    Ahhhhh......Drew Carey....how far have you fallen? I've been a Drew Fan from the good old days of "Who's line is it Anyway" where he was smiling and witty...and now...honestly looks like he's just been taken out of prison, beaten in the Green Room with his family being held off camera to gun-point and then being told to go do a show...all hand in hand with a "cheesy" smile and ungenuine conversation (or rather irritable hushing of the contestants). The situation isn't helped by the seemingly "over" happy and enthusiastic crowd that harks to scenes of a disturbing Utopia or the forced Chinese supporters at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games that makes it hard for Drew to have any realistic human interaction with the contestants...take your pick...but ultimately it doesn't look like he really wants to be there. This is the first show ever that I have cringed while watching it, not because of the idea, the contestants, the intelligence or the mood, but by the host....a man who I admire but ... Read more

    I think watching any game show is evidence either of encroaching senility, or incipient imbecility. Or both.

    A friend of mine won everything you can win on this show. A car, vacations, furniture, you name it. I also find it amusing that Bob Barker can still pull some serious ass. UPDATE: It ain't what it used to be, but I'd still like to play Plinko.

    A sad celebration of American Consumer Culture. Still, it's good to see Jim Carey working. I'm sure unemployment wouldn't agree with him.

    It was my most favorite game show - 5 Stars - until this Monday. What a shocker! They replaced Rich Fields with a new announcer, who's voice makes me ill. He sounds horrible and for a while I was thinking that I tuned in to the Dating Game from the 80's by mistake. Now I can only bare to watch TPIR on MUTE, but what's the point? The current setup is a turn-off and Drew cannot make up for the void of a good announcer, like Rich Fields. My mom too hates the sound of this new guy's voice and stopped watching the show all together. She is now watching CSINY on her DVR instead of TPIR and refuses to watch unless Rich is called back to the show. I heard they fired him, I just don't know why?

    It would be much better if they would get rid of that idiot Drew Cerry. He not only isn't funny,he is a complete failure as a host. If he stays on the show we won't keep watching. hm

    When I was sick and staying home from school, I saw all the daytime tv programming that I'd normally miss, which includes the 'Price is Right.' Watching the 'Price is Right' became a more regular occurrence in high school when I skipped school all the time.

    Loved watching the old farts never, ever get the mini-golf game. Loved watching the yodeling man fall over the mountain whilst climbing. PiR taught me (as a youngster) just what a car was really worth. Loses one star for the creepy sexual content of Bob Barker ogling women of all shapes and sizes. . .but Barker hooking up with one of those models scores well in this man's book.

    Loved the show with bob, never missed a show, dont like it now, not good chemistry. I love drew in his other shows just dont think its a good fit for him, makes the viewer uncomforable to watch. Drew is very bad at hosting this show. He talks to fast, jokes are not funny, really thought cbs would have picked a better host for this legendary show. Really hope they change the host to someone better so i can enjoy the show again!

    Unfortunately, I like some of the games...especially Plinko, but it's getting more and more difficult to watch as Drew is really bad at hosting. He speaks too fast (compared to Bob), makes wise cracks about contestants, cannot explain how to play a game for the life of him. Maybe I've watched too long, but to any real fan of TPIR, it's almost second nature to explain these games. Did I mention how bad he is with predicting what someone is going get when they spin the Big Wheel? The one good thing I will say about Drew, he does know how to celebrate with those that win on the show. I think we should play our own game called "how many times can Drew screw up in this episode?" It has become funny from that standpoint.

    Drew Carey sucks big time!! He looks uncomfortable almost the entire show. The worst part is when he is not sure what else to say when they are spinning the wheel, so he mutters "is there anyone who you would like to say hi to?". How rediculous and zero entertainment value for the watcher. Carey SUCKS and I hope they replace him soon. He seems unhappy too. I think he's just an unhappy fellow.

