Most people don't know this about me, but I'm a raging, rabid, insane fan of The Price Is Right. Like most people who are fans of this classic game show, I've been watching it most of my life, and can still play along as loudly as I did when I was a kid. Heck, I like the show so much, I wrote a long, rambling online article about it a couple of years ago. So, even though I work for a living, I try to catch the show whenever I can, even if I tape a week and watch it later.

Most of the show is pretty much the same as it was when I was a kid, except for the fact that Bob Barker has white hair and looks more and more like the Crypt Keeper every year. But there's something about the show that's been missing for a while now, something that people may not notice, until they see clips of older episodes (which are conveniently kept at wonderful sites like TPIR.tv):

Barker's Beauties are gone.
