That goes double for me! I applaud Claudia for saying what she did. To actually say what many of us are thinking is very refreshing to see. That interview was very well done.

I for one don't give a **** about what happens behind the scenes of TPiR. As long as it doesn't affect the game in any way, I don't see why I have to slap Bob on the wrist for his so-called makeout with his female co-workers, whether it be Claudia or someone else that has already left.
What matters in the end is that The Price is Right is still fun to watch, despite what some people here might say otherwise. I never even bother trying to memorize the names of the new models, and I don't see how gameplay has been greatly affected by all these backstage scandals.
As long as it goes like that, that's fine with me.

You are right..... Game Play hasn't been effected by what goes on behind the scenes. Unfortunately the fun of the show has been greatly effected. Anyone who remembers watching the show 20 years ago will remember The Price Is Right being much more than your typical Game Show. The program had a family feel to it. Bob would interact much more with the contestants. He would also invite all the models on stage and chat with them every so often. The Showcases used to entail funny skits which often involved the models and then announcer Johnny Olsen. At Christmas time the models were always dressed up in sexy Santa's Helpers Suits. Bob used to also allow anyone who won a perfect bid Bonus to reach into his pocket to get the money themselves. These are only some of the many things that made the show a lot of fun to watch. It used to be a 60 Minute party. Now it's just 60 Minutes of going through the motions. It's a watered down version of what existed 20 years ago. It may officially be the same show........ but at the same time...... It's Not Really The Same Show.

I agree with you John. The show isn't quite the same, although I still enjoy it greatly. But part of the family-cuts are that "almighty dollar" because with more commercials and less airtime, something had to give. And like I posted at gr-net, I'd rather see less chatter than 4 PG's instead of 6 or no Contestant's Row so there can be "more chatter."

I hear a lot of people say that same thing. Can anyone clue me in on exactly how many minutes of commercials there are now compared to twenty years ago? Is there really that much difference?
