- At the end of Monday's season premiere as the end credits are rolling, the entire "Price" staff & crew appear on stage to celebrate.
- Beginning on Wednesday, certain games that normally block Bob's entrance can be slotted first (in this rare instance, Hole in One is played first).

- Also on Thursday, a gray "halo" effect is used for the "Price is Right Train Depot" showcase (in the same fashion as the Time Capsule showcases). Because of this, the set is barely seen and the three caboose prizes are shown up close (to fit into the "halo" effect). It's remains unknown if this "halo" effect was used in past or future Train Depot showcases from this time period but it's highly unlikely.
