I think it’s safe to say that today is one of the most anticipated days for game show fans such as you all in quite some time. Today on CBS, we will see Drew Carey officially become the new host of The Price is Right. Reviews are coming in and they are quite glowing as of now. But critics don’t count. The viewers do. What did you all think of Drew’s hosting?

I never ever want to see computerized scoreboards, its why most new game shows don’t succeed … but the freshening of everything else was great .. Freemantle had cut the show to the bone so bad .. bob couldn’t catch his breath having to hurry ..the plugs were even down to 2 seconds ..so long love TPIR!
drews a real boar hard to watch
The Member of Red Sox Nation in me must come out here.
Who wants to bet that Drew was at 33 today bumming a little about his Indians?
We love ya Drew, but………GO SOX!
I think Drew Carey is doing a fine job as a host so far; he does have this habit of talking too fast, but he does a good job of making the contestants the stars of the show. Overall the flaws are few and the show seens to be in good hands. Bob Barker’s presence will be missed but I have a feeling that the Price will go on with Drew at the steering wheel.
P.S. IMO Fremantle has mostly made up for ruining “Temptation.”
With all this talk of announcers, why not that talented Rich Jeffries fellow. He’d be fun and his come on down would be great!!! There’s one name that should be drawn out of a hat.
I really enjoy Drew at the driver seat. We finally get to see the interaction with the models, something the last 6.5 years have been severely lacking. And with Dismantle at the helm, I’m pleasantly surprised the changes were cosmetic. I was fully expecting them to F*** this up like they did with Bullard’s CS and Burger’s Match Game. And I fully expected them to pick a really awful host like:
Patrick (YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU WWWWWIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN!!!!!) Wayne
Louie (Can you speak more clearly?) Anderson
Or Richard (I’M GONNA DOUBLE THE SHOWCASES!!!!) Karn.
