Season 47 (2018-2019)[]
Pricing game calendar for Season 47, hosted by Scorpz.
Week 1 (1,840 – 841xK): September 17-20, November 13
- Originally scheduled for September 17-21.
- Monday's show is a celebration of Price's Emmy for Best Game Show. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
- Everyone, including the audience, wears formal attire.
- The aisles in the audience have red carpets.
- Door #4 shows the logo, with an Emmy in place of the dollar sign, against a shimmering, gold and blue background. A version of this background also appears on the Turntable screens (accompanied by the Emmy statue in the center row), the Contestants' Row displays, and George's display (along with the Emmy version of the logo). The graphics on Contestants' Row wipe away to reveal the normal colors when the contestants bid.
- The light strip and G-T asterisks in the audience, the lights on the Turntable walls, the G-T asterisks between the Big Doors, and the borders of the Contestants' Row displays are all gold.
- The light columns around the audience are all dark blue.
- The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we celebrate winning any Emmy and the start of Season 47 of The Price Is Right!"
- George and all of the Barker's Beauties come through Door #2 with Drew at the end of the opening; George introduces them as "your host, Drew Carey, and the cast of The Price Is Right!" Manuela enters with Drew's microphone, and Rachel enters with the show's Emmy.
- A red carpet with velvet ropes is placed in front of Door #2 for the cast's entrance.
- The cast's entrance is backed by spotlights and Hollywood sign prize backdrops instead of the Barker Wall.
- The G-T asterisks in front of Contestants' Row are a glittery gold.
- Everyone who gets onstage receives, as a bonus, a $1,500+ package of luxury items, including a trip to Palm Springs; this package is described before the first game.
- George's calldown window, instead of looking like the Season 42-44 light border, appears smooth with the background from Door #4 cascading across its edges; additionally, its dollar sign is dark blue.
- In honor of the show's eight total Emmy awards (which are displayed in front of Door #3 during the Showcase Showdowns), getting a dollar on the Big Wheel is worth $8,000, and getting a dollar in a bonus spin is worth $80,000.
- Everyone in the audience receives a collection of E-RaOrganics skincare products, a portion of the prize package from Cliff Hangers; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win said collection.
- In Cliff Hangers, the mountain climber and his corresponding graphic are dressed in formal wear and are holding an Emmy.
- The prices of the showcase are in gold Emmy envelopes.
- On Monday, the raised stage in the back of the audience is redone with a shiny, blue floor with gold borders and a silver dollar sign.
- On Monday, Double Prices is played at Door #3.
- On Monday, Double Prices is played for a car.
- On Monday, the second Reveal is introduced; the new version is designed to look like the displays on George's podium and the Turntable walls.
- On this week's shows, the logo, with the words "Premiere Week" at its base, appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots (although this was removed from Friday's show, as it was aired several weeks late).
- On Monday, with all four Barker's Beauties present, George does not model during Most Expen$ive.
- Monday's first showcase includes, as a bonus, tickets to and a limo ride to and from the 2019 Daytime Emmy Awards. The contestants are instructed not to include this while bidding.
- Beginning on Monday, in reflection of the company's name change, George signs off from the show as "a Fremantle production." The FremantleMedia logos during and after the credits are also changed to Fremantle logos at this time.
- On Tuesday, the borders of Contestants' Row become a significantly brighter shade of green.
- On Wednesday, steel rims are added around the price choices in Secret "X".
- On Thursday, the background of the graphical Switch? logo becomes a purple field with hypocycloid diamonds.
Week 2 (1,841 – 842xK): September 24-26, November 28, September 28
- Originally scheduled for September 24-28.
- On Monday, which was taped before Week 1, Switch?'s graphical logo still has the diamond/asterisk background.
- On Monday, That's Too Much! is played for a $33,000 Dodge Challenger.
- On Wednesday, only one Barker's Beauty, Rachel, is present for the entire show. This leads to George taking a more active role in the proceedings, including running the small prizes in Punch a Bunch and acting in the second showcase.
- Wednesday is a celebration of Punch a Bunch's 40th birthday. (The game actually debuted on September 27, 1978's episode, not September 26's; however, it fell in a stretch of 12 shows that were all broadcast a day early.) The following special things are done for this episode:
- Punch a Bunch is played for $40,000, with one $40,000 slip, four $10,000, 15 $5,000, 15 $2,500, 10 $1,000, and five $500. Additionally, Drew's photo on the $40,000 bill is wearing a party hat.
- The Punchboard is placed with Check-Out's prize package, a set of appliances described as a "party package."
- The second showcase is themed around the game; most notably, the first prize, $4,000 in cash, is revealed on a slip that Rachel punches out of the Punchboard, which is placed between Door #1 and Door #2 and remains onstage during the credits.
Week 3 (1,842 – 843xK): October 1-5
- Monday's show is themed around Breast Cancer Awareness Month; everyone in the audience either has, has survived, or has somehow been affected by breast cancer. Additionally, the following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
- 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 support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month on The Price Is Right!"
- The Turntable walls and the Contestants' Row displays show pink ribbons against a pinkless version of the background from Door #4; George's podium also shows this background, but with the logo from Door #4. When the contestants bid, the graphics on Contestants' Row wipe away to reveal the normal colors.
- Everyone in the audience receives a Vera Bradley weekender bag, a portion of the second 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 one of said bags.
- George's calldown window and its dollar sign are pink.
- The Big Wheel's split-screen separator and arrow graphic are both pink.
- All of the money win graphics are pink.
- The G-T asterisks on the Showcase podiums are pink.
- On Monday, Push Over is played for a car.
- On Tuesday, in honor of Cover Up being 25 years old, its "wrong price" is a series of birthday cakes, with "25" topping the middle one.
- On Tuesday, the center bar of Pathfinder's price display, normally only visible during Add 'em Up, is seen near the end of the game thanks to an unusual camera angle.
- On Wednesday, the small prize price holders in 5 Price Tags are redone with a less rigid material; the holders are also moved slightly downward so as not to cover the white borders on the podiums and are repainted to be entirely blue.
- On Thursday, contestant Christine tells Drew that she had previously appeared on the show on February 13, 2002; as they discuss this, clips are played of her winning Temptation on that episode. Coincidentally, the conversation takes place as she plays Now....or Then with a "Then" date of February 2002.
- On Friday, before playing 2 for the Price of 1, contestant Emma tells Drew that her mother, who is in the audience, had been a contestant four years earlier; while going to commercial after the game, clips are shown of her mother coming out of Contestants' Row and winning Coming or Going.
- On Friday, Double Prices is essentially set up as though it were Coming or Going, with prices of $9,565 and $5,659. Given that this took place immediately after the above note about the 2 for the Price of 1 contestant's mother, it seems likely that Coming or Going was simply replaced with Double Prices so as to avoid showing it on-air two acts in a row.
Week 4 (1,843 – 844xK): October 11, 9, 10, 8, 12
- Originally scheduled for October 8-12.
- Despite its rescheduling, Monday's show was briefly uploaded to CBS.com by mistake on October 8.
- This week is Big Money Week; each day from Monday through Thursday, a game is played for an unusually large cash prize, as follows:
- On Monday, 1/2 Off is played for $50,000.
- On Tuesday, Hot Seat is played for $100,000, with the lower awards raised to $2,500, $5,000, $10,000, and $25,000.
- On Wednesday, Plinko is played for $1,000,000, with $200,000 in the center slot and the lower values raised to $500, $1,000, and $2,500.
