Fellow game show host, Bert Convey stops by on the show to talk with Bob about his expanding the show to 1 hour. At this point, contestants still do not win a bonus for bidding exactly right during the One Bid/Contestant's Row round. This bonus was to be enacted in the next upcoming season.

This episode was from the final week of 1/2-hour long episodes. Match Game panelist, Charles Nelson Reilly stops by to congratulate the show on expanding to 1-hour long episodes.

This was the first permanent hour-long episode. 6 pricing games were now played in this format. The introduction of the modern-day Big Wheel occurs on this episode. Spinnig $1.00 in a single spin, or combination of two, netted a $1,000 bonus, however, no additional bonus spin was awarded. The additional spin for more money did not begin until 3 years later. The Wheel has changed colors slight over time, but is the actual same wheel used for more than 30+ years.
