The Price Is Right Timeline

This FAQ section is an attempt to chronicle every major event in the history of The Price Is Right, as well as to list the episodes in the order they were supposed to air in. I once thought that it would never be completed, but a wealth of incoming information in the recent past and for the foreseeable future now seems to suggest otherwise. Not even recent seasons have every single event listed, although we’re always trying to rectify that. Also, data on the correct order of '86 Specials is largely sketchy; they will be assumed to have aired in the right unless concrete information that states otherwise comes to light. Any dates listed as “September*”, “October*”, “November*”, or “December*” refer to the September, October, November, or December in the second year of the season; any dates listed as “June*” or “August*” refer to the June or August in the first year of the season.

Additionally, at the top of each season, you will find a link to a calendar with listing of which games were played on every episode in that season. In the first 15 seasons, many of the episodes are shaded in gray, indicating that the exact order in which the games were played is not known; after Season 15, this occurs only on a small number of pre-empted shows in Seasons 16 and 17. Color codes are present in the calendars to indicate such things as non-car games being played for cars and Most Expensive being played for three trips where they are known. The dates given in the calendars reflect the proper episode order, which is occasionally not the order in which the shows ended up being broadcast on CBS; as such, when using them, it can be helpful to keep this timeline with its list of reschedulings open in another window.

While the '70s nighttime show is largely outside the scope of this timeline, we nevertheless know all of its game lineups; as such, it seems only logical to provide "calendars" for it, as well. They reside here, hosted as always by Scorpz.

Season 1 ('72-'73)

Pricing game calendar for Season 1, hosted by Scorpz.

Week 0: Unaired pilot (No known production number)

• A "pilot" for The New Price Is Right was taped on August 15, 1972, four days before the recording of episode #0011D. Its title notwithstanding, the show actually served as a dress rehearsal to make sure everything would go smoothly when taping began. Neither Bob nor Dennis was involved with the runthrough; who stood in as host that day is lost to time. Roger has stated that he does not believe any footage of the pilot exists.
• The pilot is not included in any episode counts, although it could reasonably be regarded as "episode 0."

Week 1: September 4, 6, Unaired, 8, 7, & 5

• Originally scheduled for September 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, & 8.
• This week consists of six episodes, with two Wednesday shows. After the original Wednesday show, #0013D, was taped, the staff discovered that one of the contestants was ineligible because she was the common-law wife of one of the cameramen. It was never aired, and episode #0013D(R) was created to replace it. It is unclear whether or not a tape of episode #0013D still exists.
• References in this week to "Wednesday show" or "original Wednesday" refer to episode #0013D; references to "replacement Wednesday show" refer to episode #0013D(R). References along the lines of "all shows this week" or "this week's shows" include original Wednesday but not replacement Wednesday unless otherwise noted.
• Because of the noticeable differences between episode #0013D(R) and this week's five main shows, and for the sake of clarity in numbering the first few playings of Double Prices, Grocery Game, and Bullseye, this document refers to the replacement episode 3 as though it came between episodes 5 and 6.
• The show begins its existence with Bob hosting, Johnny announcing, and Janice and Anitra as the Barker's Beauties.
• The show originally airs at 10:30 Eastern/9:30 Central.
• On this week's shows, the first four contestants are told to "stand up" instead of "come on down."
• The opening spiel is, "A fortune in fabulous prizes may go to these people today if they know when The Price Is Right!"
• Monday's opening ends with, "And all four of you, come on down; you're the first contestants on The New Price Is Right!"
• In the opening logo, the dollar sign and "New" are orange, and the other words are white. Elsewhere, "The" is orange; the dollar sign and "New" are yellow; and "Price," "Is," and "Right" are red.
• The show's color scheme consists mainly of oranges, yellows, and browns. Its set appears as follows:
  • The Turntable carpet is orange, and the stationary Turntable walls are brown, orange, and yellow. The turning panel has a pattern of dots on the front side and a hexagon pattern on the game side. The wall borders are brown.
  • The Big Doors have their normal patterns that remain in place up through the first episode of Season 31, albeit in drastically different colors. The doorframes are brown; the colored strips on them are orange around Door #1, yellow around Door #2, and red around Door #3.
  • Contestants' Row consists of four brown eggcrate displays; each display has an asterisk on its left side which flashes when the contestant standing behind it wins. The floor in front of Contestants' Row is a black area surrounded by yellow. The seats in the Row are red, whereas the rest of the audience has blue chairs; the "New," "Price," "Is," and "Right" seat covers are not in place yet.
  • The Giant Price Tag is white with a brown border; it displays the show's logo. There is a black circle on the left side, representing a hole that a thread would be put through.
  • The Showcase podiums are red and yellow, with brown borders. The Top Winner stands at the red podium.
  • The Clam has the show's logo in a white field surrounded by orange.
  • The curtains behind the audience are a solid yellow.
• On all shows this week, Johnny ends each Item up for Bids description with, "And this [name of prize] can be yours if the price is right!"
• On this week's shows, bidding always starts from the left side of Contestants' Row, regardless of whether or not the newest contestant is standing there.
• Monday show features the debuts of Any Number, Bonus Game, and Double Prices.
• On Monday, a miked contestant podium is placed on the Turntable for Any Number and Bonus Game during the preceding IUFBs; it is never seen again after the first episode.
• Monday and Thursday's playings of Any Number both feature the short-lived "Any Number piggy bank" prop; it seems safe to assume that Wednesday's does, as well, but we currently have no way of checking this.
• During the half-hour era, the show's theme is used while going to commercial from all segments except for the first part of the Showcase; there, the "come on down" cue is used.
• On this week's shows, there is no rule stating that the order of the Contestants' Row lineup may not be altered during the course of an episode.
• Monday show marks the first appearances of the Clam and the Giant Price Tag.
• On Monday only, the Giant Price Tag has a narrow curtain attached to its left side.
• On Monday, Bob's microphone dies shortly after Bonus Game is revealed; he uses a much bulkier mic, similar to Dennis's, for the rest of the episode.
• Monday's Bonus Game contestant, Paul, is called down again 40 years later on Price's 40th anniversary episode, #6023K; amazingly, he ends up playing Bonus Game again.
• The ticket plug occurs during the commercial between the second and third games; the address is written in simple black text on an orange background.
• During the ticket plug, a slow remix of the theme's bridge plays.
• On all shows this week, the flap in Double Prices displays the name of the prize's manufacturer.
• On all shows this week except for possibly Wednesday (which we currently have no way of checking), the Showcase podiums are already in place or being set up during the third game.
• The consolation prize plug is read during the commercial between the third game and the Showcase; Johnny refers to those remaining in Contestants' Row as "All contestants who have not participated onstage."
• The consolation prize plugs use the same music as the ticket plug.
• On all shows this week, at the end of the Showcase, the Turntable begins spinning for no apparent reason; on all shows except for replacement Wednesday, this also happens while going to commercial during the first part of the Showcase. It seems safe to assume that the spin at the end of the first part of the Showcase was dropped after the first taping week finished.
• On Monday, the Showcase podiums have flipcards placed on them after the commercial; they are used to reveal the ARPs. For the remainder of the week, the standard price reveal method with Bob reading the ARPs from small price tags is used, and a nameplate with a description of the showcase is placed on each podium during the commercial.
• Early in the show's run, the credits are displayed in the Pricedown font.
• For the first week of shows, the full credit roll is aired every day.
• On Tuesday, the original opening's regular ending, "Come on down and play The New Price Is Right!", is introduced.
• Tuesday show features the debuts of Grocery Game and Bullseye '72, the day's first and second games, respectively.
• As a result of CBS broadcasting this week's episodes out of order, the second playings of Grocery Game and Bullseye were actually aired before their first playings.
• On Tuesday and Friday, Grocery Game is played on the wrong side of the turntable.
• Tuesday's Grocery Game contestant, Dorothy, is called down again 36 years later, on episode #4502K from November 11, 2008 (which was aired out of order on November 3).
• On this week's shows, Grocery Game offers a $100 bonus for not going over $7; the phrasing of the rules seems to indicate that it would still be awarded if a contestant lost by running out of products before reaching $6.75.
• On its first four playings only, Grocery Game contestants automatically win supplies of the five grocery products used in the game. The amounts awarded vary, but they always total at least $100. It is not clear whether the groceries were factored into determining the Top Winner and Runner-Up for the Showcase, as no situation ever arose where it actually would have made a difference.
• Although their show was not aired, it is believed that the eligible contestants from the original Wednesday show did receive their prizes.
• On Thursday, Bob never reveals the price of the Top Winner's showcase, although its value can be calculated by subtracting the prices of her other prizes from her total winnings.
• Friday show features well-known contestant Boo Boo Cooper, who manages to thoroughly confound Bob as he attempts to guide her through Grocery Game.
• The replacement Wednesday show was produced during the second week of tapings, and as such, it introduces several things not seen on this week's five main shows, all of which carry over to next week:
  • The normal opening, with contestants being told to "Come on down" and ending with, "You are the first four contestants on The New Price Is Right!" is used for the first time.
  • The Barker Wall makes its first appearance.
  • Contestants are no longer allowed to move to different spots in Contestants' Row during the course of the show.
  • Grocery Game no longer offers cash.
  • Bullseye provides a $500 bidding range.
  • The numbers in Bullseye are now highlighted with blue lights, making them much easier to read.
  • A dot is added to the left side of Bullseye's price tag graphic, indicating the spot that a thread would be put through; this version of the graphic subsequently carries over to Clock Game and Double Bullseye.
  • The flap on Double Prices displays the show's logo.
  • The Showcase podiums have their standard, permanent, brown nameplates.
  • The full credit roll between the Goodson-Todman ID and the show's logo is not shown every day.
• The replacement Wednesday show has a different pricing game lineup than the original episode (Grocery Game, Bullseye, Double Prices in #0013D(R), as opposed to Any Number, Bonus Game, Double Prices in #0013D), as well as a completely different set of prizes.
• On replacement Wednesday, Bullseye is played for a boat.
• On replacement Wednesday, Bob mentions Grocery Game during the Showcase; this marks the first on-air use of any pricing game's name.

Week 2: September 11-15

• Monday show is the earliest show that does not use the same pricing game lineup as either of the first two episodes.
• The "The," "Price," "Is," and "Right" seat covers in Contestants' Row are added on Monday; they are not present on Tuesday, which was taped out of order before episode #0013D(R).
• On Monday, Contestants' Row bidding is altered to move from left to right beginning with the newest contestant and wrapping around when the end of the Row is reached; this is not done on Tuesday, which as noted above, was taped out of order before the week's other four episodes.
• On Monday, the windows in Bonus Game become blue; they were originally yellow. The game's small prize labels also adopt their standard font for the show's first 40-and-a-half years at this time.
• Monday show features the debut of Clock Game.
• On its first three playings, Clock Game's board is noticeably bulkier than usual; it is believed that only the top half of the game existed at this point and that it was somehow attached to the front of Any Number/Bullseye (which are themselves known to have been a single prop).
• Monday show is the earliest episode on which Double Prices is not played.
• On either Wednesday or Thursday -- probably Thursday -- the "The" seat cover in Contestants' Row is replaced with one that reads "New."
• Thursday show features the final playing of Bullseye '72.
• On Thursday, instead of providing a bidding range in Bullseye, Bob tells the contestant that the car's price has been rounded to the nearest $10.
• Thursday's Double Prices and Friday's Clock Game were each originally scheduled for the opposite episode; they were likely switched to avoid having Clock Game appear on the same show as Bullseye.
• As of Friday, Grocery Game contestants are no longer awarded supplies of the groceries.
• By Friday, the Any Number board gets its picture of a piggy bank; the piggy bank had been represented by the words "PIGGY BANK" at least through Monday and probably through Wednesday.
• Any Number's piggy bank prop is retired this week, probably after Wednesday; it is present at least through Monday.
• The decimal point in Any Number's piggy bank price is white by Friday; it had been black at least through Monday and probably through Wednesday.
• By Friday, the credits are no longer in the Pricedown font.
• On at least Friday's show, the Showcase title in the Runner-Up's podium is yellow; while it is not known for certain how long this happened, a logical guess would be that it occurred this Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
• On at least Friday's show, the Showcase title cards are placed in the podiums during the second showcase; while it is not known for certain how long this happened, a logical guess would be that it occurred this Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Week 3: September 18-22

• Beginning on Monday, the two left-hand stationary Turntable walls are brown, pink, black, orange, and yellow, from outside to inside. Additionally, their wall borders now have chase lights going around them.
• On Monday, the Clock Game board receives its own base.
• On Monday, the blank nameplates on the Showcase podiums are still brown.
• Tuesday show features the debut of Double Bullseye.
• When Double Bullseye's first contestant comes up from Contestants' Row, the show's theme plays instead of the "come on down" music.
• Wednesday show is the earliest episode, and the only one for a long time, to deviate from the show's original formula of playing two longer games first and second and a shorter game third; it was originally scheduled with a lineup of Bonus Game, Any Number, Clock Game, but the actual episode used a lineup of Clock Game, Any Number, Bonus Game.

Week 4: September 25-29

• Tuesday show features the debut of Five Price Tags.
• By Thursday, the side of Grocery Game's countertop is red; it had originally been brown.
• By Thursday, Double Bullseye's staging has been altered so that the Showcase podiums are angled toward one another; originally, they had been positioned the same way as during the Showcase.
• By Thursday, Double Bullseye has been modified to give the contestants a $500 range in which to bid.
• By Thursday, the blank nameplates on the Showcase podiums have become yellow on the red podium and pink on the yellow podium, and their descriptive cards have been changed from brown to orange.
• On Thursday, Johnny still refers to the contestants who remain in Contestants' Row during the consolation prize plugs as "All contestants who have not participated onstage."

Week 5: October 2-6

Week 6: October 9-13

• Tuesday show features the final playing of Double Bullseye.

Week 7: October 16-20

• Monday show features the debut of Most Expensive.
• Once Most Expensive debuts, shelves for its price tags to rest on are added to the podiums that it shares with Five Price Tags; the shelves are only added to three of the podiums, meaning that one of them was only ever used in Five Price Tags. Although it is not confirmable at present, based on tapedates, this change probably did not occur until Monday.
• On Tuesday show, Sherrie Palmer is called as one of the first four contestants; however, Cherie Cavin comes on down instead. Cherie is allowed to remain in Contestants' Row, and as far as is known, nothing is said of the incident on the air. After the taping, the situation is explained to Sherrie, and she is told that she will be called down if she returns on the next day of tapings; she does so and is called as one of the first four contestants on Thursday.

Week 8: October 23-27

• As of Monday, the floor in front of Contestants' Row still has its original appearance.
• As of Monday, there is still no "WIN!/OVER" display on Grocery Game's cash register.
• On Monday, in an odd coincidence, the two contestants who reach the Showcase turn out to be neighbors and already know each other.
• Tuesday's show was originally planned to feature the debut of Give or Keep; for reasons lost to time, this did not happen, and Bonus Game was played instead.
• For reasons unknown, Friday's Grocery Game player, who loses immediately by buying 24 Chunky bars, is awarded 24 Chunky bars.

Week 9: October 30-November 3

• By Thursday, the floor in front of Contestants' Row has changed; it is now a solid yellow with two black squares containing black G-T asterisks.
• By Thursday, the WIN!/OVER display has been added to Grocery Game's cash register.
• By Friday, Any Number has begun to vary its prize reveal: Some shows use the original method; others do not return to Bob between the prize and the car; and still others plug the car first, with the prize sometimes appearing behind the doors alongside it and other times not being shown until Bob explains the game.

Week 10: November 6-10

• By Monday, Johnny has begun referring to those remaining in Contestants' Row during the consolation prize plugs as "Contestants not appearing onstage."
• By Monday, Johnny has begun throwing back to commercial from the consolation prize plugs with the phrase, "Coming up next is our fabulous Price Is Right Showcase!"
• On Monday, Anitra's daughter, Erin, helps her mother and Janice present a toy-themed showcase.

Week 11: November 13-17

• Monday's show is the first episode taped during a technicians' strike, during which various Goodson and/or non-union CBS staffers operated the cameras; as a result, the production quality of the next several weeks of shows, and this week especially, is noticeably lower than usual.
• Thursday's show was rerun on Game Show Network during the 1990s despite a fur coat being offered in Bonus Game.
• Friday show is rerun during Season 28 on February 29, 2000, following that year's Pillsbury Bake-Off.

• Somewhere around this point, the earliest known playing of Double Prices at Door #3 occurs.

Week 23: February 6-9

• Originally scheduled for February 5-7, 9.
• Only four shows; no Thursday episode.
• Circumstantial evidence suggests that an episode #0234D, which logically would have been the first show to tape after January 25, was planned out but was ultimately removed from the production schedule after Price was pre-empted that day; instead, the shows from #0214D through #0233D were each aired a day late, and tapings picked back up with #0235D.

Week 24: February 12-16

• On Wednesday, Valentine's Day, only ladies are called down, and Bob gives each contestant a rose.
• By Wednesday, several additional black lines have been drawn on the yellow floor section in front of Contestants' Row, giving the entire area a pattern of squares.

• From this Thursday through the middle of October, a long series of pre-emptions and reschedulings is caused by network coverage of the Watergate hearings. The production number changes mentioned in the notes for this and the next several weeks are presumably connected with this.
• Friday show features the final playing of Double Digits.

Week 38: May 21, June 18, June 20, June 19, May 25

• Originally scheduled for May 21-25.

Week 40: June 4-5, 21, 7-8

• Originally scheduled for June 4-8.

Strangely, none of these episodes ended up airing on the dates indicated by their new production numbers.

Week 43: June 22, July 2, August 31, September* 3

• Originally scheduled for June 26-29.
• Only four shows; no Monday episode.
• The show was pre-empted by the Watergate hearings every day of the week during which these episodes were originally scheduled to air.
• On Tuesday, the show's 200th episode, The New Price Is Right's name is changed to "The Price Is Right;" all instances of the show's title in any spoken or written text are altered to reflect this.
• Presumably beginning on Tuesday, in the logo seen in the opening and on the Double Prices podium, the dollar sign is orange, "Price" is yellow, and the other words are white. Elsewhere, the logo's standard color scheme debuts, with the dollar sign and "Price" in yellow and the other words in red.

Week 44: September* 4, July 3-6

• Originally scheduled for July 2-6.

• On Tuesday and Thursday, Grocery Game's cash register, except for the WIN!/OVER display, is gray and white. It seems likely that this was a replacement register, as the blue color scheme is present throughout Season 2.

• No new episodes were produced for the week of September* 10-14; instead, episodes delayed from Weeks 46, 47, and 48 were aired. However, the production numbers skip from #0535D to #0552D, so this is still technically Week 54.

• CBS did not air The Price Is Right the week of February 11-15, instead pre-empting its normal programming from 3:00-4:30 EST for a special block called CBS Daytime 90. No episodes were produced for these days; however, the episode production numbers jump from #0755D to #0771D, so this period is still technically Week 76, even though it contains no shows.

• Thursday show features the last playing of Bonus Game on the daytime show for over a year.

Week 39 (94): June 17-21

Week 40 (95): June 24-28

Week 41 (96): July 1-5

• Either Thursday show or Friday show features the debut of Card Game; which one is uncertain due to a typographical error in the pricing game records, although circumstantial evidence strongly favors Thursday.

Week 47 (102): August 12-16

• Wednesday show features the debut of Race Game.
• The debut of Race Game is likely also the first appearance of the Race Game Curtain. The curtain's original appearance is a pattern of curves in white, green, and light blue.
• By Thursday, the ticket plug and consolation prize plug have replaced the remix of the theme's bridge with a cue referred to officially as, appropriately enough, "Ticket Plug." This cue continues to be used in the ticket plug until said plug is moved to the end of the first Showcase Showdown in the late '80s and in the consolation prize plugs through the end of Season 35.
• Friday show is rerun during Season 26 on February 24, 1998, following that year's Pillsbury Bake-Off.

• On Wednesday show, Any Number uses its original prize reveal; this may have been a staging issue, as the 3-digit prize on this playing was a dinette.
• Friday's show is the only time Dennis ever hosted Hi Lo, as the game was not played on the nighttime version during his tenure.

Week 23 (127): February 3-7

Week 24 (128): February 10-14

Week 26 (130): February 24-28

Week 27 (131): March 3-7

• On Friday, every game, including both Grocery Game and Range Game, is played for a car. Range Game in particular is noteworthy, as it offers a $9,600 Cadillac. This is one of only four known episodes on which each game is played for a car, the other three being the ceremonial 5,000th episode in Season 26, the "teen drivers" episode in Season 40, and the "sweet 16" episode in Season 43.

Week 34 (138): April 21-25

Week 36 (140): May 5-9

Week 37 (141): May 12-16

• Tuesday show features well-known contestant Ruphina, who gives a bizarre explanation of how she made a perfect bid on carpeting in Contestants' Row.

Week 46 (150): July 14-16, August 18, July 18

• Originally scheduled for July 14-18.
• Tuesday show features the debut of Ten Chances.
• On its earliest playings, Ten Chances's prizes were introduced one at a time, each with its own music, and with a pause after each one during which Bob would build up to the next reveal; additionally, the first two prizes were pushed out in front of Door #3 by Anitra and Janice instead of being behind the doors.
• At some point later in the summer, Ten Chances changes its prize reveal for a single playing to the one that would eventually become Master Key's. The game's first standard prize reveal, with the first two prizes being shown behind Door #3 and then moving away to the right to reveal the car, is believed to debut on the playing after that one.
• Early in Ten Chances's existance, the contestant pushed the buttons to see whether or not each guess was right; this may well have been done away with after only one episode, as the player on the debut seemed very uncomfortable about checking her own bids.

Week 47 (151): July 21-25

• For reasons unknown, after Thursday, Card Game is removed from the pricing game rotation.

Week 51 (155): August 19-22

• Only four shows; Monday has the delayed July 17 episode.
• Tuesday show introduces Price's first major set overhaul. The Big Doors' color scheme completely changes, although their patterns remain the same; their frames become green, and the strips going around them change to pink on Door #1, orange on Door #2, and reddish-brown on Door #3. The Barker Wall's color scheme is changed to green borders and red dots. The stationary panels of the Turntable wall change to purple surrounding orange, and the turning panel gains a solid red pattern on the front side and a dotted pattern on the game side; additionally, the light matrix behind the Turntable has its colors similarly updated. The brown portion of the Giant Price Tag becomes green. The orange portion of the Clam becomes brown. The G-T asterisks on the floor in front of Contestants' Row become red. Contestants' Row itself has its original eggcrate displays replaced with much flashier sportstype displays, each one a different color; from left to right, they are red, green, orange, and blue. Additionally, the displays no longer have asterisks in them. The seat covers on the chairs behind Contestants' Row change from brown to blue. The Showcase podiums are now both white; their asterisks and the stripes along their sides are changed to green for the Top Winner and red for the Runner-Up.
  • As an interesting footnote to this, Season 4's first six nighttime episodes were taped between #1545D and #1552D; these programs feature almost all of the set updates introduced this week but use the old Contestants' Row displays and the brown Giant Price Tag. This combination of set pieces never appeared on the daytime show.
• Around this time, the color schemes are also updated for Clock Game, Give or Keep, and the base of Range Game; Clock Game and Give or Keep, however, are known to have still been using their original color schemes this week.
• Beginning on Tuesday, Dian wears a brunette wig in an attempt to look more like Anitra.
• Tuesday show features the debut of Golden Road.
• On Tuesday, Golden Road is played third. As far as is known, this is its only appearance on which it was not the first game of the day until Christmas week of Season 45.
• On Golden Road's first playing only, the numbers are in a bulky font.
• On Wednesday, the sides of the Any Number board are still brown.
• On Wednesday, Grocery Game's table is redone with vertical pink and purple stripes; this change is not present on the above-mentioned nighttime episodes.

Week 52 (156): August 25-29

• Season finale week.
• Season 4 begins next Monday.
• On Wednesday, the Double Prices podium becomes green, and a question mark is added to it.
• On Friday, the curtains behind the audience are still the original, yellow ones.
• By Friday, the front side of the Turntable wall has been altered to have a red-bricked appearance.
• By Friday, Ten Chances has adopted its first standard prize reveal.

Season 4 ('75-'76)

Pricing game calendar for Season 4, hosted by Scorpz.

Week 1 (157): September 1-5

• Sometime this week, Richard Dawson and Charles Nelson Reilly appear (not necessarily on the same show) to congratulate Price on its third anniversary -- a landmark which, oddly enough, Price itself does not celebrate until next week, despite it occurring this Thursday.
• On Friday, Bonus Game returns to the daytime game rotation, presumably with its color scheme updated to better mesh with the show's new set.

Week 2 (158): September 11-12, 8-10

• Originally scheduled for September 8-12.
• This week of shows introduces the hour format. Six pricing games are played each day instead of three, and the Showcase Showdowns are introduced to determine which contestant from each set of three games will advance to the Showcase.
• As a result of the trial hour episodes, the show commandeers Gambit's timeslot each day this week, running from 10:30-11:30 Eastern/9:30-10:30 Central.
• In the opening, Johnny refers to this week's episodes as "super anniversary show specials": "A fortune in fabulous prizes may go to these people today if they know when, in our super anniversary show special, The Price Is Right!" By Friday, this has changed slightly, to, "A fortune in fabulous prizes may go to these people today on this super anniversary week special if they know when The Price Is Right!" He also states during his sign-off on Monday that he is speaking for "The Price Is Right Anniversary Specials."
• On all shows this week, the words "ANNIVERSARY WEEK" are hung on the frame atop Door #2.
• This week's openings introduce the light border, which begins its existence as a simple ring of chasing light bulbs a short distance into the screen; by Friday, an opaque yellow border has been added around the lights that extends to the edges of the screen. After Johnny calls the fourth contestant, the light border moves outward and leaves the screen as the show's logo appears.
• This week establishes the mid-show bumper that occurs on hour shows after the fourth game. During the commercial break, a camera pans the audience as Johnny says, "Stay tuned for more pricing games and the fabulous Showcases, which are coming up on the second half of this special one-hour edition of The Price Is Right!" with consolation prize music playing; as he finishes talking, the show's logo zooms onto the screen in the same fashion as at the end of the opening.
• By Friday, the procedure for the bumper has changed slightly; it now occurs at the end of Act 4, before the commercials, and it includes the light border, which also mimics its behavior from the end of the opening.
• The Showcase Showdown uses a sideways-spinning wheel that has come to be known unofficially as "the Rainbow Wheel." The leader's podium/scoreboard is positioned to the right of the wheel.
• On Monday only, the contestants line up to spin the "Rainbow Wheel" in Contestants' Row, which has its bid displays replaced with wheel-like markers numbered for the first, second, and third spinners. From Tuesday onward, the contestants simply line up onstage to the left of the wheel.
• A series of odd noises plays as the "Rainbow Wheel" spins.
• No fanfare is played when a dollar is spun in the Showcase Showdown.
• As with all pricing game segments, the show's theme plays while going to commercial after the Showcase Showdowns.
• This week establishes that hour-long shows have no commercial during the Showcase. The descriptive labels are placed in the podiums during the course of the second showcase.
• The consolation prize plugs this week are done before the first Showcase Showdown; at the end of the plugs, Johnny throws back to the commercials with, "Coming up next, our fabulous, exciting Price Is Right Showcase Showdown!"
• By this point, the show is giving two consolation prizes in each episode; in the first episode, only one was given. We really don't know when this changed.
• On this week of shows only, Janice and Dian are assisted by a third Beauty named Barbara.
• By Monday show, the curtains behind the audience have changed to a pattern of vertical stripes; going left to right, they are colored red-blue-green-yellow-red-blue-green-yellow.
• On Monday, Golden Road is still using its original, lever-based price reveals.
• On Monday, Grocery Game is still using its short-lived striped table.
• On Monday, Most Expensive's second set is introduced; the game no longer shares props with Five Price Tags.
• On Monday show, Any Number uses its original prize reveal; this may have been a staging issue, as the 3-digit prize on this playing was a chaise lounge.
• By Monday, the base of the Range Game board has become blue.
• By Monday, the Give or Keep board has become green.
• Tuesday show features the debut of Poker Game.
• Poker Game does not appear again after this episode for several weeks.
• Poker Game originally allows the contestant to make whatever hand he wants from his selected prices and does not allow him to pass his hand to the house.
• On the game's earliest appearances, the background of the number lights in Poker Game is white.
• Thursday show features the debut of 1 Right Price, at least as far as the daytime show goes; it had previously appeared on two early Season 1 nighttime shows with a different, three-prize format.
• As such, Thursday also marks the debut of 1 Right Price's normal rules.
• Thursday also marks the introduction of 1 Right Price's second set; its first set was only used on the Season 1 nighttime playings.
• After Thursday, 1 Right Price does not appear again until the permanent hour conversion.
• Card Game appears on Friday for the first time since July 24; this is its only appearance of the season until the permanent hour conversion.