- On Thursday, Hole in One is played for $100,000, with a windmill rotating in front of the hole to increase the difficulty; before putting, the contestant is given the option to play without the windmill for a reduced prize of $20,000.
- In the other five games each day, if the game is won, the contestant are awarded a bonus of the cash equivalent of anything won in the game, including cash. (In the case of Master Key, it is unclear whether merely winning the car was enough to trigger this or if it would only be triggered by the master key.)
- Additionally, on Monday, Let 'em Roll's cash values are doubled.
- On Friday, all six games are played for cash, as follows:
- Grand Game is played for $50,000, with the lower prizes raised accordingly.
- Bonus Game is played for $10,000.
- Check-Out is played for $15,000.
- Bullseye is played for $25,000.
- Cliff Hangers is played for $20,000.
- Pass the Buck is played for $25,000, with the regular cash awards raised to $5,000, $10,000, and $15,000. The game is billed as being played for $50,000, but this is actually the total of $25,000 (which functions as the "car"), $15,000, and $10,000.
- On top of this, the following aspects of this week are different than usual:
- Door #4 shows the logo, with the text "Big Money Week" at its base, against a background of gold sparkles as dollar bills rain down around it; these graphics also appear on George's display, and the sparkles and dollar signs appear on the Turntable screens, with the center row of screens changing to mirror George's display during the Showcase (and also for a brief period at the beginning of Act 6 on Monday). The "Big Money Week" version of the logo also appears during all commercial outros in addition to the usual spots.
- On Thursday, the first show of the week to be broadcast, the opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we kick off Big Money Week on The Price Is Right!" This was presumably originally intended for Monday's opening before the episodes were shuffled around. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as Big Money Week continues on The Price Is Right!" (On Monday, this is altered slightly to, "You are the first four contestants as we continue Big Money Week on The Price Is Right!" This may be a consequence of the announcement being dubbed over in post-production.) On Friday, the opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we wrap up Big Money Week on The Price Is Right!"
- Gold dollar sign statues are placed between the Big Doors.
- The Contestants' Row displays are sparkly versions of their usual colors and have a Pricedown dollar sign at the center; when the contestants bid, the normal colors are revealed in the wake of a wave of dollar bills.
- The portions of the Turntable wall between the displays are gold throughout the show.
- The light strips on the Big Doors, the dollar sign statue, and most of the lights on the Turntable are green throughout the show.
- George's calldown window and its dollar sign are green.
- All of the cash bonuses in the Showcase Showdown are doubled; the initial dollar is worth $2,000, a green section in the bonus spin is worth $20,000, and a dollar in the bonus spin is worth $50,000.
- The standard "money win" graphics across all the games and the Showcase Showdown are replaced by a special set of graphics in the "Big Money Week" font.
- In Friday's Cliff Hangers, the mountain climber and his corresponding graphic are carrying a sack of money.
- Friday's Pass the Buck utilizes the Big Doors, with its cash prizes displayed on a trip screen behind Door #2 instead of onstage.
- On Monday, Balance Game is played for a car.
- On Tuesday, the graphical Switch? logo's original background is used.
- On Wednesday, Range Game is played for a car.
- On Wednesday, after Flip Flop's button refuses to work, Drew ends up kicking the game several times to reveal the price.
- On Thursday, Hole in One's $500 flag is absent.
- On Friday, with all six games being played for cash, all six games are also fee games.
- On Friday, Bonus Game's small prize labels and prices switch to a less flashy font more akin to the original one.
Week 5 (1,844 – 845xK): October 15-19
- On Monday, 3 Strikes is refurbished; the board becomes green and resembles a baseball stadium, the bag is redesigned as a rotating baseball, and the chips are replaced with balls. Additionally, the strikes again change to red text on white (ultimately for this episode only), and the numbers no longer fade in as they light up.
- On Tuesday, with Hi Lo's prize staged in Door #2, Drew and the contestant stand in front of the Turntable instead of the Giant Price Tag before the game.
- On Thursday, Drew's son, Connor, comes through the Big Doors with him.
Week 6 (1,845 – 846xK): November 12, September 21, November 14-16
- Originally scheduled for October 22-26.
- Several times on Tuesday, Drew mentions "premiere week" and the episode being "a Friday show," and the first showcase is loosely themed around "kicking off Season 47;" these refer to the episode's out-of-order broadcast on September 21.
- Tuesday's show, which was broadcast alongside most of Week 1, uses that week's "Premiere Week" graphics during commercial outros and the other usual spots.
- On Wednesday, contestant Yolanda's come on down at the top of Act 2 was not recorded properly and had to be redone; the version seen on-air was actually shot before the first Showcase Showdown.
- On Wednesday, the lights around the Big Doors do not turn red during the second Showcase Showdown.
- On Friday, Secret "X" is played for a car.
Week 7 (1,846 – 847xK): October 29-November 2
- Wednesday is Devin's first episode.
- On Wednesday, four Barker's Beauties are present.
- Wednesday's show is themed around Halloween, with the set and the show itself taking on the guise of a haunted house and graveyard. This results in a number of changes specific to this episode:
- Everyone in the cast wears scary costumes: Drew is a Phantom of the Opera-like ghost who appears transparent at certain points thanks to special effects; George is a werewolf; Manuela is a witch; Rachel is a mummy; Amber is a vampire; and Devin is Frankenstein.
- The opening uses a theme from The Phantom of the Opera and the spooky version of the TPIR theme from Season 38 instead of "Walking" and the regular theme. The spooky theme also replaces the regular theme during the credits after Drew's sign-off.
- Door #4 displays a scene of a haunted house and is adorned with purple curtains; a similar scene featuring a graveyard is shown on the Turntable screens, with the center screen also showing the Door #4 logo. This version of the logo is also used at the end of the opening, and it appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
- The logo on Door #4 logo has a purple background on the left side and has the text "Happy Halloween!" at its base.
- The audience curtains are black, and the audience light columns are orange, as are the lights on George's podium.
- The G-T asterisks around the audience are a glittery black.
- The light strips around the audience are purple, as are most of the lights on the Turntable.
- The audience walls, the Turntable walls, and George's podium are adorned with spider webs.
- George's opening spiel is, "Here it comes! From the spooktacular Bob Barker studio at CBS in Hollywood, it's The Price Is Right!"
- George says the last word of "Come on down!" as a howl; howls and other creepy inflections also affect much of his other announcing throughout the show.
- The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants on this Halloween episode of The Price Is Right!"
- The Contestants' Row displays have orange borders and show a pair of creepy eyes against a black background; when the contestants bid, the eyes disappear and are replaced by numbers in an orange, blood-like font.
- Drew is introduced with, "And now, beware of the ghost of The Price Is Right, Drew Carey!"
- The Barker Wall is replaced by a black starfield; this also appears as a prize backdrop several times throughout the show, including during Danger Price.
- When Drew is introduced, he materializes from a cloud of smoke, accompanied by maniacal laughter. Drew also disappears in this manner during every commercial outro, as does the nearby Manuela after Rat Race; after pricing games, this is often followed by a burst of purple light that transitions to a shot of the contestant. Oddly, after disappearing at the end of the second Showcase Showdown, Drew then reappears, congratulating the winner as the show goes to break.
- The floor of the Turntable is covered by "dead grass," which is actually brown carpeting.
- George says hello to "Mummy Mai."
- George's display shows a jack-o-lantern wearing Drew Carey glasses against a purple sky.

