A TV Squad interview with Drew Carey. (http://\"http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/24/perfect-showcase-bid-was-a-dark-day-on-the-price-is-right-say/\") He doesn't pull many punches, and more or less says the "funny" showcases weren't the best idea. Good read.

Thanks for the link. That *is* really interesting, and it certainly explains some of the reactions around here to the OMG CHAAAAAAAAANGE.

I thought the interview was fine. More like a conversation than an actual interview, which seemed to work well for Drew's style. What I noticed most was that Drew was really cool and tactful while still being candid about golden-road. I mean let's face it, g-r had initially become HateDrewCarey.con when he started hosting, but in spite of that Drew was very diplomatic about it and handled the subject very well I thought.
The other thing I noticed was the response to this 'interview'. Both g-r and gsn were predominantly positive about it. Sure there were a few of the "Drew is controlling the show and he fired our beloved Roger" harpies on g-r (exagerating for effect - but not much), but on gsn it was mostly positive response. In all I'm sensing a change in attitude in alot of the "OMG, CHAAAAAAANGE!" b0is toward Drew, and especially this new season, and I think the audience and fans in general are ready to embrace Drew and enjoy Price, just because it's a great game show.