Week 3 (159): September 15-19

Week 9 (165): October 27-31

• By Monday, Anitra has returned.
• All this week, Janice and Anitra wear "Hour Power" shirts to promote the upcoming format change.
• On Monday, Bert Convy appears to congratulate Bob on the upcoming hour expansion; on Tuesday, Charles Nelson Reilly appears for the same purpose. It seems likely that a CBS or Goodson-Todman personality appeared every day this week.
• By Monday, Poker Game's rules have been changed to automatically make the contestant's hand the best one that can be made from the prices he has selected and to allow the contestant to pass his hand to the house.

Week 10 (166): November 3-7

• On Monday, the show expands to an hour permanently. Half-hour shows are still done on occasion when CBS's schedule calls for it up through February of 1994.

• The show now airs from 10:00-11:00 Eastern/9:00-10:00 Central.

• Beginning on Monday, the phrase "One Hour" flashes on the screen in blue (or on occaison, red or green) script while Johnny does the opening spiel.
• On Monday, the opening spiel changes to, "And here it comes! The first, big, hour-long game show in television! The fabulous, new, 60-minute Price Is Right!" (On Monday, this is preceded by, "Starting today.")
• By Monday, Golden Road has replaced its original, lever-based price reveals with a push-button system.
• By Monday, Grocery Game's table has changed again, this time to a red-brick appearance.
• By Monday, the side of the Any Number board has become green.
• As of Monday, the Big Wheel replaces the "Rainbow Wheel" in the Showcase Showdown; the numbers appear in the same order on both wheels.
• The Showcase Showdown's regular spin-off rules are now in place; in the trial hour shows of Week 1, contestants could take two spins in a spin-off.
• The Big Wheel's original, weak-sounding beeps are used for the first few years of the hour format.
• The ticket plug, when it is done, is now placed before the first Showcase Showdown.
• Starting on Monday, Bob tosses to the mid-show bumper with the phrase, "There is more Price Is Right coming up!"
• On Monday, the text of the mid-show bumper is shortened to, "Stay tuned for more pricing games and the fabulous Showcases, coming up on the second half of The Price Is Right."
• As of Monday, the background of the number windows in Poker Game is black.
• On Monday, the Top Winner still stands at the green Showcase podium.

Week 13 (169): November 24-26, 28

Week 15 (171): December 8-9, 11-12

• Only four shows; Wednesday has December Magazine.
• By Monday, the apparently misnamed 1976 music package has debuted.
• On Tuesday, the show's theme is still being used while going to commercial from the Showcase Showdowns.
• On Thursday, the opening titles still read "One Hour".

Week 16 (172): December 15-19

• Tuesday is likely the first episode where the opening titles read "Hour Power" instead of "One Hour".
• By Friday, the opening titles have been changed to "Hour Power", and their first standard font has debuted.
• On Friday, Johnny is not yet being shown while calling contestants.
• On Friday, the Showcase winner's difference is exactly $100; this leads to an awkward moment where Bob has to explain that, since the rule states "less than $100 away," she has not won both showcases.

Week 17 (173): December 22-26

Week 18 (174): December 29-31, January 2

• New Year's week; only four shows.

Week 19 (175): January 5-9

• Thursday show features the debut of Danger Price.

Week 20 (176): January 12-16

• On Tuesday, the "Walking" cue is used instead of the usual songs for the opening and the come on downs. "Walking" permanently replaces the original cues several weeks later, likely on February 19.

Week 21 (177): January 19-23

• Monday's show was taped immediately after the December 9 episode; as such, any changes that have occurred since then are not present on Monday.
• In Thursday's first Showcase Showdown, Bob mistakenly counts contestant Rose's first spin despite having correctly predicted that it would not go all the way around; this leads to her next spin, which lands on the dollar, making her go over instead of tying her for the lead and winning her $1,000.
• Thursday's second showcase, a Bicentennial Salute to General George Marshall, includes an autographed photograph of General Marshall; this is regarded as a bonus, and the contestants are instructed not to include it while bidding.

Week 22 (178): January 26-30

• On Wednesday, the opening titles are pink.
• By Wednesday, the Showcase Showdown's original split-screen arrow graphic is in use.
• Prior to the adoption of the split-screen graphic during the Showcase Showdown, the show had briefly used a close-up shot of the wheel, with the camera gradually tilting downward as it came to rest; this shot would resurface 28 years later, during the winter of Season 32.

Week 23 (179): February 2-6

Week 24 (180): February 9-13

Week 25 (181): February 16-20

• As of Tuesday, the original opening and "come on down" cues are still in use.
• On Tuesday, the infamous Patricia Bernard incident occurs, with Johnny calling a contestant while she is in the bathroom. Although this has happened at least two other times in the show's run, Patricia's is by far the best-known.
• Around this time, and most likely on Thursday, the opening and "come on down" cues are replaced with the cue called "Walking." The version used in the opening is more fully orchestrated, with more instruments, than the one used during the body of the show.
• Thursday show features the debut of Hurdles.

Week 26 (182): February 23-27

• Only four shows; Wednesday has March Magazine.
• Thursday show features an April Fool's "Bicentennial Salute" showcase honoring a great American physician and author named Dr. John Barrett Clapinger, who supposedly disappeared several years ago while on an expedition in Howard Cosell's mouth. The prizes offered include two of Clapinger's books, The Clapinger Report and I'm OK, and I Don't Give a Flying Fig What You Are, the former of which cites Vitamin C as a treatment for broken legs and as an effective bathroom disinfectant and the latter of which "traces existentialist thought from Camus to Bette Midler" and pauses to ask the question, "was Jack the Ripper even as the trees and the stars a child of the universe?"; a trip to Flushing, New York, where Dr. Clapinger was awarded the prestigious Plotkin Prize; a case of athlete's foot personally awarded by Anitra, in honor of the Clapinger Clinic that the doctor had founded to treat said affliction; and an autographed leg cast presented right on the Turntable by the widowed Mrs. Clapinger. At this point, the showcase appears to fall apart, as another woman comes around on the Turntable, claims to be Mrs. Clapinger, and gets into an argument with the first Mrs. Clapinger; in the middle of the argument, Dr. Clapinger himself comes around on the Turntable and is chased into the audience by his two infuriated wives. The real showcase is a Cadillac El Dorado, making this the second of only three known showcases to consist of only one prize. The showcase is also somewhat noteworthy for its appearance by Roger, who played the part of Dr. Clapinger.

Week 32 (188): April 5-9

Week 33 (189): April 12-16

• Monday show features the debut of Cliff Hangers.

Week 34 (190): April 19-23

Week 35 (191): April 26-30

• Tuesday show features the debut of Safe Crackers.
• On very early playings of Safe Crackers, if the game is lost, one of the Beauties dials in the correct combination and opens the safe.

Week 36 (192): May 3-7

• On Tuesday, a showcase about "making it in Hollywood" includes a chance to "represent all Price Is Right contestants" at a ceremony for Bob on the Walk of Fame the next day; although the contestants are never instructed not to bid on this, it seems likely that it was a bonus.

Week 37 (193): May 10-14

• On Friday, the famous Janice Pennington, This Is Your Strife showcase is presented; it features prizes that Janice had trouble modeling over the years -- a pop-up bar that wouldn't pop up, a refrigerator that nearly fell on her when she opened it, and a car that she almost wrecked during Lucky Seven (which is driven by Dian this time around) -- along with clips of her unsuccessful attempts to model them. The staff actually rehearsed a fake showcase before the taping that day so that Janice would have no idea what was happening.

• If Bullseye does indeed debut this Thursday, it is the only appearance of the game this season.
• At the beginning of its life, Bullseye's target has a range of $5-$10, with $9-$10 as the bullseye.
• At the beginning of its life, Bullseye's "hidden bullseye" allows a contestant to win if it is with the product whose marker on the target is the closest one to the bullseye.
• Bob incorrectly states that Friday's show is the 1,000th episode; in reality, it is only the 950th episode.
• As of Friday, the Range Game board is still blue.
• On Friday, in an unusual move, Range Game's prize, a grandfather clock, is concealed in the Clam.

• Based on a series of odd reschedulings early in this season that involves Weeks 201-204 airing after Weeks 205-207, it seems possible that Weeks 201-204 were originally planned as part of Season 4.
• On at least this week's Friday show, the "Hour Power" text in the opening is full-sized the entire time it is onscreen.
• On Friday, the color of "Price" in the graphical logo is still yellow.
• By Friday, "Dig We Must" has replaced the end of the show's theme as the "money win" cue for the Showcase Showdown.

Week 5 (205): August* 30-September 3

• Originally scheduled for September 27-October 1.
• CBS regards this week's Monday show, which was the first Season 5 episode to air, as the season premiere; however, I have chosen to regard episode #2012D as such, as there are indications that the first seven weeks of the season were not originally intended to be broadcast so dramatically out of order.

Week 6 (206): September 6-10

• Originally scheduled for October 4-8.
• On Thursday, Range Game is played for a car.

• By Thursday, the range on the Bullseye board has been changed to $1-$6, with $5-$6 as the bullseye.
• Fairly early in Bullseye's life, the rules are altered to state that the contestant will win if the hidden bullseye is with any product that has a marker on the target; it seems likely that this change also occurs this Thursday.

• Originally scheduled for May 16-20.
• Monday show is a half-hour episode.
• On Wednesday, during the third playing of Hole in One, Bob tells the contestant that there is a 10-second time limit for each grocery pick; there is no official record of the game having a timer, so this was likely just Bob trying to move the game along when it started to take longer than the staff thought it would.
• Oddly, Bob tells Wednesday's Hole in One contestant that she is the second person to play the game; she is actually the third.
• By Wednesday, Double Prices and 1 Right Price have begun using their second/third podiums.

• Season finale week.

Pricing game calendar for Season 25, hosted by Scorpz.

Week 0: Night of Friday, August 23

• The Price Is Right 25th Anniversary Special (#0001S) airs on Friday night.
• Special begins with Bob standing behind Door #2, inviting the viewers to “stick around;” the video then cuts to the opening.
• Rod’s opening spiel is, “It’s a special! It’s very special! It’s very, very special! It’s The Price Is Right 25th Anniversary Special!” The first three sentences of the spiel, minus the lone comma and the Italics, also comprise the episode’s opening titles, which are displayed in a font not used on any other episode.
• The first four contestants are told, “You are the first four contestants on The Price Is Right 25th Anniversary Special!”
• This is the only primetime special during the Bob Barker era to utilize the light border, and the only one overall to use opening titles.
• The curtains behind the audience are a silver version of the ones that normally appear there.
• The center of the wall behind the audience is covered with a “25th Anniversary Special” sign that is flanked by two “Outstanding Game Show 1995-1996” signs. The former also appears on the front side of the spinning panel of the Turntable wall, and the latter signs also flank Door #2, accompanied by gigantic Emmy statues.
• The show is an hour long, but it consists of only six segments, shows numerous clips, and uses the half-hour gameplay format; the second segment of the program contains no gameplay at all.
• The mid-show bumper occurs during the third commercial break; Rod says, "The Price Is Right 25th Anniversary Special will continue," while the camera takes a still shot of the sign behind the center of the audience. The same shot is also shown briefly with no voice-overs immediately before the end of the same commercial break, similar to what was done on the '86 Specials.
• As this Special was taped out of order, a small number of the clips shown are from Season 25 episodes.
• Beginning with this episode, the panels of the Big Doors are replaced with the panels from the Davidson version, which have been painted with very slightly altered versions of the daytime patterns; the most notable difference is the significant sharpening of the innermost upper curves on Door #2. This change carries over to the daytime show when new episodes resume.
• Beginning with this episode, the show’s logo on the Big Doors has a shadow painted behind it and is accompanied by drawings of confetti, balloons, and a blue streamer. The blue balloon has a CBS Eye logo on it, and the left side of the streamer contains the words “25 Years on CBS.”
• On Special, Plinko is played for $50,000, with a $10,000 slot replacing the $5,000 slot. The game is introduced normally, and the center slot is initially covered with a noticeably non-flashing “5000” panel.
• The $10,000 slot on the Plinko board has an enlarged "10" and a scrunched "000".
• A small tribute to Johnny is presented immediately before Rod calls the night’s final contestant. Oddly, Rod is shown after the tribute but is not on-camera while actually calling the contestant.
• Rod signs off from the Special with, "This is Rod Roddy speaking for The Price Is Right 25th Anniversary Special, a Mark Goodson television production!"
• CBS’s airing of the Special ends with split-screened credits, which have become the norm for the network’s primetime programs by this point. In the split-screen graphics, the show’s name is misspelled as “The Price Is Right Primtime Special.”

Week 1 (1,003 – #004xK): September 9-13

• On Monday, Rod introduces Bob as "The star of The Price Is Right, soon to celebrate his 40th year on television, Bob Barker!"

• On Tuesday, Punch a Bunch's second set debuts.
• Early in the life of the second Punchboard, the "Punch a Bunch" logo was slightly different, with sunbursts on some of the holes in the "P" and the "B."

This refers to an inaccurate count of the number of daytime shows that had been taped prior to the tapings for this set of MDSs; at that time, they had done up through this week's Wednesday show, which in reality was the 6,342nd show.

• Beginning on Monday, Magic #'s "tinkle" sound effect reverts to a lower-pitched version of the original sound.

• Originally scheduled for October 31-November 2, November 3 x2, November 4 x2.
• This week consists of seven episodes; its original Thursday and Friday shows were aired out of order earlier in the season, and alternate episodes were created to replace them.
• The alternate Thursday and Friday shows feature exactly the same pricing game lineups as the original ones, many similar or identical prizes (including in the Showcase), and at least one obviously recycled Showcase theme. They were given production numbers #3424K and #3425K only for the sake of convenience; those numbers would otherwise have gone unused, as week #342xK is the week of Thanksgiving. They could reasonably be regarded as episodes #3394K(R) and #3395K(R) (although those numbers are by no means official).
• On Monday show, the prize labels in Clearance Sale are written in much thinner text than usual.
• Beginning on Wednesday, the red and green stripes on the rainbow behind Golden Road's car switch places.
• Alternate Thursday show is Phire's first episode, although not the first episode that she taped.

• Beginning on original Friday show, the three contestants who didn't make it onstage are shown all at once at the beginning of the consolation prize plugs.
• On original Friday show, Temptation Cue 1 is played during the second closed-captioning intro.
• The alternate Thursday and Friday shows were taped fairly far out of order and thus contain a number of differences from this week's other episodes, as such:
  • On the alternate Thursday show, there is no ticket plug; more details on this can be found below in Week 9.
  • On the alternate Friday show, a new "e-ticket plug" that explains how to order tickets from CBS.com airs in place of the regular ticket plug.
  • On the alternate Thursday and Friday shows, the words "on The Price Is Right" are missing from the first closed-captioning intro.
  • On the alternate Thursday and Friday shows, the mid-show bumper is absent; more details on this can be found below in Week 9.
  • On the alternate Thursday and Friday shows, the standard camera pan is used for the "contestants not appearing onstage" shot, although it is executed more quickly than usual.

• On Thursday, Push Over is played for a car.

Week 9 (1,340 – 341xK): November 14-18

• On Wednesday, 1 Wrong Price is played for three trips.
• Friday show has the first of two parts of a reveal change for Safe Crackers; Door #2 is already open as the game begins, and the game's music begins playing when Bob asks the Beauty on duty to open the safe.
• On Friday, Safe Crackers is played for a car.

Week 10 (1,341 – 342xK): November 21-23

• Thanksgiving week; only three shows.
• While episodes #3424K and #3425K do exist, they were created solely as alternate Thursday and Friday shows for Week 7 and should not be considered part of Week 10.
• By Monday show, the frequency chart in Pocket ¢hange has been redone to better stand out; it now appears on a "patch" on the jeans-like board. While I can't prove it, this may also be when the game's current money distribution was introduced.
• Wednesday show debuts the Clock Game board's blue & yellow color scheme.

Week 11 (1,342 – 343xK): November 28-December 2

• On October 11, 2006, this week's Monday show was rerun in the Mountain and Pacific Time Zones; on January 2, 2007, the Wednesday show was rerun in the same areas. Due to the circumstances that caused the episodes to be reaired, these airings had no CBS bug on the screen and included the real credits.
• On Wednesday, the camera pan returns permanently to the "contestants not appearing on stage" shot, although it is now executed more quickly than before.
• On Thursday, hearkening back to the September 9, 1986, episode, Fingers again dances the Gator before the second Showcase Showdown.

Week 14 (1,345 – 346xK): December 19-23

• The set is decorated for Christmas all week. In an unorthodox move, a permanent set piece was altered for this week -- the "knot" on the Giant Price Tag was painted to look like a candy cane with holly around it. For whatever reason -- possibly because it was the first show of the week to be taped -- the Showcase podiums' decorations are absent on Tuesday.
• All Christmas shows this season have a Christmas pattern replacing the light border; it is similar to what was done in Season 31, although this year's actually has some lights in it.
• All Christmas shows this season have opening titles of "Merry Christmas" followed by the same phrase in two foreign lanuages (not all of which use the Roman alphabet). The titles are in white text with a red outline.

Week 25 (1,356 – 357xK): March 27-31

• On Tuesday, the second showcase is "Prizes Revealed as We Learn Which Games Our Models Would Like to Play;" during this showcase, Clock Game, Side by Side, and the Hole in One sign are all present on the stage. The numbers on Side by Side do not appear to correspond to any prize associated with it on this episode, its last playing, or its next playing.
• In Thursday's Hit Me, with a score of 16-20, Bob has the house stay on a soft 20, resulting in a loss.

Week 26 (1,357 – 358xK): April 3-7

• On Wednesday, Five Price Tags switches yet again to its new small prize backdrops.
• Friday's show appears to have mistakenly had a signal embedded in it halfway through Act 4 that alerts stations to cut away from the national feed for the mid-break and air their local ads; as a result of this, during both the show's original broadcast and its rerun broadcast, a number of stations did not air most of the fourth game.
• On Friday, the Beauties turn Barker's Bargain Bar's trilons by hand.

Week 27 (1,358 – 359xK): April 24-28

• A CBS.com schedule exists that lists this week's shows as airing on April 10-14 and every show from next Monday through the end of the season airing one week earlier than it actually did. I have chosen to note this here instead of listing these as reschedulings because I believe the staff knew about the changes far enough in advance to adjust anything date-sensitive in the episodes.

• By Monday, Safe Crackers has settled on beginning its new reveal with a close-up shot of the word "Safe", with the camera then zooming out and moving downward to show Bob and the contestant.

Week 32 (1,363 – 364xK): June 26, May 30-June 2

Week 22 (1,388 – 389xK): February 19-23

• Tuesday's fifth Item up for Bids appears to have had an all-overbid edited out of it; as the winner comes onstage, Bob comments that another contestant should have "bid $1 when the audience wanted her to," but no such urging took place on the air, and such a bid would not have won in the round that was broadcast.

Week 30 (1,396 – 397xK): April 30-May 4

• On Monday, Dice Game gets a new dice table; aside from that facts that its top is clear again and that a panel with three dice drawn on the its side and a Goodson-Todman asterisk on the top has been added the side, there is no way to distinguish it from the old one.
• On Tuesday, the Train appears in a non-Train Depot showcase.

• On MDS, for no apparent reason, the panels for Door #1 and Door #3 are in the wrong doors.

• The theme goes back to being absent after losses that are not followed by a commercial break.
• MDS uses the same style of opening as MDSs 13-15.
• On MDS, Bob enters through Door #2 despite Golden Road being the first game; to keep the game from being given away, the dots that form the road are not used.
• MDS retains the mid-show bumper, which occurs during the break between the first Showcase Showdown and the Act 4-5-6; it consists of Rich saying, "The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular will continue!" over a shot of the audience as the primetime opening cue plays and the graphical MDS logo flies into the corner of the screen.
• As of this MDS, primetime specials no longer have closed-captioning plugs.

• MDS's first showcase includes clips of Bob hosting Truth or Consequences.

Primetime Thursday

• 50 Years special is an hour long but consists of only six segments, features numerous clips, and uses the half-hour gameplay format; the third segment of the show contains no gameplay.
• 50 Years special's logo is a red-and-white-marbled star with the phrase "A Celebration of Bob Barker's 50 Years in Television" over it; "Celebration" is on a golden streamer, and "in" is inside of a television set. For this episode, this logo supplants the "The Price Is Right" logo in the opening, on the Big Doors, on the Turntable, during the mid-show bumper, and during the consolation prize plugs; it is also present behind the audience, as well as in place of the MDS logo on the 6-digit Showcase podiums.
• On 50 Years special, the Big Doors are reminiscent of MDS Door #3, but with emmy statues instead of dollar signs; the same is true of the Turntable walls, although the far-left "extra" panel looks the same as it does on the daytime show.
• On 50 Years special, the 50 Years logo is accompanied by six pictures of Bob throughout the years on the Big Doors and behind the audience; a different set of picture appears in each of the four locations. Pictures are also shown inside of "televisions" that are "stacked" between the Big Doors.
• On 50 Years special, bursts of light, somewhat resembling snowflakes or fireworks, are projected against the curtains behind the audience.
• On 50 Years special, Bob wears a tuxedo.
• 50 Years special begins with Bob standing in front of the plaque presented on the ceremonial 5,000th episode, saying, "From the Bob Barker Studio, CBS is celebrating my 50 years in television. Come on down; let's party!" The picture then cuts to a montage of photos, with the beginning of the show's theme, a portion of "Walking", "The Bean Stalker", "The Cats", and the end of the theme playing in the background; the light border is present on the screen while "Walking" plays. As the montage ends, the picture wipes to a shot of the audience for the traditional opening.
• Rich's opening speil on the 50 Years special is as follows: "Tonight, from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS Television City in Hollywood: a special show celebrating Bob Barker's 50 years in television!"
• 50 Years specials's opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants to celebrate Bob Barker's 50 years in television! And now, here is the man who's been entertaining America for 50 wonderful years, Bob Barker!"
• The bulk of the 50 Years special is comprised of clips not only from The Price Is Right, but also of Bob hosting Truth or Consequences and appearing in a bit part on Bonanza. An interview with Bob is also shown during the third segment.
• For no apparent reason, the clip of the tube top incident from the September 14, 1977 episode is edited to show the current light border instead of the original one.
• On 50 Years special, Les Moonves speaks during the third segment.
• 50 Years special retains the mid-show bumper, which occurs during the third commercial break. It consists of Rich saying, "Bob Barker: A Celebration of 50 Years in Television will continue!" over a shot of the audience as the 50 Years logo flies into the corner of the screen and one of the primetime "return from commercial" music stings plays in the background.
• After Plinko, the fight scene from Happy Gilmore is aired in its entirety, uncensored; after the clip ends, Adam Sandler appears and reads a rather unique poem that he has written for Bob.
• 50 Years special's consolation prize plugs occur at the beginning of the fifth segment; as there is no gameplay immediately following them, Rich throws to Bob with, "And now, here's Bob Barker!"
• On Canada's SunTV, 50 Years special was aired with its real credit roll.
• By the time of this special, and since the game's previous win on the daytime show, Triple Play stops using the "clang/whoop" sound effects during wins.

Week 33 (1,399 – 400xK): May 21-25

• Thursday show is not aired on the East Coast until May 28.

Week 34 (1,400 – 401xK): May 29-June 1

• The confetti seen being thrown at various times on Friday's show was not a planned event; it was brought in by a member of the audience.
• While the idea was floated at one point of having the second half of Friday's show be the lineup from 0011D in reverse, various issues kept Bonus Game from being used in the episode; as a substitution of sorts, it was instead scheduled as 001N in reverse.
• On Friday, Double Prices is played for a car.
• The primetime reairing of Friday's show does not include the closed-captioning plugs.
• The primetime reairing of Friday's show includes a slightly extended version of the credits, done in the same style as on MDSs, before cutting away to the split-screen ads; this was created specifically for this broadcast and is not the show's real credit roll, which, as can be seen on the DVD set released in 2008, was done completely normally.
• The primetime reairing of Friday's show includes an extra segment after the credits which serves as a segue to the subsequently-airing Daytime Emmy Awards. In the segment, Bob leaves the stage and walks into a staff party in his dressing room, only to be reminded by Rachel, Gabrielle, and Lanisha that he has to leave to attend the Awards show.

Season 36 ('07-'08)

Pricing game calendar for Season 36, hosted by Scorpz.

