Same here. I haven’t watched TPIR in like 25 years or more but it was kind of neat watching it end. I was pretty impressed with Bob not getting all weepy or emotional. He is a real pro.

Watched it this morning. I was happy to see someone who seemed deserving win right before Bob’s classy farewell.
Still, every time I think of Bob Barker, I think, “‘The price is wrong, bitch.” Damn you, Adam Sandler.

All right, I’ll be the first to say it: Something inside you said, “Come on down!”

From what I’ve gathered while reading your blog you’re single. So on a Friday night at the start of summer you’re staying in to watch TPIR? Maybe while chowing down on some Hola Fruita? Do I need to tell you there’s something wrong with that picture?

I have never watched TPIR. But I do understand that you have to watch a couple of seasons to really get it.

Actually, they go by different units of measurement on TPIR, it’s not figured in seasons, it’s figured in Showcase Showdowns.

I can’t believe you did that and you admitted to it.

I didn’t know that he appeared in _The Panic in Chernobyl_! Wow.
That was a great movie.

Oh, sorry — that’s the movie’s release name. The production name was _That Place in Russia_, TPIR to the cognoscenti.

I’m with you on this one, John. Of course, I have a couple of small children, so I’m not going anywhere on Friday nights anyway. But, Bob Barker is just engrained as part of my childhood. I spent a fair number of lazy summer mornings in the 70s and early 80s watching The Price is Right. The show also reminds me of mornings when school was called off because of snow. And, Bob’s been at that job for a long, long time.
