Two questions:

A) Is Barker working on TPiR anymore?

B) You're saying that the nine people called up to play aren't stars?

Just trying to see where you're going with this.

[quote name=\'whewfan\' post=\'226398\' date=\'Sep 18 2009, 07:27 PM\']I thought I had read that they ALMOST cut out the "Bob Barker Studio" mention too, but I also see why they left it in.

I thought I also read that whether the host is billed as the "star" or "host" is up to the emcee.

Gene Rayburn was originally the HOST of MG and later billed as the STAR.

Richard Dawson was the STAR of FF while O'Hurley is the HOST

I think Peter Tomarken was the only one to get BOTH... "and now, here's your host, the STAR of PYL"

Heatter Quigley tried to be more creative with their host intros...

"And now, the MASTER of the Hollywood Squares..."
"And now, here's the man with all the action..." (High Rollers)
"And now, here's the man in command...." (Battlestars)[/quote]

Matt, you're forgetting my two faviorite ones which is mentioning the grand prize in their title.

The man who wants you to win $100,000, the star of Name That Tune, Tom Kennedy.
Here is the man with the million, Jim Lange.

The opening doesn't bother me. The light border is a bit busy with the checkerboards, but it's a nice touch that they brought back something.

As for the "star" status, doesn't really bother me either. One that DID always bother me was, on "Hollywood Squares", when Shadoe would say, "And STARRING Whoopi Goldberg, with Tom Bergeron your host!"...umm, there's only eight other celebrities who could be deserving of that title as well...

Ed Sullivan is the new announcer?

Yeah, but only one of 'em was EP and the focal point of the whole show.

Didn't the Vegas version of HS have a similar intro "And starring PAUL LYNDE with Peter Marshall" or something like that? I know someone posted an audio of the intro from the short lived Vegas run of HS.

Another interesting billing, in terms of hosts, was Monty's for the 90s LMAD "and now here's your special guest host, the big dealer himself, Monty Hall!"

Most of us know it was Monty's intention to find another host to replace Hilton, which in an American Archive interview, he said he HATED to do. I know I am going off topic a little, but Monty said that the producers of "Hello Larry" did NOT want Mc.Lean Stevenson, but Mc.Lean was under contract at NBC and in order to "sell the show", they reluctantly got Mc.Lean to star. (Hello Larry also featured Monty's Daughter Joanna Gleason). Just the same, Monty had to "sell" LMAD by taking back the reins himself.

[quote name=\'Casey Buck\' post=\'226391\' date=\'Sep 18 2009, 05:30 PM\']I've started another TPiR thread; don't be surprised if there's a flame war!

Anyway, at priceisright.com, there's a behind-the-scenes clip with clips of Monday's season premiere. There are three changes in the show's opening:

*A light border has returned, though not the same one that was used for Season 36 and early Season 37.
*The opening is noticeably shorter; it now says, "Here it comes! From the Bob Barker studio at CBS in Hollywood, it's The Price Is Right!". No more "Television's most exciting hour of fantastic prizes" or "fabulous 60-minute".
*Drew's introduction is a more generic, "And now, here's your host, Drew Carey!". No more "star of The Price is Right".[/quote]Well, the back is questionable, but the show has run in both 30 and 60 minutes so that is no problem. But what I don't like is them taking Bob out for it ruins everything since it was Bob shows and not Drew. The border is not the problem at all though.

That's *your* opinion. I'm sure others besides myself disagree.

Back "when", people said the same thing about the real Greatest Host of TPIR, Bill Cullen. But time moves on, and if you ask the Price audience today 99% of them would say "Bill who?".

Yes. While doing the warm-up for Ohio University's version of The Price Is Right, I'd give a quick history of TPiR, mention Bill Cullen's name and the sound of chirping crickets can be heard. Don Pardo will be happy to know that his name still sparks a responsive chord.

Amen to that. *That* I will accept as the greatest host of TPiR.

I've read this three times, but I still must ask, what the hell are you talking about? Who took Bob out of what? It's still "The Bob Barker Studio" in the intro.

I think they gave Bob a cease to exist order.
