What are the odds of Bob's final episode airing on 10/12 as an appropriate transition to Drew's first episode?

I think the odds would be high on that one...and I wouldn't be surprised if we get the  "50 years of television" special on 10/11.  Just to give CBS an excuse to run it one more time before the shelf the tape.

Even though it won't happen, I had this wild fantasy that CBS would run Bob's last show and Drew's first show in primetime back-to-back, and there would be a small skit in between a la the Daytime Emmy's where Bob would appear standing amongst the props backstage as Drew walks to the doors for his "first" entrance.

Something quick, poingant, and funny, where Bob can get a few one liners in at Drew before he starts his reign...Possibly ending with "Hey Carey?  Break a leg, better yet, don't.  I"ve heard you've damn near broke your arm already in rehearsal."

Or, alternately, we could avoid feeding His Holy Barkerness's ego and let Drew host the damn show on his own merits, since he doesn't need that jackass's seal of approval.

(Jesus. He's GONE. Let it GO already.)

The chance of Bob Barker's final episode of "The Price is Right" airing again should be next to zero, as that would lessen the value of such a show. Same goes for the tribute show.

That makes no sense.  How would rerunning the show lessen its value??  If anything it would INCREASE its value to the network.  Anyway, I'm betting they'll rerun the season finale.

The tribute show is a little much, as Barker's time has come and gone, and so has the media hype.

However, I do think that it would make sense to air his final ep. as a transition into the Drew Carey era. Honestly, I wonder how many people see the show now and wonder why Barker's still on the air, not realizing it's a rerun. Not everyone's in the know like we are.

Will you please call off your dogs with the idolatry of Bob Barker and this show? It is not NEARLY as crucial as you seem to think.

Bravo. Bravissimo. Great photo to use, even.

/that one might be good for a "I see what you did there" too

Pardon me, I meant a second daytime airing (or any airing prior to October 15th) would lessen the value of the final show with Bob. Yes, I believe it makes sense as other programs with a long running host.

I don't see what difference it would make to most viewers: aside from the confetti, the new camera, and more expensive than usual items it's like any other episode.

Unless of course they promoted it heavily, in which case, unlike the generic reruns, everyone who would otherwise be interested in watching would know it was a show they'd already seen.

(If I were picking episodes to rerun, I'd make sure his last Hole In One was included(for his reaction at missing his last inspiration putt, despite not wanting to mention that it *was* the last) and the June 14th show (because I've seen but not heard it) but that's just personal preference and certainly neither a prediction nor a suggestion)

You are, as usual, not making a goddamn bit of sense.

[sshuffield70]

One could suggest the DSW show on the 11th and the final show on the 12th.  Not that it would or should come down that way.

[Joe Mello]

This is an extrapolation, but according to Joe Capitano, if the rerun schedule remains the way it's been, 10/12 will be an episode from April.

And besides, from what's been indicated there is a heightened sense of elation in Studio 33 that the reappearance of a certain person would only cause to puncture.
