Bravo!
It certainly deserves it. TPIR is in its 50th season, with the actual 50th anniversary coming up in September.
Thoughts? In spite of its flaws, TPIR is still a fun hour of daily entertainment. Most of the show is true to its roots, with some nice visual upgrades to modern times.
Drew Carey is a solid host, and he has made the show his own, building on the Bob Barker foundation of the first 35 years.
More commercial time was added several years ago, so the show often seems rushed. Contests scream way too much, even before they've won anything. I'm sure that's at the urging of producers. Drew has ditched the tie. He has a beard and longer hair. I think he looks sloppy, but to each, his own. The wheel spin bores me to tears, and that's when I usually refill my iced tea glass or check emails. Showcases have become a bit more extravagant, and it appears they rely less and less on Plinko, an overplayed game.
Watching people win cars never gets old.
Congratulations, TPIR!
