I’ve been watching a number of episodes on YouTube and have to say that ultimately I think that the American version of this show is far superior to any of the British incarnations that have existed.
I love how excited the contestants get when commanded to “come on down” to take their place in contestants’ row.
I think that Drew Carey makes an excellent host.
Here are some questions for the Americans who post on these forums.
It’s been going for more than 50 years. Why do you think it has proved to be such an enduring format.
Also, what sort of ratings does it get. Is it one of the most popular shows on American daytime television.
How popular is it relative to the big American daytime soap operas.
Also, is it as popular now as it was under original host, Bob Barker or was there a ratings slide following his departure.
Finally, is the show fully networked across America or are there some CBS affiliates who do NOT carry it.
Thanks
