Bob Barker reminds you to help control the pet population, and have your pets spayed or neutered!

I think I need to step back from these recaps for a while. I was able to get through this by searching for unusual contestant names, episode months, and other stand-outs using the Search function...but the results lists are getting longer and longer. Even without that problem, I'm feeling a little burned out anyway.

I can share my own list of gray-haired era episodes that have been recapped on the site along with their episode number by private message if anyone else wants to do some recaps but is afraid to post a duplicate. (I still have to add just a few more episode numbers for weeks I haven't explored yet.)

I really do hope that the section is split into individual seasons soon, because that will make searching a lot easier.

I think that's a great idea.
