TPiR goofs resulting in wins

I'm gonna go Zach for a minute here, just 'cause I'm a jerk about date accuracy...the date given in that clip is of a rerun.  That's actually the 11th episode of Season 30.  It should have aired on October 1 (three days before the debut of Pass the Buck), but it ended up getting pushed back to January 14.

-On Line em Up's first playing of season 32, a contestant won the car and 3 prizes because the price of the 2 digit prize was shown as $38 instead of $37 (The 3 was the right digit, go figure).

-There was a playing of Punch-a-Bunch last season in December where Bob accidently said the contestant punched out a $10,000 slip when it was really $1,000, so they gave her the $10,000.

- Also, there was a playing of Cliff Hangers in season 31 where they had the price of a Spiderman DVD as $40, but it was really $30, so they ended up rewarding the prize and small prizes to the contestant.

Here's a question for the TPiR insiders/staffers:

When one of the aforementioned errors/malfunctions takes place that causes Bob to give away the prizes, does Bob ever go Bobby Knight on the staffers at the end of the show after the audience leaves the studio?

Do you really think they're gonna tell you if he does? That's how you REMAIN an insider...

Let me add to this and see if anyone remembers:

The game was "Ten Chances," played during an episode early in the 29th season.* When Bob was revealing (or so he thought) the scrambled numbers in the first prize, the actual price was given instead. For the second prize, the same thing occurred. Finally, for the car...the same thing happened again.

So, the contestant was awarded all three prizes, all without having to write a single digit. Bob explained it after the commercial break, but I since forgot what he said.

Never mind the "Time is (Ad) Money" incident when 20 seconds wasn't really 20 seconds...

Mark, you are correct. I did miss that one. My apologies.