- George's calldown window is orange and bright pink, and its dollar sign is purple.
- Rat Race's name is temporarily changed to "Bat Race;" bat wings are attached to the wind-up rats, and the rat racer is costumed as a bat. Several rats and bats can also be seen climbing and hanging from the game's props.
- The Big Wheel's split-screen separator is purple and orange, and the border of the arrow shot is purple.
- When the Big Wheel scoreboard updates, it is struck by lightning and briefly shows the silhouette of an electrified cat.
- The cards in Money Game are orange with a black background.
- Bullseye has spiders crawling all over it.
- The Showcase podiums are decorated as gravestones, using the purple logo from Door #4 with a background of stone.
- Most of the credits are written in the same bloody font as the Contestants' Row bids.
- Most of the names in the credits contain some sort of Halloween pun, such as "Mike RIPards" and "Devilyn Warfel." Adam Sandler is listed with a different name for each of his jobs -- "Adam Lost in Quicksandler" for director and "Adamned to Eternity Sandler" for producer. The cast is credited as "Mummy Rachel Reynolds," "Vampire Amber Lancaster," "Mannyac Arbelaez," "Frankendevin Goda," "Ghastly George Gray," and "Boo Scary;" it should be noted that "Host" was added to the credits for this episode solely to allow a joke about Drew's name.

