When I was growing up, I loved the chance moments when I got to watch “The Price is Right” with Bob Barker. It was the only good thing about staying home sick. I did not miss an episode when I could. I planned my whole day around the show during the summer. I played along (and my stuffed animals did, too). And I memorized his closing remarks: “Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered.” I think that was the first time I was even exposed to those words.
On this date in 2007, the final show with Bob Barker as the host aired on television. And so ended his remarkable 35-year career. His closing words (before his signature remarks), were: “Folks, I want to thank you very, very much for inviting me into your homes for the last fifty years. I am deeply grateful.” Nothing against any fans of Drew Carey, but I did not enjoy him as host of the show. Nothing can top Bob Barker in my book.

I too loved the show. I’m not a huge fan with Drew Carey, it’s just not the same.
