Let's just hope it doesn't start with "Roger Dobkowitz" and end with "left Price is Right".

If this news means that Syd Vinnedge ends up taking over the day-to-day producing duties of the show, we're doomed.

I don't know if this is related or simply coincidental, but when I accessed Golden-Road.net [after reading this thread], the front page simply said:

"We have reached the end of the Golden Road."

[/quote]The header says "Maintenance Mode", so I can only assume it's offline for a bit while they do some changes and tweaks... hopefully?

I don't know what's going on here.

But I know what it pretty much has to be, and it ain't good.

I don't much care for the "You'll hear soon enough stuff", nor do I much care for the cryptic messages like the offline message currently adorning Golden-Road.net; if someone knows something, then there's no sense beating around the bush with it - say it.

It's true...it's all true.
Two very reliable sources have made this true.

Everyone who loves this show needs to say a prayer for it's "taking a different direction" future.

EVERYONE

Somthing is obviously going on, because golden-road.net isn't accessible. Can someone just tell us what's going on?

Man, I really shouldn't have made one last check of g-r before leaving work for the day. Now this is gonna bug me for hours before I can get home and check this out more thoroughly.

Casey Buck · « **Reply #12 on:** July 03, 2008, 05:40:07 PM »

Jesus. The last original member of the show is gone? Roger is at least half the reason why TPiR has lasted for 36 years.

The show's going in a different direction, all right. Straight down.

Wonder why?

I guess we'll find out from an official source soon enough...

I'm home crying right now. I just saw that man less than two weeks ago...
That's for all of you first graders who needed it spelled out in detail for you.

Man, you're home crying about a TV program that isn't even canceled and you want to call everybody else "first graders". That's bound to get this thread off to a good start.
