TPIR: To Be Canceled? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The Great One · 12-17-2008, 04:16 PM

Hey mriggles! Is it true? I've heard comments being made by reliable insider sources that CBS plans on canceling TPIR by the end of the next season due to the consistently low ratings since Drew took over being the host of the show.

There is absolutely no truth to that rumor at this time, although if things keep going the way they are going, rumors might turn into fact. The show is safe for now.

How bad are the ratings Mike?

Isn't the View now beating it on a fairly regular basis?

How Low is The Price is Right Ratings.

The ratings aren't as terrible as some people made it out to be. TPIR isn't falling too far behind The View (it's #1), #2 to be exact in the 18-49 range for female viewers. So, in fact, TPIR is in no danger of cancellation.

Sadly, it is indeed.

The ratings for TPIR aren't so terrible, but they are enough to cause a concern. Personally, Drew's not a bad host but the chemistry between the game and him just don't feel that great. He seems to be rushing too quickly when a contestant tries to see whether he wins or not, and that Allakazam of his seems like a gimme. Bob really showed his strength and enthusiasm when it came down to the last few moments before revealing the actual price. I personally want the show to continue, but in this form, it seems that it will only take a matter of time before the show ends it's run.

Can't I say I'm surprised

Not as bad as some people are making it out to be. It is still doing well in alot of the major ratings categories. Overall on average it is number 2 behind the view, but there hasn't been much fall off this year & the show is still a money maker for CBS... I don't know where the rumors of the show getting cancelled are coming from, but the show is safe for now

The Great One · 12-23-2008, 05:17 PM

The comments I heard came from experts in the areas of daytime television programming practices and the revenues that are generated. TPIR is indeed in 2nd place with The View in 1st place but the ratings for daytime television overall have been much lower in recent years than before. Even the daytime version of Deal or No Deal isn't doing as well as expected and there has been talk about the show possibly not lasting past the first season. I'm not the expert but I do respect where the information is coming from because the analyzing of daytime programming practices and the profits that are generated is what these people do for a living. They even teach classes where these issues are discussed.

ThomasE · 12-23-2008, 08:32 PM

I would not make such a big deal about it. If it is doing somewhat ok in the ratings, I would not make a big issue out of it yet.

Mikado · 12-24-2008, 12:42 AM

Drew is terrible as the host, you get the impression he's not really "into" the game

MrCleveland · 12-24-2008, 12:50 PM

Thank God.

Drew Carey is kind of a good host.
