Let's say the 30th season..and show a TPIR fanboi this picture, what would they say?
1. OMG, the show is going to make it to 45 years!
2. Where's Barker? Is he still hosting?
2. Why is there a big honkin' monitor in the back of the audience?
3. What did they do to contestant's row?
4. What the hell is #TBT?
5. OMG, they changed the seats back to blue!
5. Roger couldn't have approved that set change.

Who are those five in the upper right? Studio 33 has box seats now?
-
What happened to the set? Why all the G-T asterisks all over the place?! That's just overkill...the two red asterisks at center stage are enough!

I would think that the sheer shock would render them catatonic.

OMG, they must have brought Janice back because the show can't go on without her.

In 2001, they probably would have thought that was a *door* in the back of the house.

Just wait until they see the host has white hair, and realizes that not only is it not Bob Barker, but it's a skinnier version of a guy from a 2001 sitcom...

I haven't watched an entire show in a long time but I managed to see all six games yesterday. I saw people enjoying themselves and winning stuff. Other than the Ten Chances and Time is Money playings I thought they were all well done. I thought the social media angle was kinda slugged in ("You can hashtag #bling with these earrings") but by and large it was a pleasant and fun half hour.
I don't particularly care what the obsessives think if this is what the show is most of the time.
/don't look at the audience during a timed game!

Drew usually gives this very advice before any timed game, and yet, some don't heed.

25 THOUSAND if you hit $1.00 twice on the big wheel? Mo' Money Syndrome.

Notwithstanding that they basically accounted for inflation just like Jeopardy and Wheel, but most people would say "who's the doofus?" because Matthew Lesko more or less fell off the face of the earth.

Man he's aged! Has it really been that long?

I am not a member of GoldenRoad but are there really guys on there who have clinged to the hope over the years that Bob may come out of retirement and be brought back.
-
This show also had basically all "classic" music. I like those pieces but they felt really dated with the way the set and show are now.

No.

ADA-compliant seating - replacements for the camera platform that now has that raised logo. I think CBS might have gotten in trouble for that.
-
It's kind of frightening how much that picture of Matthew Lesko looks like Rod Roddy.

I watched a week or two ago, and noticed one of the old school car cues (Bean Stalker maybe?) being used, but remixed to sound modern. It actually sounded pretty good, considering I've found a lot of the more recent car cues sounded really generic. I'm guessing a lot of the newer cues are stock music?

Is this a zinger or did you forget it's an hour long show?

It's a half-hour of content, so no and no.

"If I could go back in time to 2001..."
Or, as some of us call it, the day before yesterday...

I don't know, I always thought he looked like Maury Povich. Even today.

As I said when was first hired...if you REALLY want to watch heads explode, don't forget to tell them (us) that the guy who insulted ATGS members on "Extreme Gong" is now the announcer.

Wiki says he'll be 74 next month. I figured he was maybe in his 30s or 40s when he did those commercials. Who knew?