Week 1 (1,403 – 404xK): October 16 & 29, November 13, January 2, November 20

• Originally scheduled for October 15-19.
• On Monday, Drew becomes the show's host.
• As of Monday, Syd Vinnedge assumes the role of executive producer, and Kathy "Fingers" Greco, Stan Blits, and Sue MacIntyre are promoted to the new position of co-producer.
• Drew's microphone is cordless; other than that, it is basically identical to Bob's.
• On Monday, a new version of the show's logo debuts, with an orange pattern appearing behind most of the dollar sign and a larger, red pattern appearing behind the words and the right edge of the dolllar sign; they fit together to form a mushroom-like shape when viewed sideways. This logo, which has the dollar sign and "Price" in yellow and the other words in white, is placed on the Big Doors, the signs behind the audience, the end of the opening, the closed captioning plugs, and the consolation prize plugs. The yellow and red version of the logo is no longer displayed anywhere on the permanent set, although it remains in place at the end of the credits.
• The new logo appears on the screen at the end of the opening by flying in from all directions: The border of the orange section flies in from the left; the border of the red section from the right; the dollar sign from the top; and the words from the bottom. This version of the logo has no background.
• The star wipe at the end of the opening no longer spins; instead, the star shape, with an orange trail, simply zooms toward the center at the first transition and out from the center at the second. Over the course of the first several taping sessions, the second transition is altered to show a spinning star and is subsequently replaced with a simple cut.
• On Monday, for the first time in its history outside of the Davidson version, The Price Is Right introduces an entirely new set, although one with the same basic structure and an identical layout. The changes are as follows:
  • The Big Doors are again distinguishable from one another via their color schemes, with each one having an identical pattern of "hypocycloids," a combination of diamonds and circles; the patterns are orange on Door #1, blue on Door #2, and green on Door #3. The new doors have wider panels, with each door being eight panels long as opposed to 12 in the old set. Additionally, the doorframes, which are noticeably thinner than before, no longer curve around the bottoms of the doors; instead, they end on each side in a box with a yellow Goodson-Todman asterisk on it. The boxes are purple on the front and the same shade of green as the doorframes on the sides. The doors now have two layers of chase lights on them instead of one, and between each frame and set of lights, there is a strip of LED lighting which is capable of changing colors, although it remains static during most of the show, changing between acts and always being red during the Showcase Showdowns. The frames no longer have gold strips on them, and the area around the doorframes is now a grayish white; a pattern of stars is projected onto the white area above the doors. The show's modified logo is not centered on the doors; instead, it is positioned so that the orange part is on the left-hand panels and the red part is on the right-hand panels. Additionally, in the version of the logo seen on the doors, the dollar sign is entirely within the orange segment.
  • The Turntable walls have been squared off, except for the upper-left corner of the "extra" panel, and the gold wall borders have been replaced with much thinner green ones similar to the doorframes; the border extends across the bottom only on the turning panel. The wall patterns are now a purple version of the hypocycloid pattern seen on the Big Doors; the front side of the turning panel also contains the classic version of the show's logo, using the same color scheme as the new version. The interior wall panel once again has a pattern on it; it now shows the same hypocycloid pattern as the other walls. The lights last seen in 1982 are restored to the interior borders of the turning and center wall panels, although they no longer chase. The carpet is still mostly blue, although the middle step in the staircase has been changed back to green.
  • The curtains behind the audience are now pastel blue, yellow, and red, with strings of lights adorned with Goodson-Todman asterisks and hypocycloid diamonds visible between them; they now extend behind the show's logo on the signs in the back. The curtain covering the PA booth is now yellow, and a blue curtain has been draped around Rich's podium.
  • The glittery, silver border around the Contestants' Row displays is now much thinner, with most of the border having been restored to green. The words "The", "Price", Is", and "Right" no longer appear on the seat covers in Contestants' Row; instead, each cover is sky blue with a Barker Wall hexagon on it in red and yellow.
  • The Barker Wall is redone in blue, green, yellow, and purple; the light matrix behind the Turntable is also redesigned, now sporting diamonds of these same colors.
  • The fourth Giant Price Tag debuts. The tag displays the show's updated logo with the same background as Door #3. The knot from the third tag is replaced with an eight-pointed, red-bordered yellow starburst covered with yellow lights; on the second day of the season's third week of tapings, the starburst becomes orange, although the lights remain yellow. The border of the tag is white with a strip of blue neon lighting.
  • The Clam is repainted. It now features a Pricedown dollar sign on a blue hypocycloid background; the darker diamonds are replaced by alternating light and dark Pricedown dollar signs. The entire pattern is place on a yellow background.
  • The Showcase podiums are painted green. The Goodson-Todman asterisks on the are removed, replaced with three hypocycloid-ish diamonds; the diamonds increase in size from left to right on the Runner-Up's podium, whereas they increase in size from right to left on the Top Winner's podium. The bases of the podiums are now the same blue as the carpet, and the borders have been painted a gray-silver, with the portions above the legs designed to appear studded. The "SHOWcase" text has been painted yellow, and the descriptive placards have been changed to green text on a yellow background; additionally, the text has been redone with the font from More or Less.
  • The Race Game Curtain is modified to have the name tag say "Drew" instead of "Bob" and to reflect the changes made to the Showcase podiums.
• Beginning on Monday, new, jazzier remixes of the show's theme, "Walking," and "Dig We Must" are introduced.
• Beginning on Monday, the "money win" graphics in the Showcase Showdown, Grand Game, Punch a Bunch, Plinko, and Clock Game are changed to the Pricedown font; this also applies to the graphics used to display the winnings of a Showcase winner who has won at least $35,000.
• On Monday, the end of the show's theme and a sped up version of the end of the theme are added to the rotation of cues played during the closed-captioning plugs; at the same time, three of the existing cues are removed.
• On Monday, the ticket plug is restored, with a modified version of the e-ticket plug airing every day.
• Beginning on Monday, the music during the consolation prizes is replaced with a rock-ish remix of the show's theme.
• Beginning on Monday, the transitions during the consolation prize plugs are changed; the first and last transitions are similar to a vertical version of the Plinko sign, while the second transition retains the "spinning block" but now has it spinning only horizontally. The background for the second transition is also changed to show nine instances of the new logo against the pattern from Door #2.
• Beginning on Monday, the show is credited as "a FremantleMedia production" instead of "a Mark Goodson television production."
• Beginning on October 15, episodes of The Price Is Right become available on CBS.com's InnerTube feature for one week after their television broadcast. These online "airings" include the real credit roll.
• Beginning on Monday, the opening titles are black with yellow borders.
• Beginning on Monday, the light border in the opening is inserted into each episode using a recording of the border from earlier in the run; due to an error, the border does not cover the very edge of the picture, although this is generally only apparent on InnerTube.
• For the first six weeks of the season, the show uses a limited rotation of only 35 pricing games. At each of the first five taping sessions, Drew records one show for each week that draws from a single pool of seven games. The pools are as follows:
  • Session 1: Any Number, Double Prices, Grocery Game, Clock Game, Lucky $even, Golden Road, and Plinko.
  • Session 2: Money Game, Cliff Hangers, Barker's Bargain Bar, One Away, Eazy az 1 2 3, It's in the Bag, and Triple Play.
  • Session 3: Range Game, Race Game, 3 Strikes, Safe Crackers, Dice Game, Grand Game, and Cover Up.
  • Session 4: Hi Lo, Shell Game, Card Game, Ten Chances, Squeeze Play, Punch a Bunch, and Switch?.
  • Session 5: Temptation, 1 Right Price, Pick-a-Pair, Line em Up, Push Over, That's Too Much!, and 1/2 Off.
• Monday's first opening title is "Our 36th Year"; this also appears on the other five episodes from Drew's first taping session.
• Beginning with the last taping of the season's second session, the pan of the front row of the audience at the top of the show is restored; however, the remainder of the opening still uses the jib camera.
• At least for the time being, Drew does not use audience entrances; he enters through Door #2 for Golden Road, and other games that would require audience entrances are simply not scheduled first.
• On Monday, Golden Road temporarily does away with the dots that make up the physical road, as well as the coves sometimes used to conceal the first and second prizes; these changes are undone later in the season, although they were originally intended to be permanent.
• On Tuesday, Drew changes One Away's traditional "Ladies, do I have X numbers right?" routine to involve begging the person in charge of the sound effects for numbers, usually in the form of, "Oh, mighty sound effects lady, do I have X numbers right?".
• On the second day of the fourth week of tapings, a holographic cover is applied to the Hi Lo logo.
• On Thursday, a new, more authentic-looking $10,000 bill with a full-color portrait of Drew is added to Punch a Bunch.
• On Friday, a rule is added to 1/2 Off awarding a $500 bonus every time a contestant correctly picks a half-priced item.

• Originally scheduled for October 22-26.
• On Monday, the camera angles used at the beginning of Triple Play are changed; instead of shooting Drew and the contestant with the Turntable in the backgroud, the camera shots from Super Ball!! and three-trip Most Expensive are used.
• On Monday, the blue wall placed by the Turntable during Triple Play is done away with.
• On Tuesday, for the first time on the daytime show since February 1, 1999, Lucky $even is played in the second half.

Week 3 (1,405 – 406xK): December 13, October 15, 31, 24, & 30

• Originally scheduled for October 29-November 2.
• On Tuesday, the opening titles are blue.

The set is decorated; the prize covers in front of Door #1 and Door #3 have special graphics; Drew and the Beauties all appear in costume, as does Roger during the Showcase; Rich announces a large portion of the show as a vampire; most of the camera transitions are replaced with wavy, orange-and-black wipes; all of the "money win" graphics are orange; the light border is replaced with a border depicting a Halloween-ish scene; spooky music replaces all of the car cues and supplants the "Walking" cue during the opening until the first contestant is called; and the opening titles, which are orange and in a different font, read "Boo-tiful Prizes!", "Frightfully Fun!", and "A Spook-tacular Show!".
• For Wednesday's show, the third line of the opening is extended to, "A special Halloween edition of television's most exciting hour of fantastic prizes!".

• Originally scheduled for November 26-30.
• As the show moves into Drew's sixth through tenth taping sessions, more pricing games begin to return to the rotation; the 9th taping session overflows into the 10th, as does the 10th into the 11th, due to four tapings being cancelled on account of Drew being sick. The tapings follow the same basic pattern as the first group, with all six shows in a given set drawing from a pool of the same several "new" games and the same few "old" games. The episodes from these sessions comprise the season's 7th through 12th weeks. The "new" games from this period are as follows:
  • Session 6: Danger Price, Now....or Then, Pathfinder, and Magic #, along with Any Number, Double Prices, and Golden Road.

• On the second show of the sixth taping session, the "money win" graphics that adopted the Pricedown font on the season premiere, as well as the ones in It's in the Bag and 1/2 Off, are changed again, this time to a more free-flowing font; after the first two tapings of the seventh session, they are changed to a more condensed version of this font, and the dollar sign is replaced with the Pricedown dollar sign.
• At either the sixth or seventh taping session, the 2007 music package debuts.
• At the seventh taping session, the new TPIR logo is added to some of the lights hanging from the ceiling; these logos are sometimes visible in shots from the jib camera.

• Beginning at the ninth taping session, the LED lights around the Big Doors flash different colors on the left and right during the opening.

• Originally scheduled for January 7-11.
• At this point, due to the unusual nature of this season's schedule, the episode order skips over two weeks comprised mostly of Christmas shows to early January, when the last three weeks of shows from the second set of taping sessions air. Despite airing after episodes that they technically come before, the airdates given here for these shows are correct. It is not entirely unreasonable to disregard any sort of dating for these three weeks, as they were originally planned without taking into account the schedule interruptions that occur at and after Christmas.

Week 14 (1,416 – 417xK): December 24 & 25, January 4

• Despite airing over the course of twelve days, these three episodes are considered to be a single week with shows for Monday, Tuesday, and Friday; however, they were created with the knowledge that they would not all air at once, so no attempt was made to keep games from Monday and Tuesday from repeating on Friday.

The $1,000,000 is now offered in the Showcase, where it is awarded as a bonus for achieving a Double Showcase Win; to facilitate this, the Double Showcase range for MDSs is increased to $1,000 or less. Additionally, one pricing game in each MDS is designated as a "$1,000,000 game;" fulfilling a specified requirement in this game will cause the contestant to win $1,000,000 along with its regular prize.
• A music sting and a spinning "$1,000,000" graphic are used when the $1,000,000 game is announced; the sting and graphic are also used when Drew explains how to win the million dollars in the Showcase. Additionally, the graphic appears if the million dollars is won; in the Showcase, it appears in lieu of the "Double $howcase Winner" graphic.
• A million dollar win prompts the firing of a confetti cannon.
• The MDS logo is altered to simply feature the "$1,000,000 Spectacular" banner under the "new" logo introduced on the season premiere. Two versions of this logo exist -- one using the hollow version of the logo from the daytime opening, and one using the filled-in version. The hollow version appears in the opening and the end of the credits, and the filled-in version appears in the corner of the screen during the consolation prize plugs.
• The commercial structure of the MDSs changes again with this episode.

• The opening spiel for the MDSs is now, "Tonight, from the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood, a very special primetime edition of America's longest-running game show! Fabulous cars, amazing prizes, and millions of dollars can all be won tonight on The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular!"

• The first and third wipes during the consolation prize plugs has vertical portions of the screen flipping over one by one from left to right, similar to the Plinko sign; the second wipe has the entire screen flipping over, a la the price panels in That's Too Much!. The background seen during the second wipe is the same one used on the daytime show, albeit purple instead of blue. The first and third wipes were changed prior to this taping on the daytime show; they make their first appearance there next Monday when the tapedates catch up.
• The third wipe in the consolation prize plugs goes to a wide shot of the audience as Rich announces, "Remember, there's another chance at a million dollars coming up...but first, here's Drew Carey with our Showcase Showdown!" After this, the screen wipes to the Big Wheel.
• The nighttime Showcase podiums have had their edges redone the same way as the daytime podiums, except for the portion around the word "Showcase." The main part of the podiums now has the new MDS logo on a solid light blue background.

The three are then shown together saying, "We did it; so can you! Come on down!" After this, the show cuts to the standard opening. Logically, this segment should have appeared at the beginning of episode #030SP; it was presumably attached to this program because it was the first show from this set of MDSs to air on CBS.
• On this MDS, the second game is in the same act as the first game.
• This MDS's $1,000,000 game is Switcheroo. The requirement for winning the million dollars is getting everything right on the first turn.

• Monday show features the debut of Gas Money.
• Roger had originally planned to introduce a new pricing game every day this week; however, budget issues with CBS ended up causing all of them besides Gas Money to be cancelled (although Tuesday's game, Do the Math, would ultimately be introduced during Season 42).
• Gas Money was originally played by having the contestant guess the car's price first, and then eliminate the remaining prices one at a time.
• In Monday's opening, "Television's most exciting hour of fantastic prizes!" is replaced with "The first show of our 37th year on CBS!"

• Originally scheduled for September 29-October 3.
• On the first five shows taped for this season, which were recorded before Week 1 and include all of this week's shows except for Tuesday, the Big Wheel takes on a vastly different color scheme: All of the black on the wheel itself is painted purple; the black edges of the prop are painted green; and the side panels, which are also painted purple, are covered with small Pricedown dollar signs in a lighter shade of purple, resembling a miniaturized version of the pattern used in that spot for much of the 1980s. The post-less scoreboard, altered numbers, and silver Pricedown dollar signs seen in Week 1 are present; the carpet, however, is the same one used through the end of Season 36. The remaining changes seen in Week 1 were instituted after Drew, who had not been informed of the purple repaint before it happened, reacted to the new color scheme extremely negatively.
• On the episodes with the purple Big Wheel, the Showcase Showdown's split-screen separator graphic is green.
• On the episodes with the purple Big Wheel, the "money win" graphics for the Showcase Showdown are purple instead of red.
• On all shows this week except for Tuesday, the logo in the first closed-captioning intro simply slides onto the screen, as it did during Season 36.
• On Tuesday's show, which was the last episode taped at the premiere week session, all aspects of the Showcase Showdown are identical to those in Week 1.
• On Monday only, the first and third transitions during the consolation prize plugs use a wipe in an "X" pattern.

• On Tuesday, Grocery Game's prices are redone in the More or Less font.
• On Tuesday, Bonus Game is played for a car.
• On Wednesday, Punch a Bunch's top prize is increased to $25,000; this is accomplished by replacing one of the $10,000 slips with a $25,000 slip.
• On Wednesday, Balance Game is played for a car.
• On Thursday, Squeeze Play is played for a car.
• Some of this week's episodes that were rescheduled to December feature "Win at Home" segments after their second Showcase Showdowns; this contest is described in more detail in Week 4. As the segments were added to the episodes well after their intended airdates, they are presented in the form introduced during Week 8.

Week 3 (1,444 – 445xK): December 5, October 2, September 30, October 1, October 3

• Originally scheduled for October 6-10.
• Monday show is the last of the episodes with the purple Big Wheel.
• On Monday, Plinko is accidentally played with a rigged board when a set of guide wires that had been installed to ensure that all the chips dropped during the taping of a commercial would land in $10,000 is not removed before the show; this results in the contestant winning $30,000 before anyone realized what was happening. This portion of the game was edited out of the show and completely redone with the board set up legitimately; the contestant was awarded the $30,000, but none of it was counted toward her official winnings for purposes of placement in the Showcase Showdown or the Showcase.
• On Tuesday, the last show of the taping session with the purple Big Wheel episodes, the Showcase Showdowns utilize the replica of the Big Wheel from the The Price Is Right LIVE! stage show in Las Vegas while the real Big Wheel is de-purpled and redone with its appearance that debuted in Week 1. The Vegas wheel is best described as a smaller, knock-off-ish duplicate of the real wheel's appearance from the late '80s through the end of Season 36.
• Like the purple wheel episodes, Tuesday's show utilizes the red and yellow Big Wheel carpet seen through the end of Season 36.
• On Tuesday, probably due to the absence of the real Big Wheel, the wheel's beeps are badly out of synch and are clearly being controlled from the sound effects booth.
• On Wednesday, the Big Wheel's appearance and graphics from Week 1 return permanently.
• Mike Richards is not on staff on this week's Monday or Tuesday shows, which were both taped before he was hired.
• Beginning on Thursday, the first number in the car's price in 3 Strikes is revealed at the beginning of the game.
• On Thursday, for the first time since February 20, 1998, 3 Strikes is played with all three strike chips; this was intended to be a permanent change but ended up only happening on one episode.

• On Wednesday, Bullseye is played for a car.
• Thursday show features the final playing of the game known for most of its existence as Barker's Marker$.
• On Thursday, the Showcase Showdown's split-screen separator graphic changes back to gold.
• On Thursday, Drew explains Barker's Marker$/Make Your Mark incorrectly, stating that the contestant will win the $500 regardless of the game's outcome as long as he does not move the third marker; in lieu of having to inform him of his mistake, the staff declares his faulty description to be the "new rules" in the middle of the taping. This incident was directly responsible for the game's retirement following this episode.
• Starting on Thursday, the first part of the Showcase opens with a close-up of the right-hand "The Price Is Right" sign behind the audience followed by a pan of the audience, accompanied by music; the pan is followed by a dissolve to the Turntable.
• On Friday, the above change is also added to the second part of the Showcase, although it is not accompanied by music.
• On Friday, Range Game is played for a car.
• On Monday, October 13, a "Win at Home" contest begins in which a prize is shown for viewers to bid on after Act 3 three days per week; viewers enter the contest via touch-tone phones. The contest is also plugged in an onscreen graphic that appears during the second Showcase Showdown. Due to shows airing out of order, no episodes from this week were actually broadcast the week of October 13, and as such, none of them feature the contest; however, they would have if the reschedulings caused by the purple Big Wheel had not occurred.

Week 5 (1,446 – 447xK): October 20-24

• This week's shows have four Barker's Beauties; each day, three of the regular Beauties are joined by one of five finalists in a national competition who are vying for the chance to appear for a whole week later in the season, on January 12-16.

  • The front of Rich's podium is a green wall with a yellow Goodson-Todman asterisk, similar to the frame of Door #3.
  • The Clam is redone with the square pattern from Door #2 and three silver Pricedown dollar signs; additionally, the inside of the Clam receives its most drastic makeover in the show's history, now sporting light-up Goodson-Todman asterisks and hypocycloid diamonds.
  • The octagonal trip skins are replaced with a trip skin-shaped green screen; this results in the cameras not being able to show Door #3 opening when it conceals a trip. The edges of the octagons are studded in the same manner as the Showcase podiums.
  • The logo no longer appears in the first closed-captioning plug.
  • The logo appears in the upper-right corner during the second closed captioning plug.

• Thursday's Switch? was originally scheduled as Barker's Bargain Bar.

• On Friday, Push Over is played for a car.
• Friday's show features the final playing of Credit Card.
• On Friday, Rich is shown on-camera while calling the eighth contestant.

After the first playing, which was lost, the contestant claimed that he had been confused by Drew's explanation of the rules -- a dubious claim according to a site member who was in the audience and heard the explanation, but one that Drew apparently felt held merit.

• On Friday's taped-out-of-order show, part of the theme plays as the show returns from commercial before the end of the Showcase; this change becomes permanent later in the season.

• On the first broadcast of Tuesday's episode, which was moved to primetime, the opening is altered; the opening title is edited out, and the opening spiel is again altered to reflect the later timeslot, this time to, "The Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and the Marines! Tonight, The Price Is Right salutes our troops!" Additionally, a montage of moments from Seasons 36 and (mostly) 37 accompanied by a voiceover from Rich is shown at the top of the hour before the program transitions to the actual opening.
• Tuesday's rerun broadcast in daytime on July 3, 2009, restores the epsiode's original opening.
• Tuesday show features a Marine Corps band playing throughout the opening, during every commercial outro, while returning from commercial for both segments of the Showcase, and during the credits; "Walking" is not played during the opening, "Dig We Must" does not end the second Showcase Showdown, and the theme is only played briefly after a pricing game or the Showcase is won.

• The modified primetime version of Tuesday's show does not include the closed-captioning plugs.
• On Tuesday, probably due to the primetime timeslot, more of the credits than usual are shown on CBS; these credits do not scroll up the screen the way they normally do.
• Oddly, Tuesday's show's credit roll is not accurate, although it does contain the correct staff for episodes taped near the program's airdate; it is possible that it was tacked onto the episode at the last minute for reasons related to the above note.
• Presumably due to its primetime broadcast, Tuesday's show appears to not be counted as a daytime show in Price's records; this adds one to the discrepancy between the real and official episode counts, increasing it from 145 to 146.
• On Thursday, 4-digit prizes return to Clock Game permanently.
• On Friday, the second showcase involves a pie fight; a Beauty is pied after each prize description, Rich is pied at the end of the showcase, Drew is pied during his signoff, and the Showcase winner is pied during the credits.

• Monday's show was delayed to the end of summer because the second showcase contains a plug for the Primetime Emmys, which are airing on September* 20.
• On Monday, the second showcase includes tickets to the Primetime Emmys; Drew instructs the contestants not to include these while bidding, as they have no price.
• Summer reruns begin on June 29 in lieu of the week's actual Monday show.
• After Monday's show, Syd Vinnedge is let go from the program; Mike Richards succeeds him as executive producer.
• During the summer, in the week over July 6-10, Win at Home begins to offer a larger variety of prizes again.

Season 38 ('09-'10)

Pricing game calendar for Season 38, hosted by Scorpz.

Week 1 (1,482 – 483xK): September 21-25

• During this week, in addition to the new episodes aired at the regular time, CBS broadcasts reruns from Season 37 at 3 P.M. Eastern, the timeslot occupied until last Friday by the now-cancelled Guiding Light.
• Win at Home is not conducted during the afternoon broadcasts.
• On Monday, after nearly a year's absence, the light border (albeit a new one) is restored to the opening; the new border incorporates the dark blue squares from Season 37's Turntable walls.
• On Monday, the opening spiel is shortened to, "Here it comes! From the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood, it's The Price Is Right!"
• On Monday, the opening titles are done away with.
• Beginning on Monday, at the end of the opening, the logo's dollar sign draws itself at the center of the screen, after which smaller dollar signs erupt from behind it. The main dollar sign then settles into its proper spot for the logo, after which the words slide out from behind it and the orange and red backgrounds fly in from the sides of the screen.
• On Monday, Drew's introduction is shortened to, "And now, here's your host: Drew Carey!"
• On Monday, the set is decorated for the season premiere.
• On Monday, the Turntable is completely restructured: the shape of its floor is altered; the carpet becomes all blue, with the stairs becoming a metallic silver; the spinning panel's wall becomes light blue with a dark blue edge, reminiscent of the pattern seen on it from 1975-1982; and the other walls are removed and replaced with a Big Door frame with purple asterisk boxes (but no asterisk on the right side, as the box goes behind the stairs) and a square-patterned backdrop that is capable of changing colors. The dollar sign on the spinning wall panel remains present, and the portion of the blue wall behind it is now lit up. Fans have generally come to refer to the new walls as the "Door #5" structure, although this term is not used by the show.
• On Monday, the lights around the edge of the stage first seen on Season 36's MDSs are added permanently.
• On Monday, the Pricedown dollar signs displayed over the Big Doors are replaced with cascading circle designs; unlike the previous patterns, which where shone onto the doors via lights, the circles are painted onto the walls. The patterns are also painted on the back of the Turntable.
• On Monday, the Contestants' Row displays are replaced with LCD monitors; they are programmed to behave exactly as the old displays did, although the prop itself is built slightly differently. The new displays are capable of displaying 5-digit bids; these are the only circumstances under which the numbers look different than they did on the previous displays.
• On Monday, new sets of designs are introduced for the Dollar Sign and the Reveal.
• Beginning on Monday, Plinko is revealed with a wide shot of the Race Game Curtain raising on the jib camera.
• Beginning on Monday, Goodson-Todman asterisks and hypocycloid diamonds are hung inside Plinko's small prize podiums.
• Beginning on Monday, the closed-captioning plugs show various shots of the studio taken from the jib camera.
• Beginning on Monday, the logo appears on the screen during the closed-captioning plugs the same way it did late in the consolation prize plugs late in Season 37; conversely, the logo is now already present at the start of the consolation prize plugs.
• Beginning on Monday, videos shown in the corner of the screen during prize descriptions appear in a price tag-shaped window.
• Beginning on Monday, there is a Pricedown dollar sign over the lower-left corner of Rich's calldown window.
• On Monday, a third portable plasma screen is added to the show's list of props.

• As of Monday, three-trip Most Expensive is presented entirely behind Door #2.
• In Monday's Most Expensive, the "and just think!" line at the end of the trip descriptions is omitted.
• Beginning on Monday, Drew plugs PriceIsRight.com after the sixth game.
• Monday marks the first appearance of the fourth-generation Showcase podiums, which, for the first time in the history of the daytime show, are identical to one another. Each podium is green with a Pricedown dollar sign on the front, and the descriptive placards and bid displays are replaced with LCD monitors; the bid displays use a blue background, are bordered by the square pattern from the light border, and display the TPIR logo until a bid is placed in them. The bids and differences are not shown in an eggcrate font on the monitors; however, they do now include a dollar sign.
• Initially, the numbers on the Showcase podiums are a shade of light blue that is very hard to see against the blue background.
• Initially, the numbers on the Showcase podiums to not appear to be justified with regard to any particular position.
• As of Monday, during the first part of the Showcase, the podiums display "SHOWCASE" instead of "SHOWcase".
• On Monday, Craig Ferguson appears to help present the second showcase.
• For no apparent reason, the online versions of Monday and Tuesday's shows do not include the real credits, despite the episodes themselves running all the way to the end.
• Beginning on Wednesday, a fake wall panel mimicking Season 37's Turntable walls is placed behind pricing games that are played on the Turntable; a red-orange border runs around the sides and top of the panel. Near each corner of the wall is a yellow Goodson-Todman asterisk, and a yellow asterisk appears at the center.
• In Wednesday's One Away, despite Drew's urgings to ask the "mighty sound effects lady" for numbers, contestant Sheena insists on doing the "Ladies, do I have at least one number right?" routine.
• Beginning on Wednesday, the numbers in the Showcase podiums are white and centered.
• For no apparent reason, Wednesday's real credit roll has not been updated to reflect Mike Richards's promotion and Syd Vinnedge's dismissal.
• On Friday, Range Game is played for a car.

Week 2 (1,483 – 484xK): September 28-October 2

• This week only, a second new episode from next week is broadcast each day at 3 P.M. Eastern; details are listed with Week 3.
• Again, Win at Home is not conducted during the afternoon broadcasts.
• In Monday's opening, Drew comes through Door #2 with Connor, who proceeds to sing Old MacDonald at his father's urging.
• Beginning on Monday, the cubes in Let 'em Roll start out stacked on the table instead of piled in the bucket; they are arranged in such a way that two cars and one of each money amount are showing, so Drew no longer has to pick one of them up to explain what is on them.
• On Tuesday, the design of the Turntable wall changes again; indentations are worked into the purple strip to cause it to display the square pattern, and the game side is completely redone to show a larger version of the Season 37 pattern, with green diamonds in the corners of the squares. The backdrop with the asterisks is no longer used.
• On Tuesday, the red backing with its cityscape design is removed from the Turntable's "Master Key" sign, presumably because it stuck up far enough to run into the "Door #5" structure.
• On Tuesday, a flashier graphic is introduced for the PriceIsRight.com plug.
• On Wednesday, for no apparent reason, 1/2 Off's second intro cue is never played.
• On Wednesday, the dimming of the lights at the beginning of the "Every Room in the House" showcase is reinstated.
• On Wednesday, several NHL mascots appear to help present a hockey-themed showcase.
• Beginning on Friday, the "Now....or Then" sign is hung lower on the Turntable wall, presumably because it stuck up far enough to run into the "Door #5" structure.

• As of Thursday, the telephone ticket plug, now done by Drew, is once again interspersed with the e-ticket plug.
• On Thursday, Drew accidentally does the ticket plug a second time at the end of the fourth game, this time reciting an e-ticket plug; additionally, as he does this, one of the PriceIsRight.com graphics appears on the screen for no apparent reason.
• On Friday, 3 Strikes returns to the pricing game rotation.
• Due to shows early in Season 37 being shuffled around, Friday marks the first broadcast of 3 Strikes in over a year; however, when the proper episode order is taken into account, the game was "only" gone for 359 days.

