CMON DOWN!

Drew Carey SUCKS on the Price is Right. Its not a show I watch, but occasionally I will catch a few minutes of it. Today I saw about 5 minutes, and really that was all I needed to see. It was just at the point of the showcase showdown. Drew was so stiff, there was no hype in his voice it was all very monotone. He lacks the enthusiasm that that kind of show needs. He is no Bob Barker, that's for sure. Granted that means Drew will probably not be sued for sexual harassment from the Barker Beauties. I like Drew Cary. I think he's good for a funny sitcom, but who ever came up with him being the next Bob Barker was nuts. I get that Bob had to go, he's like 130 years old. Poor old chap deserves some retirement before he takes his long winters nap. Im not sure who I would have picked, but theres got to be somebody better. I just cant see Drew being there for another 50 years. I dont think he will last long at all. Seems to me they should have done what Regis did when Kathy Lee left. They should have had "guest" hosts and test them out before deciding who's to fill those big shoes. Obviously that worked, as Kelly Ripa is his perfect match for a cohost. Im so glad that when I went to LA and saw an episode of the Price is Right, it was with the real Bob, not the wanna be Bob.

Who knew you were so passionate about Bob Barker?

Im really not, but you have to admit, he is an icon. I just dont think Drew Carey measures up to Bobs status. I maean what about Chuck Woolery? He's a game show icon, why wasnt he considered? Or maybe Pat Sajack. Loose Vanna, and Pat Sajack, come on down!

Oh, Please!! This is Drews 1st week. Wouldnt you be stiff as a board, too if you had to follow in Bobs footsteps? Of course, now give him a chance. He is awesome on Power of 10 and I think he will do just fine w/ The Price is Right w/ enough time to make it his own. It will never again be the show we grew up w/ but whos to say our children wont grow up w/ Drew Carey as host? And whos to say he wont be iconic to them? Step back, mama jama and let history happen...
