Rules Changes to Make a Show Easier

I thought about adding this disclaimer when I first posted, but figured people would post what they were going to post anyway. The items that really fit the subject fall in line with bonus round and pricing game rules.

Minor quibble here, but couldn't it be argued that it possibly made it more difficult? It changed to one card per line briefly after you could change a card anywhere multiple times, if you had enough changes to do it.

You could definitely argue that, but considering how player friendly even those rules were compared to the Perry run, I’m sure there weren’t a ton of quibbles.
TimK2003:
Bullseye: In the earlier episodes out on "Bonus Island", one could elect NOT to freeze the Bullseyes in any window and continue to spin for more money with a greater chance of hitting the lightning. By the end of the run, Bullseyes were frozen automatically.
SRIV94:
The option changing on P+. If you didn't solve the puzzle on the fourth clue, you were likely screwed because your opponent was going to get the option on the fifth clue.
That Don Guy:
If it's limited to "winning the big money," here's an obscure one; the initial number of points needed to earn the bonus "moneyball" (which earned $1 a point) on The Magnificent Marble Machine was reduced from 15,000 to 13,000.
On Catch-21, they added an extra chance to pass a card in the bonus round when the show got a sponsor.

BtB '76 - awarding the box to the opponent with a wrong answer (except in the case of a win)
