As long as they don't replace Drew Carey with Joe Pasquale, I think I'm going to be just fine.

I like Drew Carey and think he's doing a great job on TPIR.

I really don't understand why some people here dislike him so much. Seriously, what did he do?

He became the host, and apparently that's enough for some.

For most of those that do, I'm willing to bet the common answer is "he took over for Bob Barker."

(For the record, I'm not in that group. I think he's doing the best he can and doing pretty good so far.)

I'm sure a lot of you are hoping Drew Carey won't be replacing Roger as producer; if that's the case somehow, things could really get interesting.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that nobody even remotely thought of that scenario, including Drew Carey.

There has to be some middle ground between "The Sky is Falling" and "What Problem?"

Is this a cause for concern?  Probably.  How big of a problem is it really?  Probably not all that much.

There is no rationalizing this. The only silver lining is that the show is in the very capable hands of recently-promoted Kathy, Stan and Sue, but I don't look for any of them to be promoted to full producer.

you really think any of them are safe if a new "outside" producer (hint less $$) is being brought in???
[/quote]
Then why would they have been promoted when Barker left? Somebody has to perform the grunt work of putting on the show, and they know that aspect of it. Personally I think it will be Syd, Kathy, Stan and Sue and that's all.

I am going to keep an open mind for this, but this is worrying to some of us.  Particularly for these two reasons.

1.  Fremantle's credo of "change for change's sake".

2.  Never learning from their past mistakes (or taking a really long time to fix them, e.g. 7 years for the current Family Feud).

I can already image the thread comparing the new PIR producer to Harry "Never met a gimmick he didn't like" Friedman.

[quote name=\'PYLdude\' post=\'189591\' date=\'Jul 3 2008, 07:31 PM\']I know, never let facts get in the way of your dislike of someone...

EDIT: Perhaps I omitted some words I should've said, like "a lot of" before viewers. But still, as far as I'm concerned the point is the same.[/quote]
I had a response, but it's not worth it. Shouldn't have said anything in the first place. Carry on.

I can't tell if this will put an end to the ridiculous "the dob" worshiping or if this will just further solemnify his status among the gods.

[quote name=\'Steve Gavazzi\' post=\'189559\' date=\'Jul 3 2008, 05:30 PM\']  It's getting beaten by The View.

I had a feeling that "The View" is beating "The Price Is Right" among Women 18-49, but what about overall viewers?

Because we don't take insults well?  The confirmation of what happened was welcome, calling us "first-graders" wasn't.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.
