is anyone else depressed that Bob Barker is retiring from Price Is Right? he's been a mainstay in my life ever since.. i was born. and he's been there for us, through thick and thin. and i've been there for him (i fully supported him during the Barker Beauty scandal, and still do)..
it's been a long time dream of mine to go on Price Is Right and win at Plinko (before going on to the showcase showdown).. i'm trying to cope with the fact that this will never happen, but it is hard.
thanks for the memories Bob
Plinko

One of my first memories is our one-legged house cleaner watching Bob on The Price is Right while she ironed. Ahhh, those were the days. He really has been a constant.
I'm surprised you didn't go for Flip-flop
My choice. Putting with Bob on Hole in One
PS The wikipedia page on the Price is Right is insanely detailed. |

The late Leslie Crowther used to host the UK PIR. Squeaky-voiced Joe Pasquale host it now.

I always loved this show. They'll replace Bob Barker with a new host and continue, but it won't be the same. I'd rather watch re-runs with Bob. My favorite game is the one where the little guy climbs the mountain and that hilarious song plays. The goal is for him to not fall off the cliff. Remember that one? Followed closely by Plinko. Good call, floop.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

I liked the dice one where you'd roll and then pick if the digit was higher or lower for each digit in the price of a car.
Ahhhh many schoolyear lunches spent eating macaroni and watching the Price is Right.

Cliff Hangers

I remember always watching this, Card Sharks, Password, and 20,000 Pyramid when I was home sick from school. Like 25 years ago.
Jeez, I can't believe he was still hosting that show all this time.
When Barney went on on "How I Met Your Mother" it was the best cameo of all times. Barney thinks Bob Barker is his father. Gotta love NPH.

I liked the cliff hanger game. I also thought that Bob was excellent in Happy Gilmore.
Maybe I will grin but I won’t bear

One of the pleasures of being sick and staying home from school was watching this show. Fuck winning, I always wanted to spin the big wheel. And Bob had the best mic ever.
