Subject: Who still watches the Price is Right?

Written By: bchris02 on 09/23/17 at 8:17 pm

I just discovered that the Price is Right is actually still on.  I thought it ended sometime back in the '00s.  Who still watches it?  Is it mostly the 70+ crowd?

I'm 31 and I watch it cause it's usually on the tv in the lobby when I go to dialysis. You've never seen so many people waiting for the 700 Club to go the fudge off so PIR can start.
I like Drew Carey but no one can match Bob Barker. I grew up with Bob. And Drew has been hosting the show for the last ten years since Bob retired. LOL.

Oh, is it???  I was sure it would've ended by now; this is awesome!

I used to watch TPIR as a teen, but as I got busier with work and stuff, I quit watching.  And I'm also 31.  Maybe it seems like it's mostly 70+ because of all the ads for seniors. lol

My wife. Who might as well be the 70+ crowd, because she exclusively listens to music from the 1960s and 70s. To her, '80s is "modern."

I would say so, but I have never watch "The Drew Carey Show", but have seen many WLIIA.

I still watch it occasionally. Ever since Drew Carey took over as emcee ten years ago, there have been some notable changes... particularly with the sets/props, including those used for pricing games. A lot of them are more high-tech now... and there have been a few new pricing games (some of which I might know cold, given that I don't see it on a regular basis anymore).

He was apparently the original host on the 1972 nighttime version, which was syndicated.

Hosting the daytime version, just as he did for the next 35 years (that is, until retiring in 2007).
