Me and Bob Barker - We Go Way Back

Parent Bloggers is asking us to remember our favorite game shows today. The first one that pops into my head is The Price is Right. Everything about it enthralled me. From Bob's skinny little microphone to the sparkly $1.00 on the wheel, and every price guessing game in between. I'm pretty sure I learned practical economics from that show. And then there were the Hollys - I was completely captivated by the enthusiasm with which the models carressed cars and washing machines. What little girl growing up in the 70s didn't aspire to be a Price is Right model? Surely that wasn't just me....

Sometimes at the dentist The NEW Price is Right will be on. My kids get all mesmerized. And sometimes during summer break they find it on TV at home. I can't sit still for it anymore. However, I do still enjoy the catchy tune. And I can still hear old Bob in my head....

Hey there - I posted on The Price is Right! Loved that show when I was a kid! Didn't expect the flack about my age though. Ha! Have a good one!

I loved the Price is Right! Just in case I ever made it to the show in person, I would practice "comin' on down" to my place on contestants row. He was the best and wasn't a perv like Richard Dawson of Family Feud kissing on all the ladies.

Bob rocks. Ain't no denying. I totally forgot about pervy Dawson, but I watched that one too. Those shows were so much more wholesome than what we've got today.

Okay - now I do sound old...
