is right. We have to accustom ourselves to the fact that people don't work forever and they don't live forever. Bob wanted to leave and that was something we knew would occur eventually. I wanted to answer that question because I realized you asked that question and I didn't answer it.

Let me use an example. I loved The Tonight show with Johnny Carson. It was sad to see him leave. I had always enjoyed Jay Leno when he guest hosted. When he came on to make The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, I will admit it was kinda hard to watch and not miss Johnny. However, I love what Jay has done. He does a monologue just like Johnny did. He has his own band and they too are incorporated into the monologue at times just like Johnny did with Doc. There are similarities but Jay has made it his own show.

I think when the choice is made to find a new host for TPIR, it will be done with the upmost respect for the show and it will be someone who will bring in a new generation of fans to the show. There have been many changes on TPIR with the announcers and the girls, we got over it and we will get over the fact that Bob is gone.

Family Feud, Jeopardy, To Tell the Truth, What's My Line? &
Wheel of Fortune all changed hosts at one time or another and their names were not altered so I see no reason why it should happen now.

Exactly, Irene! TPIR will carry on with Bob Barker's eventual successor(hopefully Todd Newton). We'll be thankful for Bob's years hosting the show, but even as he retires, it will be in good hands, because the next host in line will host the show his way and have fun doing it without attempting to be Bob. After all, the host being himself happens to be the same kind of advice Bob Barker passed along to Wink Martindale(in 1972) and other game show hosts, back when Bob started on TPIR. Bob's advice works and other hosts really need to host their respective game shows in their own special way and not try to be someone else. His successor will know to just be himself and have fun hosting and entertaining the audience, if you know what I'm getting at.

In my opinion, a name change would only hurt the show more. But, I also thing the show will end soon after they get the new host.

I don't believe that will happen unless we abandon viewership of the show altogether, but nonetheless, we need to give the next host a chance.

Nobody never said anything about not giving the next host a chance, the question was would it better if SLIGHT changes were made to fit the new era

Its a dying breed. It's the only gameshow left of all the morning network gameshows and their used to be a bunch of them. Bob Barker was the one constant. I can't see a new host lasting more than a few years.

A name change is not a slight change.

A name change would only make sense if the game show or the format were changed. TPIR has had other hosts when it was a nighttime game show and nothing changed.

A name change would only be needed if there were a year mentioned in the title...such as Match Game 77. When the new year came along it was Match Game 78 and so on. When it was a night game it was Match Game PM.

The games will remain the same. Look at Family Fued. Same game, different hosts. Those contestants kissed the host (forgot his name, the one who died) and no one raised an eyebrow or made a fuss abt that being Richard Dawson's "thing".

The only "times that are changing" on TPIR is the host. Game shows have changed hosts before, this is nothing new.

This is basically why I feel a name change is not needed. Not to mention the fact that the show has been such a mainstay. It could make some viewers think that the show is radically more different than it is. They shouldn't change a thing else except get a new competent host, IMO. At least not now. That will just alienate folks. And like Irene said, the format isn't being altered.

Oh, you're just mad because I don't agree with you.

I disagree with something said in this thread. This show is a classic gameshow that another host will not hurt it. As long as this host is not outright rude to the dumb contestants and doesn't try to be a Bob Barker copycat, the show will be fine. Why do you watch TPIR?

Not Necessarily changing, just Tweaking

It's not even worth talking about if all we're going to do is criticize someone's opinion. I think the new host won't last more than 3 years at most. The show is getting old. I know the only reason I watched was to see Bob Barker, and I'm not the only one. JUmping into the new era of telelvision, the show will probably be cancelled soon. They're probably going to make a new set, get new music and everything, and that will hurt the show and viewership. Plus, eeveryone's going to turn over to The View to see Hasselbeck argue with someone else (isn't that sad!)

I agree with you. Its sad but probably true. Most of the people I know that watch it , do it because of Bob. I asked my Dad who watches it quite regularly if he'll still watch it after Bob leaves and he says he won't. About the only game show I liked after the original host left was Family Feud and that was when Ray Combs hosted it but since he left I haven't bothered,. They go from host to host now with each one worst than the last.

It's a true classic. You've hit the nail on the head as far as the next host avoiding being Bob Barker's copycat. The next host should just be himself, have fun hosting the show, make the show all his own, do what he does best as far as entertaining the contestants is concerned and basically, host the show his way. TPIR will do just fine with Bob Barker's successor, just as long as he hosts the show by just being himself. This doesn't exactly sound simple, but if you're going to succeed in the game show industry, just be yourself-that's the way it is. Think about Jay Leno when he succeeded Johnny Carson-he's made The Tonight Show all his own. The Price is Right's next host should follow that example and make that show all his own. BTW, I don't care about The View, so I prefer not to watch that show.

If Ashton Kutcher somehow gets involved I will cry.
Meredith Viera dont even think about it....
That would be one of the worst days in television history!

Meredith Viera wouldn't have time to handle three shows at once-she's busy with both NBC's Today and Who Wants to be a Millionaire? As for Ashton Kutcher, he's likely going into feature films.
