There are many, many vintage music cues which have been retired and which could be dusted off now that Barker's gone.

Fire Rich Fields and hire Don Pardo. No chance, but hey, it'd be an improvement.

I don't get this one (and I'm sure it's quite simple). Did Barker hold a moratorium on select cues?

I believe so. Some he felt were too closely associated with furs. At least that's the rumor I've heard.

I detect some very subtle sarcasm from Chris, given his past connections to the show...(I apologize if I'm wrong.)

A change I'd like to see? More variety in the types of cars given away. Yes, I know that Bob and the producers have decided to give away only "American" cars for some time now, but then what's with them giving away Korean-made Chevy Aveos? Or any car made by Daimler-Chrysler, for that matter? Really, the car market is so global now that it's so hard to distinguish...why not offer a few Alabama-made Hyundais or Ford-owned Mazdas...

Here's an interesting scenario I would like to see but probably won't:

"I'm Drew Carey, and I approve this bacon."

Knowing Bob and how he tried to whitewash his past and rewrite history, I believe it.

SamJ93, I second your take on the cars. Given the global nature of the automotive industry and badge engineering, the patriotism that Bob foisted on TPiR is basically vain at this point given that the Chevy Aveo that is okay now was not okay when it was a Daewoo.

We know how Barker felt about furs, and we know that certain music cues have been retired. I'm merely repeating a rumor that he retired some of those music cues because they were often used for furs. I don't see what's so far-fetched about that.

Joe Mello · « **Reply #27 on:** July 24, 2007, 11:18:01 PM »

Jewelery is akin to high luxury and high luxury often includes furs, so does that mean Price shouldn't have had jewelery?

I can understand cues getting retired because they sound old, but I don't think the audience is so Palovian that they would associate Cue 10238A to specifically a fur.

Except that your attempt to draw a connection between the two doesn't hold up. Jewelry and Furs can be considered luxury items, but there's no overlap of the sets, rendering it invalid.

What's the association between music and furs then? And please don't tell me you made a Venn diagram specifically for this argument.

(The superset IS the connection)
