Look, junkaholic, I understand what you mean, but I think you are over-reacting a bit.
First of all, I agree with you, that post that you quoted, that was totally out of line. You don't like the man, fine, but at least show some respect. However, there is something in your post that kinda bugs me. You seem to this that everyone here turned his coat on Barker.
There will never be another Bob Barker. He's the reason why this show lasted this long, and we wouldn't be talking about this on this website if it wasn't for him. I will never take away what he's done.
But Bob is gone. He retired. We all have to move on. It's Drew's time now, and I have to say, honestly, that in this day and age, I think he's doing a much better job at connecting with younger people than Bob did, and I'm saying that with all due respect. Times are always changing, and if Drew is still the host in 35 years, and he retires, the new host will also be able to connect more with younger folks. Anyway, I digress...
My point is, junkaholic, I do not mean any disrespect, here, but you seem to be mad at us for not idolizing Bob. I believe that we should be allowed to say that Drew is doing a heck of a job, that we should point out that Bob, as great as he's been on camera, might not have been a role-model off-camera, and that, as legendary as he's been, he was due for retirement (remember all those senior moments last year). All of that doesn't mean that we don't think Bob was the W.G.M.C., we are just able to see it from an objective point of view, something that, judging from your post and several others, doesn't seem to be your case (again, no offense ...).
After all, this is a "The Price Is Right" website, not a "I heart Bob Barker" website. There is more to The Price Is Right than just the host...
