Travis, all I am doing is stating my opinion on the man. You guys can like or dislike whomever you want. Good day, Sir,

On one hand you could say that Bob Barker isn\'t that important, on the other hand you could say that he is. The public at large will always remember him as this nice old man who gave away millions of prizes. To get him to come back is a huge rating coup that the current regime will thoroughly enjoy the spoils to.

I\'ve cut down communications by about 90% with a long-term friend of mine because he\'s become both insufferable and incoherent in his complaints about everything. He thinks that the world would be a terrific place if we\'d all just give up our sovereignty and do what he wants, even if he doesn\'t quite understand it himself, and can\'t explain why we should give up our cars just so our ancestors a thousand years in the future can have a planet to live on. (when pressed he was unable to expand upon this point.) It got so bad that when discussing Why I\'m A Libertarian, he asked me point blank, what I\'d do if my upstairs neighbors had a wading pool filled with kerosene. (As it happens, my answer involved lots of prayer, but not the backstroke.)

My friend, like Johnny here, is a nothing-burger. Nobody is going to follow either through the gates of Hell because we can\'t understand them. Even if we could put their word salad into something resembling a thought, we don\'t buy in anyway because we have lives and bills and crap. When Bob comes out of retirement again to announce that he\'s running for senator on a platform of mandatory pet castration, let\'s talk. Until then, let\'s not.

No, what you\'re doing is bloviating. As such, you should not be the least bit surprised that most people are either ignoring you or asking you to stop.

I don\'t revere Bob; I don\'t like him as a person. (I also don\'t know him personally.) I don\'t like his backstage actions, and that\'s it. I go about my day. He does not enter my life. People who want to remember him as the host of their favorite game show can do so and I\'m not going to \"ruin\" that for them.




This is the perfect way to sum this whole thing up. If Johnny took that approach, this conversation would flow much smoother. Instead it\'s turning into more of an \"Aw jeez! Not this [stuff] again\" conversation.

This has nothing to do with our opinion of Bob and everything to do with our opinion of you. And right now, I like Bob better.

So it\'s okay for you to go on and on about how much you hate the man, but when others defend the act of throwing him a party, you take your ball and go home?

If he takes his ball and exits through the marked door, that means he won\'t be around anymore.

Note to self: stop opening cans of worms.

I love Barker AS A HOST, guys, don\'t get me wrong. There are two sides to every story and I just don\'t like his political side, and \'m worried that bringing him back might invite more trouble than it\'s worth. Barker is in my mind the second greatest host of all time, behind, ironically, the first TPiR host, Bill Cullen. I\'m just worried about the animosity at Studio 33 given his past.

Funny how you cite being more trouble than it\'s worth...


Cut your losses, man. You\'re just making it worse.
