They could use it for trips and for a groovy graphic treatment in the opening. They probably wouldn't use it for pricing games, then, and that's a good thing.[/quote]Why, they could even put a model back there to show off a fur coat!

Even better ... show her on the video wall while wearing the fur coat!

I have all but the first two recorded in HD here on my computer. When I get some time, I'll upload images of some of the more "glaring" examples.

That would be most interesting. I was only lucky enough to catch a showcase showdown in HD. Surprised how good the Price crew was at shooting those, because even some real slick operations (Letterman, WWE, etc.) had trouble with framing shots when they switched to high-def.

Well, considering BART shoots everything loose and wide, why wouldn't the framing be perfect for HD?

Man, there's almost no end to the number of ways that sounds naughty.

A video wall? I have expressed support for the wall since our days at the Invision board. I think it would do fine on the turntable. And keep this in mind, as well: they had a video wall during the 30th Anniversary Special in Vegas. Granted, it wasn't used for the show, but it was on the stage proper. It works when used correctly. I support its use on the turntable.

There's no way the video wall they tested last month could be used on the turntable. It's too big.

They could hang it on a pipe and fly it behind door 1. It might cause the roof of studio 33 to cave in, but that's beside the point. I imagine it's pretty heavy.

"Interesting" article by the Perf on the subject. A snippet that I found mindboggling in his commentary/article:

Quote

Any of possibly four things will happen in the next year: (1) CBS will be satisfied with the daytime numbers and Carey's performance enough to renew it; (2) The show's numbers will not pass CBS's requirements and Price will be canceled; (3) CBS could drop the show as a network offering but give Fremantle the right to produce it for syndication with CBS Television Distribution handling the syndication sales; (4) Price will continue on CBS but with a new host in 2009-10. Regardless, those of us in good health will continue to wake up in the morning and put our clothes on the same way as we always have.

1, 2, and 3 all seem like logical options for the show (for some reason, #3 sounds like a deal so they could use 33 for a good deal)...but I would love to know what alternate universe he lives in if #4 is even a remote possibility.

Why would you think this? Seriously, I don't find it mindboggling at all.

Look at how Drew has dealt with the last month...giving interviews and quotes that largely assume he wasn't involved in change, and left in the dark during all of it - and not liking that position.

Drew has gone on record before to say that he doesn't need to work. "The Drew Carey Show" made him filthy rich. So what's to stop him from saying after his contract is up that he doesn't want to go on and host the show anymore?

As much as I think that #3 (the syndication route) will happen sooner rather than later, I think #4 is quite viable as well.

I personally think that CBS would cancel the show before going on another hosting search, potentially another "new identity" with that person, etc. They would throw it onto Fremantle's hands by itself if they wanted to revive it in syndication with a new host. But then there's always that saying...you don't want to be the guy replacing the legend, you want to be the guy who replaces the guy who replaced the legend. Who knows. I do believe that it will wind up in syndication sooner rather than later.

Before all this happened, didn't Drew say that he was enjoying the job and having fun?

And what's to say Fremantle will even renew his contract?

Playing Devil's Advocate...suppose, for a moment, they want someone who will just be the host and do what they're told without putting their foot down over drastic changes.

Having an enjoyable job doesn't mean there can't be problems.

While those 4 options certainly sound specific, all but one of them could describes the end-of-season scenarios for any game show and possibly some to most scripted shows: Renewal as-is, Renewal in a different direction, and cancellation.
