The Price is Right with Drew Carey
Haven't seen a new thread on this yet but it just started this week. I haven't had the chance to watch yet, but just wondering what those that did thought of it.

I saw a little the other day and I didn't like it. Sorry, but Bob Barker IS The Price is Right. Without him the price is wrong, bitch. Seriously, though, it feels awkward. Like someone is filling in for Bob and doesn't know the gig, but I realize Carey just got into it so it'll be a while before he's totally comfortable. Either way I'm done with the show.

In all seriousness, if it doesn't work out with Drew by the end of this season, they need to bring in Joe Pasquale of the UK version to host the US version. He's the current host of the UK version and has made that successful, so you'd not only have somebody who's fit for the job, but they have already proven themselves worthy to host the show for the long haul.
Hell, I mean they even manage to have a set that looks like it was made in the last 10 years and it seems to work just fine.

I really like the second part...they play Plinko and the audience does NOT react like it's the second coming of Christ. It's so refreshing to see that.

But I get what you say...Drew just needs to find a way to make the show his own while still honoring Bob Barker. It's a balancing act and will take some time.

How is Drew doing in the ratings?
