** On September 29, 2014, GSN started showing the remaining 1985-early 1986 episodes, starting with #561 (November 18, 1985; Day 21 of 25 of the third and final Home Player Sweepstakes). While they skipped a grand total of six episodes (all 1986), they continued through #696 (May 30, 1986) on April 8, 2015 before wrapping back around to #561 the next day.
** In 2005, Creator/VH1 showed master-quality clips of the June 17, 1986 episode in a segment on ''I Love the 80's 3D'' for 1983.

** On June 4, 2023, to celebrate National Game Show Day, Buzzr showed an episode in a marathon of first and last shows, but it was actually #697 (June 2, 1986). They have gotten one episode further than GSN as of right now. That year, Rick Stern, who was the associate director, confirmed in a Facebook fan group post that any claims of the 700's being damaged beyond repair, supposedly the reason why GSN did not continue where they left off in 2016, were untrue.

** CBS had a choice between ''Press'' and a Nipsey Russell-hosted pilot for Mark Goodson Productions called ''Star Words'', when the network reviewed the pilots for both shows in mid-1983, as a replacement for ''Series/ChildsPlay''. What if the network had picked up ''Star Words'' instead of ''Press''...

* ScheduleSlip: Season 4 Episode 9 of the current version ("It's Nacho Night!") was scheduled to air on September 8, 2022, but was preempted due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. It was re-scheduled for November 28, 2023, but pulled yet again for a rerun of a Season 5 episode. It finally aired in an 8:00 PM timeslot for the first time on Thursday, January 25, 2024, re-designated as Season 5 Episode 10, after its intended season saw it simply omitted from the listing and lowered the following episode title enumerations by one. The bonus round saw the winner of the main game hit four Whammies and end up with only her previous winnings, which is understandably a valid reason to pull the episode in favor of re-airing a less disappointing outcome during November sweeps.

** Happily averted now, as Buzzr, an over-the-air network dedicated to classic game shows, currently has reruns of this show on their lineup. The channel began streaming digitally on its own website in 2018, meaning anyone with an Internet connection can watch it. What makes it particularly good is that since it's not a cable network, it's not particularly difficult to save episodes into your own collection.
