[quote name=\'RichZ\' post=\'125292\' date=\'Jul 26 2006, 09:50 PM\']That's what I've always thought. Not to mention the everyday appearances of various Barker's Beauties, many of whom were dismissed over the years for whatever reason, that Barker may not want to be seen with.[/quote]

If CBS is that worried about that, then GSN could just try to pick up a more recent season, like maybe season 29 or so. It could satisfy some of the people complaining that TPIR isn't being shown on GSN anymore, and GSN wouldn't have to sift through every single episode to make sure there aren't any fur coats.[/quote]
All very good points. Also, the average viewer is stupid enough to watch a 1970s ep and believe:
- that you can buy a new car for under $3,000.
- that Bob Barker is dying his hair again.
- that Johnny Olsen is still alive.
Remember, I'm talking about the average viewer, not the average GSF member. We're smart enough not to get brainwashed into buying three of everything we see on TV (trust me, those BK Stackers are very bad for you).
