LL: Doogie Howser M.D....COME ON DOWN!!

This was originally intended to be my first blog post, but with what im posting now, i think now would be more appropriate

So..."The Price Is Right" has been around for 35 years strong. The one game show (Not really) that people of all ages can watch and enjoy. youve seen the games and dont lie.. you've had to have watched the show at least once and wanted a chance to play Plinko for a chance at $50,000! Anyway the thing that makes TPIR the greatest hour on television isnt just the off the wall contestants, nor the thrill of watching someone winning a brand new car, but the shows emcee/Host...Bob Barker. Funny, Full of charismat Bob has become the God of all hosts. Sadly, as he is getting older, last year Bob decided to hang up his mic and retire from TPIR. To celebrate the 50 plus years of Bob's Career, May will be the celebration month and in mid june, Bob's final episodes will be taped and aired.

I think any man who can do this at their age, deserves respect:


And after being called a vampire for months on end, you would think this would be the right way to exact revenge:


Anyway earlier this week, as part of CBS commerating this event, the series "How I Met Your Mother" paid tribte to the show this past week. While its not the main plot of the episode, its pure hilarity. In the episode (by the way, this isnt the full episode), Barney (played by Neil Patrick Harris) gets an opportunity to go on "The Price Is Right". halfway through the episide however, you learn his true intentions for going
(Just Watch The First Minute):


At the very end of the episode, the taping of the event is aired, and let me just say i dont think there will ever be a contestant like this on TPIR, EVER.:


So I hope i made you a fan of the series, and if so, in time for the end of an era for most...So its L8r for now,Keep your eyes peeled for Bobs grand Finale in June, and Remember...Help control the pet population, Spay & Neuter Your Cats & Dogs!
