Poll Question, Should the Price is Right be OVER completely once Bob Barker retires? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I just can't picture watching the price is right with another host, I think the show should go along with him. It's only right, who agrees?

yes the show should go with him the owners producers and cbs can talk all they want about how the show is the thing and in the eraly years that might have been true but now it is basically the bob barker show and anybody how tries to follow bob has too big of shoes to fill so i say let it go for a few years and then try to bring it back once a new generation of fans grows up and they can grow up with there own host just like we did with bob barker .but for now i know for me it will be too hard to watch it with someone else .and when you think about it will be the price is right in name only

Yeah maybe for someone who is born after 2007 it would work for but not me-lol

It would be hard to watch the Price Is Right without Bob. He's the last of the classic game show hosts that I grew up with that still is active. They tried to revive Match Game and the Newlywed Game without Gene Rayburn and Bob Ewbanks and they were unsuccessful. They'll probably be unsuccessful here too.

Bob Barker IS the Price is Right. If he goes, the show should go.

I have no problem with another host. The problem is, finding the right host. I have seen TPIR with many different hosts...I guess I have been accustomed to seeing many fill that hosting gig, so I have no problem with someone else coming along. I loved Tom Kennedy and Dennis James when they hosted the nighttime version. I would love to see Tom come back for this gig. I will however say, I didn't care for Ricki Lake hosting TPIR when they had that celeb contestant show on a while back.

The show will go on, the show is a ratings machine for cbs & big time advertising dollars come with the hour that the show is on. The show will go on, but for how long, only time will tell. Bob is the best & the show will never ever be the same. That is the understatement of the night.

not the actual show, but on that game show marathon they did over the summer on cbs, she hosted all the old game shows & they had all the props & rich fields the announcer was the actual announcer for the marathon as well & let me tell you, it made me want to vomit. I felt like I was watching a New York giants game

As long as they pick someone good, then that's fine with me to continue.

As long as it isn't ryan seacrest

The show must go on. I hope the new host should be Kelly Ripa or William Shatner.

I LOVE that guy but I dont think he is TPIR caliber at all. And plus, besides Idol, he's got other jobs (KIIS-FM, top-40, etc.), so he'd be too busy anyways.

I'm sorry, but for me, heck to the no. To both of those suggestions.

CBS and Fremantle have made it clear, the show will NOT be ending when Bob leaves, just so everyone knows.
