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.

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 dedicated 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 $1 for each of the 6,618 daytime shows that Fingers was on the staff during; this count excludes Wednesday's show, which was not taped until 2011, but includes next Tuesday's, which was taped immediately before this one.
On Friday, with only two Barker's Beauties present, George helps out by holding the third price tag in Most Expen$ive.
On Friday, Pauley Perrette, portrayer of Abby Sciuto on NCIS, appears to help present a People's Choice Awards-themed showcase; Perrette presented an award at the ceremony, which aired on CBS the same day this episode was broadcast.

On Monday, Drew's fiancee's son, Connor, enters with Drew and remains onstage through the end of the second game.
On Monday, Paula Deen appears to help present Bullseye and the Showcase, which offer a trip to her restaurant and prizes from her line of furniture.
On Monday, during the last commercial, everyone in the audience receives a copy of Paula Deen's cookbook, The Deen Family Cookbook, as well as $40 worth of Smithfield's coupons; this also leads into the day's PriceIsRight.com plug, as Drew instructs viewers to go to the website for a chance to win said items.
Tuesday show is the final episode produced by Fingers, and the only show this week for which she was on the staff.
On Tuesday, the decimal points are missing from the price displays for Pass the Buck.
On Tuesday, the Showcase winner's friends manage to knock down the Top Winner's podium when they storm the Turntable.

On Friday, the season number begins appearing in the top-center spot on the Money Game board again.

Week 22 (1,543 – 544xK): February 14, August 31, February 16-18

Originally scheduled for February 14-18.
Monday show is a themed-episode for Valentine's Day with couples playing instead of individual contestants.
On Monday, the light border is red and has hearts cascading down it.
On Monday, Door #4 displays hearts cascading across a pink background, this pattern is also used for the second transition during the consolation prize plugs, and a similar pattern is shown on Contestants' Row instead of the usual colors, with the graphics fading into the background somewhat when the bids appear.
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.
On Monday, the last digit from the sign in Pay the Rent's intro is missing, causing it to read "$100,00."

On Monday, Steve White's call down window and its accompanying dollar sign are red.
On Monday, the Big Wheel split-screen separator is pink.

On Monday, the PriceIsRight.com graphic is red.

Week 23 (1,544 – 545xK): February 21-23, 10, 25

Thursday show is to be the last episode announced by Steve White; George becomes the permanent announcer on Friday.
On Monday, in an unusual move, two small prize games and no grocery item games are played.
On Thursday, new, dark green decimal points are installed on Pass the Buck.
On Thursday, no Goodson-Todman asterisks are present behind the first set of grocery items for Pass the Buck. 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 the 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, George's call down 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.

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 vague 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 seemingly 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 opening 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 opening 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 half-way 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 static 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, 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 revealed, 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, Constantine Maroulis, the star of the musical Rock of Ages, appears to help present a showcase centered around his show.

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 the form 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 Monday, Flip Flop's button is moved to the side of the board, on the diagonal portion near the word "Flip."

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, HGTV personality Jamie Durie appears to help present the outdoor design-themed second showcase.
On Tuesday, in an unusual move, the price of one of the prizes in the second showcase is intentionally revealed in the script.

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.
