With host Rikki Lake. Now, they're going to be recreating six classic game shows over the summer with Hollywood celebrities including:

Wed 5/31: The Price Is Right
Thu 6/1: Let's Make a Deal
Wed 6/7: Beat the Clock
Thu 6/8: Press Your Luck
Thu 6/15: Card Sharks
Thu 6/22: Match Game
Thu 6/29: Family Feud

I watched the Price is Right one. Now, recreating that show is easy. Why? It's still on. Now I used to be a big Game Show fan (retired with Millionaire died), but Bob Barker is the fu*king man. Rikki did an okay job, but nobody is fu*king Bob Barker, period. I just don't like them trying to act like the show is buried when it's still going. Rumor has it Bob is going to retire after this next season, and I think the show should go with him, but I will say they at least did the show right on this prime time thing. We'll see about the others. I'm a picky asshole when it comes to this stuff.

I agree. I think if Bob Barker leaves PiR then it should just go out with him. He made the show what it is, and it would be wrong to have another host. I mean Meridth Viera replacing Regis was bad enough...

No, no, no. The Price is Right is soulless without Bob Barker. This cannot be.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-05-2006, 03:21 AM

Oh man, that was bad. Very bad. Meridth "gossip queen" Viera ruined that show. Bah, this is why I quit Game shows. Nobody does it like the old guys did.

Does Bob Barker still do the daytime version? I agree with you guys..he IS Price is Right.

*Masked Ninja* · 06-05-2006, 12:21 PM

Agreed. Bob Barker is Price is Right. Meredith does OK on Millionaire (I find her a lot less irritating than Mr. Intensity Philbin) but you canNOT replace Bob. Ever.

I watch The Price is Right every morning. Why make a new version when the original is perfectly fine? That's just fraking lame.

And Family Feud...that show has had what 4 different hosts? Current one is whatshisface from Home Improvement...Al Boreland...

I liked it better with Louie Anderson.

And I liked Louie Anderson better on Life With Louie.

You know, I actually tried to watch this "Gameshow Marathon" crap specifically since Leslie Nielsen was in it (being a huge Naked gun fan I am). But the dude kept losing, and he's out of the show completely now, so eff that.

I don't like game shows, except for Jeopardy... and to a lesser extent Hollywood squares (sometimes they had a Muppet on it). Price is Right... I just wish it died in the 60's when Bill Cullen was hosting it. It's loud, garish, tacky... and the contestants are so fat. Hate Wheel of fortune as well.

I hope aftr Barker, the series takes a nose dive and finally ends.
