[quote name=\'ClockGameJohn\' post=\'225374\' date=\'Sep 8 2009, 01:14 PM\']I'm sure we could ask 100 people and the Top 10 answers will be on the board. Everyone has a different view, but I've heard the opposite from some sources. Longer work days, staff losing their hiatus weeks, and constant demand for "perfection" by the execs has put a strain on both Price and CBS personnel.[/quote]
And I've heard the crew is happier now because they're getting overtime again, which is something that Barker had taken away by changing the taping schedule. As they say, "It's better than Barker" (who even took away their candy drawer!).
As for the "strain"; c'mon, the show has a
new host, a
new producer, and a
new director. Did anyone really think it wasn't going to be stressful?

Male models? Works for me

But how could they script it so Mario would be shirtless at least once during both half hours?
RE ratings John: Yes, declining before announcement - up after, culminating with Barker's final week with numbers like he hadn't gotten in ages. I also said "The View will continually eat TPIR for lunch
with it's demographic".