- Door #4 shows the Barker logo on a shield above the word "Veterans," against a field of stripes and a background of cascading stars. These graphics also appear on George's display, and a Carey version of the "Veterans" logo appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
- Most of the lights on the set are red, white, and blue.
- The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we honor veterans on The Price Is Right!
- The Contestants' Row displays show rotating stars on a field of blue; when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to reveal the normal colors.
- The borders of Contestants' Row are blue on the red and yellow displays and red on the blue and green displays.
- The set is decorated for the holiday.
- The Turntable screens show a mural of the American flag.
- Everyone in the audience receives a two-night trip to Las Vegas, 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 one of said trips.
- Toni Trucks and Judd Lormand, the portrayers of Lisa Davis and Eric Blackburn on SEAL Team, appear to help present the second showcase.
Week 9 (1,848 – 849xK): October 22-26
- Originally scheduled for November 12-16.
- Monday is the first episode with Devin to air on CBS and serves as his formal introduction.

- On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, three Barker's Beauties are present; as such, George does not participate in Wednesday's Swap Meet.
- On Thursday, Stack the Deck's second grocery display is introduced; additionally, the main board's chase lights are replaced with solid, yellow lights.

- Wednesday's show is themed around Thanksgiving. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
- Most of the lights on the set are traditional fall colors.

- The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we celebrate Thanksgiving on The Price Is Right!"
- The borders of Contestants' Row are an orange-ish yellow.
- The Contestants' Row displays show, in order from left to right and each against a wood-paneled wall with leaves falling in the foreground, a pie topped with a whipped cream G-T asterisk; a pilgrim's hat; a pumpkin, apples, and an ear of corn; and a turkey dinner. When the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away amidst a flurry of leaves to reveal the normal colors.
- The set is decorated for Thanksgiving.
- The Turntable screens show leaves falling against a fall-colored background that gives way to a dark blue sky at the top. The center display also shows the logo from Door #4, as does the rest of the middle row during the Showcase.

- Monday's show is themed around Cyber Monday. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
- Door #4 shows a pile of Christmas presents, a shopping cart, and the text "Cyber Monday" (with the "o" being the logo in the form of an ornament) against a background of cubes with a mouse pointer moving across the screen, dragging the gift boxes into the cart (largely the same graphics from Season 45's Cyber Monday episode); similar graphics appear on George's display (with the logo and the cart) and the center row of Turntable screens (with the logo on the center display and the cart on the other two), while the other two rows of Turntable screens show raining gift boxes against the same background, and the "Cyber Monday" logo appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
- The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants on this special, Cyber Monday episode of The Price Is Right!"
- The Contestants' Row displays show the text "Cyber Monday" on a computer keyboard; when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to reveal the normal colors.
- Everyone who gets onstage receives a $1,000 gift card from IKEA, the provider of the first Item up for Bids.
- Every Item up for Bids features a PriceIsRight.com plug urging viewers to visit the website for a chance to win portions or all of the prize package or gift cards from their provider.

Week 12 (1,851 – 852xK): December 3-4, June 24-25, December 7
- Originally scheduled for December 3-7.
- On Monday, the G-T asterisks between the Big Doors are missing until the first Showcase Showdown; the left-hand one does appear briefly during the reveal of the third Item up for Bids, but this appears to have been a reshot that was edited in after the taping.

