Last night, I watched the final episode of The Price is Right before Bob Barker retires. I have to say I wasn't thrilled.

I think I expected more of a fanfare. The one showcase did claim to reflect "Bob's Illustrious Career", but that was about all. You'd think Bob would at least forego his usual sign-off of "Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered" to say, "goodbye" or "thanks for the memories" ... or maybe, "Tonight, just let your pets do it!!!".

I used to watch The Price is Right when I was in elementary school. I remember the people being excited, but not manic, which appeared to be the trend last night. Are drugging those people up or what?!?

I also really miss the original Price Is Right announcer, Rod Roddy, who God asked to "come on down" (or "up") in October of 2003.
