CBS - PRICE IS RIGHT FOR PRIMETIME TV

CBS, which had often called up Bob Barker to host a primetime version of The Price Is Right -- usually during the summer rerun period -- will be calling up current host Drew Carey to do so for the first time beginning February 22. The network indicated that the show will run for six weeks. Carey, who has pulled double-duty on primetime network TV in the past when The Drew Carey Show and Whose Line Is It Anyway ran simultaneously on ABC, won't have to do so again when Price returns. CBS said that it is pulling Carey's The Power of 10 from its schedule but indicated that the game show would likely return later in the year. Wednesday night's edition drew a dreadful 3.0 rating and a 5 share.
