Bit late for that sadly. It looks like we're stuck with Rich "I LIKE TO YELL A LOT BECAUSE I THINK I HAVE TO BECAUSE I THINK IT MAKES ME A GOOD ANNOUNCER!" Fields for the forseeable future.

Someone's drinking Haterade.  Does it have that deep down body thirst by chance?

I wonder if Fremantle is telling Rich to do all this. I notice TPiR has gotten considerably louder in recent years, and one big thing I've noticed is that the audience yells over every single thing, just like with Feud.

Bob: I've got a hangnail!
Audience: Yeeaaahhhhh! Wooooooo!

This is not a complaint, but I notice that Fremantle seems to think that yelling over everything automatically makes the show 10x exciting. In some cases, it's just annoying.

I don't know if it's Fremantle or not. I think it's just Rich's annoying style of announcing.

Wow...I did a quick search on all your posts, and OVER HALF of them are you berating Rich Fields. Look, just because you think he's a bad announcer doesn't mean you have to say it every ten seconds. Some of us like him. Some do not. But that doesn't mean you have to be all snippy about it and post how much you don't like him every day. Lord knows we don't need someone doing that too.

Maybe TPiRFan oughta share an MP3 with their version or impression of how an announcer on Price should sound...seeing as how Rich is apparently so loud and annoying.

Would you prefer Rich Jeffries? OK, so Rich F. doesn't have that deep pipeness that Johnny O. had (and, for that matter, neither did Rod) but it's a likeable energetic style. I'm sure we could probably find fault with some of Johnny Gilbert's inflections if we telescoped them closely enough.

Yup, he did it. He actually did it. He made the word "comes" into a two-syllable word.

I can't frickin believe my ears. Well, yes I can. It's Burton.

I will say for the record that Rich Fields is no Rod Roddy. Only Rod Roddy is Rod Roddy.

I've heard the other announcers thanks to that Spartanpages link. Art Sanders was good, and Don Bishop had a good voice for the show, but lacked any form of interaction with Bob. And the less said about Daniel Rosen, the better. He's a competant announcer but doesn't fit Price, simple as that. The other announcers I felt indifferent about, except Randy.

Rich fits just fine on the show. As I stated, he's not Rod or Johnny, he holds his own, and it works fine.

You have just rationalized having a subpar announcer. "A is inferior to B but I'll settle for the inferior goods."

Well, think about this for a moment: We could've ended up with Burton or Daniel. Besides, we can't bring people back from the dead (yet), so we have to suffice with this.

No, we don't. They are more competent, still-living candidates out there. (Heck, I can think of one person who contributes regularly to this forum right off the top of my head.) And being satisfied with mediocrity just because we could have had someone worse isn't how I choose to live life. :)

Thank you, Chris. That's very nice. But I wasn't granted an audition, so I was left to root from the sidelines.

No, I think he meant me, Don...I KEED!  I KEED!  

But, on a very off-topic and vague at best parallel, today was my first outing on what my new boss called "professional television" and it was in a sense an audition for a possible gig with the broadcasters involved.  Quinn Broadcasting based in Southern NJ held a telethon for 7 hours today and I served as a field reporter from one of the major donation dropoff locations.  We raised over $20,000 (mostly cash, the rest supplies) for those folks along the Gulf Coast that are still recovering from Katrina.  It was such a great thing to be apart of, and I'm so glad and proud to have had a small role in the making of the production and the effort.  I did end up, unintentionally, evoking the words "Come on down" a time or two (alluding to Johnny Olson at one point actually, heh) to try to get people to come and make drop off donations.  But, hey it was fun and we helped raise a lot of money and helped pickup a lot of supplies.

I don't think so at all. He's just acknowledging that Rich is a different person from Johnny or Rod. I don't think that Rich subpar at all. I think Roddy was a lot closer to being south of par than anyone.
