You can't fool television viewers with dancing girls and flashing lights

A person who has never owned a dog has missed a wonderful part of life.

The cardinal rule for hosting the Miss USA and Miss Universe beauty pageants is to expect the unexpected.

This is so like the way the Americans deliberately erroneously refer to Afghans and Iraqis as terrorists when they fight back killing American soldiers to protect their young from the illegal American invasion.

I'd like to see animals removed from the entertainment business. Chimpanzees and apes won't perform unless you beat them. Circuses keep elephants in chains 90 percent of the time. Elephants need freedom of movement. In circuses, they live in cramped quarters, which is not the life intended for them by nature. Some are beaten daily, forced to do ridiculous tricks and robbed of every shred of dignity.

Networks decide who will have a chance to do shows, but it is the viewers who make the final decision of who stays and who goes. I am very fortunate, in that the television viewers of our country have decided that Bob Barker can stay.

Nothing gives me quite so much joy as when people tell me they've had their pets spayed or neutered.
