Johnny Olson isn't my favorite announcer. He isn't even my favorite announcer named Johnny.

I've thought this myself. The mental health message is clearly more from his heart, and the end of the show doesn't need two PSAs. It made sense for him to do the spay/neuter plug when he first took over the show, the media would have spun it as an insult to Barker if he stopped doing it while Barker was still alive, and it would have been bad optics for him to have dropped it immediately after Barker died. But when season 54 debuts this fall, it will have been two years since Barker's passing... I think we're approaching the time Drew can retire the daily spay/neuter message.

Here's a "Which Came First?" Question from. The Barker Era:
• The Spay & Neuter sign-off, or
• The Adopt A Dog or Cat From Your Local Shelter segment that was occasionally featured during an IUFB?
Obviously Drew, to my knowledge, has never featured shelter pets in his era, but since Barker started it all, I think the overall awareness of pet population and adoption is commonplace now compared to 40-some years ago. Mental Health Awareness (in its various forms) needs to be more in the spotlight than pets, IMHO. Let Drew be the ambassador for that cause.

I'm nearly certain the sign-off came first. I haven't seen any episodes on the Barker Era channel that feature a doggie during an IUFB.

Yeah........I prefer Gilbert, but then again I am a loyal J! viewer.
As for me:
-"Talk About" is way up there in my list of favorite shows.
-(somewhat relevant to another active thread) I prefer "Super Password" over "Plus", and I do like what Bert brought to the table......even when he blew words/puzzles.
-I prefer Don Morrow as "Sale of the Century" announcer over Jay Stewart.
-Piggybacking off of DoItRockapella, I've never taken too much interest in *the original* WML?. Bruner/Blyden, yes.
-On that note, I have a slight fondness for the 1972 IGAS, preferring it over the original (though I'd take original IGAS over original WML? any day).
-Aww heck, I also prefer Moore/Garagiola TTTT, and even the 1990 series, over Collyer. Even the Ward version is likely to pique my interest as well.
-I liked TPIR a lot when I was little. Not so much nowadays. (*not* Drew's fault; heck, I barely watch The Barker Era streaming channel)
-I was excited for "Classic Concentration" to make it onto Buzzr, but I haven't watched it as much as I should. (though I was glued to the Narz eps, as well as "Talk About" and "Whew!")
-....and piggybacking from the above, Jack Narz should've gotten a lot more work.

Plinko is overrated and overplayed only because basically every single person who enters the studio wants to play it.
I would not be against playing it for $100K and only 7 times a year.

I actually prefer What's My Line over To Tell The Truth.
