Title: American Idol Intro
Post by: Jeremy Nelson on April 26, 2005, 08:06:18 PM
This season I noticed that they rmeodeled the "Final 12" set where Ryan would have to walk through a separating video screen. it kinda reminds me of Bob Barker's big doors intro. Does anybody think this was personally ripped off from The Price is Right intro?

I think we'll know for sure Ryan's really lost his mind when he asks Randy Jackson for his bid.

Or if one of the finalists is replaced by a singing refrigerator.

Another sign he's lost it: He suggests to the producers the contestants yodel instead of sing.

Well, figure this:

1.  Idol, in its various versions, is owned and produced by the same company that produces TPiR.

2.  Despite being a Fox Network show, most of its episodes, except for the championship round, are shot at CBS Television City.

Coincidence?

Coincidence.  There are only so many logical ways a host can make an entrance.

If Ry Ry starts dying his hair silver and starts talking about bee-YOO-tiful singing, then there might be something.

Where were you when Jeopardy! was shamelessly ripping off TPIR with the "sushi bar" set? Huh?

What about back in 1973? Where did Gene Rayburn get the nerve to walk through those doors on the MG set? It's was so obvious!

I was the one making tuna rolls next to Alex.
He kicked me off the set after I spilled soya sauce and shorted the electronic scribble pad. :)

You know sushi like I know sushi... :)

Rather than wondering if Ryan thinks he's Barker, I'm more concerned about the day that Barker begins to think he's Ryan!
