How did we all miss the obvious one - TPIR changing the Double Showcase Winner amount needed from $99 to $250?
Also, on Groucho Marx's You Bet Your Life, adding the $5000 number to the bonus round wheel (at first, the contestants chose one number, worth $10,000, and the rest were worth $2000; later, they chose a $10,000 number and a $5000 number).
