The board, as a whole, doesn't have a position.  Unless I've severely misjudged things, most of us are taking the same approach you are: we're giving him a chance.  Early reports indicate that he's making a good-faith effort, at least.

You think they're idiots?  There are people on other boards who have been calling for Drew's head from before day one -- in fact, from the moment his name was announced.

Why? Rich isn't even good at his OWN job. Why the HELL would he be any better as host?

Rich is a freaking tool.  He needs to lay off the Red Bull.

i say lets give him til feb[/quote] Explain to me how you arrived at this figure. What is it that makes February the point of no return? I think he's either going to be good out of the gate and stay good, or he'll be awful, with little improvement.

If Drew is entertaining, I'll watch. If he's not, I won't. It's that easy.

And yet John O'Hurley is a better candidate? Not to mention the fact that Mr. Peterman already has a gig?

And I shall form the line of people who would like to abduct Rich Fields and lock him up in a padded cell with nary a microphone to be seen.

To me, that would explain the problem right there.

Heck, that same thing happened when thousands of people wanted Dave Price's head when he was first rumoured to be the new host of The Price Is Right...

...but, of course, that was justifiable!!!   ;-P

Geez, what's with all the Rich bashing?  Are you just biased because Randy  happens to posts here?  Rich may not be the best announcer in the world, but there are far worse.

[/quote]No, he gets bashed because (IMO)he's a lousy announcer. If Rich posted here, I'd say the same thing. If Randy was announcing TPiR and was lousy, I'd express a similar sentiment.

Wait, no bias here. Being a weatherman qualified him to do announcing on TPIR??? I don't like his speech pattern. Sorry...I grew up with John Harlan, Jack Clark, Charlie O, Charlie Tuna, Rod Roddy, Johnny Gilbert and the three greatest of all time:Gene Wood, Johnny Olson and Don Pardo.  He ain't any of them.

Frankly, Ira Joe Fisher would do a better job! Randy and Burton do a great job and should be the Goodson/Fremantle staff announcers.
