If you've ever wondered why GSN doesn't give the '70s and '80s treatment to CBS' "The Price is Right" anymore, we have an answer for you. While speaking to Rich Cronin, GSN president and CEO who's in New York for The National Vocabulary Championship, The Slug asked him if we were ever gonna see brown-haired Bob Barker and pricing games of yesteryear back on the network for games.

Cronin said CBS let "The Price is Right" rights expire because they thought reruns would affect viewership of the original. GSN talks to CBS "every six months" about airing the oldies but thus far GSN hasn't been able to become Safe Crackers. With Bob Barker retiring in June, The Slug hopes that "The Price is Right" as we knew it can soon live forever on GSN. Until then, this will continue to be one of those Cliff Hangers.