- On Monday, three Barker's Beauties are present.
- On Tuesday, Hi Lo is played for a car.
- On Tuesday, Hi Lo largely uses its original reveal; while the prize is still described first and the counter is still positioned as though it were behind the Giant Price Tag, Drew and the contestant stand in front of the Turntable before the game, and the counter is brought out by a Barker's Beauty after the prize plug. Additionally, the prize is placed in Door #2 so as to be visible behind the counter during the game.
Week 13 (1,852 – 853xK): December 10-14
- Wednesday is Bob's 95th birthday. Drew wishes him well during the opening, and the second showcase is themed around him.
Week 14 (1,853 – 854xK): December 17-21
- This week of shows consists of Christmas episodes. The following aspects of these episodes are different than usual:
- Most of the lights around the set are red and green.
- The G-T asterisks around the audience and between the Big Doors are all white and light blue.
- Door #4 shows the logo, wearing a Santa hat and with holly at its base, against a blue background, all amid snowfall, snow-covered pines, and Christmas presents.
- The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we celebrate the holidays on The Price Is Right!"
- The Contestants' Row displays show ornaments hanging from a Christmas tree branch against a snowy, blue background; when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away amid a flurry of snow to reveal the normal colors.
- The borders of the red and yellow Contestants' Row displays are red.
- The set is decorated for Christmas.
- The Turntable screens show the wintry background from Door #4; the center screen also shows the Barker logo on a Christmas ornament.
- George's display shows a blazing fireplace.
- The show holds a Toys for Tots drive all week, with donations from the staff and the audience displayed in a sleigh on the stage at the back of the audience.
- Every day, either a portion of one Item up for Bids, a gift card from its provider, or a prize presented alongside it is given to everyone in the audience; these also serve as PriceIsRight.com plugs, with George urging viewers to visit the website for a chance to win said prizes for themselves.
- The various PriceIsRight.com graphics are Christmas-themed.
- The logo, with Santa hat, appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
- George's calldown window is green, and its dollar sign is red.
- The G-T asterisks on the Showcase podiums are red.
- Candy canes are used instead of pins in the graphics for Thursday's Around the World showcase.
- This week is also Pet Adoption Week; each day, one or more cast members (on Monday) or guests (on Tuesday through Friday) do a pet adoption segment at the beginning of Act 3, with a special set of "Pet Adoption Week" graphics on the Turntable walls and Door #4 that feature a puppy in a gift box. Additionally, the third Items up for Bids are all somehow pet-related, except on Wednesday, when instead, the "wrong price" in Cover Up is pictures of four cats and dogs in Santa hats flanking the ornament version of the TPIR logo. The guests are as follows:
- Tuesday's guests are Justin Melnick and Dita, the portrayers of Brock Reynolds and bomb-sniffing dog Cerberus on SEAL Team; Dita is both Melnick's acting partner and his pet.
- Wednesday's guest is Barrett Foa, the portrayer of Eric Beale on NCIS: Los Angeles.
- Thursday's guest is Melissa Ordway, the portrayer of Abby Newman on The Young and the Restless and an occasional extra Barker's Beauty (a role she, in fact, serves for the remainder of the episode).
- Friday's guest is Brandon McMillan, the host of CBS's Lucky Dog.
- On Monday and Thursday, four Barker's Beauties are present (including Melissa Ordway on Thursday); on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, three are present. As a result, George does not participate in Tuesday's Most Expen$ive or Thursday's Swap Meet.
- On Monday, One Wrøng Price's second price stands are introduced; as the episode was taped out of order, this change does not immediately become permanent.
- For a brief time after the set change, but not on this playing, the labels are reversed so that the nameplate is on top and the price is on the bottom. This only lasts for a handful of playings and is quickly reverted by February.
- On Monday, Wayne Brady makes a guest appearance during Rat Race, his favorite pricing game.

- On Friday, the Plinko logos on the chips in the game's intro becomes significantly smaller.
- On Friday, the money graphics in Plinko's intro are in a different font; it remains to be seen whether this is a permanent change or simply something that was done to highlight the augmented top prize.

- New Year's week; no Tuesday show.
- Monday's show is a "Best of 2018" program, featuring some of the show's favorite moments, prizes, and games of the past year. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
- The show begins with George narrating a montage of some of the best moments of 2018; this then transitions into the regular opening.
- The light columns in the audience are purple.
- The light strip around the audience is light blue.
- Many of the G-T asterisks around the audience are covered with silver glitter; those that are not are a bluish white.
- Door #4 shows the Barker logo on a disco ball above the text "Best of 2018," all against a purple background with fireworks going off; these graphics also appear on the Turntable walls (with the logo and text only appearing in the center row) and on George's display (without the text).
- The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we celebrate the best of 2018 on The Price Is Right!"
- The set is decorated for New Year's.
- The Turntable stairs are purple, and the lights between its monitors are light blue.
- The borders of the Contestants' Row displays are light purple.

- George's podium is white.
- In a throwback to its 35th anniversary celebration in January, Plinko is played for $175,000, with the $10,000 slot changed to $35,000, the $100 and $1,000 slots changed to $3,500, and, somewhat awkwardly, the $500 slots changed to $350; this ultimately leads to the contestant winning $350 with a playing that, on a normal show, would have been worth $500.
- The trip screen graphics for the trip to Greece in Double Prices are a photo of Manuela on her honeymoon earlier in the year.
- The "Best of 2018" text appears along with the Carey logo during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
- George's calldown window is pink and purple, and its dollar sign is gold.
- Four Barker's Beauties are present.
- 3 Strikes is played; while this in and of itself is not noteworthy, it was likely included in the lineup because of its set's makeover in the fall.
- In a callback to the season premiere's Emmy celebration, spinning a dollar on the Big Wheel is worth $8,000, and getting a dollar in a bonus spin is worth $80,000.
- In a callback to the fan appreciation episode, Pick-a-Pair's prize package includes, as a bonus, dinner with Drew after the taping.
- Timothy Chappa, the winner of the Ultimate Superfan contest, appears as a model in Range Game.
- Range Game is played for a car -- specifically, the same car Timothy had won in the Ultimate Superfan contest.
- Everyone in the audience receives a $100 Lyft gift card, which is presented alongside the sixth Item up for Bids, a bar set; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as Drew urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said gift cards.
- In a callback to this season's Big Money Week, winning Switch? awards a bonus of the cash equivalent of the prize package.
- Balloons drop on the stage during the credits.
- The money graphics in Monday's Plinko use the same font from December 21; again, as the top prize is increased on this episode, it is impossible to tell whether this is a permanent change.

- On Friday, in celebration of the 8,000th episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Katherine Kelly Lang and Don Diamont, the portrayers of Brooke Logan and Bill Spencer, appear to drive out the car in Lucky $even and to help present the B&B-themed second showcase.