    Judging by the fans comments, they have excepted Bob Barker's retirement. Yes he will be missed, but the new host Drew Carry does not fit the profile or have the personality require to host a show of this nature. If this show is to succeed, the producers will need to make changes quickly and return to the original format with a new host so that the fans maybe able to adjust and except new changes in future. As one of your fans has indicated by saying that "The Price is Right is a piece of Americana". I can see that the producers are trying to bring in a younger group for the future, but have not realized that they have made too many changes to fast. The new host should be someone young but with a very mature personality. Remember this host must be able to bring out the best in all of your fans.

    Drew Carry should go back to that Who's line is it anyway show. All Bob's hard work and dedication is all in Vain and that show is going downhill in a big way. Bob's at home right now. lets coax him out of retirement. BOB COME BACK!!!

    The Price is Right isn't quite as good without the veteran, consummate professional Bob Barker. Nevertheless, the many entertaining, fun games, the unpredictable audience participants and the chance to win cash and prizes allows this show to maintain its popularity. An hour's escape into a world of light-hearted pleasure and excitement. I am already looking forward to watching it tomorrow as I sip my morning cup of tea.

    PLEASE get rid of him! He absolutely sucks!!!! He has no tone in his voice. He does not show any emotion or excitement and it feels as though he is an auctioneer just running through his commentary with zero expression. We used to watch every opportunity possible we had, but we just cannot watch with Drew Carey anymore.

    Drew Carey is a poor replacement for Bob Barker. I tried to watch it a couple of times, but it was boooorrrrrrrrrrring.. No more. Need a different host. Who in the heck picked Drew?

    I have been a fan of the show since the early 70s when I was in high school--yes, whenever I used to stay home sick, that would be my favortie show to switch on. Maybe we got used to Bob's ways and style but now with this transplanted comedian, I no longer care to watch. I'm sad that the producers of TPIR will probably face the reality that the choice for host did nothing to keep the momentum going.

    Really Sucks now w/Drew Carey. I thought it might just be me or my imagination at first but as I look around in differents places where people post their feelings about the show, HE REALLY DOES SUCK and if they don't do something SOON this iconic TV Show will have to be CANCELLED! Several people will be and should be fired if they were connected with this SUPER HIRING BLUNDER.

    I still love the show but Drew Carey is horrible. I think they could of picked someone better to be the host. Drew Carey is just a bad host and he makes the show akward, he's just so boring. GET A NEW HOST!!!

    The Price is Right is a piece of Americana that will live on forever. Yes, Bob Barker will be missed, and yes, Drew carey can be annoying, but the game is a great leveller - people less well off can get great prizes, groups of people who work together have a great trip to see it. I love it!

    Bob Barker's great. UPDATE: Well, he's done his final show.  He will be missed.  I don't think anyone will be able to fill his shoes for this show.

    Loved watching this show on t.v. but it was runed for me when I actually atteneded a taping of this show for my 18th birthday. We had to get to the studio at 5 in the morning (my friends and I were about the 120th people in line!) and wait till six to get our first set of tickets. (These do not guarantee you a seat at the show, they just tell you what number you were in line before six...stupid, I know) We then got to leave for a couple hours and then came back to get our real numbers. We sat around for a few more hours making sure everyone had the right numbers, then we left for lunch. We then had to go back for a few more hours and wait to get our name tags. Around 1, they began to take us by rows for our "interview" to see if we could get to be a contestant on the show. The key to this part is to keep the interviewe talking. After another hour of waiting for people to have their interviews, we finally got to go into the show. FYI, the stage is SOOO small. They can only fit about 300... Read more

    The God of all game shows. This show has been on forever, Bob Barker must be 100 years old. I’ll watch the show until Bob retires then I’ll change the channel.

    There have been 2 versions of TPIR. The first version was a bit different and was hosted by the late Bill Cullen in the years 1956-1965. The Bob Barker version has been running strong for 35 years (1972-present). Nearly 45 years of this game show is amazing within itself! Come on down!!