• On Friday, Rich introduces Drew as "the yodely guy!"
• As Drew comes through Door #2 in Friday's opening, "On the Franches Mountains" begins playing.
• On Friday, all of the games involved in the cast's costumes are played; this leads to the unusual circumstance of the show having two small prize games and a grocery item game.

• Beginning on Tuesday, the displays on the Showcase podiums change from blue to red when an overbid occurs.
• Thursday's show is an April Fool's Day episode, and several things on it are intentionally done in unusual or flat-out wrong ways:
  • A running gag throughout the episode involves Mimi Bobeck, Kathy Kinney's character from The Drew Carey Show, taking over as Price's new executive producer; her "office" is set up on the Turntable, which is not used for any games or prizes during the program. Mimi is also listed as the Executive Producer in the credits, with Mike Richards's title reading "Assistant to the Executive Producer."
  • Everyone in the audience is referred to as "Pat," with Mimi explaining that she thought it would be easier for Drew that way, since he has trouble remembering names. Additionally, everyone in the credits except for Mimi has their first name replaced with "Pat."
  • The light border has all the colors of the rainbow cascading around it.
  • All of the graphical TPIR logos besides the ones on the Showcase podiums and the one at the end of the credits have their backgrounds colored blue-green and pink instead of orange and red; this unusual color scheme is also used for the rest of the text in the PriceIsRight.com, plug, whose logo stomps on the website address.
  • The opening spiel is, "Here it comes! From the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood, now under new management! It's The Price Is Right!"
  • All nine contestants are called to Contestants' Row with the phrase, "Pat, move it!" a line frequently used by Mimi on The Drew Carey Show; however, three days before the episode aired, all instances of "move it" were dubbed over with "come on down."
  • Rich is "replaced" with a new announcer (actually Rich disguised as a monkey, complete with a large banana on his podium), although Drew continues to refer to him as "Rich" throughout the episode. Additionally, the "real" Rich can be seen wandering around the prize displays during the fourth and sixth games; this is believed to have been part of a larger subplot most of which either was edited out of the show due to time constraints or was never taped in the first place despite it occurring during the taping due to the director never being told it was going to happen.
  • The Barker's Beauties are replaced with four men in possession of varying degrees of weirdness. The Beauties themselves, Rachel, Gwendolyn, and Manuela, are shown doing various other things during the course of the show: Rachel serves as stagehand "Big Dave," pushing the Big Wheel into place, operating Range Game, and pushing out Lucky $even's car; Gwendolyn serves as a page near Contestants' Row; and Manuela acts as a member of the audience, sitting next to Contestants' Row and continually shouting for people to bid $1. Drew points Manuela out before the fourth Item up for Bids without actually identifying her, thanking her for waiting in the line since 10:30 the previous night.
  • All of the actual retail price cards for Contestants' Row and the Showcase have the wrong designs on them.
  • All of Plinko's small prizes are "As Seen on TV" items.
  • The "model" for the second Item up for Bids, a treadmill, falls off of it.
  • The "model" for One Away, a confused, old man, generally forgets to help Drew; the two times he does remember, he either puts up the wrong number or turns the wrong trilon.
  • Mimi serves as the "mighty sound effects lady" for One Away, supposedly triggering the horn with a steering wheel on her desk.
  • All of Pick-a-Pair's groceries are related to holidays that have nothing to do with April Fool's Day.
  • The ticket plug is edited out due to the show running overtime, something that has not been done since Drew began reading the plug himself.
  • The large dollar sign on Rich's calldown window is replaced with a banana.
  • The sixth Item up for Bids, a grandfather clock, is displayed in Contestants' Row.
  • For probably the only time in the show's run, the consolation prize plugs are edited out due to time constraints.
  • The second showcase is an April Fool's showcase and initially appears to be exactly the same as the first showcase. After it ends, Drew begins to pound on the Turntable wall, yelling to Mimi that they can't do that. Mimi then comes around, trapping Drew backstage, and declares that she isn't done yet; a Mini Cooper that was not part of the first showcase is then revealed.
  • At the end of the show, Drew thanks Kathy Kinney for appearing and plugs her new book, of which everyone in the audience appears to receive a copy.
• On Friday, the cheerleaders of the Kansas Jayhawks, Butler Bulldogs, Michigan State Spartans, and Duke Blue Devils basketball teams appear via video to help present a Final Four-themed showcase.

• On Wednesday, during the last commercial, everyone in the audience receives a copy of Nigel Barker's book, Nigel Barker's Beauty Equation; this also serves as the episode's PriceIsRight.com plug, as Drew instructs people to visit the website to find out how to win a copy for themselves.
• Thursday show is a Veterans' Day-themed episode.
• On Thursday, everyone in the audience is a member of the military.
• On Thursday, The Star-Spangled Banner, played by a marine band in the audience, is heard instead of "Walking" and the theme during the opening, as well as during the credits; it and various other patriotic songs are also used during all commercial outros, and the theme is not played at these times even if pricing games are won. The theme is heard in its usual places in the first closed-captioning plug, the consolation prize plugs (in remixed form, as always), while returning from the final commercial, and, oddly, while returning from the second-last commercial.

The cake is used to play the game instead of the actual board. The bakers appear again, along with the cake, later in the show to help present the second, cake-themed showcase.

• Only Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday's shows this week are produced by Fingers, who retired after the final taping of 2010; Wednesday and Friday's shows are the first episodes with Vanessa Voss in the newly-created position of "prize producer." The "prize producer" job is also added to the short credits, following the "directed by" credit.
• Thursday's show, the last episode to be taped with Fingers producing, is dedicated to her. As such, a number of noteworthy things occur on this show:
  • All three pricing games in the second half -- Pick-a-Pair, Line em Up, and Secret "X" -- were created by Fingers. Drew states that she also contributed to creating the third game, Master Key, but credit for that game is actually given to Frank Wayne.
  • This combination of games results in the unusual scheduling of two small prize games and a grocery item game -- an anomaly which, ironically, was unnecessary, since, as mentioned above, Fingers did not create Master Key.
  • Hearkening back to the Janice Pennington, This Is Your Strife showcase on May 14, 1976, the staff rehearsed a fake second showcase so that they could surprise Fingers with a showcase decidated to her and featuring clips of her from over the years on its second prize, a television set.
  • During the second showcase, for probably the first time since the half-hour era, the show gets an episode count correct by offering $1 for each of the 6,618 daytime shows that Fingers was on the staff during; this count excludes Wednesday's show, which was not taped until 2011, but includes next Tuesday's, which was taped immediately before this one.

• On Monday, the opening ends with, "You are the first four couples on a special Valentine's Day episode of The Price Is Right!"
• On Monday, the various graphical TPIR logos except for the one in the credits, as well as the logo on Door #4, have the words "Valentine's Day" at their base, with small hearts cascading around the extra text; additionally, the logos have an altered color scheme, with each background displaying different shades of red and more cascading hearts and with the logo itself appearing in different shades of pink. In addition to the usual places, this logo appears during every commercial outro.
• On Monday, the light strips around the Big Doors and the Turntable are pink for most of the show.

This is presumably because the asterisks had only been placed on two of the three walls, with the third side no longer intended to be used -- something that the person setting the game up for this episode evidently failed to notice.
• On Thursday, after the last commercial, everyone in the audience receives a CD of music nominated for 2011 Grammy Awards; this also leads into the day's PriceIsRight.com plug, as Drew instructs viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said CDs.

Week 24 (1,545 – 546xK): February 28-March 4

• This week's PriceIsRight.com plugs encourage viewers to register for a new Home Viewer Showcase which will be presented next week.
• Beginning on Friday, Tiffany Coyne from Let's Make a Deal fills in as a Barker's Beauty for four episodes.
• On Friday, Push Over is played for a car.
• Beginning on Friday, George's calldown window occasionally moves to the right side of the screen instead of the left as he calls the sixth or ninth contestant.

Week 25 (1,546 – 547xK): March 7-11

• On this week's shows, for the first time since Season 18, a Home Viewer Showcase is presented. A new format for the contest is introduced this go-'round; instead of presenting the entire showcase on each of the week's episodes, the 10 prizes are introduced gradually over the course of the week, and each one is a prize being offered in one of the episodes. Two prizes are introduced each day; one of them is an Item up for Bids or is in a pricing game and has its price revealed on the air, while the other is in the Showcase and does not. As before, contestants must bid on all of the prizes together, with the winner being the viewer nearest to the actual retail price without going over (or, if several bidders are tied at the nearest price, one viewer randomly selected from that group).
• Each day this week, George explains the Home Viewer Showcase before the commercial in the Showcase; this supplants the PriceIsRight.com plug for the duration of the contest.
• On Tuesday, former professional wrestler Brian Kendrick is called as a contestant.
• On Friday, Pick-a-Number is played for a car.
• On Friday, the prize display during the consolation prize plugs is shrunken slightly, allowing the square background to be seen at the top and bottom of the screen.
• After this week, Win at Home goes on a six-week hiatus.

Week 26 (1,547 – 548xK): March 14, 16, 15

• Originally scheduled for March 14-16.
• Only three shows, on Monday-Wednesday.
• On Tuesday, the winner of the Home Viewer Showcase is revealed; George and Gwendolyn are shown surprising her at her house after the first Showcase Showdown. Due to episodes being aired out of order, this is plugged on both Monday and Wednesday.
• On Tuesday, due to the Home Viewer Showcase reveal, the ticket plug occurs at the end of the second Showcase Showdown.
• Wednesday's show is a vaguely spring break-themed episode; this consists mostly of everyone in the audience being a college student and Pay the Rent being decorated as a fraternity house.
• On Wednesday, to fit the spring break theme, Pay the Rent is temporarily renamed "Pay the Tuition," with a seeminly hastily drawn "Tuition" sign hung in front of "Rent" in the game's logo.
• On Wednesday, shopping bags are added to Pay the Rent for the Beauties to carry the groceries in.
• On Wednesday, Kimberly Matula and Scott Clifton, the portrayers of Hope Logan and Liam Cooper on The Bold and the Beautiful, appear after the contestants have bid on the second Item up for Bids to offer the winner a walk-on role on the next taping of their soap opera.
• On Wednesday, in an unusual move, two cash games are played.
• On Wednesday, Wilbur the Wildcat and the Stanford Tree, the mascots of the University of Arizona and Stanford University, make cameo appearances during a college sports-themed showcase.
• On Wednesday, during the final commercial, everyone in the audience is given beach bags from The Bold and the Beautiful from the episode's four guest stars; this also serves as the day's PriceIsRight.com plug, as Drew instructs viewers to go to the website for a chance to win one of said beach bags.

Week 27 (1,548 – 549xK): March 21-25

• On Monday, the "Prize of the Week" contest is introduced. Similar to the Home Viewer Showcase from two weeks ago, each week, a prize in Monday's Showcase is selected for viewers to bid on at PriceIsRight.com; the prize is revealed by George during the final commercial outro on the day it is offered. The contest runs for approximately 60 hours, ending at 11:59 P.M. in the Eastern Time Zone two days after the day of the broadcast on which it began, with the winner being revealed several days later. Plugs for this contest generally double as the day's PriceIsRight.com plug.
• On Monday, during the final commercial, everyone in the audience is given a Jazz Fest Live compilation album; this also serves as a second PriceIsRight.com plug, as Drew instructs viewers to go to the website for a chance to win one of said CDs.
• Drew plugs the Prize of the Week at the end of Tuesday's second Showcase Showdown and at the beginning of Act 6 on Wednesday.
• On Thursday, Bonus Game is played for a car.
• On Thursday, during the last commercial, everyone in the audience receives cookies from Wonderland Bakery, which are served by workers from the bakery; this also leads into the day's PriceIsRight.com plug, as Drew instructs viewers to visit the website for a chance to win some of said cookies.
• On Friday, the winner of the Prize of the Week is revealed after the sixth game. Oddly, this segment does not include a PriceIsRight.com plug, nor does any other portion of the episode.

Week 28 (1,549 – 550xK): March 28-April 1

• Monday's Money Game is believed to have been a substitution for another game.
• On Monday, the second (and last) Prize of the Week is presented; Drew also plugs it on Tuesday after the final commercial and on Wednesday at the end of the second Showcase Showdown.
• On Tuesday, during the last commercial, everyone in the audience receives hats from In-n-Out Burger, who helped the show set up a hamburger-themed showcase and who gave hamburgers to everyone in the line before the show; this leads into the day's PriceIsRight.com plug, with Drew instructing viewers to visit the website to watch a video of the Barker's Beauties serving said hamburgers outside of Television City. The Prize of the Week plug occurs immediately after this.
• On Wednesday, a new set of graphics is introduced for the "Around the World" showcase.
• On Thursday, Hole in One is played for a restored 1955 Ford F-100.
• On Thursday, ACM nominee Lee Brice appears to help present the country music-themed fifth Item up for Bids and second showcase.
• On Thursday, after the final commercial, Lee Brice returns to announce that the winner of the showcase will receive as a bonus of a VIP trip to Las Vegas, including two VIP passes to the ACM Awards rehearsals, two tickets to the actual awards show, and two tickets to the "Girls' Night Out Superstar Women of Country" TV special.
• On Friday, Squeeze Play is played for a car.
• Friday's show is an April Fool's Day episode and is repeatedly billed during the program as the day that something will happen on The Price Is Right for the 10,000th time. Additionally, in keeping with the spirit of the day, several things on the show are intentionally done in unusual or flat-out wrong ways. A list of both sets of events is as follows:
  • A large "10,000th" is added to the bottom of the logo in the opening, on Door #4, in commercial outros, and on televisions and computers offered during the show; the logo appears during every commercial outro on this episode.
  • George's opeing spiel is, "Here it comes! From the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood, it's a very special Price Is Right!"
  • The contestants called during the opeing are referred to as "The first four contestants on The Price Is Right's 10,000th!"
  • The set is decorated for the "10,000th event."
  • As Drew is talking before the first Item up for Bids, a boom mic comes into the shot and nearly hits him in the head.
  • The first Item up for Bids is initially a television and an XBox package, but Rachel and Manuela "accidentally" knock the television on the floor, breaking it; George and Drew declare that the contestants will only bid on the XBox package, and no prize copy is ever read for the TV. After the contestants have bid, one of the staffers has to bring Drew a new actual retail price, because the one he has includes the television.
  • A very unusual game lineup is used that consists entirely of games played for only one prize, including five pure one-prize games and a car game that offers only the car and a negligible amount of cash; one of the one-prize games, as mentioned above, is used for the other car, and no fee games are played at all. The lineup was clearly created this way intentionally, as two of the one-prize games were already played earlier in the week.
  • Squeeze Play does not work, and Drew has to push the numbers together himself.
  • The Turntable begins creaking and smoking as it reveals the second Item up for Bids, causing a stagehand to run out and try to cool it down; it remains "stuck" at an odd angle until the next commercial.
  • Drew does not have the price of the second Item up for Bids and has to get it from Adam.
  • As George models the prize for the second game, a steam shower, from inside of it, the shower turns itself on, first enveloping him in steam and then drenching him.
  • The jib camera moves in front of a still soaked George as the calls the sixth contestant.
  • Door #3 will not open to reveal the third Item up for Bids; Manuela eventually forces it open herself from the inside.
  • When Drew reveals the price in Double Prices, the front of the game falls off, a bunch of trash falls out of it, and its "electronics" start smoking. (For the record, since someone is sure to wonder, Double Prices does not really have any electronics.)
  • When the camera zooms in on the still somewhat soggy George as he does the first closed-captioning plug, it flies right past him and ends up zooming in on the wall.
  • George is shown combing his hair back into place after the first spinner in the first Showcase Showdown finishes his second spin.
  • In the ticket plug, Drew gives a ridiculously detailed set of instructions for how to turn on your computer, launch an internet browser, and navigate to CBS.com. As he does this, George walks behind him, still adjusting his hair; the crew shuts off the lights on the Big Wheel and begins to remove it from the stage; and "Dig We Must" plays all the way through, with the theme starting up moments before the show goes to commercial with Drew still talking. After the first commercial airs, the show comes back in, with Drew still giving his explanation; as he finishes, the Big Wheel is taken offstage through Door #2, with the fourth game, Balance Game, visible backstage. The second part of this plug does not appear in the online version of the episode.
  • During the fourth Item up for Bids, random five-digit numbers start lighting up on Contestants' Row; Drew solves the problem by having Scott write down the bids on card stock and place them on the appropriate displays.
  • The bag representing the actual retail price in Balance Game is ridiculously oversized; during the commercial outro, it is revealed to contain George, who is shown climbing out of it.
  • During Balance Game, one of the sleeves on Drew's jacket rips.
  • As George models the fifth Item up for Bids, the Lob-Ster machine, Rachel pelts his with tennis balls, one of which hits him in an especially sensitive area; since the prize copy was interrupted several times by the joke, Drew calls a woman out of the audience to come onstage and read it again, complete with the music.
  • George can be seen holding an ice bag on his shoulder as he describes the prize for the fifth game and again after the game.
  • As it shows the prize for the fifth game, a trip, Door #4 begins to fall off the wall and eventually starts displaying snow; it begins working again after the next commercial but remains somewhat snowy for the rest of the episode.
  • Another boom mic is seen hovering over George as he calls the ninth contestant.
  • The Basket is lowered right into the floor during the sixth Item up for Bids, leaving Gwendolyn and Manuela to quickly organize the prizes on its remains.
  • Rachel crashes the car for the sixth game through Door #3, knocking down several of the door's panels and stopping just inches in front of Lucky $even; the game is played with the damaged door still halfway closed and partially laying on the car. After the episode was broadcast, PriceIsRight.com put up a clip of Rachel's first, real Lucky $even wreck from episode #2895K in Season 32.
  • When the show comes back on for the second Showcase Showdown, Door #3 is covered with a plastic tarp.
  • Presumably due to time constraints, no consolation prize plugs are done.
  • At the end of the second Showcase Showdown, a light falls out of the ceiling, and all of the studio lights go out (although all lights on props continue to work); the segment ends with a shot of the "10,000th" logo in front of a test pattern.
  • The lights are still out at the beginning of the Showcase, and Drew and the Beauties hold flashlights to spotlight the contestants and the prizes; the first showcase is themed around the darkness, and the power finally comes back on during the description of the last prize.
  • The video screens refuse to display anything but snow during the power outage.
  • The last prize in the first showcase is displayed behind Door #3; since Door #3 is missing, Manuela and Rachel end up tearing down the plastic tarp to reveal it.
  • In the second showcase, Gwendolyn accidentally drops a marshmallow that had been roasting on the first prize, an outdoor dining set with a fire pit, and sets the prize backdrops on fire; several stagehands come out with fire extinguishers and spend the rest of the showcase attempting to put out the flames.
  • Throughout the second part of the Showcase, everyone in the audience is holding "10,000" signs.
  • After the Showcase winner is revaled, Drew laments the fact that the "10,000th thing" never ended up happening; in truth, of course, no such thing ever really existed. He then says that maybe it will happen tomorrow (itself a ludicrous notion, as "tomorrow" is a Saturday) and wishes everyone a happy April Fool's Day.
  • After Drew's sign-off, several lights from above the Turntable come crashing down, darkening that part of the studio a second time.
• On Friday, the original Double Prices logo returns; this change does not yet take effect permanently thanks to shows taping out of order.

Week 29 (1,550 – 551xK): April 4-8

• Possibly due to the latter episode being taped out of order, Monday and Wednesday's shows both have a Price Look of the Week.
• On Monday, George reveals the winner of last week's Prize of the Week at the end of the first Showcase Showdown; this leads to the unusual circumstance of the ticket plug taking place at the end of the second Showcase Showdown.
• On Tuesday, the consolation prize plugs are shown without the background visible at the top and bottom of the screen.
• On Tuesday, Constantine Maroulis, the star of the musical Rock of Ages, appears to help present a showcase centered around his show.
• On Tuesday, during the last commercial, everyone in the audience receives an autographed copy of the original Broadway cast recording of Rock of Ages; this also leads into the day's PriceIsRight.com plug, as Drew instructs viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said CDs.
• On Tuesday, music from Rock of Ages plays during the credits.
• On Wednesday's show, which was taped out of order, a new, larger announcer podium is introduced; however, since it is not used on any surrounding episodes, care was taken not to show it on-camera at any point during the program. The podium is designed with the same lighted squares as the Turntable wall and has a video screen on the front that usually displays a silver Pricedown dollar sign rotating in from of a blue background filled with cascading sunbursts like those seen above the Big Doors.
• Wednesday's Rat Race is believed to have been a substitution for another game.
• On Wednesday, Julie Chen and Holly Robinson-Peete appear during the Showcase to plug The Talk, on which Drew appears as a guest later in the day, as well as to help present the showcases, one of which each of them helped to create.
• On Thursday, contestant Jerren from the March 16 episode, who won the previously mentioned walk-on role on The Bold and the Beautiful that was included with that program's second Item up for Bids, appears briefly at the end of the second Showcase Showdown; clips are shown of him backstage at the soap opera, and Drew encourages viewers to visit PriceIsRight.com to watch a longer video of his day of shooting.

• On Monday, the new announcer podium first used on the April 6 episode is put into use permanently and is seen on the air for the first time.

• On Friday, during the last commercial, everyone in the audience receives a coupon for a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, as well as an eco-friendly water bottle from The Nature Conservancy; this also serves as the day's PriceIsRight.com plug, as Drew instructs viewers to visit the website for a chance to win their own coupon and water bottle.

Week 32 (1,553 – 554xK): April 25-29

• On Monday, Flip Flop's button is moved to the side of the board, on the diagonal porton near the word "Flip."
• On Monday, the first showcase includes a tour of Dylan's Candy Bar in New York and 50 pounds of candy from the store; the contestants are instructed not to include these in their bids, as the former cannot reasonably be assigned a value and the latter cannot be assigned a single value.
• On Monday, during the last commercial, everyone in the audience receives a lollipop from Dylan's Candy Bar; this also serves as the episode's PriceIsRight.com plug, as Drew instructs vieweres to visit the website for a chance to win one of said lollipops.
• Tuesday's show was taped out of order before last week's episodes, while Rich's podium was still in use; all shots of George's podium were edited into the program during post-production. One shot of Rich's podium remains in the episode; it can be seen near the edge of the screen as the eighth contestant is coming on down.

• On Tuesday, in an unusual move, the price of one of the prizes in the second showcase is intentionally revealed in the script.

• On Wednesday, the Beatles cover band Rain appears as a house band for the entire show, staged behind Door #3. They play various Beatles songs throughout the first Item up for Bids and the prize description for the first game, as well as during the closed-captioning plugs and every transition to and from commercial except for the consolation prize plugs; "Walking" is not heard at the end of the first Item up for Bids, and the theme is only played during the opening and the credits.

• On Wednesday, Side by Side is played at Door #3.
• On Wednesday, the TPIR logo appears in the corner of the screen during every commercial outro.

Season 40 ('11-'12)

Pricing game calendar for Season 40, hosted by Scorpz.

Week 1 (1,562 – 563xK): September 19-23

• The set is decorated for the season premiere all week; the "40 Years" signs near the Big Doors and George's podium remain for the entire season.
• On Monday, the light border becomes silver; additionally, its outer edges no longer obscure the audience, similar to how the original border appeared before the luma key was adjusted in the early '80s.
• On Monday, the opening shot changes to the "40 Years" sign near George's podium.
• On Monday, a new, larger Door #4 is introduced.
• On Monday, the audience undergoes, for lack of a better term, a set change: The chairs change back to blue; a strip of LED lights surrounds the audience, running around the top of Door #4; new curtains are introduced that are somewhat less pastel, although the basic colors remain the same; the stairs in the back become black; blue borders are placed on the floor along the aisles; a gray backing is placed along the base of the rear wall, replacing at least one row of seats; the raised stage is redone with a pattern resembling the front side of the spinning panel of the Turntable wall; and the PA booth is extended to the rear right-hand corner, with a metallic Goodson-Todman asterisk reclaiming the spot it had once held before being covered with a curtain during Season 33.
• On Monday, the audience signs are moved from the rear wall to the new light strip, from which they hang in front of the back corners; additionally, the dollar signs in the audience signs now rotate. The latter change is not permanent at this point, as this week's episodes were taped out of order.

• On Monday, a "40 Years" logo is introduced with that text on a banner under the main logo; the "40" spins into place on an animated Big Wheel. This graphic is used in the opening, on Door #4, in the closed-captioning and consolation prize plugs, and during the mid-show bumper; the logo also replaces the Season 36 logo on the lights in the ceiling.

• Originally scheduled for October 3-7.
• On Thursday, during the break after the sixth game, Drew is given a signal that the show is on the air when, in fact, it is not; as a result, the first spin of the second Showcase Showdown occurs during the commercials with no cameras rolling.

• Originally scheduled for October 10-14.
• On Monday, October 10, the presentation for Play at Home is redone; it now starts and ends with announcements by George. This change does corresponds more reasonably to a calendar date than to a particular episode.
• On all shows this week, a celebrity helps the contestants play their pricing games -- Heidi Klum on Monday, Snoop Dogg on Tuesday, Neil Patrick Harris on Wednesday, Chris Daughtry on Thursday, and Jenny McCarthy on Friday. The celebrities also help to present the showcases each day.

• On this week's shows, which were all taped drastically out of order, the set changes seen in Week 1 are present.
• On this week's shows, the PriceIsRight.com plugs take place at the beginning of the second part of the Showcase and involve Drew instructing viewers to visit the site for a chance to win a TPIR name tag signed by that day's celebrity; these name tags also serve as the door prizes this week. This does not occur on Monday, nor does any sort of PriceIsRight.com plug; however, it could have merely been edited out, as the episode visibly underwent an unusually large amount of editing.
• On Monday and Friday, presumably due to time constraints, the consolation prize plugs are not done; similarly, on Wednesday and Friday, the first part of the Showcase begins as it did for the first 36 seasons.
• On Tuesday, Lucky $even is played for a Chevy Camaro.

• On Friday, the blue portions of the Punch a Bunch logo are significantly darker than usual; due to the episode being taped drastically out of order, this change does not become permanent for several more weeks.
• On all of this week's shows except for Monday's, the Showcase includes a prize that is not intended to be included in the contestant's bid, as it cannot reasonably be assigned a price; Tuesday offers VIP onstage tickets and backstage passes to Snoop Dogg's concert at the Voodoo Music Festival; Wednesday a VIP backstage tour of and a walk-on role on How I Met Your Mother; Thursday offers tickets for a Daughtry USO concert at NavSta Rota; and Friday offers VIP tickets to attend a Blackhawks-Kings hockey game with Jenny McCarthy.

Everyone in the studio is dressed in disco costumes provided by Party City (which also provides the third Item up for Bids), many of the prizes relate to either disco or the 1970s, and a number of set elements are temporarily altered to fit the theme; most notably, the original orange shag carpeting returns to the Turntable, and the Turntable walls flash between purple and red for much of the episode.
• On Monday, much of the music is altered to fit the disco theme. A disco remix of "Walking" plays during the opening, a disco cue supplants "Walking" for the remainder of the show, and the theme is replaced with a disco remix of the theme that is best described as a cross between the Barker and Davidson versions.

• Wednesday's show begins with a rebroadcast, shown inside a graphic of an old-style television, of the opening from the first episode; after Johnny announces the title, "The New Price Is Right," the shot changes to Wednesday's actual opening, which expands outward and pushes the TV graphic off the screen.

Again, these changes do not become permanent until next season.
• On Wednesday, the set is decorated for the 40th anniversary celebration.

Season 41 ('12-'13)

Pricing game calendar for Season 41, hosted by Scorpz.

Note: Planning for Season 41 appears to have begun with the logical but ultimately incorrect assumption that the TV season would start on September 17, as evidenced by the nonsensical placement of the Halloween show on November 7 when working from a season premiere date of September 24. With this in mind, everything through Week 8, the last week with any episodes taped at the same session as the shows surrounding the Halloween program, have been given an "originally scheduled" date that reflects a start date of September 17. By Week 9, the week of Thanksgiving, the staff had clearly become aware of the mistake and adjusted the schedule accordingly.

