I want to make a comment made in this article:
Quote
Many other shows in the daypart have been experiencing ratings declines as well.
The justification I'm told when Price's ratings are brought up is "Well, all of daytime is experiencing declines"

That's skirting the issue. If you had your wallet stolen, would you justify it by saying "Well, lots of other people get their wallets stolen"

Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

According to this Variety article, Mike Richards is your new co-exec. producer. He worked on Weakest Link and hosted Beauty and the Geek for the CW/B. It also states that he was considered for the hosting job last year as well...

Well, truthfully, I'm more impressed with him now than when I just thought he was a reality-show host who dabbled in producing more reality crap.

I'm not sure that's a very good analogy.  The simple fact of the matter is that fewer people are watching television, and that means rating declines are hapening to everybody.  How much of the decline you want to attribute to that vs Drew vs fatigue over a 37-year-old game is a different matter, but it's fair when saying that TPIR ratings are down to say daytime ratings across the board are down.

I shall combat the media bias by always referring to him by his full name: James Todd Newton.

That's right, he lies about his first name and uses his middle!

This may be further down in the post, but Newton's father's name is Jim.  He's a good guy who umpires many high school baseball games.

"The move comes about a month after Roger Dobkowitz left his duties as producer of the venerable gameshow, produced by FremantleMedia North America, (Daily Variety, July 7)."

Variety made it sound like it was Dob's decision to leave.  Not only do they create their own language, they create their own version on how he left.

It needs a tortured reference to the "Eye network".

Three Strikes changes

Apparently first digit is given free, and all three strikes are in the bag again.  I would advise not scrolling down from that post, as there's some real "OMGWTF" posts.

That's......bizarre.  They've pretty much set the game back 20 years.  If it's to make the game faster, I can sorta understand, but still.....bizarre.

I can't really think of another reason (besides speeding it up) for the change, unless they suddenly plan to offer $100,000 cars on it.
