[quote name=\'tvrandywest\' post=\'144307\' date=\'Jan 23 2007, 06:45 PM\']Not specific to Doug, and as a general concept, I have to agree with the school of thought about known performers bringing with them a built in audience when they are cast in a new project. The question in my mind is whether or not that audience will stay with the new show after the novelty wears off if the object of their affection isn't up to the task.[/quote]Bob could make up the rules to every game he wishes, and declare players winners or losers at his whimsy, and people would still line up at the Temple of Bob.
(if you want that without the snark; Bob's been "off his game" for years now, and the Bob worship has not slowed down a bit. I imagine that fans of a particular personality would gravitate to TPIR, at least for a good while. I've been watching The Feud more than I have in months, just because I enjoy watching John O'Hurley.)
