SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

kingbk-2 The Price is Right has changed in many ways from its debut in 1972. However, at the same time, it's still the same show of guessing the prices on items. I was one of the many that thought the show should call it a day when Bob Barker hung up his microphone in 2007, but Drew Carey has done a remarkable job of taking over and making the show his own. Sure, he's not the suave, charming, ladies man that Bob Barker was in his hey day, but he makes the show fun. He's more along the lines of Pat Sajak in that he's more laid back and isn't afraid to be self-deprecating. It comes off more genuine and honest than Bob did. Drew has had his speed bumps (the infamously awful "Drewcases" being the most visible example) but he's overcome them to make his mark on the show. Sure, sometimes I miss Bob building up the excitement of a huge prize or a big win, but I've gotten over it. I also like the updating of sets, prizes and more. Long time favorites like Lucky Seven, Plinko, Cliff Hangers and Hole-in-One fit in just as much as new games such as Gas Money, Rat Race, and Pay the Rent. The prizes, which got kind of stale under Bob, are fresh and lucrative. Drew isn't afraid to mix things up with theme weeks or other specials that keep the variety of the show strong. I also know this has nothing to do with the program, but it's nice to see Drew get along with the announcer and models, unlike the cold relationship Bob had with them in his later years. It makes the show more enjoyable to sense that everyone gets along. However, through and through, this is still the same old show that survived the daytime game show purge of the 90s and the same one that gave stay at home moms, seniors, and college students 60 minutes of fun every morning. That sense of nostalgia and familiarity have always been the core of the show's appeal, and it's nice with all the updating that they haven't lost that. The Price is Right, like Saturday Night Live, 60 Minutes and The Tonight Show, is one of those television institutions that, no matter how much things change, they will underneath it all, remain the same.

DMMeltzer I was a freshman in college in 1972 when the revamped show appeared on CBS Daytime. If there was no class scheduled in the Prue-VCR days, we'd gather in somebody's room to watch the show. It was not uncommon for residents of my dormitory to look out the window, see a friend coming, and yell their name followed by "COME ON DOWN!!!". Fast forward 34 years later to 2006, and the show has just as much-perhaps greater-following among college aged kids. And not just viewers. Look at the audience. Look at how many college students become contestants. In a day and age where everything eventually becomes old and younger generation moves on to the next biggest thing, it's comforting to see kids 18 years old enjoying the same thing I did when I was 18. (We'll address how that makes me feel old at 51 at a different time. LOL)

cabasaexpert351 Ever since I was a little kid I always remember hating this show. I would hear the saying "Come on down" and I would think Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Change the channel!!!!!!! My brother loves this show on the other hand so he watches it a lot but I continue to hate this show with a passion, I think it has to be one of the worst games hows ever made. I don't like Bob Barker, I think he is stuck on himself and I think the show is just plain boring and extremely annoying. This show and Bob Barker are really overrated. Another thing that really gets on my nerves is how when they take the bets to find out who gets to go on stage how people can bet $1 or like 1 or 2 dollars over what someone else before them has bet, I think that is really unfair. This is just a horrible show in my opinion.

MsBoomBastic I am 21 and I have watched this show since I was 12. I love the funny outtakes from the contestants, but I have to say that right now that the prizes are getting worse as everyday goes by. There was even one episode that did not give away a new car. The showcases are nothing that interest anyone and there has been a lot of passing (showcases) to the other contestant. I like the new announcer (Rich Fields) but will never take the place of the dulcet tones of Rod Roddy. I give it 5 out of 10 due to the fact that I commend Bob Barker for asking people to spay or neuter their pets, also the models that are very pretty. But I give this show about 5 years max due to the fact of inflation, loss of interest, and not so good prizes.
