SuperClásico Playoff Series Finale Is Serious Business
Today, after 35 years of showcase showdowns, the beloved Bob Barker films his final installment of the iconic game show, The Price Is Right.
Fans pilgrimaged from all corners of the planet to sleep on the streets of CBS Television City and bid adieu to the white-haired wonder and his many, magic games.
We'll miss you, Bob, with your well-wishes for spayed and neutered pets, your sexualicious harassment with the Barker's Beauties, and that adorable little microphone you carry. Thanks for all the Plinko.
Mr. Barker's successor has not yet been named, but I hope it's Sarah Silverman. She can host anything. Today's taping is slated for broadcast 6/15.
PLINKO! and the actual retail price... after the jump...

It is a sad day. This man has been a staple of my life since I was old enough to hold my head up on my own. Even during those school years when I wasn't able to watch, it was always a comfort to know he would be there on sick days.
We miss you already, Bob.
File this one under "Unproven Conspiracy Theories".
In a news release -- Global Warming Key Factor in Increase of Cat Population -- yesterday, Pets Across America President Kathy Warnick said global warming is thought to be a contributing factor to the dramatic increase of stray, owned and feral cats.
Pets Across America, self-described in the release as "the largest umbrella organization for animal shelters serving more than 130 million people" also stated that cats outnumber dogs by 13.5 million and that the number is growing and that animal shelters across the United States are reporting skyrocketing influxes of cats and kittens being brought into their agencies. Most importantly, however, they used their news release to tell the world that "many believe global warming is extending cat-breeding seasons and causing the cat population to swell."
I repeat their claim: "many believe global warming is...causing the cat population to swell!"
WARNING: Below is where the conspiracy-theory angle, though still very much unproven, comes into play. Proceed at your own peril.
After taking into account this earth-shattering news from Pets Across America, can you honestly believe it's a coincidence that this Kansas City, Mo.-based group chose to issue its news release only one week prior to the airing of Bob Barker's last episode of The Price is Right? No way!
I suspect that Barker, arguably the world's most-visible advocate of spaying and neutering pets, opted to retire this year only after coming under immense pressure from a below-the-radar campaign by animal shelter advocate groups like Pets Across America. Their never-made-public argument: Barker's spaying and neutering advocacy was a flop, and we should have been concentrating on stopping Global Warming.
