The Price Is Right – == Is Stuck In The Past

According to an insider associated with the game show, Drew Carey won’t change with the times. He feels responsible for keeping The Price Is Right close to the original. An insider closer to the show asked, “Where’s the innovation?” Even viewers are getting sick of the same format.

Drew Carey is “shockingly traditional” with the game show. Some fans feel it’s becoming more like “throwback TV.” Bill Todman and Mark Goodson rebooted the classic 1950s game show in 1972 with host Bob Barker. The game show has aired over 9,000 episodes since its debut.

The Price Is Right has undergone some changes over the years. For example, there are bigger cash and prizes involved. But the show has kept many of its classic games. The source told The U.S. Sun that the CBS program still relies “on mini-games and format quirks that have hardly changed in a half-century.”

Fans of The Price Is Right have shared their thoughts on the recent episodes. Recently, viewers were disappointed with Lucky Seven and 3 Strikes.

They argued these games were “too tough” or “unfair” to the contestants. Other fans find other mini-games such as the Rat Race “creepy.” They begged producers to pull these segments from the show.

Drew Carey – Doesn’t Want to Make Changes

Drew Carey recently sat down for an interview about his time on the show. He revealed he has no intentions of retiring. Drew wants to host The Price Is Right for as long as he can. He’s also happy with the game show’s formula as well.

“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,” an insider told The U.S. Sun.

Drew Carey is the biggest attraction for the show. That’s not going to change. The Price Is Right is currently the third most popular game on CBS, according to US TVDB. The show attracts 3 to 4 million people per day. However, the game show still has yet to attract a younger generation of viewers.