Week 1 (1,602 – 603xK): September 24-28

• Originally scheduled for September 17-21.

• On Monday, all instances of the "40 Years" logo revert to the regular logo.
• On Monday, a new animation is introduced for the opening logo. In it, the rat from the Rat Race logo, a Let 'em Roll cube, a Plinko chip, the mountain climber, and the Big Wheel all fly into the center of the screen and are enclosed within the TPIR logo as it flies in; the logo itself is also given a more metallic appearance to better match the one on Door #2. This animation is also used for the closed-captioning plugs and the mid-show bumper.
• Beginning on Monday, TPIR dollar signs akin to the "40 Years" signs are attached to the walls between the Big Doors; accompanying this, the dollar sign seen at the beginning of the opening has its "40 Years" text removed.

• On Thursday, during the last commercial, everyone in the audience is given a copy of The Young and Restless Life of William J. Bell, a biography of the creator of The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful; Drew also encourages viewers to visit PriceIsRight.com for a chance to win an autographed copy of the book.

The doors gradually revert to the way they looked on the season premiere over the coming weeks.
• On Monday, in a segment taped separately from the rest of the episode, Drew announces the winner of the male Barker's Beauty search, Rob, at the top of Act 6; his comment about viewers voting "over the past week" refers to the fact that the show was broadcast on a Friday.

• On Tuesday, Ryan Polito takes over directing permanently.

• Monday is the last episode with the Christmas themes mentioned in last week's notes.
• Tuesday's show was originally planned as a Christmas show; that theme was scrapped, and the episode was rescheduled and used to promote the Grammy Awards during the Showcase. It is not known why this show was used for that purpose instead of one that fell closer to the airdate of the Grammys in the normal schedule.
• On Tuesday, a number of small changes are made to the Switcheroo board: The "Switcheroo" logo is redone in a slightly different, thinner font; blue lights are installed in the holes in the board; white lights are installed behind the three leftmost white stripes; the dollar sign panel is removed, and a dollar sign is affixed to the board in its place; and shadows are added to the numbers on the blocks.

• On all shows this week, a celebrity helps the contestants play their pricing games -- Charles Barkley on Monday, Drew and Nick Lachey on Tuesday, Sharon Osbourne on Wednesday, Demi Lovato on Thursday, and NeNe Leakes on Friday. The celebrities also help to present the showcases each day.
• The celebrity guests this week win the equivalent of the contestants' pricing game winnings in cash for the various charities they are playing for; they also spin the Big Wheel at the beginning of the second Showcase Showdown and win cash in the amount of their spin times $100 (or, alternately, the amount of cents spun times 10,000). Charles Barkley plays for the Mustard Seed School, a private school in Sacramento; the Lachey brothers play for Camp Joy, a camp near Cincinnati that helps disadvantaged youths; Sharon Osbourne plays for the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program, part of the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute at Cedars-Sinai Hospital; Demi Lovato plays for Free the Children, a global youth-empowerment organization; and NeNe Leakes plays for Saving Our Daughters, a program focused on building young girls' self-esteem and fighting domestic abuse.

• On this week's shows, a preview of the guest from the next day's broadcast is shown at the end of the second Showcase Showdown; as no consecutive episodes were actually aired on consecutive days this week, this results in such things as Friday's show having a preview of Wednesday's program and Thursday's show having no preview of anything.
• On each show this week, before the final Showcase reveal, Drew instructs viewers to visit PriceIsRight.com for a chance to win autographed copies of the celebrities' name tags.

• On Thursday, Squeeze Play is played for a car.
• Friday's Grocery Game contestant, Anitra Gonzales, tells Drew before the first Showcase Showdown that she was, in fact, named after Anitra.
• In Friday's second Showcase Showdown, Drew mistakenly resets the Big Wheel to 5 instead of the dollar after NeNe Leakes's spin; as celebrity episodes occur infrequently, it is hard to say whether this is strictly wrong or simply unusual.
• On the TV broadcast of Friday's episode, an editing mistake results in the contestants' bids being visible at the beginning of the Showcase, along with the showcases' descriptions; the online version of the episode, which was not uploaded until the following day, presumably to allow for extra editing time, does not contain this error.

Throughout the show, the Beauties take turns hosting and announcing: Gwendolyn hosts Act 1 and the second Showcase Showdown and announces Acts 3 and 6; Amber hosts Acts 3 and 6 and announces Acts 1 and 4; Manuela hosts Acts 2 and 4 and announces both closed-captioning plugs and Act 5; and Rob hosts the first Showcase Showdown and Act 5 and announces Act 2.

• On Friday, the second showcase includes, as a bonus, two tickets to the ACM Awards and two tickets to ACM Presents Tim McGraw's Superstar Summer Night; the contestants are instructed not to include this while bidding.

• On Thursday and Friday, the Pricedown dollar sign statue is present between the Turntable and Door #1.
• On Thursday, when Grand Game is lost with $1,000 on contestant Jamie's third guess, the board operator mistakenly takes her winnings back to 0, presumably because losing with $1,000 is something that normally occurs on the final guess, under which circumstance the contestant does lose their money. Drew subsequently confirms that Jamie had won $1,000 when she spins the Big Wheel.
• On Friday, Push Over uses the alternate light cover that was present on it intermittently during Season 28.

• On Thursday, the Check Game board is revamped: The checks are redesigned, with what appears to be the season number as the check number and without a spot to write out the amount of the check in words; the board is outfitted with plasma screens and gold trim; the top of the board is removed entirely, leaving the logo (which now has a Pricedown dollar sign between the words) suspended in mid-air; the price tag features the game's logo, complete with the Turntable wall pattern as its background; and the pen's feather becomes green.

Season 42 ('13-'14)

Pricing game calendar for Season 42, hosted by Scorpz.

Week 1 (1,641 – 642xK): October 18, 16, 14, 17, 15

• Originally scheduled for September 23-27.
• Originally rescheduled for October 14-18.
• This week is billed as "Big Money Week," with a game in the first half of each episode offering an augmented or unusually expensive prize:
  • On Monday, Plinko is played for $500,000, with the center slot's value increased to $100,000.
  • On Tuesday, Cliff Hangers is played for $250,000 in cash, with $10,000 being deducted from the total for every step the mountain climber takes up the mountain; this has the side effect of making it impossible to outright win the game if the contestant makes any mistakes.
  • On Wednesday, 1/2 Off is played for $100,000.
  • On Thursday, 6-digit Golden Road is played.
  • On Friday, Triple Play is played with cars that would normally only be offered in 3 Strikes or Golden Road.
• On this week's shows, "Big Money Week" appears at the base of the logo on Door #4, and dollar bills cascade down the door.
• On Monday, Adam becomes the show's director.
• On Monday, the pink light border is introduced, as are its spinning dollar signs.
• Beginning on Monday, the logo is visible onscreen at the top of the show; it flies away almost immediately, spins back in at the usual time right behind a graphic of the Big Wheel, and the splits apart along with the Big Doors during Drew's entrance. An alternate version of the new logo that shows a color array on its side is used in the mid-show bumper, and the slightly reformatted logo itself also appears on Door #4 and at the end of the credits.
• On Monday, the Goodson-Todman asterisks on the Big Doors and the Turntable are given a fatter appearance.
• On Monday, the walls around the Big Doors are modified to be able to flash different colors (although they generally only do this during the opening and remain light blue for most of the show), and an extra metallic strip is added between the walls and the doorframes; additionally, a blue backing with Goodson-Todman asterisks on it is placed behind the dollar sign between the Turntable and Door #1, and the dollar sign itself is also lit up blue. As premiere week was taped out of order, this change only applies to this week for the time being.
• On Monday, the wall on the back of the Turntable becomes blue, with fireworks and Goodson-Todman asterisks painted on it.
• On Monday, the Turntable carpet is replaced by a blue lit floor with white lighting on the fronts of the stairs; the turntable itself is solid white. Again, as this week was taped out of order, this change initially only applies to these five shows.
• Beginning on Monday, most shows have two models -- one a random person ranging from a standard model to various celebrities, and the other one of the regular Barker's Beauties.
• For this season's first 47 shows, the only permanent Beauty to appear is Rachel.
• Monday show features the debut of Do the Math.
• As it was known at the time of taping that Monday's show would be aired out of order, Do the Math involves no lauguage indicative of it being the game's first playing.
• Monday marks the debut of the fifth-generation Showcase podiums, best described as a cross between the color scheme of the fourth-generation podiums and the design of the second- and Barker-era third-generation podiums; the most notable change is the return of the Goodson-Todman asterisks, which were removed from the third-generation podiums after Bob retired. Again, as these shows were taped out of order, this change does not immediately affect shows beyond this week.
• Unlike with previous prop updates, the Race Game Curtain is not immediately altered to reflect the new Showcase podiums.
• On Monday, Jennifer Mullin joins the staff as a second executive producer.
• On Monday, Drew's sign-off includes an edited-in "recap" of Big Money events later in the week, reflecting that fact that the show was broadcast on a Friday.
• In Tuesday's Cliff Hangers, the cash prize is displayed on a video screen behind Door #3, accompanied by a shorter version of Pay the Rent's intro cue.
• In Tuesday's Cliff Hangers, the mountain climber is holding a sack full of money, as is his graphical counterpart.
• In Tuesday's Cliff Hangers, the mountain climber starts on 1 instead of 0, as moving from 0 to 25 would have resulted in the contestant losing all of the money without the mountain climber falling off the cliff; this (probably inadvertently) has the side effect of making the game slightly easier to outright lose.
• Beginning on Tuesday, presumably as a side effect of a new audio system at the show, "On the Franches Mountains" starts over in Cliff Hangers every time the mountain climber begins to move.
• Beginning on Tuesday, the price reveal in That's Too Much! is split-screened with a shot of where the contestant stopped.
• On all of this week's shows except for Monday (which was broadcast on a Friday), a plug for Big Money Week occurs at the end of the second Showcase Showdown.
• Beginning on Thursday, George always handles one of the price tags in Most Expen$ive.
• Beginning on Friday, George always handles one side of Swap Meet.
• On Friday, after the Showcase, Drew mentions giving away $100,000 in 1/2 Off "yesterday" and offering $250,000 "tomorrow;" this actually refers to Wednesday and Tuesday, respectively.

Week 2 (1,642 – 643xK): September 23-27

• Originally scheduled for September 30-October 4.
• As the first episode of the season to be broadcast, Monday's show serves as the ceremonial season premiere; as such, it also includes several semi-incorrect references to it being the first show of the season.
• On Monday, the Big Wheel graphic in the opening is replaced with the color array on the logo seen during the mid-show bumper.
• Monday's opening ends with the semi-inaccurate, "You are the first four contestants as we kick off Season 42 of The Price Is Right!"
• On Monday, an Emmy statuette is placed on the dollar sign statue in the opening and before the Showcase.
• On this week's shows, "42 Years" signs adorn the dollar signs between the Big Doors.
• On this week of shows, which was taped earlier than Week 1, the walls around the Big Doors have the same pattern as the back of the Turntable, and the previous appearance of dollar sign and its surroundings between the Turntable and Door #1 return; these designs alternate with the flashing walls and illuminated dollar sign seen last week until all of the season's early tapings air.
• On Monday, the Turntable returns to its carpeted appearance, and the fourth-generation Showcase podiums return; these also alternate with the lit floor and the fifth generation podiums until the early tapedates have all passed.
• Monday show features the first taped playing and ceremonial debut of Do the Math.
• On Monday, an extra PriceIsRight.com plug occurs after Do the Math, with Drew asking viewers to visit the site to give their opinions of the game.
• Based on a picture from CBS.com showing what appears to be the aftermath of a spin that did not go all the way around accidentally being counted (something that was not seen on the air), part of Monday's first Showcase Showdown is believed to have been scrapped and redone.
• On Monday, the backs of Secret "X"'s Xs go back to being red.
• On Friday, in celebration of Plinko's 30th anniversary (which actually occurred several months earlier, on January 3), all six pricing games are Plinko.
• On Friday, in an effort to maintain the usual prize structure of a standard episode, various prizes are placed on the Plinko board during most of its playings:
  • The first game is a standard game of Plinko.
  • The second game is for $40,000 and a car, with a "CAR" slot replacing the $10,000 slot until it is hit. No money graphic appears in the intro for this playing.
  • The third game serves as a two-prize game, with "ATV" and "HOCKEY TABLE" slots replacing the $1,000 slots until they are hit. Paradoxically, the game cannot be won if either of these prizes is hit.
  • The fourth game is for $40,000 and a car, with an "SUV" slot replacing the $10,000 slot until it is hit. No money graphic appears in the intro for this playing.
  • The fifth game is for $40,000 and a trip to London, with a "LONDON" slot replacing the $10,000 slot until it is hit. No money graphic appears in the intro for this playing.
  • The sixth game serves as a two-prize game, with "ELLIPTICAL TRAINER" and "COMPUTER" slots replacing the $1,000 slots until they are hit. Paradoxically, the game cannot be won if either of these prize is hit.
• The prizes in Friday's Plinkos are placed behind Door #3; the small prizes podiums are brought out from the left and right one at a time in these playings, with no more than two of them onstage at once.
• Friday is the only time in the show's history that one pricing game has been played multiple times in a single episode; it is also the first show ever with six cash games, as well as the only show with six small prize games.
• On Friday, the text "30 years of Plinko" appears at the base of the logo on Door #4; oddly, this text is not present during the opening.

Week 3 (1,643 – 644xK): September 30-October 4

• Originally scheduled for October 7-11.
• On Monday, Check-Out is played for a car.
• On Monday, contestant Jared thanks Aaron Paul for "showing him how to get here" after playing 1 Right Price; Paul was a contestant on January 3, 2000, long before he became famous.
• Tuesday's show is themed around Breast Cancer Awareness Month; everyone in the audience has had their life affected by breast cancer in some way. As such, several things about this episode are different than usual:
  • The logo on Door #4 is the Barker logo with a pink ribbon behind it.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month on The Price Is Right!"
  • The stairs on the Turntable are pink.
  • The Contestants' Row displays have pink ribbons on them until the bids appear.
  • The dollar sign between the Turntable and Door #1 is pink and has a pink ribbon on it.
  • The background on George's podium and its dollar sign are both different shades of pink; the same holds true of his calldown window and its dollar sign.
  • All of the Items up for Bids are from companies that donate part of their profits to breast cancer research.
  • The PriceIsRight.com graphics are pink.
  • The Big Wheel's split-screen separators are pink.

  • The displays on the Showcase podiums are pink.
  • After the last commercial, Drew and George announce that everyone in the audience will also receive a charm necklace with a pink ribbon design on it from Helen Ficalora; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as Drew instructs viewers to visit the website for chances to win both one of said necklaces and the bag from the fifth Item up for Bids.
• On Tuesday, which was taped out of order, the new Big Door walls, Turntable, and Showcase podiums are present.
• On Tuesday, the guest Barker's Beauty is E! News anchor Giuliana Rancic, herself a survivor of breast cancer; she also helps to present the second showcase.
• On Tuesday, Drew semi-inaccurately states that it is "the start of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month."
• On Tuesday, the remix of The Bean Stalker resurfaces; it is used occasionally for cars from this point onward.
• On Tuesday, everyone in the audience receives a bag from the collection used as the fifth Item up for Bids.
• On Wednesday, with only two Barker's Beauties present, George handles the right side of Swap Meet.
• On Thursday, an unidentified contestant was disqualified after the taping when it was discovered that he or she was ineligible.
• After Friday's Showcase, due to episodes being broadcast out of order, Drew plugs Week 5's Publishers Clearing House event as starting "on Monday."

• Originally rescheduled for October 21-25.

• On Monday, 4-digit Squeeze Play is accidentally played with the dollar sign from 5-digit Squeeze Play, resulting in a noticeable blank spot to the left of the contestant's bid.
• Beginning on Tuesday, Master Key's first two prizes are stationed in front of Door #2, and the car is not revealed until they have both been described.
• On Wednesday, Switcheroo's "think" cue starts over on the contestant's second turn, presumably as a result of the show's new, automated sound system.
• On Friday, which was taped out of order, "On the Franches Mountains" behaves normally during Cliff Hangers.

Week 5 (1,645 – 646xK): October 7-11

• Originally scheduled for October 21-25.
• This week's show use the illuminated Turntable, Big Door borders, and Showcase podiums.
• Each day this week, the first contestant to win a pricing game receives a bonus of $20,000 from Publishers Clearing House; this bonus counts toward the contestant's total winnings for placement in the Showcase Showdown and the Showcase. The winners of the jackpot are presented a check by the Prize Patrol at the end of their game. If all six games are lost, the money is awarded to the winner of the Showcase; it is not known what happens if there are six losses and a double overbid.

  • The logo at the end of the opening is backed by a full moon with bats flying out from behind it.

    • Rat Race is renamed "Bat Race"; bat wings are attached to the wind-up rats, and the rat racer is costumed as a bat.

    • Cliff Hangers is decorated as a graveyard, and the mountain climber is dressed as the grim reaper (as is his graphic).
  • Geoff Peterson, the robot skeleton sidekick from The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, drives out the car in Lucky $even and calls down the seventh contestant.

  • The Contestants' Row displays all look like green chalkboards, with the logo from Door #4 appearing on them while they are not displaying bids.

• On Monday, the illuminated Big Doors, Turntable, and Showcase podiums first seen on the season premiere become permanent.

Marcela had previously been a contestant on November 29, 2004, and clips of her coming on down and winning That's Too Much! are shown at the beginning of Punch a Bunch; Drew invites viewers to visit PriceIsRight.com to see the entire clip of her appearance.

• On Wednesday, George's calldown window is redesigned to mimic the light border, with a blue dollar sign and cascading pinks and blues behind the lights.

• On Wednesday, the pink light border replaces the Season 40 light border in plasma screen graphics; due to shows being taped out of order, this does not immediately become a permanent change, although it is present on Thursday.
• Thursday's show, despite being a Thursday show, is broadcast on and themed around Cyber Monday. As a result of the theme, several things about the episode are different than usual:
  • A "Cyber Monday" price tag graphic similar to the "Bargain Game" logo is attached to the TPIR logo on Door #4; this logo also appears during every commercial outro and the closed-captioning plugs.

• Originally scheduled for June 9-13.
• This week is billed as "Socially Awesome Week," with each episode focusing on a different aspect of social media.
  • Monday's show is focused on Twitter; everyone in the audience is a follower of the show's Twitter account, and viewers are encouraged to tweet the show during the broadcast (and, in fact, all of the week's broadcasts) with the incentive that some of the tweets will appear on the air.

  • Everyone in the audience is a member of the military.
  • The Star-Spangled Banner, performed by the Third Marine Aircraft Wing Band in the back of the audience, is played throughout the opening. The band also plays after every pricing game win; during the credits; and during every commercial outro, with the exception of the commercial during the Showcase, where the theme plays as usual.
  • The dollar sign statue in the opening has the text "4th of July" attached to it, as do the dollar signs between the Big Doors and the one on the Turntable wall; the text also appears at the base of the logos on Door #4 and on George's display (with said logo replacing said display's dollar sign).

The displays also have varying things in front of the flags: During the opening, they display red, white, and blue stars in their centers; after contestants come on down, their names are displayed; and nothing is displayed during the body of the show when a spot is unoccupied, leaving the background in full view. When contestants bid, the graphics are wiped away, being replaced with the normal colors.
    • Likely related to the contestants' names appearing on the Contestants' Row displays is the fact that no one in the audience has a name tag.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we salute the military this 4th of July on The Price Is Right!"
  • George introduces Drew with, "And now, here's your host: The one, the only, Drew Carey!"

  • The leg of the Dice Game table is draped with bunting.
  • Similar to Contestants' Row, the contestants names are displayed on the Showcase podiums instead of the logo until they bid.
  • Before revealing the winner of the Showcase, Drew and George announce that everyone in the audience will receive a trip to Palm Springs; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George instructs viewers to visit the website for a chance to win said trip.
  • The credits begin with, "Special thanks to the United States Department of Defense."
• Thursday's second showcase includes, as a bonus, an MLB package consisting of several tickets and various baseball paraphernalia; the contestants are presumably instructed off-air not to include this while bidding.
• Friday's show is billed as a "back to school" episode; as such, the following aspects of it are different than usual:
  • Everyone in the audience is a college student.
  • The background on Door #4 is a tablet with various drawings scribbled on it; a similar background appears on George's display.
  • The TPIR logo on Door #4 and George's display appears to be scribbled onto the tablet background and has the text "Back to School" scribbled at its base. This logo also appears during every commercial outro.

  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants on a special back-to-school episode of The Price Is Right!"
  • George introduces Drew as "Your principal, Drew Carey!"
• On Friday, everyone in the audience receives a latte machine, a portion of the fifth Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George instructs viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said latte machines.

  • The second turn, instead of providing 20 seconds for a single guess, allows the contestant to make as many guess as they can while the amount of money they can win gradually ticks away; each time the contestant places the products, he must press a button a short distance away to check his guess, a la Bonkers.

  • Door #4 shows a collection of presents in front of a Christmasy background accompanied by falling snowflakes, and the words "Cyber Monday" appear at the base of the logo; a scaled-down version of this graphic also supplants the usual graphics on George's plasma screen.

  • On Tuesday, Drew, for the first time since before Roger was fired, enters through the audience (as opposed to entering from the Turntable); a dance-off between PA Matt Spinelli and George (as opposed to Drew talking to the audience) is shown on PriceIsRight.com after the second Showcase Showdown; and the Showcase winner must be $1,000 or less away from the actual retail price to win both showcases (as opposed to having a dollar on the Big Wheel be worth $10,000 instead of $1,000).
  • On Wednesday, before the third Item up for Bids, Drew sends viewers to PriceIsRight.com to see Rachel give a tour of the pricing game storage area (as opposed to a video about the inner workings of George's podium); Double Prices is played for a yacht trip to the Caribbean (as opposed to a shopping spree in Barcelona); and the mountain climber in Cliff Hangers is dressed as Rachel, complete with Rachel providing the yodeling (as opposed to being dressed as Drew).
  • On Thursday, George serves as a fourth Barker's Beauty from the second Item up for Bids onward (as opposed to having a special guest model); Plinko's $100 slots are changed to $10,000 slots (as opposed to playing the game for $125,000, with a $25,000 slot in the center); and after the second Showcase Showdown, Drew sends viewers to PriceIsRight.com to watch a video of Plinko being set up (as opposed to a video of the Big Wheel being set up).

• In addition to the above, the following aspects of this week's shows are different than usual:
  • Door #4 displays the text "#UDecide" in front of a blue version of the Carey logo's background; the door's background is a cyberish pattern with various Price-related hashtags floating across it. A similar logo and background supplant the regular dollar sign and background on George's display.
  • The regular logo with the text "#UDecide" at its base appears during every commercial outro.
• On this week's shows, the video screens are redone with a silver color scheme; as these episodes were taped out of order, this change does not take effect permanently yet.
• On Monday, two small prize games are played; however, this is a byproduct of #UDecide, as Rat Race's vote going the other way would have given a normal fee game combo of Grand Game and Pathfinder.

• On Wednesday, the cash register sound effect is removed from the second part of Time I$ Møney.

• As Monday was taped alongside Week 28, two set changes seen in that week are present on this show: The border of Door #4 is silver, and the stage in the back of the audience is replaced by a runway (whose spotlights are red, yellow, and blue in this episode as opposed to being all white).
• On Monday, the silver video screens first seen in Week 21 are present.
• On Monday, everyone in the audience receives a mini refrigerator, a portion of the third Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said refrigerators.

Week 26 (1,705 – 706xK): March 23-27

• On Tuesday, for no apparent reason, George models the second prize in Magic #.

• As the contestants do not know each other, Monday's trips include four tickets instead of the usual two and are arranged in such a way that the two players can take their vacations separately.
• On Monday, presumably due to the longer come on downs necessitated by calling two people separately, an edit of the opening version of "Walking" is used that starts 15 seconds in, at the first point that sounds like the beginning of the cue used during the body of the show; oddly, this edit is only used at the beginning of Act 3.

• In an unusual occurrence, Tuesday's show has four contestants named David.
• On Tuesday, after the last commercial, Drew and George announce that every couple in the audience will receive a $200 gift card from Fogo de Chão; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said gift cards.

• Originally scheduled for May 4-8.
• Originally rescheduled for May 4, August 25, May 6-8.
• On Tuesday, three Barker's Beauties are present.
• Tuesday's second showcase was originally themed around Cinco de Mayo; however, because of a trip offered elsewhere in the show to Nepal, which was struck by a devastating earthquake in the interval between the episode's tapedate and its intended airdate, the program was shuffled to late August, and as such, the script for the showcase was redone in post to remove any reference to the holiday.

It was originally planned with only two shows, for Monday and Tuesday; the Wednesday show was only added to keep the season at 190 episodes after the planned Halloween episode, #6865K, was cancelled in the wake of Drew having neck surgery. Initially, the Monday and Tuesday shows were simply shifted to Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, with the Monday show being replanned as a regular episode for June 29; however, at some point, it was decided to make all three of the shows summer specials, with Monday effectively regaining its original status as the Independence Day episode.

  • The light border is red and blue.
  • Door #4's background is a blue field with fireworks bursting against it and stars flying out from behind the logo; a similar background appears on George's display.

  • No one in the audience has a name tag.
  • Contestants' ranks are announced as they are called on down.
  • The Contestants' Row displays show the same background seen on Door #4 and the insignia of the branch of the military of their current contestant.

  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we salute the military and celebrate our independence on The Price Is Right!"
  • During Drew's entrance, he is backed by a Marine colorguard, a set of American flag backdrops, and the large plasma screen showing the image from Door #4 instead of by the Barker Wall.
  • The light strips around the Big Doors are red (on Door #1), white (on Door #2), and blue (on Door #3).

  • The light strip around the Turntable chases red, white, and blue during the opening; it appears to be off for the remainder of the show.

  • The set is decorated with a beach theme.
  • Door #4 shows a four-colored beach scene, with a silhouette of the logo against the setting sun and the words "Summer Beach Party" beneath it; a similar scene appears on George's display, and the center of the scene appears during every commercial outro in addition to the logo's usual spots.
  • George and many audience members are dressed in beach attire.
  • The Contestants' Row displays show a sandy beach; when a contestant bids, a wave washes over the scene, leaving their bid etched in the sand.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we throw a summer beach party on The Price Is Right!"
  • During Drew's entrance, he is backed by several pink prize backdrops instead of the Barker Wall.
  • Most of the pricing games are temporarily renamed to fit with the beach theme; Flip Flop, It's in the Bag, That's Too Much!, 1 Right Price, and Shell Game are renamed Flip Flops, It's in the Beach Bag, That's Too Much Sun!, 1 Righteous Price, and Sea Shell Game, respectively.

  • The grocery bags in It's in the Bag are altered to look like beach totes.
  • A sun is added to the end of the That's Too Much! board.
  • A swimsuit-clad mountain climber is riding a surfboard perched atop the Balance Game scales (although, in the tradition of Cliff Hangers, he falls off partway through the game).
  • "Righteous" is written in a different font than the rest of the "1 Right Price" logo, and triangles are added behind it; additionally, the entire color scheme of the graphical logo is changed.
  • To fit its temporary game, Shell Game's shells are covered with seashells, the shells around its logo are turned into seashells, and the usual ball is replaced with a solid white one to represent a pearl.
• On Tuesday, Shell Game is played for a car.
• In Tuesday's second showcase, the second prize, a party boat, is modeled by the other four onstage contestants.
• Wednesday's show is themed as a "back to school" episode; as such, the following aspects of it are different than usual:
  • Everyone in the audience is a teacher.
  • Door #4 shows a chalkboard with "Back to School" written on the background of the Carey logo as various other school-related drawings scroll by, with various school paraphernalia to the sides; a similar pattern, minus the chalkboard itself, appears on George's display, and the logo appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four teachers in attendance on a special back-to-school episode of The Price Is Right!"
  • The set is decorated with various school paraphernalia.
  • The Contestants' Row displays show the chalkboard pattern from Door #4; when the contestants bid, the patterns wipe away to reveal the normal colors.
  • Everyone who gets onstage receives a $500 gift card for school supplies from Geddes; George plugs this before the first game. Additionally, George announces before the sixth game that everyone else will receive a $100 Geddes gift card; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as he urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said gift cards.
• On Wednesday, three Barker's Beauties are present.
• Wednesday's first showcase includes, as a bonus, an interactive touch-panel computer system for the winner's school; the contestants are instructed not to include it when they bid.

