The Price is Right (1972– )
10/10
Out With The Old And In With The New
5 April 2016
I admit I've been a devout viewer of this show ever since I was a little kid. Bob Barker and his original "Barker's Beauties" always seemed to withstand the weather of time and kept on going no matter how long the clock ticked, just like the "Energizer Rabbit". The decades passed and there they still were. Did the Price is Right change during that long hour glass journey? No, not until a long time afterwards. Their cars went from 1970s Corvettes to the latest Dodge Vipers, lavishly displaying how prizes and prices drastically changed, but how the show didn't.

The rouse of excitement this show always incited was a major draw for me. It's enthusiastic audience reaction and it's loud carnival atmosphere really drew my interest. There were a lot of record breaking wins and unexpected surprises sometimes. The show seemed to have an enthusiastic potential that apparently wouldn't end.

I admit I'd eagerly watch sometimes, but would later lose interest only to be drawn back into it again a few years later. There they still were - Bob Barker and his "beauties".

I admit Bob is never one to be tired of, but it was tiring seeing the models Janice, Diane and Holly constantly raising their arms for an eternity to introduce the latest prizes. It was time for new faces when those models exhausted their endlessly long run. They were near senior citizen age by that time and went on longer than they should have. They remained gorgeous beauties though.

I think Drew is the perfect host after Bob with his chronic cheerful disposition and constant wit. The new models too brought a refreshing feel to the show. I'll always be a fan of TPIR and the "happy wealth" it so happily delivers, but times change and so should those who are on it after a certain period. I love it.
