He'll tape his last show in June, although CBS hasn't announced the air date of his final daytime show.) I don't believe U are watching his last show...in fact my son has tickets for his show next week.. |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 1365 Registered: Dec-06 | When Bob Barker took over "The Price is Right" in 1972, The U.S. was negotiating with North Vietnam for a cease-fire. Nixon was about to defeat George McGovern for a second term in the White House, even while under the cloud of the growing Watergate scandal. Mark Spitz had just won seven Olympic gold medals in swimming. ATARI was launched. David Bowie unleashed "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars." I have to stop for a moment to digest the vision of Bob Barker and David Bowie (in high androgyny) side by side. In other words, the dude is ooooold. His hair was white before Anderson Cooper had any. The Cadillac DeVille he might have given away would have cost $6,168. So how did the avuncular Barker last 50 years on CBS Corp. (NYSE: CBS)? By tapping into two wellsprings flowing through American society -- our obsessive need to have more stuff, and our hope that someone would magically give us the stuff we wanted. Before the government took on the role of sugar daddy, we looked to television for such beneficence. While greed was the subtext, the show never made us feel stupid. Bob didn't care if we knew the capital of Paraguay, as long as we had a notion what a walnut dinner set from the good people at Thomasville cost. He also never treated his contestants as idiots, although many were. His bulletproof alabaster smile was something viewers could count on, year after year. Barker and his show seem like relics of another age, the age of limitless abundance. But damn, he made consumerism fun. I hope, behind the curtain labeled "retirement," Barker finds the treasure of his dreams. |

Gold Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 6896 Registered: Jun-06 | Don't forget Springer. When I was young it was Hollywood squares, match game, Joker's wild, The Newlywed game, Let's make a deal, Press your luck, Family feud (Richard Dawson version), The Gong show, and both $10 and $20,000 pyramid. I kept thinking my Mother was going bananas watching all her daytime soaps. I refuse to list them.  |

Gold Member Username: John_sColumbus, Ohio US Post Number: 1601 Registered: Feb-04 | Watching Springer reminds me why the gene pool needs a lifeguard. To think that Springer was once the mayor of Cincinnati. |

Gold Member Username: LklivesPost Number: 9685 Registered: Jan-06 | There is no way that Springer's guests and show is an act...those people are really that STUPID...we all must know a couple of stupid low life people that are retarded like the ones on the show (maybe not friends but have met retards like them)...those people would have to be the greatest actors in the world for that to be an act...no, I believe that those are really honest to goodness REAL DUMB people who like the free trip for the show's filming and honestly believe that Jerry's show will solve their issues..I know wrestling is a hoax and act, but Springer guests are real MORONS!...lmao! hell, ever since I moved from Massachusetts to Florida, I see them type people everywhere...I love Florida, but there are many derelicts running loose down here ..and if U ever traveled thru Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana, they're everywhere...obviously NOT all from those states are morons but, they have a huge market on that type..lol |