• The hexagon seat covers are present for most of this week; Thursday's show, which was taped out of order, uses the blue dollar sign seat covers.
• On Wednesday, Now....or Then is played under its original name, "Now....and Then;" this was presumably an oversight after the taping of Decades Week, as Drew referred to the game as "Now....or Then" and the previous playing, which was taped later, used the current name.
• Thursday's show features the "Best of 2015," with a look back at some of Price's best moments of the past year and some of the staff's favorite prizes from the same period (with the two frequently going hand-in-hand). The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
  • Door #4 shows the text "Be$t of 2015" (with the dollar sign in Pricedown) beneath a disco ball and against a red background with cascading Pricedown dollar signs.

• On Thursday, Drew inaccurately states that Squeeze Play looks "exactly how [it] looked back when it premiered back in the '70s;" while this is true of the game's color scheme, which was reverted during Decades Week, the game's second logo remains, as do the covering on the hole beneath the price reveal and the extra side walls that were added when the game was moved to the Turntable.
• On Thursday, in an unusual move, two grocery item games and a small prize game are played.

  • On Tuesday, voters were asked whether Triple Play or 3 Strikes (the winner) should be played.

• On Friday, the audience curtains are solid blue, and the blue light columns have become orange; additionally, the strings of hypocycloid diamonds on the curtains have been removed, and the curtains are now adorned with Goodson-Todman asterisks in various colors and sizes. As the episode was taped out of order, this change does not immediately become permanent.
• Friday's show is themed as a "college rivals" episode; pairs of students from rival schools are called down, with a coin flip determining which school's student is called first, and the rival of the winner of each Item up for Bids is sent back to the audience (but is awarded $1,000 if that person subsequently loses their pricing game). This results in two new contestants being called before each game. The following other aspects of this episode are also different than usual:

  • The opening ends with, "You are the first college rivals to face off on The Price Is Right!"
  • The Contestants' Row displays show foam fingers in the appropriate colors, with left hands on the red and blue displays and right hands on the yellow and green displays; when the contestants bid, these patterns wipe away to reveal the normal backgrounds.
  • George's display shows an orange foam finger squaring off with a red one in the stadium from Door #4.
  • Each pair of contestants after Act 1 is only told to come on down after they are both called, followed by, "You're the next college rivals to face off on The Price Is Right!"
  • The "College Rivals" version of the logo appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
• On Friday, both Squeeze Play and Cliff Hangers are played for a car.
• On Friday, three Barker's Beauties are present.
• Beginning on Friday, Check Game's price is hidden on a second price tag behind the one with the logo when the prize is shown on Door #4, a la Coming or Going.

• On Monday, the audience curtains, the audience light strip, and George's podium revert to their appearance from Week 25.
• On Monday, Balance Game is played for a car.
• On Friday, in celebration of April Fool's Day and as part of a contest, a number of things on the show are intentionally done wrong; the viewer who correctly identifies the most mistakes wins a trip to Costa Rica, with a random drawing determining the winner should a tie for the most right answers occur. Drew plugs this contest on Monday and Thursday after the second Showcase Showdown, and George explains it again at the top of Friday's show, segueing directly into the opening as he finishes. George describes the trip before the first Item up for Bids.
• The April Fool's Day mistakes are as follows:
  • Drew enters through Door #1.
  • The Contestants' Row displays are yellow, red, green, and blue.
  • The TPIR logos shown on the first Item up for Bids are backwards.
  • The Goodson-Todman asterisks in front of Contestants' Row are replaced with stars.
  • George calls his mother "Llama Bay" instead of "Mama May."
  • Drew introduces Amber as "Amber McGee" during the first Item up for Bids.
  • The price of each Item up for Bids is written on the card for a different act, and the fourth Item up for Bids does not have a card at all.
  • The background of Door #4 moves the wrong direction.
  • Money Game uses its boat graphics (which are not the same ones that existed the last time it was actually played for a boat); oddly, the pictures hidden behind the numbers on the upper part of the board are the usual car graphics.
  • The license plate given to the winner of Money Game says "Person" instead of "Winner."
  • The jib camera is onscreen during the reveal of the second Item up for Bids.
  • The grill in Bargain Game is barbecuing fruit.
  • Various logos from other specials appear during the commercial outros and closed-captioning plugs.
  • The logo is not centered on George's podium during Act 3. (This is not counted for the contest but is nonetheless wrong.)
  • When the camera comes back to the third Item up for Bids after panning Contestants' Row, Amber has turned into Rachel.
  • The $10,000 bill from Punch a Bunch, with a more current picture of Drew, is set up next to Grand Game.
  • Grand Game's grocery labels are blue.

  • The Train uses the Tugboat's sound effects during the fourth Item up for Bids.
  • The television offered in Push Over airs nothing but snow.
  • The hands are missing from the Push Over board.
  • The blue window in Push Over is yellow.
  • In Act 5, Drew asks for the contestant and the Item up for Bids in the wrong order.
  • The Turntable reverses the front side and the game side for the duration of Act 5; this also results in it spinning the wrong direction while revealing the fifth Item up for Bids.
  • The "Cliff Hangers" logo is replaced with a logo reading "Yodely Guy."
  • In Cliff Hangers, the mountain climber and his graphical counterpart are facing downhill, are only holding their pick with one hand, have brown hair instead of black, have smaller noses than usual, are wearing shoes and socks that are too small, and are halfway undressed.
  • The shot of the top of the mountain shown as Drew is explaining Cliff Hangers is from several seasons ago; the normal "Cliff Hangers" logo is visible on the board, and the metal strips to its right are from a previous incarnation of Door #2. (This was apparently a genuine edit and not a mistake for the contest.)
  • The entire Reveal, as well as the two stagehands operating it, are shown on-camera during the sixth Item up for Bids.
  • The car backdrops in That's Too Much! show an old picture of George.
  • Drew calls Amber "Amber Lester" during That's Too Much!.

Week 33 (1,752 – 753xK): May 9-13

• This week of shows is The Price Is Right/Let's Make a Deal Ma$h Up Week; each day, The Price Is Right uses one recurring deal from Let's Make a Deal as a pricing game, and Let's Make a Deal likewise plays one pricing game as a deal.
• The deals on The Price Is Right are as follows:
  • On Monday, Car Pong is played as a small prize game -- four items are shown, and the contestant earns five extra seconds for the game for every safe pick he makes in a game of Danger Price.
  • On Tuesday, Go for a Spin is played as a small prize game -- three items are shown, and the contestant must decide whether each one's price is right-side-up (i.e. $15) or upside-down (i.e. $51). Every right answer removes one Zonk from the wheel and earns the contestant $500; the money from the small prizes can be used as a bail-out if the contestant doesn't want to risk spinning the wheel.
  • On Wednesday, Gold Rush is played with seven boxes (as opposed to the usual eight), with the contestant having to pick the five digits in the price of the car (the gold) before selecting both of the fakes (the dynamite). The contestant can quit with any money accumulated at any point after picking the first dynamite (which, unlike on Let's Make a Deal, does not erase the contestant's winnings). The positions of the numbers in the car's price are not revealed until the end of the game. For this appearance, a Pricedown dollar sign is added to the left of the number boxes.
  • On Thursday, Accelerator is played as a grocery item game. The contestant starts with two rolls and can win up to three more by playing the pricing portion of Hole in One with four items; each price reveal beyond the first earns an additional roll until a mistake is encountered. Once a letter is hit, all instances of that letter turn into Zonks; hitting a Zonk takes away any accumulated money but does not in and of itself end the game.
  • On Friday, Smash for Ca$h is played as a grocery item game with six piggy banks. Each piggy bank has a grocery product attached to it, five of which cost less than a target price; each time one of those five groceries is smashed, $1, $2, $3, $4, or $5 is revealed, with each dollar lighting up one space on the game board. At any point, the contestant may quit with the highest cash award has been lit up thus far; however, smashing the piggy bank over the target price ends the game and leaves the contestant with nothing. For this appearance, several Pricedown dollar signs are added to the game's set in place of the two leftmost and two rightmost piggy banks.
• The pricing games on Let's Make a Deal are as follows:
  • On Monday, Cliff Hangers is played for a set of golf clubs or a car. The contestant chooses one envelope from each of three rows of three; the envelopes have numbers in them, which determine how far the mountain climber moves. Finishing anywhere from 16-21 wins the golf clubs; finishing anywhere from 22-25 wins the car; not reaching 16 or going over the cliff results in a loss. The contestant is offered $700 to quit before picking the last envelope.
  • On Tuesday, Hole in One is played without groceries for the $500 bonus, an ATV, or a car. To win the $500, the contestant must make a putt from the sixth line. Afterward, she may either quit with the money or give it back for a chance to win the ATV by making another putt from the fourth line. After that, she may quit with the ATV or give it back and go for the car by making a third putt from the first line. The contestant is allowed to redo one putt during the game, incorporating its "Hole in One or Two" element. The three prizes are represented on their respective lines by the grocery flags; as such, the gold $500 flag is not present.
  • On Wednesday, 5 Price Tags is played for $20,000. Instead of the usual gameplay, the contestant is shown the clip of Manuela accidentally revealing the price from episode #7074K; she must then, in one choice, identify the car's actual retail price from amongst five options, all of which have the same last three digits in a different order. After making her selection, she is given the option to bail out and take a set of electronics. For this appearance only, a "Ma$h Up" logo is added to the square at the base of the 5 Price Tags board.
  • On Thursday, Master Key is played with two contestants and no small prizes. Each player picks one key and can either try it in the locks and win whatever it opens or bail out with $500; the second player Wayne deals with has the added advantage of knowing which key the other contestant selected.
  • On Friday, Punch a Bunch is played with three contestants and no small prizes. Each contestant is offered a different number of punches (one for the first player, two for the second, and three for the third) and may then either take the total amount of money they punched out or trade for a box/envelope/curtain. Under this format, the potential exists for the second player to win as much as $35,000 and the third player as much as $45,000.
• Additionally, the following aspects of this week's shows are different than usual:
  • During every commercial outro and the closed-captioning plugs, the TPIR and LMaD logos appear, merge with one another, and come out with one show's logo on the other's background surrounding a "Ma$h Up Week" logo that takes elements from both of them. This graphic also appears on Door #4 and the Turntable wall during the act with the deal.
  • On Monday, Wayne Brady, Jonathan Mangum, and Tiffany Coyne host, announce, and model during Car Pong. Tiffany also helps to model the corresponding Item up for Bids.
  • On Tuesday and Thursday, Tiffany serves as a third Barker's Beauty throughout the show.
  • On Wednesday, Jonathan announces the first Item up for Bids, a video chat robot, via said prize's screen; serves as a model during Balance Game, although Manuela winds up doing the work when he proves too weak to lift the bag; models during and helps Drew to host Gold Rush; and helps to present the second showcase, which is themed around him doing quickie deals with the audience.
  • On Friday, Jonathan serves as a model during Danger Price, operates Squeeze Play, helps to run Smash for Ca$h, and helps to present the second showcase, which is themed as a deal from Let's Make a Deal.

  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four couples as we celebrate Valentine's Day on The Price Is Right!"
  • The set is decorated for Valentine's Day.
  • Most of the lights around the set are pink.
  • The G-T asterisks between the Big Doors are red.
  • The Contestants' Row displays show the couple's relationship status ("Dating," "Engaged," "Married," or "Married 25+ Years") against the background from Door #4; when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to reveal the normal colors. The contestants are also specifically placed in this order from left to right, with each set of winners being replaced by another couple from the corresponding group; this means that 24 potential sets of contestants were picked, with 15 of them not being called, and leads to the unusual circumstance of the first four contestants not being allowed to choose where to stand.
  • The borders of Contestants' Row are pink.
  • The dollar sign on George's podium is replaced with a candy heart that says, "Come on Down."
  • The Big Wheel's vertical split-screen separator is pink.

  • The first showcase focuses on the impending marriage of the pink and blue rats from Rat Race, who are revealed in a decorated 1/2 Off box.

• Originally scheduled for February 20-24.
• This week of shows is Celebrity Charity Week. Each day, a celebrity guest is called on down before the first game; they help the contestants play their pricing games, and The Price Is Right donates the cash value of anything won in those games to a charity of the celebrity's choice. They also stand under the scoreboard during the Showcase Showdowns; spin the Big Wheel at the beginning of the second Showcase Showdown, winning for their charity the amount they spin multiplied by 10,000 (i.e. 50¢ wins $5,000); and help to present the second showcase. The celebrities and their charities are as follows:
  • On Monday, Julie Bowen plays for Planned Parenthood.
  • On Tuesday, Jane Lynch plays for Direct Relief, an international disaster relief and humanitarian aid organization.
  • On Wednesday, Jack Black plays for the Society of Women Engineers, a group dedicated to the promotion of gender equality in the field of engineering.
  • On Thursday, Wilmer Valderrama plays for Voto Latino, which focuses on encouraging members of the Hispanic community to register to vote and otherwise become more involved in the political process.
  • On Friday, Chris O'Donnell plays for RedF, an organization that aims to aid in "employing the enemployable."
• In addition to the above, the following aspects of this week are different than usual:
  • Door #4 shows a Hollywood Walk of Fame star with "The Price Is Right" and a gold Plinko chip on it, with the text "Celebrity Charity Week" at its base, on a runway with spotlights shining on it; this graphic also appears on the center screen of the Turntable wall (and the entire center row during the Showcase) and on George's display, and the star version of the logo appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants on this special Celebrity Charity Week episode of The Price Is Right!"
  • The Turntable walls and light strip are gold for most of the show.

Week 23 (1,782 – 783xK): February 27-March 3

• Monday's second showcase includes, as a bonus, a seven-night stay at a Campgrounds of America campsite of the contestant's choice; oddly, the contestants are not instructed not to include this while bidding, at least on-camera.
• During Friday's second Item up for Bids, one of the Hot Seat sound effects is played instead of the bell when someone bids $1 less than the previous contestant; whether the timing of this was coincidental is unknown.
• On Friday, for no apparent reason, the logo flies onto the screen twice during the mid-show bumper.

Week 24 (1,783 – 784xK): March 6-10

• On Thursday, during Double Prices, contestant Walter tells Drew that he was on the show with Bob in 1975; while going to commercial after the game, a clip is played from his original appearance on #1674D from November 13, 1975.

• On Thursday, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the debut of The Bold and the Beautiful, John McCook, the portrayer of Eric Forrester, appears to model the cars in That's Too Much! and the first showcase and to help present the second showcase; additionally, both of the showcases are themed around B&B.
• One of the cues heard in Thursday's second showcase is the third and then-current arrangement of The Bold and the Beautiful's theme song; ironically, the song was not used on the soap opera itself that day, as in celebration of its anniversary, it restored its original theme song and opening sequence.
• Friday's show is themed as a "college rivals" episode; pairs of students or alumni from rival schools are called down, with a coin flip determining which school's student is called first, and the rival of the winner of each Item up for Bids is sent back to the audience (but is awarded $1,000 if that person subsequently loses their pricing game). This results in two new contestants being called before each game. The following other aspects of this episode are also different than usual:
  • All of the G-T asterisks in the audience and between the Big Doors are blue, and all of the audience columns are silver. When George announces a set of schools whose students will come on down, the two columns that flank Door #4 on the appropriate side change to colors that represent them, appearing in the same order as the schools' students stand in Contestants' Row; once someone gets onstage, all of the columns change to their school's color until the next act. The columns also change color during the Showcase Showdowns based on who is currently spinning the Big Wheel, and they display the Top Winner's colors on the left and the Runner-Up's colors on the right during the first part of the Showcase.
  • Door #4 shows the logo, with the words "College Rivals" at its base, inside a stadium and flanked by various sports gear. The stadium background is also shown on the Turntable screens, with the logo present on the center monitor.
  • The opening spiel is, "Here it comes! From the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood, it's College Rivalry Day on The Price Is Right!"
  • The college rivalries are announced before each pair of contestants is called, and each contestant's specific school is also announced.
  • Because of the rivalry format, the first four contestants are required to line up from left to right in Contestants' Row; in subsequent acts, the first contestant called is required to take the red or yellow spot and the second the blue or green spot.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first two college rivals to face off on The Price Is Right!"
  • The Contestants' Row displays show foam fingers in the appropriate school's colors, with left hands on the red and yellow displays and right hands on the blue and green displays, all against the stadium background from Door #4; when the contestants bid, these patterns wipe away to reveal the normal backgrounds (albeit with all four looking like the green display).
  • When Drew enters, he runs through a banner displaying the "College Rivals" logo before coming through Door #2; additionally, he is backed by spotlights and a set of grassy prize backdrops instead of by the Barker Wall.
  • The set is decorated for the special.
  • The lights on the Turntable walls, the light strip around the audience, and George's podium are blue for most of the show.
  • George's display shows an orange foam finger squaring off with a red one in the stadium from Door #4.
  • During come on downs outside of the opening, college marching band music plays until "Walking" starts up once the first contestant's name is called.
  • Each pair of contestants called after Act 1 is told, "You're the next college rivals to face off on The Price Is Right!"
  • The "College Rivals" version of the logo appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
• On Friday, three Barker's Beauties are present.

• Originally scheduled for April 3-7.

Week 29 (1,788 – 789xK): April 3-7

• Originally scheduled for April 10-14.
• This week of shows is Socially @wesome Week. Each episode has a special feature to it based around a hashtag, as follows:
  • On #ModelMonday, four models are present, including three Barker's Beauties and actor & social media personality Jake Paul, who takes over the show's Instagram account for the day. George introduces Paul during the second Item up for Bids. Additionally, Amber, James, and Rachel help to present the first showcase, and Jake Paul helps to present the second showcase.
  • On #TwitterTuesday, the two finalists from the show's Tweet for a Seat contest, which asked viewers to post their craziest "come on down" video, are in the audience, with a guarantee that one of them would be called as the fifth contestant. The winner's video is subsequently played after she gets onstage.
  • On #Winsday, every time a contestant wins their pricing game, one of the show's Twitter followers wins $1,000; for these purposes, hitting the $10,000 slot in Plinko is regarded as a win.
  • On #TBT (Throwback Thursday), the show duplicates episode #4903D from April 27, 1983 -- the same games are played; roughly the same prizes are offered in the first showcase; and era-appropriate music cues are used (although not always with the appropriate prizes), most notably the Barker-era versions of "Walking" (including the 1979-2002 mix of the opening version), the theme, and "Dig We Must." Additionally, Door #4 shows an image of the 1975-2002 Door #2, and the Turntable screens show a pattern reminiscent of the classic walls, with "Socially @wesome Week" on the middle screen; the middle screen's appearance is duplicated on George's display.
  • On #FacebookFriday, the show's ThePriceIsRightCBS Facebook account features behind-the-scenes footage shot by James before and during the show.
• Additionally, the following aspects of these episodes are different than usual:
  • The episodes are live-tweeted on both coasts, with select tweets from viewers scrolling across the bottom of the screen; this ticker does not appear in the online broadcasts. Drew reminds people about this each day and plugs the show's Twitter account before the first Item up for Bids.
  • The logo on Door #4 has the text "Socially @wesome Week" at its base instead of "45 Years," and the squares in the background have videos in them of, presumably, people who follow the show on social media (except, as noted above, on Thursday). These graphics also appear on George's display, and the logo appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
  • The Contestants' Row displays have the day's hashtag on them; these wipe away as the contestants' bids appear.
  • Monday's opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we kick off Socially @wesome Week on The Price Is Right!" The other four episodes' openings end with, "You are the first four contestants as Socially @wesome Week continues on The Price Is Right!"

• On Thursday, at the beginning of Act 3, a clip is played from the "original" 1983 episode of a contestant punching Bob in the stomach "to see if he was real."

• On Friday, three Barker's Beauties are present.

• Beginning on Thursday, the yellow and green seat covers in Contestants' Row are reversed for several episodes.
• Friday's show is a baby shower special, with expecting couples playing as teams. Additionally, the following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
  • Door #4 shows two birds looking at their egg in a nest, with the text "Baby Shower" below their tree branch. These graphics, minus the text, also appear on the center column of Turntable screens, with additional tree branches on the other two columns and pink and blue lights between the displays, and the "Baby Shower" text appears beneath the logo during every commercial outro in additional to the usual spots.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first eight contestants as we throw the ultimate baby shower on The Price Is Right!"
  • The extended version of Contestants' Row is used.
  • The Contestants' Row displays show the word "Baby" spelled out in blocks; when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to show the normal colors.

  • Every couple in the audience receives a $200 gift card for Babylist, a portion of the prize package from Vend-O-Price, and a Baby Bullet blender package, a portion of the sixth Item up for Bids; these also serve as PriceIsRight.com plugs, as George urges viewers to visit the website for chances to win said gift cards and blenders.

• Originally scheduled for October 2-6.
• Originally rescheduled for October 2-5, June 25.
• Monday's show was pre-empted in most of the country and was subsequently rerun on October 23; oddly, even though the program was aired in full in the Pacific Time Zone on October 2, CBS appears to treat the episode as though its original broadcast never took place, not uploading it to CBS.com until October 23 and not referring to that day's airing as a rerun.
• Monday's show is themed around Breast Cancer Awareness Month; everyone in the audience either has, has survived, or has somehow been affected by breast cancer. Additionally, the following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
  • Most of the colored lights on the set are various shades of pink.
  • Door #4 shows the logo with the word "Price" and the right-hand background in pink, the left-hand background in white, and a pink ribbon covering the dollar sign, all against a blue background with cascading, pink bubbles; this version of the logo also appears on the Showcase podiums, as well as during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month on The Price Is Right!"
  • The Turntable walls and the Contestants' Row displays show pink ribbons against a pinkless version of the background from Door #4; George's podium also shows this background, but with the logo from Door #4.

  • George's calldown window and its dollar sign are pink.

  • The G-T asterisks on the Showcase podiums are pink.
• On Monday, Range Game and Push over are both played for a car; no real car games are played on this episode.
• On Tuesday, new, slightly larger price displays are installed on Do the Math; at the same time, the displays' background is darkened noticeably, and the size of their font is altered. As the episode was taped out of order, these changes do not immediately become permanent.
• On Friday, latches are installed on the backs of the number slots in Pick-a-Number, allowing Drew to automate the price reveal.
• On Friday, a new font is introduced for Magic #'s price tags.

Week 4 (1,803 – 804xK): October 9-13

• This week is Dream Car Week; every day, at least one game is played for a car that would normally only appear in 3 Strikes or Golden Road, as follows:
  • On Monday, Money Game is played for a Range Rover, and Gas Money, whose cash awards are all multiplied by five (for a potential payout of $50,000), is played for a Maserati.

  • The G-T asterisks around the audience are all light blue.
  • Door #4 shows a sports car with the logo on its hood driving down a strip of highway against a green and blue background with spiraling lights; the text "Dream Car Week" appears at the base of the car.
  • Monday's opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we kick off Dream Car Week on The Price Is Right!" On the other four shows, the opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as Dream Car Week continues on The Price Is Right!"
  • In place of Drew's standard entrance, the end of the opening transitions to a trip screen next to Door #2 that shows Door #4's normal graphics; the graphical logo then flies away from this screen as the camera pans away to show Drew driving one of the day's dream cars through Door #2.
  • Monitor columns showing the "Dream Car Week" graphics sit behind Door #2 during Drew's entrance instead of the Barker Wall.
  • The lights on the Turntable are blue and green.
  • The Turntable screens show the spiral-less green and blue background from Door #4, with the "Dream Car Week" text against it in the center row; the center row's graphics also appear on George's display.
  • The Contestants' Row displays show a sports car of the appropriate color; when the contestants bid, the cars drive off, with their exhaust revealing the bids.
  • George's podium is green and blue.
  • Most of Monday's non-car prizes are somehow car-related.
  • The G-T asterisks between the Big Doors are blue.

  • The show's usual prize structure is altered somehow every day. On Monday, the third Item up for Bids is a car (which is driven out through Door #2, stops behind Drew, and stays there throughout the third game); Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are three-car days; and on Friday, all six games are played for a car.
  • In the Showcase Showdown, the $25,000 prize for getting a dollar in a bonus spin is replaced with an Audi A3; the car sits onstage alongside the Big Wheel.
• On Monday, the lights around the Big Doors do not turn red during the first Showcase Showdown.
• On Tuesday, Secret "X" is played for a car.
• On Tuesday, unbeknownst to the cast, there is only one check on the Check Game board, as opposed to the usual two; this eventually results in Drew and Amber tearing the check to shreds as they attempt to unglue it from the board to give it to the contestant.
• Tuesday's rerun broadcast on August 14 includes the real credits; this appears to have been a network-level mistake, as all of CBS's other daytime shows aired their real credit rolls that day, as well.
• On Thursday, Range Game is played for a car.
• On Friday, Double Prices, Now....or Then, Balance Game, and Squeeze Play are each played for a car.
• On Friday, Double Prices is played at Door #3.

• Tuesday's show is a Halloween special themed around superhero movies. The episode begins normally, with nothing amiss until the end of the opening; however, as George announces the show's name after calling the first four contestants, the graphics and lights begin to malfunction, and as ominous music plays, a sentient musical instrument flies onto the screen. Cackling, it announces, "I'm Dr. Trombones, and I'm here to make sure nobody wins today! That's right! And no one can stop me!" It then flies away, laughing maniacally, as the losing horns play. Suddenly, though, the lights around the audience and on the Turntable turn purple and light blue (colors they retain for the rest of the show), the music changes to a heroic overture, and a voice intones, "But you're wrong, Dr. Trombones...because there's a team that will fight for contestants to win their prizes. They're the warriors of winning...the prodigies of prize. They are...The Prize League!" As this announcement is made, the Race Game Curtain raises to reveal George and all four Barker's Beauties dressed as superheroes. After a brief pause for the audience to applaud, the voice introduces each hero, complete with dramatic-looking graphics of their names: George as "The Plinkster," a hero who fights crime with Plinko chips; "Manuela Transmission," an Amazon warrior with headlights for a breastplate and a hubcap-shaped shield; "Yodely Gal," Rachel dressed as a cross between Thor and the mountain climber; a caped but shirtless James as "Ab Man; and" Amber as "The Purrtector," a cat-themed heroine who does, in fact, protectively hold a cat. Then, as the camera pans across the heroes while slowly zooming in on Door #2, the voice continues, "Finally, he's the earl of easy money, the prince of prizes, the grand duke of good times: It's Captain Giveaway!" As the announcement ends, the doors open to reveal Drew dressed as a Price Is Right version of Nick Fury in a uniform adorned with Pricedown dollar signs, including one on his eye patch. Heroically brandishing his microphone, he declares, "Have no fear. The Prize League is here! And we're comin' for you, Dr. Trombones. Now, let's get to work!" As his speech ends, the lights come back on, the graphics stop malfunctioning, the other League members dash off to prepare for their next duties on the show, and as the Captain asks The Plinkster for the first Item up for Bids, a cityscape appears on Door #4, along with comic book versions of the heroes and the words "The Prize League."
• Additionally, the following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants on the Halloween special of The Price Is Right!"
  • Because of the structure of the opening, Drew enters with his microphone already in hand.
  • The lights around the audience and on the Turntable retain their colors from the superhero intros throughout the show; additionally, the G-T asterisks between the Big Doors are purple, and George's podium is light blue.
  • The background from Door #4 also appears on the Turntable screens, with the center row also displaying a silver "The Prize League" variant of the logo; the graphics from the center row are also shown on George's display.

