Drew on "The Insider"

[unk257]

Not annoying in the least..but to each his own opinion..

I found the new set quite interesting to say the least...it looks bright and the color scheme is similar to the MDS...

I also found Drew's antics from what I saw  on ET  and this here totally different and refreshing. When did you see a game show host embrace a contestant aka..the Million Dollar Winner on the Power of 10 or the Dice Game Here..

I'll have to watch a few shows to make the final judgement until he gets relaxed etc....personally I think he's getting into the groove...

There have been a lot of naysayers on the board..I say at least give the Man a chance....he has big shoes to fill...

Regards
Al

Drew will do a great job on the show, but I will always will know the price is right with bob barker.  Like everyone else, I will just have to get used to carey hosting.  It will be different.

[unk257]

I definitely agree.

UNK,

I see we are the only 2 online. After watching the Insider, they were suppose to have the weekend edition with TPIR secrets. I watched and looked here in our cable and could not find it. If you saw it today, would you please email me the clip?

Thanks,
luckymee

It IS different. The second verse especially--I don't quite know how to describe it but there's some big differences coming in the second verse.

For my brother and I, the first clue that this was definitely the new theme came around 1:48 in the online video - there's some scooping in the melody when it goes from C to G.  Compare that to the :27/:28 mark in the original theme, where the melody is regular.
Also, there is definitely an ascending harp glissando going into the bridge/B section that wasn't there in the original theme.

Personally, I found that a bit annoying.

I'm glad we weren't the only ones who had the same thought.

This really isn't "sudden" at all.  People routinely clapped along with the Family Feud theme in the 70s.  It happened in almost every episode of Fandango in the 80s.

Let's be glad that hand jive hasn't taken hold, like it did on the Brit version of Blockbusters...

Any help on this will be very much appreciated. I stayed up last night and finally saw "The Insider" weekend edition but they did not even show Donnie and Marie or Drew Carey with TPIR as advertised.

Thanks again guys!

Well yes, but Fandango was a music game show.  That makes a little more sense.

These days it seems it's a requirement to clap or dance to the theme.  On Family Feud they clap ALL the time not just at the end of the show. On Temptation they dance to the music coming back from breaks. They made celebrities in Hollywood Squares dance to the theme music.  Martin Mull would refuse to do it, and after seeing Chuck Woolery do it during game show week, Chuck should have refused too!

It all just seems a bit silly, and the Price theme doesn't seem catchy enough to clap along to.

That being said, I'll admit there are much worse things to worry about in the world.

There is a countdown clock on the main page, it shows the time left until the show debuts in Eastern Time.

Ah, yes, I see it now that I have finally scrolled down to the bottom of the page.  Thanks, GRFanatic.

Though I must say I'm not surprised people were clapping at the end of the show, I'm hoping it doesn't become a regular thing. It is out of place, IMO, for the clapping as the theme isn't that upbeat. As long as it doesn't become regular practice to clap along to the Cliffhangers theme, it won't really bother me much.

That's already been happening for several years, hasn't it?

I don't know if anyone has seen this or not, but there was a episode of the "Late-Late show with Craig Ferguson" where Bob, Rich and the Beauties come in and trash Craig's set.  After it's over, Rich turns to the camera and says "stick around, we'll be right back with (insert guest here)"

Here's the link to the Late Late Show clip:

i'd have to admit, fieldsfan, that when i saw that "The Insider" clip, i was just as happy as can be to see Rich at the end of that clip
