17. Some of my prettiest memories in the LaRue household was watching the Price is Right with mama and the cat lady every morning. Mama didn't make me go to school--and her coffee always smelled funny, like it had perfume in it--but there we were, at 9 am, lookin' and a-laughin' at all of that durn commotion. I think the cat lady had a crush on Bob Barker but mama said to never tease her about it, because the cat lady was real shy about the menfolk.
We wern't no good at the game neither, because we never shopped at the store, we grew our own food--we grew polk salad, we did alright.

18. He should have retired years ago! He is a dirty old man! I could never stand to watch that show just because he was on it! Everytime that show came on and I saw his face it was time to turn the channel. I'm surprised some of these Bob fans seems to totally forgotten what a pervert he is. And please don't say Oh, I never believed that stuff. Well, believe it, cause it did happen. Good riddance!

19. I'm sick of old people presenting shows - there are so many people out there who could do a better job, that are more easy on the eye. Barbara Walters with her speech defect - that crumbly old fart reading the news...get them off the box.

20. I think some of these stupid and nasty comments are made by people who need to "Get A LIFE" They probably are the ones who also call the talk shows and they are replaceable.

21. Bob is cool, I remember watching this show when I was younger. The accusations against him by all the bimbos on the show proved to be false. Take that bitch!

22. Why is he a "pervert"? Because he hit on semi-pretty younger women? It wasn't like they were kids or anything. They were certainly old enough to handle the situation. I feel no pity for them. And I don't think Bob's a pervert because he actually enjoyed looking at women or even.........sex in his later years. Big whoop. The man is human. Grow up, kiddies. "Old people" still enjoy the opposite sex. Geeze, what a friggin' crime. This whole GD country came unglued when they found out B. Clinton enjoyed a BJ now and then. Good God, the things people get tied in a knot about blows me away. I have news for all you CHILDREN out there: Life and sex does not stop when you're 40 or older. ROCK ON, BOB!!!

25. I can't stand the Mountain Climber game with the yodeler, but I will miss Bob Barker. To the poster who said that the prizes are crappy is right. Over the years it seems that T.P.I.R prizes have been leaning towards the cheap side.

26. Best of everything Bob! Through the years you have entertained millions of people. You will be missed!

27. Hey Bob wanted to let you know we love you and will miss you very much. It was the best 50 years. But the best game show The Price Is Right. No body will not replay you, you were the best host. We went to see you on May 29,30, and 31 and June 1,07. It was real cool to see you in person and get to talk to you thanks. Your Friend Cathy & James Kadlec

28. HEY DUDE READ THIS-Controversy erupted in 1993 when Parkinson sued host Bob Barker for sexual harassment. Barker admitted that he had sexual relations with Parkinson but stated, "As God is my witness I never asked her to do anything she didn't want to do" and that everything was indeed consensual. Parkinson declared herself no financial match to Barker and his resources and gave up her legal fight with him in 1995.

Barker was involved in more legal trouble with a Price model in 1995. Holly Hallstrom, a model from 1977 to 1995, stated that she had gained 14 pounds due to a prescription medication and that Barker used the weight gain as an excuse to fire her, which Barker denied. Hallstrom alleged that the real reason Barker fired her was because she had refused to support Barker when Parkinson sued him for sexual harassment. Barker responded with a lawsuit for slander and libel, Barker v. Hallstrom, claiming Hallstrom was lying, but the court declared Hallstrom the prevailing party and ordered Plaintiff Barker to pay all Hallstrom's legal fees. Hallstrom countersued Barker and in October 2005 Hallstrom received a multi-million-dollar out-of-court settlement.

Janice Pennington and Kathleen Bradley (1990-2000) were both let go from the show in 2000 after testifying in Hallstrom's favor during Barker's lawsuit against her.

In 2003 model Claudia Jordan (2001-2003), was dismissed from the show. In 2004 Jordan filed suit against Barker and the show for charges that included Racial Discrimination, Sexual Harassment and Wrongful Termination. In 2005 Jordan received an out-of-court financial settlement.

29. What Quincygirl left out was the following-After Dian dropped her lawsuit (which was actually due to insufficient evidence) both her and her attorney (Labowitz) were fined for wasting the court's time. Also Labowitz was brought up before the State Bar in which his license to practice was suspended.
Concerning the Jordan and for that matter all of the other ladies that sued Bob were represented by the same attorney-they used Bob's name to place a "face" on their cause-their lawsuit was actually against Freemantle media not Bob himself-incidentally Bob has never paid a cent to anyone including Miss Halstrom. The legal fees were paid by Bob's legal party not Mr. Barker himself which were very nominal after Bob dropped his lawsuit against Hallstrom-known as Hallstrom II.
. Finally, with the Hallstrom case-it was only AFTER ALL provisions in the lawsuit against Bob were DROPPED-did Ms. Hallstrom settle out of court for far less than what she wanted and has claimed with much of her offer paying her attorney who made more money in aligning all these settlements than all of the plaintiffs combined-Bob himself wanted the company to continue with the lawsuit instead of settle because after the provisions against Bob were dropped during appeal, Holly basically had no case-but Freemantle wanted to move on..

30. Oh and let's not forget what touched off all these frivilous lawsuits by these ladies and that was Dian's BLACKMAIL attempt against Bob in that if he did not pay her off-she would go to the media.
Bob just beat her to it by manning up to the public himself. A lot of people seems to have forgotten that-so quite frankly if Hallstrom "sided" with Dian that shows me the type of person she is as well as the rest of the lot.
