Price Producer is Fired!

I think everyone knows right now that longtime Price is Right Producer Roger Dobkowitz has been fired from Fremantle Media because the company wants to take Price in a new direction.

Right now, there are no known changes that have been announced. There has been a lot of speculating on the internet game show boards and blogs, but nothing has been proved to be true. The first taping of the new season begins on July 20th, and if any news breaks on what changes are being made, I will be sure to let everyone know.

Now my opinion on all of this mess. This weekend has been a weird one for Game Show fans. After 3 years of being apart of the Game Show community, I have never seen so much anger and sadness over anything. Roger was a beloved producer who many said was the nicest person around. We will all miss him on Price. But there comes a time when you can be sad, and a time when you can be an all around fanatic. The head of Golden-road.net, Marc has decided to take time off and take all of the G-R threads with him. He seems to me to be a complete cry-baby. He seems to find one little thing and decides to take his boards with him. A few months ago he did the same thing after someone from the google groups continually put him down. All I say is get over it, and take it like a man. But this guy decides to let this get to him, and he does this kind of crap. Grow up Marc.

But all we can do now, is cross our fingers and hope that Fremantle does not go overly crazy on these changes.
