- TriviaThe final three pricing games played on Bob Barker's final show ('Double Prices', 'Bonus Game', and 'Any Number') were the first three games played on his first show, but in reverse order. On Decades week on the season 44 premiere in September 2015 the games were replayed in the same order as the show's premiere on September 4th 1972, and on June 26th 2023 the final show in the Bob Barker studio 33 to air, the games were again played in the reverse order.
- GoofsIf a contestant won the right to a bonus spin in a Showcase Showdown (spinning the large wheel), Bob Barker always warned the contestant that the wheel had to make at least one revolution during the bonus spin or "it doesn't count and you don't get to spin again." The fact that the contestant would not get another chance to spin means that the insufficient spin WOULD count. However, the value on the wheel would be voided, so even if that spin would have won the Showdown, the contestant is disqualified. So the spin, in fact, would not count.
- Quotes
Bob Barker: [just before the Range Finder in Range Game starts moving] Don't press the button until you want to stop the Range Finder, because we can't start it again for thirty-seven hours.
- Crazy creditsFollowing producer Mark Goodson's death in December 1992, until 2007 when Drew Carey took over as host, the announcer would continue to announce during the closing credits that the show was "a Mark Goodson production", mainly in his honor.

Featured review
Come on Down, but need I say more this is a long running TV classic that millions of Americans loved each and everyday! So good you have a loud and cheering audience and contestants are selected to make bids on prices of showcase items for then a chance to compete at higher prices and win big money! And many of the games and items shown are tough, but it's so interesting to try and price items. Bob Barker always made it watchable, he's a legend so classy and professional his voice and hosting is classic he was such a hard worker for so many years. A final note the showcase models were fantastic to watch also it made the male viewer take his eye and mind off the prizes for awhile at least especially when the screen showed sexy beauties Nikki Ziering or Dian Parkinson. Really a daytime TV legendary classic!