  • Each time a loss occurs, including when a contestant goes over on the Big Wheel, a cackling Dr. Trombones flies across the screen as the losing horns play.
  • The Punchboard holes have "no Dr. Trombones" graphics on them.
  • Punch a Bunch's $25,000 bill has a picture of Captain Giveaway (with the eye patch on the wrong eye).
  • The League members fly onto Door #4 a second time as the show comes back from commercial before the Showcase.
  • The heroic music plays during the credits.
  • The executive producer, co-EP, and director credits are shown in the "The Prize League" font.
  • Portions of the events during the credits are digitally altered to appear as animated hand-drawn sketches.

• On Tuesday, Balance Game is played for a car.

Week 8 (1,807 – 808xK): November 6-10

• On Tuesday, the theme does not play at the end of Act 1; this was presumably spurred by the unusual ending of Let 'em Roll, in which the contestant quit with $1,500 despite having four cars and two rolls left.
• On Wednesday, contestant Amanda wins Dice Game without having to make any decisions, rolling a 6, the third number, a 1, and the fifth number.

  • The set is decorated for the holiday.
  • The Turntable screens show a mural of the American flag.

• On Tuesday, Cover Up's "wrong price" is the rats from Rat Race running through a maze toward a car.

This results in two new contestants being called before each game. The following other aspects of this episode are also different than usual:
  • The G-T asterisks around the audience, the lights on the Turntable, and George's podium all show traditional fall colors.
  • Door #4 shows the logo on a football (which doubles as the body of a pilgrim hat-wearing turkey) with the football helmet-flanked words "College Rivals" at its base, with a football stadium whose lights radiate fall colors as the background. The same background appears on the Turntable screens and George's podium, with the turkey version of the logo on George's display and the center Turntable screen (and the entire center row during the Showcase) and the "College Rivals" graphics on the remaining Turntable screens.
  • The opening spiel is, "Here it comes! From the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood, it's college rivalry day on The Price Is Right!"
  • The college rivalries are announced and shown on Door #4 before each pair of contestants is called; each contestant's specific school is also announced.
  • Because of the rivalry format, the first four contestants are required to line up from left to right in Contestants' Row; in subsequent acts, the first contestant called is required to take the red or yellow spot and the second the blue or green spot.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first college rivalries to face off on The Price Is Right!"
  • The Contestants' Row displays show foam fingers in the appropriate school's colors, with left hands on the red and yellow displays and right hands on the blue and green displays, all against the Door #4 stadium background from Season 45's college rivals episode; when the contestants bid, these patterns wipe away to reveal the normal backgrounds (albeit with all four looking like the green display).
  • When Drew enters, he runs through a banner displaying the "College Rivals" version of the logo from Season 45 before coming through Door #2 while flanked by fireworks; additionally, he is backed by spotlights and a set of grassy prize backdrops instead of by the Barker Wall.

  • Door #4 shows a pile of Christmas presents, a shopping cart, and the text "Cyber Monday" (with the "o" being the logo in the form of an ornament) against a background of cubes with a mouse pointer moving across the screen, dragging the gift boxes into the cart (largely the same graphics from Season 45's Cyber Monday episode); the same graphics appear on George's display and the center row of Turntable screens (with the other two rows showing raining gift boxes against the same background), and the "Cyber Monday" logo appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
  • The Contestants' Row displays reuse the graphics from Season 44's Cyber Monday episode, showing the text "Cyber Monday" on a computer keyboard; when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to reveal the normal colors.
  • Every contestant who gets onstage receives a $1,000 gift card from J.C. Penney, the provider of the first Item up for Bids.

• On Friday, contestant Marae tells Drew that her twin sister, Marene, who is in the audience, was on the show 40 years earlier; as they go to commercial after she plays More or Less, clips are shown from the November 15, 1977 show (#2562D) of Marene, with Marae looking on from the audience, being called down by Johnny, getting up onstage, and winning Hurdles.
• Friday's second showcase includes, as a bonus, a backstage experience at the Puppy Bowl; oddly, the contestants are not instructed not to include this while bidding, although this is likely because a bid was made immediately after the showcase ended without Drew having a chance to say anything.

• Originally scheduled for February 5-9.
• On Wednesday, Grocery Game is played for a car.

  • The extended version of Contestants' Row is used.

• On Wednesday, the curtain between Door #3 and the audience light strip is absent, revealing the same wall stripes that appear in the old producers' table area. This change becomes permanent later in the season.
• On Wednesday, in an unusual occurrence, Drew hosts Double Prices with no Barker's Beauties present, leading him to simply toss the non-selected price on the floor.
• On Wednesday, Secret "X" is played for a trip to Paris, where Drew and Amie got engaged; a picture of them after their engagement is shown on Door #4 after the prize description.
• On Thursday and Friday, Mishael Morgan, the portrayer of Hilary Curtis on The Young and the Restless, appears as a guest third Barker's Beauty.

  • On Wednesday, the first show of the week to be broadcast, the opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we kick off Big Money Week on The Price Is Right!"

    • The extended version of Contestants' Row is used.

    • The set is decorated for the special.
    • Everyone in the audience receives a $100 gift card from Little Unicorn, the provider of the sixth Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said gift cards.

    • Due to the contestants' ages, no car games are played; the only cars offered appear in the Showcase, once the contestants have been joined by a parent.
    • Everyone in the audience receives a wearable camera, a portion of the fourth Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said cameras.
  • On Thursday, every contestant is 16; the show is billed as "Sweet 16," presumably to coincide with the eponymous portion of the NCAA basketball tournament, which also begins airing on Thursday. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
    • Door #4 shows a car, with the logo for a hood ornament and "1" and "6" birthday balloons as its passengers, driving down a palm tree-lined street with a sunset in the background.

    • The set is decorated for the special.

    • Everyone in the audience receives a box of "spring break essentials" from Campus Cube, a package designed to accompany the trip to Lake Tahoe offered as the third Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said boxes.
• On Monday through Wednesday, the curtain between Door #3 and the audience light strip is again absent.
• On Monday, despite Rat Race's motion sensors indicating that one of the contestants' rats had come in third, review of the tape left the staff unsure that it wasn't actually second; as such, after they spun the Big Wheel, Drew allowed them to choose whether they would win the first prize or the second prize. (As they had also won the car, this decision had no potential to affect the spinning order.)

  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we celebrate teachers on The Price Is Right!"
  • The Contestants' Row displays also show the chalkboard background from Do the Math; when the contestants bid, the numbers are scribbled onto them in "chalk."
  • During the third Item up for Bids, everyone in the audience receives a book and a $100 gift certificate from Scholastic; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win the book The Word Collector and one of said gift certificates.

Season 47 ('18-'19)

Pricing game calendar for Season 47, hosted by Scorpz.

Week 1 (1,840 – 841xK): September 17-20, November 13

• Originally scheduled for September 17-21.
• Monday's show is a celebration of Price's Emmy for Best Game Show. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
  • Everyone, including the audience, wears formal attire.
  • The aisles in the audience have red carpets.
  • Door #4 shows the logo, with an Emmy in place of the dollar sign, against a shimmering, gold and blue background. A version of this background also appears on the Turntable screens (accompanied by the Emmy statue in the center row), the Contestants' Row displays, and George's display (along with the Emmy version of the logo). The graphics on Contestants' Row wipe away to reveal the normal colors when the contestants bid.
  • The light strip and G-T asterisks in the audience, the lights on the Turntable walls, the G-T asterisks between the Big Doors, and the borders of the Contestants' Row displays are all gold.
  • The light columns around the audience are all dark blue.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we celebrate winning any Emmy and the start of Season 47 of The Price Is Right!"
  • George and all of the Barker's Beauties come through Door #2 with Drew at the end of the opening; George introduces them as "your host, Drew Carey, and the cast of The Price Is Right!" Manuela enters with Drew's microphone, and Rachel enters with the show's Emmy.
  • A red carpet with velvet ropes is placed in front of Door #2 for the cast's entrance.
  • The cast's entrance is backed by spotlights and Hollywood sign prize backdrops instead of the Barker Wall.
  • The G-T asterisks in front of Contestants' Row are a glittery gold.
  • Everyone who gets onstage receives, as a bonus, a $1,500+ package of luxury items, including a trip to Palm Springs; this package is described before the first game.
  • George's calldown window, instead of looking like the Season 42-44 light border, appears smooth with the background from Door #4 cascading across its edges; additionally, its dollar sign is dark blue.
  • In honor of the show's eight total Emmy awards (which are displayed in front of Door #3 during the Showcase Showdowns), getting a dollar on the Big Wheel is worth $8,000, and getting a dollar in a bonus spin is worth $80,000.
  • Everyone in the audience receives a collection of E-RaOrganics skincare products, a portion of the prize package from Cliff Hangers; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win said collection.
  • In Cliff Hangers, the mountain climber and his corresponding graphic are dressed in formal wear and are holding an Emmy.
  • The prices of the showcase are in gold Emmy envelopes.
• On Monday, the raised stage in the back of the audience is redone with a shiny, blue floor with gold borders and a silver dollar sign.
• On Monday, Double Prices is played at Door #3.
• On Monday, Double Prices is played for a car.
• On Monday, the second Reveal is introduced; the new version is designed to look like the displays on George's podium and the Turntable walls.
• On this week's shows, the logo, with the words "Premiere Week" at its base, appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots (although this was removed from Friday's show, as it was aired several weeks late).
• On Monday, with all four Barker's Beauties present, George does not model during Most Expen$ive.
• Monday's first showcase includes, as a bonus, tickets to and a limo ride to and from the 2019 Daytime Emmy Awards. The contestants are instructed not to include this while bidding.
• Beginning on Monday, in reflection of the company's name change, George signs off from the show as "a Fremantle production." The FremantleMedia logos during and after the credits are also changed to Fremantle logos at this time.
• On Tuesday, the borders of Contestants' Row become a significantly brighter shade of green.
• On Wednesday, steel rims are added around the price choices in Secret "X".
• On Thursday, the background of the graphical Switch? logo becomes a purple field with hypocycloid diamonds.

Week 2 (1,841 – 842xK): September 24-26, November 28, September 28

• Originally scheduled for September 24-28.
• On Monday, which was taped before Week 1, Switch?'s graphical logo still has the diamond/asterisk background.
• On Monday, That's Too Much! is played for a $33,000 Dodge Challenger.
• On Wednesday, only one Barker's Beauty, Rachel, is present for the entire show. This leads to George taking a more active role in the proceedings, including running the small prizes in Punch a Bunch and acting in the second showcase.
• Wednesday is a celebration of Punch a Bunch's 40th birthday. (The game actually debuted on September 27, 1978's episode, not September 26's; however, it fell in a stretch of 12 shows that were all broadcast a day early.) The following special things are done for this episode:
  • Punch a Bunch is played for $40,000, with one $40,000 slip, four $10,000, 15 $5,000, 15 $2,500, 10 $1,000, and five $500. Additionally, Drew's photo on the $40,000 bill is wearing a party hat.
  • The Punchboard is placed with Check-Out's prize package, a set of appliances described as a "party package."
  • The second showcase is themed around the game; most notably, the first prize, $4,000 in cash, is revealed on a slip that Rachel punches out of the Punchboard, which is placed between Door #1 and Door #2 and remains onstage during the credits.

Week 3 (1,842 – 843xK): October 1-5

• Monday's show is themed around Breast Cancer Awareness Month; everyone in the audience either has, has survived, or has somehow been affected by breast cancer. Additionally, the following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
  • Most of the colored lights on the set are various shades of pink.
  • Door #4 shows the logo with the word "Price" and the right-hand background in pink, the left-hand background in white, and a pink ribbon covering the dollar sign, all against a blue background with cascading, pink bubbles; this version of the logo also appears on the Showcase podiums, as well as during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month on The Price Is Right!"
  • The Turntable walls and the Contestants' Row displays show pink ribbons against a pinkless version of the background from Door #4; George's podium also shows this background, but with the logo from Door #4. When the contestants bid, the graphics on Contestants' Row wipe away to reveal the normal colors.
  • Everyone in the audience receives a Vera Bradley weekender bag, a portion of the second Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said bags.
  • George's calldown window and its dollar sign are pink.
  • The Big Wheel's split-screen separator and arrow graphic are both pink.
  • All of the money win graphics are pink.
  • The G-T asterisks on the Showcase podiums are pink.
• On Monday, Push Over is played for a car.
• On Tuesday, in honor of Cover Up being 25 years old, its "wrong price" is a series of birthday cakes, with "25" topping the middle one.
• On Tuesday, the center bar of Pathfinder's price display, normally only visible during Add 'em Up, is seen near the end of the game thanks to an unusual camera angle.
• On Wednesday, the small prize price holders in 5 Price Tags are redone with a less rigid material; the holders are also moved slightly downward so as not to cover the white borders on the podiums and are repainted to be entirely blue.
• On Thursday, contestant Christine tells Drew that she had previously appeared on the show on February 13, 2002; as they discuss this, clips are played of her winning Temptation on that episode. Coincidentally, the conversation takes place as she plays Now....or Then with a "Then" date of February 2002.
• On Friday, before playing 2 for the Price of 1, contestant Emma tells Drew that her mother, who is in the audience, had been a contestant four years earlier; while going to commercial after the game, clips are shown of her mother coming out of Contestants' Row and winning Coming or Going.
• On Friday, Double Prices is essentially set up as though it were Coming or Going, with prices of $9,565 and $5,659. Given that this took place immediately after the above note about the 2 for the Price of 1 contestant's mother, it seems likely that Coming or Going was simply replaced with Double Prices so as to avoid showing it on-air two acts in a row.

Week 4 (1,843 – 844xK): October 11, 9, 10, 8, 12

• Originally scheduled for October 8-12.
• Despite its rescheduling, Monday's show was briefly uploaded to CBS.com by mistake on October 8.
• This week is Big Money Week; each day from Monday through Thursday, a game is played for an unusually large cash prize, as follows:
  • On Monday, 1/2 Off is played for $50,000.
  • On Tuesday, Hot Seat is played for $100,000, with the lower awards raised to $2,500, $5,000, $10,000, and $25,000.
  • On Wednesday, Plinko is played for $1,000,000, with $200,000 in the center slot and the lower values raised to $500, $1,000, and $2,500.
  • On Thursday, Hole in One is played for $100,000, with a windmill rotating in front of the hole to increase the difficulty; before putting, the contestant is given the option to play without the windmill for a reduced prize of $20,000.
• In the other five games each day, if the game is won, the contestant are awarded a bonus of the cash equivalent of anything won in the game, including cash. (In the case of Master Key, it is unclear whether merely winning the car was enough to trigger this or if it would only be triggered by the master key.)
  • Additionally, on Monday, Let 'em Roll's cash values are doubled.
• On Friday, all six games are played for cash, as follows:
  • Grand Game is played for $50,000, with the lower prizes raised accordingly.
  • Bonus Game is played for $10,000.
  • Check-Out is played for $15,000.
  • Bullseye is played for $25,000.
  • Cliff Hangers is played for $20,000.
  • Pass the Buck is played for $25,000, with the regular cash awards raised to $5,000, $10,000, and $15,000. The game is billed as being played for $50,000, but this is actually the total of $25,000 (which functions as the "car"), $15,000, and $10,000.
• On top of this, the following aspects of this week are different than usual:
  • Door #4 shows the logo, with the text "Big Money Week" at its base, against a background of gold sparkles as dollar bills rain down around it; these graphics also appear on George's display, and the sparkles and dollar signs appear on the Turntable screens, with the center row of changing to mirror George's display during the Showcase (and also for a brief period at the beginning of Act 6 on Monday). The "Big Money Week" version of the logo also appears during all commercial outros in addition to the usual spots.
  • On Thursday, the first show of the week to be broadcast, the opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we kick off Big Money Week on The Price Is Right!" This was presumably originally intended for Monday's opening before the episodes were shuffled around. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as Big Money Week continues on The Price Is Right!" (On Monday, this is altered slightly to, "You are the first four contestants as we continue Big Money Week on The Price Is Right!" This may be a consequence of the announcement being dubbed over in post-production.) On Friday, the opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we wrap up Big Money Week on The Price Is Right!"
  • Gold dollar sign statues are placed between the Big Doors.
  • The Contestants' Row displays are sparkly versions of their usual colors and have a Pricedown dollar sign at the center; when the contestants bid, the normal colors are revealed in the wake of a wave of dollar bills.
  • The portions of the Turntable wall between the displays are gold throughout the show.
  • The light strips on the Big Doors, the dollar sign statue, and most of the lights on the Turntable are green throughout the show.
  • George's calldown window and its dollar sign are green.
  • All of the cash bonuses in the Showcase Showdown are doubled; the initial dollar is worth $2,000, a green section in the bonus spin is worth $20,000, and a dollar in the bonus spin is worth $50,000.
  • The standard "money win" graphics across all the games and the Showcase Showdown are replaced by a special set of graphics in the "Big Money Week" font.
  • In Friday's Cliff Hangers, the mountain climber and his corresponding graphic are carrying a sack of money.
  • Friday's Pass the Buck utilizes the Big Doors, with its cash prizes displayed on a trip screen behind Door #2 instead of onstage.
• On Monday, Balance Game is played for a car.
• On Tuesday, the graphical Switch? logo's original background is used.
• On Wednesday, Range Game is played for a car.
• On Wednesday, after Flip Flop's button refuses to work, Drew ends up kicking the game several times to reveal the price.
• On Thursday, Hole in One's $500 flag is absent.
• On Friday, with all six games being played for cash, all six games are also fee games.
• On Friday, Bonus Game's small prize labels and prices switch to a less flashy font more akin to the original one.

Week 5 (1,844 – 845xK): October 15-19

• On Monday, 3 Strikes is refurbished; the board becomes green and resembles a baseball stadium, the bag is redesigned as a rotating baseball, and the chips are replaced with balls. Additionally, the strikes again change to red text on white (ultimately for this episode only), and the numbers no longer fade in as they light up.
• On Tuesday, with Hi Lo's prize staged in Door #2, Drew and the contestant stand in front of the Turntable instead of the Giant Price Tag before the game.
• On Thursday, Drew's son, Connor, comes through the Big Doors with him.

Week 6 (1,845 – 846xK): November 12, September 21, November 14-16

• Originally scheduled for October 22-26.
• Several times on Tuesday, Drew mentions "premiere week" and the episode being "a Friday show," and the first showcase is loosely themed around "kicking off Season 47;" these refer to the episode's out-of-order broadcast on September 21.
• Tuesday's show, which was broadcast alongside most of Week 1, uses that week's "Premiere Week" graphics during commercial outros and the other usual spots.
• On Wednesday, contestant Yolanda's come on down at the top of Act 2 was not recorded properly and had to be redone; the version seen on-air was actually shot before the first Showcase Showdown.
• On Wednesday, the lights around the Big Doors do not turn red during the second Showcase Showdown.
• On Friday, Secret "X" is played for a car.

Week 7 (1,846 – 847xK): October 29-November 2

• Wednesday is Devin's first episode.
• On Wednesday, four Barker's Beauties are present.
• Wednesday's show is themed around Halloween, with the set and the show itself taking on the guise of a haunted house and graveyard. This results in a number of changes specific to this episode:
  • Everyone in the cast wears scary costumes: Drew is a Phantom of the Opera-like ghost who appears transparent at certain points thanks to special effects; George is a werewolf; Manuela is a witch; Rachel is a mummy; Amber is a vampire; and Devin is Frankenstein.
  • The opening uses a theme from The Phantom of the Opera and the spooky version of the TPIR theme from Season 38 instead of "Walking" and the regular theme. The spooky theme also replaces the regular theme during the credits after Drew's sign-off.
  • Door #4 displays a scene of a haunted house and is adorned with purple curtains; a similar scene featuring a graveyard is shown on the Turntable screens, with the center screen also showing the Door #4 logo. This version of the logo is also used at the end of the opening, and it appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.

  • George's opening spiel is, "Here it comes! From the spooktacular Bob Barker studio at CBS in Hollywood, it's The Price Is Right!"
  • George says the last word of "Come on down!" as a howl; howls and other creepy inflections also affect much of his other announcing throughout the show.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants on this Halloween episode of The Price Is Right!"
  • The Contestants' Row displays have orange borders and show a pair of creepy eyes against a black background; when the contestants bid, the eyes disappear and are replaced by numbers in an orange, blood-like font.
  • Drew is introduced with, "And now, beware of the ghost of The Price Is Right, Drew Carey!"
  • The Barker Wall is replaced by a black starfield; this also appears as a prize backdrop several times throughout the show, including during Danger Price.
  • When Drew is introduced, he materializes from a cloud of smoke, accompanied by maniacal laughter. Drew also disappears in this manner during every commercial outro, as does the nearby Manuela after Rat Race; after pricing games, this is often followed by a burst of purple light that transitions to a shot of the contestant. Oddly, after disappearing at the end of the second Showcase Showdown, Drew then reappears, congratulating the winner as the show goes to break.
  • The floor of the Turntable is covered by "dead grass," which is actually brown carpeting.
  • George says hello to "Mummy Mai."
  • George's display shows a jack-o-lantern wearing Drew Carey glasses against a purple sky.

  • George's calldown window is orange and bright pink, and its dollar sign is purple.
  • Rat Race's name is temporarily changed to "Bat Race;" bat wings are attached to the wind-up rats, and the rat racer is costumed as a bat. Several rats and bats can also be seen climbing and hanging from the game's props.
  • The Big Wheel's split-screen separator is purple and orange, and the border of the arrow shot is purple.
  • When the Big Wheel scoreboard updates, it is struck by lightning and briefly shows the silhouette of an electrified cat.
  • The cards in Money Game are orange with a black background.
  • Bullseye has spiders crawling all over it.
  • The Showcase podiums are decorated as gravestones, using the purple logo from Door #4 with a background of stone.
  • Most of the credits are written in the same bloody font as the Contestants' Row bids.
  • Most of the names in the credits contain some sort of Halloween pun, such as "Mike RIPards" and "Devilyn Warfel." Adam Sandler is listed with a different name for each of his jobs -- "Adam Lost in Quicksandler" for director and "Adamned to Eternity Sandler" for producer. The cast is credited as "Mummy Rachel Reynolds," "Vampire Amber Lancaster," "Mannyac Arbelaez," "Frankendevin Goda," "Ghastly George Gray," and "Boo Scary;" it should be noted that "Host" was added to the credits for this episode solely to allow a joke about Drew's name.

  • Door #4 shows the Barker logo on a shield above the word "Veterans," against a field of stripes and a background of cascading stars. These graphics also appear on George's display, and a Carey version of the "Veterans" logo appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
  • Most of the lights on the set are red, white, and blue.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we honor veterans on The Price Is Right!
  • The Contestants' Row displays show rotating stars on a field of blue; when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to reveal the normal colors.
  • The borders of Contestants' Row are blue on the red and yellow displays and red on the blue and green displays.
  • The set is decorated for the holiday.
  • The Turntable screens show a mural of the American flag.
  • Everyone in the audience receives a two-night trip to Las Vegas, a portion of the sixth Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said trips.
  • Toni Trucks and Judd Lormand, the portrayers of Lisa Davis and Eric Blackburn on SEAL Team, appear to help present the second showcase.

Week 9 (1,848 – 849xK): October 22-26

• Originally scheduled for November 12-16.
• Monday is the first episode with Devin to air on CBS and serves as his formal introduction.

  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we celebrate Thanksgiving on The Price Is Right!"
  • The borders of Contestants' Row are an orange-ish yellow.
  • The Contestants' Row displays show, in order from left to right and each against a wood-paneled wall with leaves falling in the foreground, a pie topped with a whipped cream G-T asterisk; a pilgrim's hat; a pumpkin, apples, and an ear of corn; and a turkey dinner. When the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away amidst a flurry of leaves to reveal the normal colors.
  • The set is decorated for Thanksgiving.
  • The Turntable screens show leaves falling against a fall-colored background that gives way to a dark blue sky at the top. The center display also shows the logo from Door #4, as does the rest of the middle row during the Showcase.

• Cyber Monday week; only one show.
• Monday's show is themed around Cyber Monday. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
  • Door #4 shows a pile of Christmas presents, a shopping cart, and the text "Cyber Monday" (with the "o" being the logo in the form of an ornament) against a background of cubes with a mouse pointer moving across the screen, dragging the gift boxes into the cart (largely the same graphics from Season 45's Cyber Monday episode); similar graphics appear on George's display (with the logo and the cart) and the center row of Turntable screens (with the logo on the center display and the cart on the other two), while the other two rows of Turntable screens show raining gift boxes against the same background, and the "Cyber Monday" logo appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants on this special, Cyber Monday episode of The Price Is Right!"
  • The Contestants' Row displays show the text "Cyber Monday" on a computer keyboard; when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to reveal the normal colors.

Week 12 (1,851 – 852xK): December 3-4, June 24-25, December 7

• Originally scheduled for December 3-7.
• On Monday, the G-T asterisks between the Big Doors are missing until the first Showcase Showdown; the left-hand one does appear briefly during the reveal of the third Item up for Bids, but this appears to have been a reshot that was edited in after the taping.

• On Monday, three Barker's Beauties are present.
• On Tuesday, Hi Lo is played for a car.
• On Tuesday, Hi Lo largely uses its original reveal; while the prize is still described first and the counter is still positioned as though it were behind the Giant Price Tag, Drew and the contestant stand in front of the Turntable before the game, and the counter is brought out by a Barker's Beauty after the prize plug. Additionally, the prize is placed in Door #2 so as to be visible behind the counter during the game.

Week 13 (1,852 – 853xK): December 10-14

• Wednesday is Bob's 95th birthday. Drew wishes him well during the opening, and the second showcase is themed around him.

Week 14 (1,853 – 854xK): December 17-21

• This week of shows consists of Christmas episodes. The following aspects of these episodes are different than usual:
  • Most of the lights around the set are red and green.

  • The Turntable screens show the wintry background from Door #4; the center screen also shows the Barker logo on a Christmas ornament.

Additionally, the third Items up for Bids are all somehow pet-related, except on Wednesday, when instead, the "wrong price" in Cover Up is pictures of four cats and dogs in Santa hats flanking the ornament version of the TPIR logo. The guests are as follows:
  • Tuesday's guests are Justin Melnick and Dita, the portrayers of Brock Reynolds and bomb-sniffing dog Cerberus on SEAL Team; Dita is both Melnick's acting partner and his pet.
  • Wednesday's guest is Barrett Foa, the portrayer of Eric Beale on NCIS: Los Angeles.
  • Thursday's guest is Melissa Ordway, the portrayer of Abby Newman on The Young and the Restless and an occasional extra Barker's Beauty (a role she, in fact, serves for the remainder of the episode).
  • Friday's guest is Brandon McMillan, the host of CBS's Lucky Dog.
• On Monday and Thursday, four Barker's Beauties are present (including Melissa Ordway on Thursday); on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, three are present. As a result, George does not participate in Tuesday's Most Expen$ive or Thursday's Swap Meet.
• On Monday, One Wrøng Price's second price stands are introduced; as the episode was taped out of order, this change does not immediately become permanent.
• On Monday, Wayne Brady makes a guest appearance during Rat Race, his favorite pricing game.
• On Tuesday, the dollar sign in 5-digit Pick-a-Number is absent.
• On Tuesday, the strikes in 3 Strikes go back to black text on red.

• On Friday, the Plinko logos on the chips in the game's intro becomes significantly smaller.
• On Friday, the money graphics in Plinko's intro are in a different font; it remains to be seen whether this is a permanent change or simply something that was done to highlight the augmented top prize.

