D'oh! Price Is Right offers trip to New Orleans as top prize
http://www.sptimes.com/2005/09/09/Worldandnation/TV_show_s_prize__A_tr.shtml

Observant channel flippers and game show fans noticed that one of the big prizes on today's airing of The Price Is Right was a ski boat - and a trip to New Orleans.

Most bloggers commented on the cruel irony of such a prize. Some linked to www.thepriceisright.tk a database of episodes from the Price is Right yes, there is such a thing. According to the database, Thursday's show originally aired on Dec. 7, 2004. Neither contestant in the Showcase Showdown won the trip.

1. I heard they film them months in advance
I know somebody who went to a taping many years ago, and she said that they film them something like three months before the air date.

Ooops.

2. The ski boat could've been handy...
This does illustrate how non-current the modern
media is though.

3. I saw that yesterday, but I knew it was a rerun.
The new season of shows hasn't started airing yet.
