Two Season 34 (2005-06) episodes of "The Price Is Right" taped in June and July 2005 did not air for 42 and 50 weeks later, respectively, because of Hurricane Katrina because of prizes on the show.<br /><br />A contestant on the June 2005 taping that aired 50 weeks later noted a CBS official sent her a DVD of the episode, marked Not for Broadcast, because there was no clearance to air the episode yet until New Orleans was rebuilt in a necessary way to allow the episode to air. The other postponed episode also had a trip to New Orleans, but by the time the show aired, the contestant won the both the New Orleans and Washington trips (the two locales were trips that the show offered in one game), the airline that gave the Washington trip went out of business. It was unknown if CBS paid cash equivalent, substituted a different trip, or allowed the contestant to take the trip won around Thanksgiving or Christmas (when the show would have aired) as contestants were in legal limbo. Some contestants were able to pick up other prizes before the broadcast, the contestant who was on the Golden-Road.net message board did not say. However, by law, CBS would air the show and award prizes, even if the episode did not air.<br /><br />Of course, in modern era Price, CBS would be even stricter on trip and car situations since in the modern era of social media, the network encourages contestants to show their trips on social media or when they pick up their cars. A 12-month postponement would legally put contestants in hot water when they picked up their prizes and showed them on social media.Bobbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-44997618990591867392017-11-24T21:10:29.320-05:002017-11-24T21:10:29.320-05:00Thanks, Mitchell!
