We grew up in the same town (Springfield Missouri), he went to school with my Brother. Went to the same college where my Mother taught and she said he was just one of the guys.

Never a fan of the show (or any game show except Jeopardy for that matter) but he seemed like a nice guy. A lot better than the current crop of hollywood types.

Yep, you could stay home and watch the show and see hot chicks. I always waited until the end when they gave away the boat because Diane would be in a bathing suit. What a SMOKIN' body....

Man, I remember coming home at 11:00 as a kid in KINDERGARTEN and thinking his show was cool 'cause my mom would occasionally have it on. . . The man was a fixture.

So someone's gotta' ask the question - how much p*ssy d'ya think he got from the models? Bet it was a lot.

Didn't Bob get busted for sexually harassing the models on the show? Could you blame him?

One of them accused him, but nothing came out of it and the accusation
appeared to be an attempt to get some money from him. He was married a
long time to the same woman.

Bob kicked butt in that Adam Sandler golf movie.

The only question is, how long will they take to bastardize the show's name? They should just retire the show, but I doubt they will.

Has a replacement been named or anything? Probably be some young phony hollywood suck-up with perfect hair and teeth. If the network were smart, they'd get a woman to host it.

My roommate in college was obsessed with the show. I never got it.

I have no idea what they based the prices of the stuff on. I know they weren't the same as in Bloomington, IL.

What is the same in the rest of the world as it is in Bloomington, IL?

I don't know. They seem to be pretty dense out there in IL (read: government), so that's gotta throw off the gravitational calculus.

Probably MSRP.

I heard he was a prick to work with.
