Exactly how many eps of Pitfall were made???

About 130 - likely in two different taping blocks.  The first batch had a $5000 bonus prize; the second batch reduced it to $2500.

The OP also asked about the music of the piece.  Start the clip again and you'll hear some cut off fan fare, followed by nine beats and a wind up that brings us to the music we all know from the HR package on TVPMM.  So, there must be another cut out there right?  

Also, regarding Wink's HR.  Does anyone out there think that the pre-mature table rewind affected the players' rolls?

Is this the Museum's ep, or does CBC know something we don't?

Alex is wearing a tux, so it's got to be the nighttime syndicated version.

There are two, actually, and both are out: The episode from the Warhol collection's opening has no visual content, and the set's color (if my memory's right) is considerably darker than the other.