- As a lead-up to CBS's broadcast of Super Bowl LIII on Sunday night, Friday's show is themed as a Super Bowl party. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
- The show begins with a set of Super Bowl-themed The NFL on CBS graphics, which transitions to the normal opening with a dollar sign wipe. The theme from The NFL on CBS plays throughout the opening; it also supplants the TPIR theme and "Dig We Must" for the entire show, as well as "Walking" during all come on downs (although not after Items up for Bids) and the commercial outro music during the Showcase.
- Door #4 shows the "Super Bowl LIII" logo against the backdrop of a football field; similar graphics appear on the Contestants' Row displays, the Turntable screens (with the logo on appearing in the center column), and George's display. The Contestants' Row graphics wipe away with the toss of a logo-laden football to reveal the normal colors when the contestants bid.
- The stage in the back of the audience is carpeted with a 50-yard line, with a Rams logo propped up on its left side and a Patriots logo on its right.
- The audience signs are replaced with "Super Bowl LIII" signs.
- The aisles in the audience are carpeted to look like a football field.
- George says the show is "from the Bob Barker Stadium."
- The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as we throw the ultimate Super Bowl party on The Price Is Right!"
- Drew's entrance is flanked by fireworks and Barker's Beauties dressed as cheerleaders (with Rachel in Patriots gear and Amber in Rams gear); as such, Drew enters already holding his microphone. Rachel and Amber maintain this attire throughout the show.
- Long snapper Jon Dorenbos appears as a guest model during Act 3 and Act 6; he also helps to present the first showcase.
- Rams Aaron Neary and Justin Lawler and Patriots Deatrich Wise, Jr., and Ted Karras appear remotely to help present the second showcase.
- The second showcase includes, as a bonus, two tickets to the Super Bowl; the contestants are instructed not to include these while bidding.
Week 21 (1,860 – 861xK): February 6, 5, 4, 7, 8
- Originally scheduled for February 4-8.
- This week is Music Week, celebrating a different genre of music each day in a lead-up to CBS's broadcast of the Grammys on Sunday night. Each day, a different type of music is celebrated, with a DJ from a local radio station in the audio booth playing music for the audience during commercials; several genre-related prizes offered; and Door #4 showing a record with the logo in the center above a label for the genre itself, all against a genre appropriate backdrop (or, on Friday, a backdrop of overlapping, golden hypocycloids). These themes are generally introduced at the beginning of Act 3, after which all commercial outros use a genre-specific remix of the TPIR theme; this music is also used at the top of Act 3 and during the credits. (Friday is an exception to this; with no specific genre that day, no remix is introduced, and the regular music is used throughout the show.) The genres and DJs are as follows:
- Monday focuses on country, with Kelli Green from KFRG in the booth.
- Tuesday focuses on hip-hop, with Yesi Ortiz from KAMP in the booth.
- Wednesday focuses on rock and roll, with Stryker from KROQ in the booth. (The theme is stylized as "Rock + Roll" in the episode's graphics.)
- Thursday focuses on EDM, with Raul Campos from KCRW in the booth.
- Friday is a more general celebration of music and the Grammy Awards, with E-Man from KPWR in the booth.
- Additionally, the following aspects of this week's shows are different than usual:
- The audio booth has a TPIR logo on the front backed by a pattern of "lights" on a blue wall. A similar pattern with cascading logos is added behind the day's DJ once they enter the booth. (On Tuesday, the DJ and her backdrop are already present during the opening; however, they still play no role in the show until Act 3.)
- The second showcase is themed around the day's music genre (or, in Friday's case, the awards show).
- Wednesday's show is set up slightly differently from the week's other episodes; the theme is revealed at the very top of the show, and all of its elements are present immediately. This is also partially true on Friday, although the DJ is still only introduced during Act 3.
- At the end of the Showcase on Monday through Thursday, Drew tells viewers what "tomorrow's" music genre is. Since his announcement is based on broadcast order instead of episode order, several of these are semi-incorrect:
- On Monday, Drew says that the next day's theme is EDM, which is actually on Thursday.
- On Tuesday, Drew says that the next day's theme is country, which is actually on Monday.
- On Wednesday, Drew says that the next day's theme is hip-hop, which is actually on Tuesday.
- On Monday, three Barker's Beauties are present; as such, George does not model during Most Expen$ive.
- On Monday, in keeping with the country music theme, 1/2 Off is temporarily renamed "Hats Off," with cowboy hats on every box and one painted onto the game's sign.
- On Wednesday, the frame around the red Contestants' Row display falls off before the second Item up for Bids; it is fixed by the end of the bidding, presumably with help from an edit.
- On Wednesday, KISS appears during Cliff Hangers to offer a prize package related to their farewell tour; they also help to present the second showcase, which is themed around the band.
- In Wednesday's Cliff Hangers, the mountain climber is dressed as a member of KISS and is holding an electric guitar; he also sings a rock and roll remix of "On the Franches Mountains."
- Wednesday's second showcase includes a set of autographed instruments used by KISS in concert; Drew instructs the contestants to regard them as run-of-the-mill musical instruments while bidding on them.
- On Wednesday, KISS's Rock and Roll All Nite plays during the credits.
- On Thursday, DJ Raul Campos can be seen setting up in the audio booth during Act 2.
- In Thursday's One Away, the Mighty Sound Effects Lady becomes the Mighty Sound Check lady for a day, sounding an air horn instead of a car horn for each number the contestant has right.
- On Friday, Hi Lo largely uses its original reveal; while the prize is still described first and the counter is still positioned as though it were behind the Giant Price Tag, Drew and the contestant stand in front of the Turntable before the game, and the counter is brought out by a Barker's Beauty after the prize plug. Additionally, the prize is placed in Door #2 so as to be visible behind the counter during the game.