• New Year's week; no Tuesday show.
• Friday's show is a "Best of 2018" program, featuring some of the show's favorite moments, prizes, and games of the past year. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
  • The show begins with George narrating a montage of some of the best moments of 2018; this then transitions into the regular opening.
  • The light columns in the audience are purple.
  • The light strip around the audience is light blue.
  • Many of the G-T asterisks around the audience are covered with silver glitter; those that are not are a bluish white.
  • Door #4 shows the Barker logo on a disco ball above the text "Best of 2017," all against a purple background with fireworks going off; these graphics also appear on the Turntable walls (with the logo and text only appearing in the center row) and on George's display (without the text).
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we celebrate the best of 2018 on The Price Is Right!"
  • The set is decorated for New Year's.
  • The Turntable stairs are purple, and the lights between its monitors are light blue.
  • The borders of the Contestants' Row displays are light purple.
  • The Contestants' Row displays show the background from Door #4; when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to reveal the normal colors, accompanied by a disco ball.
  • George's podium is white.
  • In a throwback to its 35th anniversary celebration in January, Plinko is played for $175,000, with the $10,000 slot changed to $35,000, the $100 and $1,000 slots changed to $3,500, and, somewhat awkwardly, the $500 slots changed to $350; this ultimately leads to the contestant winning $350 with a playing that, on a normal show, would have been worth $500.
  • The trip screen graphics for the trip to Greece in Double Prices are a photo on Manuela on her honeymoon earlier in the year.
  • The "Best of 2018" text appears along with the Carey logo during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
  • George's calldown window is pink and purple, and its dollar sign is gold.
  • Four Barker's Beauties are present.
  • 3 Strikes is played; while this in and of itself is not noteworthy, it was likely included in the lineup because of its set's makeover in the fall.
  • In a callback to the season premiere's Emmy celebration, spinning a dollar on the Big Wheel is worth $8,000, and getting a dollar in a bonus spin is worth $80,000.
  • In a callback to the fan appreciation episode, Pick-a-Pair's prize package includes, as a bonus, dinner with Drew after the taping.
  • Timothy Chappa, the winner of the Ultimate Superfan contest, appears as a model in Range Game, which is played for the car he won.
  • Everyone in the audience receives a $100 Lyft gift card, which is presented alongside the sixth Item up for Bids, a bar set; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as Drew urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said gift cards.
  • In a callback to this season's Big Money Week, winning Switch? awards a bonus of the cash equivalent of the prize package.
  • Balloons drop on the stage during the credits.
• The money graphics in Monday's Plinko use the same font from December 21; again, as the top prize is increased on this episode, it is impossible to tell whether this is a permanent change.
• On Wednesday, the readout on Grocery Game's cash register is changed to a slimmer font.
• On Friday, in celebration of the 8,000th episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Katherine Kelly Lang and Don Diamont, the portrayers of Brooke Logan and Bill Spencer, appear to drive out the car in Lucky $even and to help present the B&B-themed second showcase.
  • Additionally, Lucky $even is turned into "Lucky Eight" for a day, with the contestant receiving an extra dollar to play the game with.

• On Wednesday, Grocery Game is played for a car.
• On Thursday, for no apparent reason, George runs the right side of Bargain Game.
• As a lead-up to CBS's broadcast of Super Bowl LIII on Sunday night, Friday's show is themed as a Super Bowl party. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
  • The show begins with a set of Super Bowl-themed The NFL on CBS graphics, which transitions to the normal opening with a dollar sign wipe. The theme from The NFL on CBS plays throughout the opening; it also supplants the TPIR theme and "Dig We Must" for the entire show, as well as "Walking" during all come on downs (although not after Items up for Bids) and the commercial outro music during the Showcase.
  • Door #4 shows the "Super Bowl LIII" logo against the backdrop of a football field; similar graphics appear on the Contestants' Row displays, the Turntable screens (with the logo on appearing in the center column), and George's display. The Contestants' Row graphics wipe away with the toss of a logo-laden football to reveal the normal colors when the contestants bid.
  • The stage in the back of the audience is carpeted with a 50-yard line, with a Rams logo propped up on its left side and a Patriots logo on its right.
  • The audience signs are replaced with "Super Bowl LIII" signs.
  • The aisles in the audience are carpeted to look like a football field.
  • George says the show is "from the Bob Barker Stadium."
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we throw the ultimate Super Bowl party on The Price Is Right!"
  • Drew's entrance is flanked by fireworks and Barker's Beauties dressed as cheerleaders (with Rachel in Patriots gear and Amber in Rams gear); as such, Drew enters already holding his microphone. Rachel and Amber maintain this attire throughout the show.
  • Long snapper Jon Dorenbos appears as a guest model during Act 3 and Act 6; he also helps to present the first showcase.
  • Rams Aaron Neary and Justin Lawler and Patriots Deatrich Wise, Jr., and Ted Karras appear remotely to help present the second showcase.
  • The second showcase includes, as a bonus, two tickets to the Super Bowl; the contestants are instructed not to include these while bidding.

Week 21 (1,860 – 861xK): February 6, 5, 4, 7, 8

• Originally scheduled for February 4-8.
• This week is Music Week, celebrating a different genre of music each day in a lead-up to CBS's broadcast of the Grammys on Sunday night. Each day, a different type of music is celebrated, with a DJ from a local radio station in the audio booth playing music for the audience during commercials; several genre-related prizes offered; and Door #4 showing a record with the logo in the center above a label for the genre itself, all against a genre appropriate backdrop (or, on Friday, a backdrop of overlapping, golden hypocycloids). These themes are generally introduced at the beginning of Act 3, after which all commercial outros use a genre-specific remix of the TPIR theme; this music is also used at the top of Act 3 and during the credits. (Friday is an exception to this; with no specific genre that day, no remix is introduced, and the regular music is used throughout the show.) The genres and DJs are as follows.
  • Monday focuses on country, with Kelli Green from KFRG in the booth.
  • Tuesday focuses on hip-hop, with Yesi Ortiz from KAMP in the booth.
  • Wednesday focuses on rock and roll, with Stryker from KROQ in the booth. (The theme is stylized as "Rock + Roll" in the episode's graphics.)
  • Thursday focuses on EDM, with Raul Campos from KCRW in the booth.
  • Friday is a more general celebration of music and the Grammy Awards, with E-Man from KPWR in the booth.
• Additionally, the following aspects of this week's shows are different than usual:
  • The audio booth has a TPIR logo on the front backed by a pattern of "lights" on a blue wall. A similar pattern with cascading logos is added behind the day's DJ once they enter the booth. (On Tuesday, the DJ and her backdrop are already present during the opening; however, they still play no role in the show until Act 3.)
  • The second showcase is themed around the day's music genre (or, in Friday's case, the awards show).
• Wednesday's show is set up slightly differently from the week's other episodes; the theme is revealed at the very top of the show, and all of its elements are present immediately. This is also partially true on Friday, although the DJ is still only introduced during Act 3.
• At the end of the Showcase on Monday through Thursday, Drew tells viewers what "tomorrow's" music genre is. Since his announcement is based on broadcast order instead of episode order, several of these are semi-incorrect:
  • On Monday, Drew says that the next day's theme is EDM, which is actually on Thursday.
  • On Tuesday, Drew says that the next day's theme is country, which is actually on Monday.
  • On Wednesday, drew says that the next day's theme is hip-hop, which is actually on Tuesday.
• On Monday, three Barker's Beauties are present; as such, George does not model during Most Expen$ive.
• On Monday, in keeping with the country music theme, 1/2 Off is temporarily renamed "Hats Off," with cowboy hats on every box and one painted onto the game's sign.
• On Wednesday, the frame around the red Contestants' Row display falls off before the second Item up for Bids; it is fixed by the end of the bidding, presumably with help from an edit.
• On Wednesday, KISS appears during Cliff Hangers to offer a prize package related to their farewell tour; they also help to present the second showcase, which is themed around the band.
• In Wednesday's Cliff Hangers, the mountain climber is dressed as a member of KISS and is holding an electric guitar; he also sings a rock and roll remix of "On the Franches Mountains."
• Wednesday's second showcase includes a set of autographed instruments used by KISS in concert; Drew instructs the contestants to regard them as run-of-the-mill musical instruments while bidding on them.
• On Wednesday, KISS's Rock and Roll All Nite plays during the credits.
• On Thursday, DJ Raul Campos can be seen setting up in the audio booth during Act 2.
• In Thursday's One Away, the Mighty Sound Effects Lady becomes the Mighty Sound Check lady for a day, sounding an air horn instead of a car horn for each number the contestant has right.
• On Friday, Hi Lo largely uses its original reveal; while the prize is still described first and the counter is still positioned as though it were behind the Giant Price Tag, Drew and the contestant stand in front of the Turntable before the game, and the counter is brought out by a Barker's Beauty after the prize plug. Additionally, the prize is placed in Door #2 so as to be visible behind the counter during the game.
• In Friday's Plinko, the "O" in the logo on the board is replaced with a record, and all the Plinko chips have records on them.
• Friday's second showcase includes, as a bonus, two tickets to the Grammy Awards and the Recording Academy's official after party; the contestants are instructed not to include these while bidding.

Week 22 (1,861 – 862xK): February 11-15

• On Monday, Balance Game is played for a car.
• On Wednesday, three Barker's Beauties are present.
• Thursday's show is themed around Valentine's Day, with teams consisting of singles in the audience paired up for a "blind date" by the Match dating app. Additionally, the following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
  • The show begins with a shot of the Barker logo on a heart, with smaller hearts cascading out from behind it, all against a blue background with a sunburst below the heart. These graphics are also shown on Door #4 throughout the episode; they also appear on the Turntable screens (with the logo only being displayed on the center monitor, or the center row during the Showcase) and George's display.
  • After the initial shot of the log, the screen transitions to Manuela and James, who explain the premise of the episode while walking through the audience. At the end, they toss to George, and the show proceeds with the normal opening.
  • "Walking" plays throughout Manuela and James's introduction; it restarts after they throw to George.
  • The audio booth and the light columns in the audience are all red, the G-T asterisks in the audience and between the Big Doors are pink, and the light strip around the audience is blue.
  • After playing their games, the onstage contestants sit at tables in the enclosed area below the audio booth, labelled "Couples Corner," where they can continue their "dates."
  • The extended version of Contestants' Row is used.
  • The borders of Contestants' Row are red.
  • The Contestants' Row displays show the text "Blind Date" against the background from Door #4; when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to reveal a pink background.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four couples as we celebrate Valentine's Day on The Price Is Right!"
  • Most of the lights on the Turntable are red, and the areas between the monitors are yellow and purple.
  • The lights on George's podium are red and pink.
  • The usual prize structure for an episode is altered, with a cash game in each half and one car game instead of the other way around. Specifically, Hot Seat is played first (unusual in and of itself); Pick-a-Pair is played for $10,000; and One Away is played for two cars of different makes and models.
  • Two small prizes games and a grocery item game are played.
  • Hot Seat is played with a loveseat to accommodate the extra contestant.
  • The regular logo, backed by floating hearts, appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
  • In Cliff Hangers, the mountain climber and his graphics are dressed as cupid and carry a bow with heart-tipped arrows.
  • The Big Wheel's split-screen separator is red.
• On Thursday, with Hot Seat as the first game, Drew enters through Door #1.

Week 23 (1,862 – 863xK): May 27-31

• Originally scheduled for February 18-22.
• This week is Dream Car Week; every day, at least one game is played for a car that would normally only appear in 3 Strikes or Golden Road, as follows:
  • On Monday, Cliff Hangers is played for a Jaguar.
  • On Tuesday, Pocket ¢hange is played for a Porsche.
  • On Wednesday, That's Too Much! is played for a Tesla.
  • On Thursday, 5 Price Tags is played for a Range Rover.
  • On Friday, 3 Strikes itself is played for a Maserati.
• Additionally, the following aspects of this week are different than usual:
  • The light columns around the audience are all red.
  • The G-T asterisks around the audience are all red, yellow, orange, and light blue.
  • The light strips around the audience, the Turntable walls, and George's podium are light blue.
  • Door #4 shows a sports car with the logo on its hood driving down a strip of highway against a red and blue background with spiraling lights; the text "Dream Car Week" appears at the base of the car.
  • Monday's opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we kick off Dream Car Week on The Price Is Right!" On the remaining shows, it ends with, "You are the first four contestants as Dream Car Week continues on The Price Is Right!"
  • The Contestants' Row displays show a sports car of the appropriate color; when the contestants bid, the cars drive off, with their exhaust revealing the bids. Additionally, the displays' borders are the same color as their screen instead of all four being green.
  • Except on Monday, in place of Drew's standard entrance, he drives through Door #2 in the day's dream car. On Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, the end of the opening transitions to a trip screen next to Door #2 that shows Door #4's normal graphics; the graphical logo then flies away from this screen as the camera pans over to Drew. On Wednesday, the trip screen shows the "Dream Car Week" graphics; it also shows them on Tuesday during shots later in the opening. On Monday, Drew enters normally, and the dream car is instead driven out after he greets the audience.
  • Except on Monday, monitor columns showing the "Dream Car Week" graphics sit behind Door #2 during Drew's entrance instead of the Barker Wall; these columns do also eventually appear on Monday when the dream car is driven out.
  • The Turntable screens show the spiral-less red and blue background from Door #4, with the "Dream Car Week" text against it in the center row; the center row's graphics also appear on George's display.
  • The TPIR logo, with the "Dream Car Week" logo at its base and revealed by a car like the ones on Contestants' Row, is shown during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
  • In the Showcase Showdown, the $25,000 prize for getting a dollar in a bonus spin is replaced with a Mercedes; the car sits onstage alongside the Big Wheel.
• On Monday, Jay Leno, at this point in his career the host of Jay Leno's Garage, drives out in the day's dream car during the opening (hence why Drew does not enter in it); Jay also reads the car plugs for the pricing games, serves as a extra Barker's Beauty for the day, and helps to present the second showcase.
• On Monday, as noted above, Cliff Hangers is played for a car.
• On Tuesday through Friday, three Barker's Beauties are present.
• Thursday is a three-car day.
• On Thursday, Range Game is played for a car.
• On Thursday, the "Dream Car Week" graphics are shown on the red block at the base of the 5 Price Tags podium.
• On Friday, all six games, including Bargain Game, Plinko, Pick-a-Number, and Vend-O-Price, are played for cars; Bargain Game is played for two cars, and Plinko has a "Car" slot in the center, which is replaced by the normal $10,000 slot on subsequent drops once it is hit.
• On Friday, Lucky $even is played perfectly.
• In Friday's Plinko, the car is placed behind Door #3, flanked by the first two small prize podiums; they are replaced by the third and fourth podiums during the descriptions of the second and third items, respectively.

Week 24 (1,863 – 864xK): February 19-21, 18, 22

• Originally scheduled for February 25-March 1.
• Originally rescheduled for February 18-22.

Week 25 (1,864 – 865xK): February 25-26, June 28, February 28-March 1

• Originally scheduled for March 4-8.
• Originally rescheduled for February 25-March 1.

Week 26 (1,865 – 866xK): March 4-8

• Originally scheduled for March 11-15.

• On Tuesday, Drew points out contestant Dixie's husband, Dennis, who was named after Dennis James and has on a Dennis James t-shirt.

Week 27 (1,866 – 867xK): April 22-26

• Originally scheduled for March 18-22.
• Originally rescheduled for March 11-15.
• This week of shows should have been created with only a Monday show, as opposed to Week 26 or Week 28; someone on the staff appears to have mistakenly thought the March Madness basketball tournament would start on March 14, which originally fell during Week 26, as opposed to March 21, which originally fell during this week. The error was not caught until the end of January, by which time three shows for this week and next Monday's show had already been taped and it was far too late to change the production numbers.
• This week of shows is Kids Week. Every day, the contestants are children of a different age group, as follows:
  • On Monday, one or more preschoolers play alongside one of their parents. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:

    • Rachel's daughter, Ruby, models alongside her mother.
    • Everyone in the audience receives a collection of Play-Doh products, which is presented alongside the third Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George instructs viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said collections. Drew instructs the contestants not to include this while bidding, as it is not actually part of the Item up for Bids.
  • On Tuesday, one or more elementary schoolers play alongside one of their parents; the following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
    • The age group is represented on the video screens by a graphic of the word "Elementary" stitched onto a sheet of yellow cloth.
    • The opening ends with, "You are the first 10 contestants as we continue Kids Week on The Price Is Right!"
    • The extended version of Contestants' Row is used.
    • Everyone in the audience receives a collection of Hasbro games, which is presented alongside the fifth Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George instructs viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said collections. Drew instructs the contestants not to include this while bidding, as it is not actually part of the Item up for Bids.
  • On Wednesday, middle schoolers play by themselves; they are joined by a parent during the Showcase. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
    • The age group is represented on the video screens by a graphic of the words "Middle School" backed by pulsing stars.
    • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as Kids Week continues on The Price Is Right!"
    • Due to the contestants' ages, no car games are played; the only cars offered appear in the Showcase, once the contestants have been joined by a parent.
    • Everyone in the audience receives a scooter, a portion of the sixth Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George instructs viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said scooters.
  • On Thursday, high schoolers play by themselves. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
    • The age group is represented by the text "High School" in front of a row of red lockers; on Door #4, the lockers run behind the logo.
    • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as Kids Week continues on The Price Is Right!"
    • The borders of the Contestants' Row displays are the same colors as their screens.
    • Everyone in the audience receives a $100 gift card for phone accessories, which is presented alongside the fifth Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said gift cards.
  • On Friday, everyone in the audience is a college student. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
    • The age group is represented by the text "College," with the C wearing a mortarboard.
    • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as Kids Week continues on The Price Is Right!"
    • The borders of the Contestants' Row displays are the same colors as their screens.
    • Everyone in the audience receives a $100 gift card from Roomify.com, which is presented alongside the fourth Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said gift cards.
• Additionally, the following aspects of this week are different than usual:
  • The set is decorated for the day's age group.
  • Door #4 shows the text "Kid$ Week" against a blue version of the logo backdrop, beneath which is the graphic for the day's age group; the blue background, clearly inspired by the Turntable wall, has sliding rows of Pricedown dollar signs and G-T asterisks. This background is also shown on the Turntable screens and George's display, with the Turntable's center screen showing the day's age group and the rest of the screens (or the rest of the center row on Monday) and George's display showing the "Kid$ Week" logo. (During the Showcase, on Monday, the entire center row on the Turntable displays the age group during the Showcase, while on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, all nine screens show the "Kid$ Week" logo.)
  • The Contestants' Row displays show a variation of Door #4's background with colored dollar signs and asterisks (and, on Friday, a pennant with "TPIR" on it); when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to reveal the normal colors.
  • Most of the prizes on each show are age-appropriate.
  • The "Kid$ Week" logos appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
• On Wednesday, three Barker's Beauties are present.
• On Wednesday, two small prize games and a grocery item game are played.
• On Wednesday, everyone in the audience receives a scooter, a portion of the sixth Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George instructs viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said scooters.
• On Thursday and Friday, in reflection of CBS's sale of Television City, the second line of the opening is changed to, "From the famous Bob Barker Studio in Hollywood!" As this week's shows were taped out of order, this change does not immediately become permanent.

Week 28 (1,867 – 868xK): March 11

• Originally scheduled for March 25.
• Originally rescheduled for March 11, which was ultimately its airdate.
• Originally rerescheduled for March 18.
• Only one show, on Monday.
• This week was originally created with five shows; it appears to have swapped lengths with Week 26 after Week 23 was moved to May.
• On Monday, at the top of the show, Drew acknowledges George's birthday, with falls on March 11, the day the episode was broadcast on CBS. This leads to a "Happy Birthday, George!" graphic appearing on George's display and Door #4. A birthday cake is also brought out for George during Drew's sign-off.

Week 29 (1,868 – 869xK): March 15, 26-29

Week 30 (1,869 – 870xK): April 1-3, 5, 4

• Originally scheduled for April 8-12.
• Originally rescheduled for April 1-5.
• Monday's show, which was taped out of order, comes "From the famous Bob Barker Studio in Hollywood."
• With the schedule shuffling caused by moving Dream Car Week to May, Monday's show functions as the April Fool's Day episode. Throughout the show, Drew intentionally misidentifies his castmates, variously referring to James, Rachel, and George as Manuela, Amber, Devin, and other people who don't even exist. (Rachel also addresses Drew as Devin at one point, and George later calls him Bob.) Additionally, the Showcase begins with an "unreal" package of prizes that literally don't exist -- a set of mindreading electronics called uThink and BrainPad that let you surf the internet with just your thoughts, a MicroPodUlator cooking system with a year's supply of meal pods, and a 67-hour trip around the world that flies from Los Angeles to Los Angeles without ever landing. (The actual first showcase is a trip to Paris and a car, and the second is a real Around the World showcase.)
• Friday's second showcase includes, as a bonus, two tickets to the ACM Awards, which air on CBS on April 7, the Sunday after the episode's broadcast date. The contestants are instructed not to include these while bidding.

Week 31 (1,870 – 871xK): April 8-12

• Originally scheduled for April 15-19.
• Tuesday's second contestant, Paul Williams, shares his name with Doug Davidson's character on The Young and the Restless.
• On Tuesday, Hi Lo largely uses its original reveal; while the prize is still described first and the counter is still positioned as though it were behind the Giant Price Tag, Drew and the contestant stand in front of the Turntable before the game, and the counter is brought out by a Barker's Beauty after the prize plug. Additionally, the prize is placed in Door #2 so as to be visible behind the counter during the game.

Week 32 (1,871 – 872xK): April 15-19

• Originally scheduled for April 22-26.
• On Tuesday, the second line of the opening permanently changes to, "From the famous Bob Barker Studio in Hollywood!"
• On Tuesday, everyone in the audience receives a pair of earbuds from MorningSave.com, a portion of the prize package in Bullseye.
• On Wednesday, Drew mentions that it's "the Wednesday before Easter" while discussing Cover Up's Easter basket-themed "wrong price;" this reflects the airing of the episode a week early as a result of Dream Car Week being moved to the end of May.
• On Wednesday, the "$10,000" graphic is not shown when Grand Game is won.
• On Thursday, with only male Barker's Beauties present, Drew enters with his microphone already in hand.

• Originally scheduled for April 29-May 3.
• Originally rescheduled for April 22-26.
• Originally rerescheduled for March 11-14, 25
• On Thursday, Secret "X" is played for a car.
• Friday's show is themed as a baby shower, with expectant parents playing as teams. Additionally, the following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
  • Door #4 shows the logo with a mobile hanging from it and with the text "Baby Shower" at its base, all against a pink and blue background with pulsating, white bubbles. The mobile has four shapes, each with a face, hanging from it -- two stars (one with a red face and one with a blue face), a moon, and a cloud.
  • The light columns around the audience are pink and light blue.
  • The G-T asterisks around the audience are all pastel shades.

  • Contestants' Row displays each show one of the four shapes hanging from Door #4's mobile in front of Door #4's background (although both stars are the red-faced one); when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to reveal the normal colors.
  • The set is decorated for the special.
  • The Turntable screens show the background from Door #4. The center screen also shows the "Baby Shower" text, and the other center-row screens each have a star from the mobile (again, the red-faced one both times); these are replaced by the "Baby Shower" text during the Showcase. The gaps between the screens are pink and light blue.
  • George's podium is various shades of pink, and its display shows the mobile's moon against the background from Door #4.
  • In Cliff Hangers, the mountain climber is dressed in a onesie.
  • The logo, along with the "Baby Shower" text, appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
  • At the start of Act 3, Manuela announces that she is pregnant; Drew then surprises her with a message from her husband on Door #4.
  • Everyone in the audience receives a stroller, a portion of the third Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said strollers.
  • The Big Wheel's split-screen separator is blue and pink.
• On Friday, three Barker's Beauties are present.

Week 34 (1,873 – 874xK): May 2, April 30, May 1, April 29, May 3

• Originally rescheduled for April 29-May 3.
• On Monday, Hi Lo is played for a car.
• On Thursday, a tribute to Kristoff St. John, the longtime portrayer of Neil Winters on The Young and the Restless who had recently killed himself, is inserted into the show just before the TV broadcast cuts away to the split-screened credits; the music and picture fade out, with the latter replaced by a picture of St. John and the text, "In Loving Memory Of Our Dear Friend, Kristoff St. John -- 1966-2019." The Young and the Restless itself also aired a special episode focused on St. John on April 29, the day this show was broadcast.

Week 35 (1,874 – 875xK): May 6-10

• Originally scheduled for May 13-17.
• On Tuesday, contestant Debbie has to leave the studio due to an unspecified emergency after playing her pricing game; her husband Paul acts as her proxy during the Showcase Showdown and the Showcase.
• With the schedule shuffling caused by moving Dream Car Week to the end of May, Friday's show functions as the Mother's Day episode. On this show, mothers play alongside one or more of their adult children. Additionally, the following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
  • The light columns around the audience are dark green.
  • The G-T asterisks around the audience are colored like spring flowers.
  • The "light strips" on the light border are pink.
  • Door #4 shows a scene of flowers climbing a wall; its logo's left and right backgrounds are purple and magenta, respectively, and it has the text "Happy Mother's Day!" at its base. This version of the logo, minus the extra text, is also used at the end of the opening and in Mother's Day graphics throughout the show; the regular logo, with the extra text, appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
  • The extended version of Contestants' Row is used.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first 10 contestants as we celebrate Mother's Day on The Price Is Right!" The eighth contestants are also told, "You're the next contestants on a special Mother's Day episode of The Price Is Right!"
  • The Contestants' Row displays show a scaled-down version of the graphics on Door #4; when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to reveal the normal colors.
  • The set is decorated for the special.
  • The screens on the Turntable and George's display show the graphics from Door #4; George's display and the center Turntable screen also show the logo, and the rest of the Turntable's center row shows the "Happy Mother's Day!" text.
  • The lights between the Turntable screens and on the spinning panel are purple throughout the show.
  • George's mother is with him during the opening. When he says his traditional hello to her after Drew greets him, his display briefly changes to say, "Hi Mama Mai!" (Oddly, the flower graphics surrounding the text change to a different layout when this happens.) Mama Mai also helps George call down the sixth and ninth contestants, and the second showcase is themed around her.
  • George's calldown window is purple and pink, and its dollar sign is purple.
  • The Big Wheel's split-screen separator is pink.
• Friday's show, which was taped out of order, again comes "From the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood."
• On Friday, three Barker's Beauties are present.
• On Friday, everyone in the audience receives a Helen Ficalora necklace, a portion of the fourth Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said necklaces.

Week 41 (1,880 – 881xK): December 28, July 4

• Logically scheduled for July 1 & 4.
• Season finale week; only two shows, on Monday and Thursday.
• The season finale was originally scheduled as a Wednesday show; this appears to have simply been a mistake.
• Monday's show is a salute to first responders; everyone in the audience is somehow involved in the police force, 911, or fire or medical services. Additionally, the following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
  • Door #4 show the words "First Responders" against a yellow version of the logo's backdrop, with a background that is blue on the left and red on the right and mimics the flashing of ambulance or police lights; seals of various law enforcement and medical services appear as parts of the text.
  • The light strip around the audience is blue.
  • The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we salute first responders on The Price Is Right!"
  • The Contestants' Row displays show a seal representing their contestant's area of service against the background from Door #4; when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to reveal the normal colors. Said emblems are also displayed on the Showcase podiums in place of the TPIR logos.
  • Monitor columns showing the same graphics as Door #4 on their center screens and an inversion of its background on their upper and lower screens are placed between the Big Doors.
  • The Turntable stairs, from top to bottom, are white, red, and blue.
  • The Turntable screens show the background from Door #4; the middle row shows the logo from it, as well. The lights between the monitors are gray.

• On Monday, everyone in the audience receives a watch, a portion of the sixth Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said watches.
• On Monday, contestant Regina is a police officer who is revealed to have once written Drew a traffic ticket for running a stop sign; coincidentally, she ends up playing Danger Price.
• On Monday, after the Showcase, Drew plugs episode #8561K, the "Best of 2018" show, which he says will air "next Monday;" this appears to have been edited into the program and refers to its drastically out-of-order broadcast on December 28.
