But...but...how will I know the reasonable retail price of a bar of soap anymore?

The price is wrong... bitch.

Bob Barker is the Johnny Carson of game shows. I hope he still gets Barker's Beauties in retirement.

What will we all watch during those lonely days of being home sick? *sets self up for random porn references*
Lag used to be a lot worse back in the day. Hell, it took Jesus 3 days to respawn.

Does that mean the last show will be an actual Showcase Showdown? With guns and cowboys and stuff?

He's still alive? I guess I didn't really win the celebrity death pool a couple years ago.

Yeah, 83 is pushing it. You know what's next....
I keed, I keed.
All this science I don't understand. It's just my job five days a week.
Bob Barker is a cyborg - albeit a lovable, price-quoting cyborg. Thoughts on syndication? I predict that show will syndicate very successfully.

Yeah. How can you tell whether it's the present or the past?

Good question - probably which dead announcer is calling people to "come on down!"
"In general forums are forum's for the mentally challenged."
He said he'd take on a movie role if the right one came along, but filmmakers, take note: "I refuse to do nude scenes. These Hollywood producers want to capitalize on my obvious sexuality, but I don't want to be just another beautiful body."
XD
Yet even then we ran like the wind,
whilst our laughter echoed under cerulean skies...
If you believe some of the allegations made by former Barker's Beauties, Bob's a bit of a sex fiend. If only we're all the frisky when we hit our eighties.

I hope I'm not. I won't be rich or on TV, so my chances to canoodle with anyone under seventy range from zero to none. And the idea that my days of wanking would last some 67 years just seems wrong to me.
That's the second time today I've seen that word. What is this canoodling you speak of, and how do I get the ladies to do it with me?

Who will tell me to have my pets spayed or neutered now?

More importantly, what sap has the balls enough to take Barker's spot knowing that if he falters even the least he'll be shot on sight by the angry mid-30s mothers wearing "I <3 BOB BARKER" shirts?

I have to admit that I thought the same thing - I've always liked Bob, but I thought he died about a decade ago. The fact that he's still alive, and still hosting a show that I always used to watch with a guilty pleasure when I skipped school as a child.... not sure how that makes me feel. There's nothing quite like being an only child, sitting at home 'sick from school', playing video games and watching TPiR, Mr. Belvedere, Small Wonder, Diff'rnt Strokes, and Punky Brewster, then making sure to look sick and sad when the parents return from work later in the day. I guess other kids were out shoplifting, or dirt-bike riding, or stealing kisses from the bad girls down at the ice-cream-and-tattoo-parlor, but I was content to fix some popcorn, watch a few hours of inane TV, and play video games, before working my 'sickness' up before my parents made it home.

As Elysium put it in an article from a few year's back:
"Bob Barker's uncanny ability to side step time....." is so very true.

I agree.
Though, I can't say I blame Bob for being frisky with all of this [NSFW] going on.

My Price is Right story :
My aunt works for the actors guild or something another in LA so she knows a few people in the biz. (She say's Mr. T is the nicest celeb she's ever dealt with, she always gets me a bunch of stuff from him) anyways, a friend and I were spending a week with in Santa Monica/LA and my aunt scored us V.I.P tickets to the show. Normally, crazy price is right fans camp out days to get into the audience, but we were able to go right in an hour before the taping, got a cool tour of the backstage and front row seats, right behind the contestant podium things. Bob Barker was completely awesome, very very funny and a real pleasure just to be in his presence. He spent alot of time just talking with the audience, letting people come up and take pictures, hugs, sing songs together, everything. All either before or after the actual show was taped. Probably spends 2-3 times the time it takes to do a show just interacting with everybody and entertaining. This is sad he's retiring, but I'm really glad I got the opprotunity to see it in person. Wasn't really a fan of the show or anything, but this guy really is one of a kind and it was a great experience.
Congrats Bob!
Cool Bob fact from Wikipedia
-Barker trained and earned his black belt in the martial arts with action celebrity and famous black belt Chuck Norris.

Canoodling is the same as schtupping. And if I knew the answer to your second question I wouldn't be on this board. I'd be out canoodling.
That sounds like my childhood. Minus the only child part and insert oldest child.