- In Friday's Plinko, the "O" in the logo on the board is replaced with a record, and all the Plinko chips have records on them.
- Friday's second showcase includes, as a bonus, two tickets to the Grammy Awards and the Recording Academy's official after party; the contestants are instructed not to include these while bidding.
Week 22 (1,861 – 862xK): February 11-15
- On Monday, Balance Game is played for a car.
- On Wednesday, three Barker's Beauties are present.
- Thursday's show is themed around Valentine's Day, with teams consisting of singles in the audience paired up for a "blind date" by the Match dating app. Additionally, the following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
- The show begins with a shot of the Barker logo on a heart, with smaller hearts cascading out from behind it, all against a blue background with a sunburst below the heart. These graphics are also shown on Door #4 throughout the episode; they also appear on the Turntable screens (with the logo only being displayed on the center monitor, or the center row during the Showcase) and George's display.
- After the initial shot of the logo, the screen transitions to Manuela and James, who explain the premise of the episode while walking through the audience. At the end, they toss to George, and the show proceeds with the normal opening.
- "Walking" plays throughout Manuela and James's introduction; it restarts after they throw to George.
- The audio booth and the light columns in the audience are all red, the G-T asterisks in the audience and between the Big Doors are pink, and the light strip around the audience is blue.
- After playing their games, the onstage contestants sit at tables in the enclosed area below the audio booth, labelled "Couples Corner," where they can continue their "dates."
- The extended version of Contestants' Row is used.
- The borders of Contestants' Row are red.
- The Contestants' Row displays show the text "Blind Date" against the background from Door #4; when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to reveal a pink background.
- The opening ends with, "You are the first four couples as we celebrate Valentine's Day on The Price Is Right!"
- Most of the lights on the Turntable are red, and the areas between the monitors are yellow and purple.
- The lights on George's podium are red and pink.
- The usual prize structure for an episode is altered, with a cash game in each half and one car game instead of the other way around. Specifically, Hot Seat is played first (unusual in and of itself); Pick-a-Pair is played for $10,000; and One Away is played for two cars of different makes and models.
- Two small prizes games and a grocery item game are played.
- Hot Seat is played with a loveseat to accommodate the extra contestant.
- The regular logo, backed by floating hearts, appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
- In Cliff Hangers, the mountain climber and his graphics are dressed as cupid and carry a bow with heart-tipped arrows.
- The Big Wheel's split-screen separator is red.
- On Thursday, with Hot Seat as the first game, Drew enters through Door #1.
- On Friday, CBS cut away from a live Donald Trump speech at the top of the hour after evidently deciding it would not contain any additional worthwhile content and instead aired The Price Is Right in its entirety. The episode briefly took on a life of its own in the public consciousness after it was live-tweeted by a bemused Brian Stelter.
Week 23 (1,862 – 863xK): May 27-31
- Originally scheduled for February 18-22.
- This week is Dream Car Week; every day, at least one game is played for a car that would normally only appear in 3 Strikes or Golden Road, as follows:
- On Monday, Cliff Hangers is played for a Jaguar.
- On Tuesday, Pocket ¢hange is played for a Porsche.
- On Wednesday, That's Too Much! is played for a Tesla.
- On Thursday, 5 Price Tags is played for a Range Rover.
- On Friday, 3 Strikes itself is played for a Maserati.
- Additionally, the following aspects of this week are different than usual:
- The light columns around the audience are all red.
- The G-T asterisks around the audience are all red, yellow, orange, and light blue.
- The light strips around the audience, the Turntable walls, and George's podium are light blue.
- Door #4 shows a sports car with the logo on its hood driving down a strip of highway against a red 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 remaining shows, it ends with, "You are the first four contestants as Dream Car Week continues on The Price Is Right!"
- The Contestants' Row displays show a sports car of the appropriate color; when the contestants bid, the cars drive off, with their exhaust revealing the bids. Additionally, the displays' borders are the same color as their screen instead of all four being green.
- Except on Monday, in place of Drew's standard entrance, he drives through Door #2 in the day's dream car. On Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 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 over to Drew. On Wednesday, the trip screen shows the "Dream Car Week" graphics; it also shows them on Tuesday during shots later in the opening. On Monday, Drew enters normally, and the dream car is instead driven out after he greets the audience.
- Except on Monday, monitor columns showing the "Dream Car Week" graphics sit behind Door #2 during Drew's entrance instead of the Barker Wall; these columns do also eventually appear on Monday when the dream car is driven out.
- The Turntable screens show the spiral-less red and blue background from Door #4, with the "Dream Car Week" text against it in the center row; the center row's graphics also appear on George's display.
- The TPIR logo, with the "Dream Car Week" logo at its base and revealed by a car like the ones on Contestants' Row, is shown during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
- In the Showcase Showdown, the $25,000 prize for getting a dollar in a bonus spin is replaced with a Mercedes; the car sits onstage alongside the Big Wheel.
- On Monday, Jay Leno, at this point in his career the host of Jay Leno's Garage, drives out in the day's dream car during the opening (hence why Drew does not enter in it); Jay also reads the car plugs for the pricing games, serves as a extra Barker's Beauty for the day, and helps to present the second showcase.
- On Monday, as noted above, Cliff Hangers is played for a car.
- On Tuesday through Friday, three Barker's Beauties are present.
- Thursday is a three-car day.
- On Thursday, Range Game is played for a car.
- On Thursday, the "Dream Car Week" graphics are shown on the red block at the base of the 5 Price Tags podium.

