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.[/quote]
I got some great news about that last night. If they thought they were going to get away with it, they need to think again now. This is a big source of relief after the tragedy we feared. And, furthermore,.....WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?? just my cat.

After looking at the new TPIR web site ....

Is Manuela still "filling in" while Brandi is on maternity leave or is this switch now permanent?

According to her bio on the site it says she's permanent. Says something like although she didn't win the Vote for The New PIR Model Home Contest or whatever it was called, the producers were so impressed with her that they gave her a permanent spot. That says to me either the winner (Jessica, I think her name was) backed out or they realized that having a dog as a TPIR model might piss off PETA or something.

The intro seems watered down but that's only because I know differently. No average viewer is going to tell the difference, unless it's pointed out to them, and even then, I doubt they'd care.

Unfortunately.

You were doing so well until you got to this word. Do tell us why it's so "unfortunate."

Gee, they couldn't go back to "A fortune in fabulous prizes may go to these people today if they know when The Price is Right!"

I'm sure Wilford Brimley and the fine folks at Liberty Medical can fill your Prozac prescription. ;-)

Speaking of spinnin', where's the goofy comments that spin towards the center of the screen during the intro?! Show me some Windsor-font messages, dammit!!!1!

Well maybe I'm making too much out of spoken words, but I believe that when something is watered-down, it loses part of what it used to be. That loss is unfortunate for many reasons, the most prevalent being that we'll likely never see an intro like that again. It is simply my opinion that, that also, is a loss.

/Losing the spinny comments is also a loss. One version of TPIR's identity erodes while another one grows in its place.

They were probably removed due to the large amount of people complaining how they words now "shimmered" and it made them nauseous and physically want to throw up.

As a parent of a son who has sensory issues and has had an overload to just the big wheel spinning, personally I'm ok with the words being gone.

As said before, whammy, it's a change in a script, and a minor one at that. Is it "unfortunate" for America because you don't like it or because America's losing out on a few words?

I rather enjoyed the changes for season 38 and the set changes are especially nice. If I were going to give constructive criticism it would be for Drew to polish up on his explanations of the games rules. Otherwise, I'd say the show easily has another 2 seasons of life ahead of it, if not another 12.
