@gpxo I think that the real reason that none of the lawsuits against Bob Barker ever went to trial is simple. The network knew that in real life Bob Barker was a nasty old bas***d and that if even 1 of the lawsuits went to trial, then America would find out and that would tank the money making Price Is Right. So settlements were paid and the lawsuits went away. But then came a lawsuit that actually involved the network, and after that, Bob Barker went away.

@gpxo11 Hey man - Give mtwylhk the page numbers...PLEASE. (I have been all over this lawsuit and I can’t find any ruling dropping all provisions against Barker either.) Give him the page numbers and be done with this.

@lingaild I think you might be right, I think gpxo might just be Bob Barker, or someone who works for him. I didn't watch that show but we did study the lawsuits in class so I know that most of what this guy says is bullsh*t, it's like deliberately convoluted. But it's exactly the same BS I saw BB say in the media, "he didn't pay, he didn't lose, he wanted to fight the lawsuits but the netwrok settled" all BS. Bob Barker is a mega liar and so is this gpxo. Might just be 1 in the same.

gpxo11 Everything I checked that you said (cause that's how I roll!) was a lie! Our ratings are #1 in both half hrs - Barker was never dismissed from Holly’s lawsuit - & more lies, all lies. You wasted my time. You come here and lie & say mean things to people, you're probably Bob Barker! I know him & he is a despicable old man which is why people@ Price hated him and are happy he was retired. Good riddance to you both!

[atty1day]

@lingaild Not true at all. Everything gpxo11 has said is TOTAL BS, all lies. And someone definitely needs to up his dose --17 postings in 1day! Point of order; not all the women sued Barker, HE sued Hallstrom and when he lost, he fired a bunch of people including Janice Penington, because he didn't like the way they testified. Hallstrom counter sued Barker and got millions. And yes, after 7 women had sued him, the suit you referenced was the first time CBS was ever included as a defendant.

[gpxo11]

You seem to think CBS has never had a lawsuit before. To put it simply Lingalid, your statement is nothing but conjecture and is fantasy based due to no facts to support it-but it seems that's how your side rolls

Out for good unless I'm disrupted again two years down the road.

@gpxo11  That should be Phil wayne rossi-not Frank Wayne-my bad.

Finally TPIR has lost considerable ad revenue and ratings since Bob retired-it's no longer the money making machine it once was. It continually gets beaten by The View in ratings and sometimes even the fourth hour of the Today Show. If CBS was truly money motivated, they would have done everything in their power to retain Bob-the ratings and Bob's continued star power despite the lawsuits reflect this. Only Bob's would be damaged-not the show or network. CBS would survive regardless.

[gpxo11]

Settlements were not paid outright-there was a long process involved in each case-the simple reason there was no trial is because the plaintiffs could not prove their allegations against Bob. the process in each case backs that statement up.The lawsuit that first included CBS was the easiest to dispute of all since Bob nor this lady was ever in the same building.

[gpxo11]

The lawsuit I'm referring to in my previous post was for Sylvia clement Henry. Deborah Curling filed her lawsuit in October 2007 and Shane stirling also filed a lawsuit after Bob retired. Anyway your premise concerning CBS is flawed because even if one of the previous 7 lawsuits went to trial the show and CBS would suffer the same fate. when Bob retired the public had made up their minds concerning him due to the incessant tabloid coverage the previous ten years prior to bob's announcement,

[gpxo11]

particular was easily and quickly, for the most part, resolved. CBS was involved because that is who this lady worked for not Freemantle.
