[JarodJGames]

At least we got to see Magic Number in some form again even if it was only a picture of an early playing as part of the Cover Up theme. I really do like seeing Card Game get won when people don't stop too early or the car is somewhat cheap like today.

[GameShowKid]

A win in Card Game! Very nice; I’m glad the contestant had a $3000 range.

I miss Buy or Sell, and interesting to see how Pick A Number and Magic # haven’t changed over the years. And wow, what a “near wipeout” loss in Cover Up.

I was under by just 46 cents in Check Out. Yay! 😊

I've been noticing that they've been using quite a few higher priced cars lately! Yesterday, they had a $29,000+ car in Pocket Change, and naturally the 9 was picked last! As for Magic #, all that I've really seen changed over the years was a bolder font on the price displays! I have a feeling that they'll skip to 1994 next in Cover Up with graphics for Joker, Side By Side, and Barker's Markers (a.k.a Make Your Mark)!

Seeing as Cover Up itself premiered in 1993, I imagine they would have a game with designs devoted strictly to Cover Up.

[ThatDonGuy]

How many times has Punch-A-Bunch been played since the last time somebody punched a $10,000 or higher ("big money" versions excluded)?

Also, I noticed that, over the closing credits, they mentioned an April Fools episode on Friday; I also noticed in my online TV listings that the Thursday listing doesn't mention a date in the title, the way the other ones do, so I am guessing that the Grammy episode that was supposed to air on the originally scheduled date (Monday 1/31 - itself moved from Sunday 1/30 when the NFL added a week to its schedule) will air on Thursday.

There were a few big wins towards the end of last season, including a $25,000 win. According to http://tpirstats.com/Season49/Pricing/Punch.htm, the last "big win" was June 29, 2021, which was $10,000. The $25,000 win was three episodes prior, on June 24.

[SteveGavazzi]

There was a really strange edit during Punch a Bunch on this show...when Drew was tossing to the fourth item, they were stitching together two different images on the left and right sides of the screen, and it made Door #1 look like something was wrong with the fabric of reality.  The second and third panels looked like one, long panel that magically changed colors halfway across.

Roland, you do not need to end every freaking sentence with an exclamation point.  Use periods.

It's just a habit, okay? (Sheesh!)

[SteveGavazzi]

It's just a habit, okay?

No.  It's annoying and stupid.  Break it.

(Sheesh!)

Really smart way to talk to a site admin, dude.

[Roland]

No.  It's annoying and stupid.  Break it.

Really smart way to talk to a site admin, dude.

Really smart way to talk to ME, DUDE! I think I'd rather break YOU!

Take a time out! - Chelsea!
