There’s a wonderful website I like to visit once in awhile when I get bored… it’s called FlashGames. You can play Flash-based versions of several different TV game shows — usually just the bonus rounds (the best part).

Today was the big day (well, technically yesterday since it’s after midnight): Drew Carey’s first show as host of “The Price is Right.” And I hope Disney wasn’t watching when he came out of the big doors and proudly proclaimed the show to be “The happiest place on Earth.” Isn’t that the slogan for Disneyland? I’m sure news of a lawsuit would have been all over the place by now, so I guess they let it slide.
All kidding aside, there were pros and cons to Drew’s first day… read along, see if you agree, and feel free to leave comments at the end. »»More
