sacker12 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 CBS redesigned the set to the Price Is Right with Drew Carey taking over as host. I like it. I think it looks modern, but yet it keeps a lot of it's classy nostalgia intact.http://www.cbs.com/daytime/price/slideshow...x.php?id=101_01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Glad to see they're keeping the same (if not, it's pretty close) wordmark and dollar sign. It's a nice way to link the Barker-era to the Carey-era. I'm also glad to see that the colors got a nice upgrade from the mostly pink & blue schematic that was established during the latter days of Barker's tenure.

RyanB06 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Wow...they managed to make a throwback set look even more so. If you imagined what TPIR might have looked like if this incarnation aired in the early-to-mid 1960s, this is it.This is a fantastic way to break stylistically with the Barker era but still be TPIR.

cyandlux Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Drew is no Bob. I will not be watching. I don't care for the retro thing. Remember Price in primetime? The ones with the old "new" host, Mark, from KTLA Morning News???? That woulda been sweet. Aaaahhhhhhh, for not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones with the old "new" host, Mark, from KTLA Morning News???? That woulda been sweet. Aaaahhhhhhh, for not.Unless you're talking about Doug Davidson from Young and the Restless and the failed half-hour version from the mid-'90s, I have no earthly clue what you're talking about.

xnylived Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I was hoping they would update the set/props but still maintain that campy nostalgic feel to them. I think they did a terrific job of blending the past and the present. I wonder how far they went, did they make changes to the big wheel too?

illwauk Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I guess I'm with everyone else... it'll still feel like TPIR while acknowledging that it's a new era.BTW, I vaguely remember another version from the mid-80's with someone other than Barker hosting. It was pretty much the same show, different host. Not that mid-90's poser version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I can't believe they still hand paint all that stuff.Its cool they do, but its very surprising. Most of that stuff these days would be direct printed on vinyl or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB61 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 There was a brief nighttime version with Tom Kennedy hosting somewhere in the mid-'80s, I think.Indeed, and Kennedy is the man.I think the design is spot on. It's different, but classic. The different colors are a tie-in to the old set, which also had random colors about.I'm excited about it. I love Drew Carey (though he does have a tendency to mumble through his bits). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 As long as they don't mess with that sweet theme song, they could do TPIR from inside a crackhouse and I'd still watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark your calendars, folks. October 15th! I know I'll be watching before class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgundy Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I think it looks pretty good. It still feels like TPIR, but it seems new too. Also, what kind of microfone will they be using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadmanLA Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 As long as they don't mess with that sweet theme song, they could do TPIR from inside a crackhouse and I'd still watch it.Wait until you tune in on Monday...you'll be somewhat surprised about the theme song.I'll be at work when it airs, but I do plan on recording it, just for curiousity's sake. I know that Drew Carey is no Bob Barker, but I'm willing to give him a chance, and he just might do a good job. That's unlike what's happened to Family Feud, and although the current version will match the number of years as Richard Dawson's tenure as host (9 years) by year's end, it's been a total disaster. Three different hosts, numerous set and logo changes, and the contestants are even more annoying than ever. To me, I think the fact that Dawson's (and Ray Combs') Family Feud still airs everyday on GSN has hurt the current version, because some people expect to be the same exact show.

sacker12 Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 If they use the version of the theme song that was on the preview on CBS's website, then it would be the current theme song with a disco beat to it. Also, Carey will the using the same style rod mike that Barker used in his final years on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckguy14 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Me too. You can never replace Bob, you just have to try a new look, and I think they wanted to do something different yet keep that retro field. FTR, there was also a night time version when the show was "new" in the 1970's, just think if this guy caught on:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga6zrLTXIgs 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoDey42 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Theres a video posted on YouTube by CBS of the new season. I think the set looks awesome and I think Drew will be a great host. He still has the long mic, the only difference is that its wireless.http://youtube.com/watch?v=MnVY5exh6Iw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
