  • Monday's show was pre-empted in most of the country due to a mass shooting of a country music concert in Las Vegas. Against normal precedent, however, the episode did air on the West Coast that day. CBS did not appear to be fully aware of this; while the episode was rerun on October 23, CBS appeared to treat it 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. The TPIR Episode Guide and this wiki treat the episode as if it aired on October 2nd for the sake of clarity.

    • 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 pink-less version of the background from Door #4; George's podium also shows this background, but with the logo from Door #4.

    • Plinko is played for $100,000, with a $20,000 slot in the center; additionally, the values of the lower slots are raised to $500, $1,000, and $2,500.
    • George's call-down window and its dollar sign are pink.
    • Everyone in the audience receives a pair of Hollywood Sensation earrings, 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 a pair of said earrings.

  • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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, he announces, "I'm Dr. Trombones, and I'm here to make sure nobody wins today! That's right! And no one can stop me!" He 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 prizes. They are... The Prize League!" As this announcement is made, the Race Game Curtain raises to reveal George and all four models 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:

    • Because of the structure of the opening, Drew enters with his microphone already in hand.

    • Punch a Bunch's $25,000 bill has a picture of Captain Giveaway (with the eye patch on the wrong eye).

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


Week 8 (1,807 – 808xK): November 6-10

    • 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.

    • 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).

  • 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.
