That must have been the highest piggy bank amount won in the game's history. It was also three cents shy of going the maximum amount.

[superballfan]

What a surprise to see Range Game, thinking it would be Lucky Seven. Overall today`s show was fun. Three wins on a all car day, with the exception of the cash game. Can`t wait to see what`s on tap for Tuesday.

[Priceisrightsuperfan93]

Felt like banging my head against the wall when the lady thought a blanket costs 100 on half off.

[ooboh]

- For some reason, I knew 6 had to be the missing number in Any Number.
- also, I think David might have known the DSW trick, given that the last three numbers of his bid was 251. It’s a shame he missed winning both showcases by $15.

Furthermore, and this is just an observation I made, but I theorize that on the first taping session of a special week like “Dream Car Week”, the wheel is kind of “greased up” or “slippery”, and then as more people spin the wheel, the wheel kind of “tightens.” Am I onto something here?

[LiteBulb88]

* The kerning of the $19,x00 labels was off in Range Game, almost like they were going to play Lucky $even and at the very last minute had to throw Range Game in as a replacement. Probably only bothered me.

* 1/2 Off: Had Irene gotten all three SPs right, it would have been a choice of $10,000 or a car, which really wouldn't have had a lot of drama (most people would be quite happy with either choice!) I'm not sure how they could have handled it differently, though, except to make it so one box contained $10,000 AND the car and the other 15 were empty.

* Any Number on Friday for two cars and then Any Number today for a Maserati? They really need to plan the pricing game calendar better than that.

* Showcases: Great bid by David! I wonder if he's a member or at least a lurker of this site, given his -251 ending.

[TinoStar11]

Today's show set a record: Most non-car games in one show with 5 ( old record was 4 )
Any Number was also play in back to back aired new shows. I don't recall it ever happening before ( someone can correct me )

[Double_R]

Regrettably, I too thought there was another 8 in the ARP of the Maserati...

[Torgo]

Today's show set a record: Most non-car games in one show with 5 ( old record was 4 )

Do you just have a giant pile of statistics ready to go, chomping at the bit to get broken?

[Plinkoman]

Ahhh, Dream Car Week. Such fond memories! Good show to start off the week and nice to see the classic Any Number getting played for a dream car!

Any Number was also play in back to back aired new shows. I don't recall it ever happening before ( someone can correct me )

Well it happened on Sept. 6 and 7, 1972!

(I'll show myself out now.)

My thought exactly.

This was the one i knew off my head , lol. I've always like giving those random facts and stats that the casual fan might not ever know or noticed.

[tshaffer03]

Was this a historic moment?
Range Game - is that the first time the game has been in a different location on stage?

[JayC]

Range Game first was certainly a surprised, looked like it would be Lucky $even for sure.

Playing 1/2 Off with both the $10,000 and a car up for grabs in two different boxes was odd. I thought they should've introduced the car as the main prize first and then said there was still a box with the $10,000 as always so the car didn't just feel thrown in. Having the car and the cash boxes did eliminate the issue of a contestant getting all three sets of SPs correct but still not winning. Brings up a what if- What if there were two $10,000 boxes instead of just one, or one box with the $10,000 and one with something smaller like $5,000? Or is the $1,000 for getting all three sets correct enough of a consolation for contestants that get all three sets correct but still lose?

Very tough One Right Price with only barely over a $1,000 difference between the two car prices.

I had a feeling the 4th number in the Maserati was the 6, even if it's very rare for the piggy bank to be $9.8x.

Excellent bid by David in the Showcase, just $15 off of a DSW!

[Flerbert419]

Today's show set a record: Most non-car games in one show with 5 ( old record was 4 )

Not quite - the all Plinko show in 2013 had 6.
