This is war!

My bio on this blog refers to game shows and the Internet wars about them. Apparently one war has been raging without me even noticing.

A thread on golden-road.net, a much-trafficked The Price is Right forum, pointed out the recent ratings released by CBS for the show. The numbers look healthy and growing. Which didn't sit well with some golden-road members, who regularly denounce just about everything that's happened on the show since Bob Barker left.

Turns out these members also have a beef with Chad Mosher and BuzzerBlog. Chad and the other site have a generally more positive attitude towards TPiR's recent seasons. I don't have a dog in this fight because I'm mostly indifferent to either the old or new The Price is Right. I have noticed that lots of Barker-bashers hang out on the GSN Internet board.

So maybe the golden-roaders don't much like the GSN-ers, either. Just another battle in the never-ending game show Internet conflicts.
