Price Is Right After Bob Barker Retires? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

WalrusIsPaul · 01-24-2007, 12:21 PM

Does anyone think The Price Is Right will sink in the ratings when the new host takes over,who ever it is, and get canceled soon after? Or do you think it will still maintain the ratings?

I give it a yr and if viewership drops,i say it goes or they try a new host again

Price is such a money maker for Cbs, they have to try & keep it rolling & they are going to do just that. Will the ratings drop?? I think it is inevitable that they will, but the question is how much will they drop. The new Season of the price is right begins in mid september & i have it on good authority that the show will be up for review in early 08. Ratings, fan reaction, audience attendance will all be taken into consideration, but it is no lock that the next host or the show itself will make it thru season 36. I love the show, but thoughts of the price is right without Bob make me very very nervous.

The Ratings will sink because the Price is Right without Bob Barker is like NFL Countdown without CHRIS BERMAN

The ratings will no doubt go down, but they really have no place to go but down, if they get the right host in there, they may be able to keep it going. 3 more potential hosts are getting their tryouts today in studio 33.

I just don't know why CBS can't end the price is right and create a NEW GAME show since Bob barker was on the show so long. I can't look at the Price is Right with another host

I hear ya Solomon, as a big fan of the show I find it very hard to imagine life without BOB.

I remember the nighttime version of The Price Is Right in the early/mid 70's with Dennis James as host.

Also, when the morning show switched to an hour format, there was a very brief time where they used a much smaller wheel for the showcase showdown before they came up with the big wheel that's still in use today.

I guarantee the ratings will sink. I don't look for the show to get cancelled right away, but it probably will end up in that direction. CBS might give the new host at least 5 seasons (assuming ratings aren't deathly low) giving the show a memorable 40-year reign.

the same thing could have been said when the Barker era started without Bill Cullen

it'll obviously be tough at first, of course it will, but if they pick a decent host, I think they should be able to continue for at least a little while

I've seen a few episodes and clips of it and I love that version a lot. the only US version i seriously dont care for was the one hosted by Doug Davidson.

I agree, the right host would take the show forward. Another potential candidate will be testing at the end of the month, but I'd still like to see Rich get his shot

I love the Price is Right, but I doubt it will ever be the same without Bob Barker.
