I seem to have found myself watching Bob Barker's last turn on The Price Is Right.

So I can say I was there, man.


The first contestant won a Corvette, and then they played Plinko. The place is going nuts.

Are you still watching it?

Please do a play-by-play if time permits.

I've hearing a slow, minor-key version of the theme song in my mind.

Aw, dammit, I'm missing it! Maybe I should call home and ask if someone can record the last 20 minutes for me. It was my 'soap opera' when I was a little girl (my nanny always watched Y&R, which was her soap opera, so I had to include myself somehow).

Whee! Thanks for the heads-up. I picked it up in time for the second showcase showdown.

The episode is being rerun tonight at 8 ET (7 CT) just before the Daytime Emmys.

I missed it? Son of a bitch. I loved watching that show.

Back when I was in college...must have been sophomore year, we did this stupid thing where each floor in our complex (4 dorms, all connected) picked a "name" pertaining to South Dakota and its history, blah blah blah. I can't even remember what our floor chose, other than it was in Sioux. But one of the other floors called themselves the "Bob Barker Floor" (as Bob himself was born in...I believe it was Lemmon, South Dakota.) They all got tickets to the show over Spring Break, and one of the RAs made it to contestant's row.

Farewell, Bob Barker. You'll be missed.

(Also...is it bad that I recognized the dragon icon immediately, even though I should be too young to remember the show? Thank you, syndication!)

Someone tell me I wasn't the only one to get misty-eyed from the get-go.

It had to have been the energy in that studio. Every time someone got to "come on down!", it was as if the person had just won a seat on the last boat to heaven.