- On Friday, Lucky $even is played perfectly.
- In Friday's Plinko, the car is placed behind Door #3, flanked by the first two small prize podiums; they are replaced by the third and fourth podiums during the descriptions of the second and third items, respectively.

- Originally scheduled for February 25-March 1.

Week 27 (1,866 – 867xK): April 22-26
- Originally scheduled for March 18-22.
- Originally rescheduled for March 11-15.
- This week of shows should have been created with only a Monday show, as opposed to Week 26 or Week 28; someone on the staff appears to have mistakenly thought the March Madness basketball tournament would start on March 14, which originally fell during Week 26, as opposed to March 21, which originally fell during this week. The error was not caught until the end of January, by which time three shows for this week and next Monday's show had already been taped and it was far too late to change the production numbers.
- This week of shows is Kids Week. Every day, the contestants are children of a different age group, as follows:

- The borders of the Contestants' Row displays are the same colors as their screens.

- Everyone in the audience receives a collection of Play-Doh products, which is presented alongside the third Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George instructs viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said collections. Drew instructs the contestants not to include this while bidding, as it is not actually part of the Item up for Bids.
- On Tuesday, one or more elementary schoolers play alongside one of their parents. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
- The age group is represented on the video screens by a graphic of the word "Elementary" stitched onto a sheet of yellow cloth.

- The age group is represented on the video screens by a graphic of the words "Middle School" backed by pulsing stars.

- Due to the contestants' ages, no car games are played; the only cars offered appear in the Showcase, once the contestants have been joined by a parent.

- The age group is represented by the text "College," with the C wearing a mortarboard.
- The opening ends with, "You are the first four contestants as Kids Week continues on The Price Is Right!"
- The borders of the Contestants' Row displays are the same colors as their screens.
- Everyone in the audience receives a $100 gift card from Roomify.com, which is presented alongside the fourth Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George urges viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said gift cards.
- On Monday, one or more preschoolers play alongside one of their parents. The following aspects of this episode are different than usual:
- Additionally, the following aspects of this week are different than usual:
- The set is decorated for the day's age group.
- Door #4 shows the text "Kid$ Week" against a blue version of the logo backdrop, beneath which is the graphic for the day's age group; the blue background, clearly inspired by the Turntable wall, has sliding rows of Pricedown dollar signs and G-T asterisks. This background is also shown on the Turntable screens and George's display, with the Turntable's center screen showing the day's age group and the rest of the screens (or the rest of the center row on Monday) and George's display showing the "Kid$ Week" logo. (During the Showcase, on Monday, the entire center row on the Turntable displays the age group during the Showcase, while on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, all nine screens show the "Kid$ Week" logo.)
- The Contestants' Row displays show a variation of Door #4's background with colored dollar signs and asterisks (and, on Friday, a pennant with "TPIR" on it); when the contestants bid, these graphics wipe away to reveal the normal colors.
- Most of the prizes on each show are age-appropriate.
- The "Kid$ Week" logos appears during every commercial outro in addition to the usual spots.
- On Wednesday, three Barker's Beauties are present.
- On Wednesday, two small prize games and a grocery item game are played.
- On Wednesday, everyone in the audience receives a scooter, a portion of the sixth Item up for Bids; this also serves as a PriceIsRight.com plug, as George instructs viewers to visit the website for a chance to win one of said scooters.
- On Thursday and Friday, in reflection of CBS's sale of Television City, the second line of the opening is changed to, "From the famous Bob Barker Studio in Hollywood!" As this week's shows were taped out of order, this change does not immediately become permanent.
Week 28 (1,867 – 868xK): March 11
- Originally scheduled for March 25.
- Originally rescheduled for March 11, which was ultimately its airdate.
- Originally rerescheduled for March 18.
- Only one show, on Monday.
- This week was originally created with five shows; it appears to have swapped lengths with Week 26 after Week 23 was moved to May.
- On Monday, at the top of the show, Drew acknowledges George's birthday, with falls on March 11, the day the episode was broadcast on CBS. This leads to a "Happy Birthday, George!" graphic appearing on George's display and Door #4. A birthday cake is also brought out for George during Drew's sign-off.

- Originally rescheduled for April 1-5.
- Monday's show, which was taped out of order, comes "From the famous Bob Barker Studio in Hollywood."
- With the schedule shuffling caused by moving Dream Car Week to May, Monday's show functions as the April Fool's Day episode. Throughout the show, Drew intentionally misidentifies his castmates, variously referring to James, Rachel, and George as Manuela, Amber, Devin, and other people who don't even exist. (Rachel also addresses Drew as Devin at one point, and George later calls him Bob.) Additionally, the Showcase begins with an "unreal" package of prizes that literally don't exist -- a set of mindreading electronics called uThink and BrainPad that let you surf the internet with just your thoughts, a MicroPodUlator cooking system with a year's supply of meal pods, and a 67-hour trip around the world that flies from Los Angeles to Los Angeles without ever landing. (The actual first showcase is a trip to Paris and a car, and the second is a real Around the World showcase.)
- Friday's second showcase includes, as a bonus, two tickets to the ACM Awards, which air on CBS on April 7, the Sunday after the episode's broadcast date. The contestants are instructed not to include these while bidding.
Week 31 (1,870 – 871xK): April 8-12
