During the Bob Barker era, the show was so much better. They purposely left behind a bunch of patterns for dilligent viewers (loyal friend and true) to memorize and improve their chances of winning, giving us a sense of skill and accomplishment. Bob Barker knew how to work up the excitement.
Then came the dark times, the Drew Carey era. When Terry Kneiss skillfully got a perfect bid on the showcase showdown, Drew Carey and Fremantle Media decided to be jerks about it. They refused to give Terry a standing ovation,
Bob Barker would have declared Terry a hero, an all time champion.
Today, The Price Is Right has been transformed from a game of blackjack and poker, to a stupid slot machine, where morons can win big with dumb luck.
All the patterns are now gone. There is zero incentive to watch the show ahead of time. All they care about is hype and stupidity.
