‘Price Is Right’ Fans Want Show To Stop ‘Living In The Past’
The Price is Right fans still love the long-running game show, but many fans feel it is time for a change. Many blame Drew Carey, even through he is only the series host. However, as far as these fans are concerned, the game show is living in the past and needs to be updated for modern-day audiences.
Here is what these fans had to say about the popular game show.
Price Is Right Fans Want Show Updated
The Price is Right is still one of the most popular game shows on daytime television. However, many fans are getting tired of the same old games. They are also tired of a format that hasn’t changed in decades, and some blame host Drew Carey. These fans want change.

A TV insider said that The Price is Right is falling behind other popular game shows because it isn’t changing enough for modern-day audiences (via U.S. Sun). The insider said that many people are starting to look at the game show as “throwback television” rather than something that fits in with today’s modern game shows.
There have been some changes in the format since its revival in 1972, but mostly it is the same show with the same games. The source said that the show relies “on mini-games and format quirks that have hardly changed in a half-century.” There are many viewers who agree, saying some games are “too tough,” “unlucky,” or otherwise “unfair.”
This includes games like Lucky Seven and 3 Strikes. Other fans hate Rat Race, and many wonder why the show has been unwilling to update the games and bring in new options.
Drew Carey Loves The Price Is Right Format
The source says part of the problem is host Drew Carey. When he took over the hosting duties from Bob Barker, it was a dream come true for him. “I do think Drew is living in the past a bit by holding onto this gig for so many years, but he loves the format and has since he was a kid,” the source said.
However, this goes against what Carey said in the past. Carey said that he watched the show growing up, although he wasn’t a huge fan at first (via TODAY). “I kind of looked down on it, honestly.” With that said, he has fallen in love with game show hosting. He has now been on the show for 18 seasons and counting.
“Drew says he wants to keep this job for the rest of his career, and when you just look at the ratings, he’s still one of the biggest draws on daytime TV in the entire country,” the source said. As a result, things might not be changing anytime soon.
