Xtlm posted... Honestly, Drew Carey is great on The Price is RightI'd agree if it weren't for this: azuarc posted... As for production changes, every show is increasingly focused on not giving us the actual product. Drew Carey is great when they allow him to be. The problem, which stems from fewer sponsored prizes leading to more ad time, means that Drew doesn't get to crack as many jokes as he should. Trust me, I really enjoy the moments of genuine goofiness (a recent one is someone asking for Whose Line content, leading to Drew starting a "Weird Newscasters" game and having George do the weather as "The guy from the B-52s" with hilarious results). There just aren't enough of those. Add four more minutes and the show becomes a lot more fun. The contestants also seem less genuine and are just acting excited. Some of these are really off-putting. The ones that are real are great TV. Faking it is not. What made Bob Barker so special was how he would heckle people without being mean. He wanted these people to win even if he was mocking them for being bad at the game. He was great at getting reactions of of people - genuine ones. And that's faded with time and tragic shifts in TV culture. --- Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered! RIP Bob Barker (1923 - 2023) - and thanks for all the memories. ...
