I watched Bob Barker do his thing for the last time tonight on The Price Is Right. Rob asked if Bob cried at the end (he didn’t), but I sure wanted to cry. It’s the end of an era. Hard to believe this show has been on for almost 35 years. I learned a little bit of trivia tonight, too – the show debuted on Rob’s 1st birthday in 1972.
Bob’s last episode was fairly anti-climatic. No one won the showcase showdown and no one spun the wheel for a million. They did play a couple of my favorite games, though, including Cliff Hangers. Good times. Hard to believe I’ll never stay home from school work again and be able to watch TPIR with Bob as the host. Well, maybe on the Game Show Network one day, but that’s not the same.
We’ll miss you, Bob.
Cliff Hanger was one of my favorites too!
I watched it too and teared up. He’s a television icon! Plinko was my favorite game, I was bummed they didn’t play it last night.
