The Big Board / Wheel contestant convicted in son-in-law's 2014 murder
« Last post by BrandonFG on October 27, 2025, 06:54:13 PM »
My lady is a big true crime fan and had Dateline on last night. This case involved a woman accused of hiring a hit man to kill her son-in-law. What does this have to do with game shows, you ask? Turns out the mother-in-law, Donna Adelson, appeared on nighttime Wheel in 1989 and they showed clips from her appearance. Looks like she won at least $2,200.

The trailer doesn't feature any clips, but the episode "Deadly Mischief" does and is available on Peacock. It's a wild story.

My guide says it's a repeat of the April 2024 episode.

Bumping after a year and a half because Toon in with Me is airing a game show-centric episode on Monday, November 3.  I don't know whether it's new or a repeat of the show from April 2024.

Toon in with Me airs at 7 AM Eastern on MeTV, and the same day at 11 PM Eastern on MeTV Toons.

Can you expand on this? I know the producers called the PAFs before the show to ensure they were available - I don’t recall an episode where no one picked up - I’m surprised they wouldn’t have allowed a different PAF at that point.
Didn't they just edit out the failed phone calls?

dials his phone-a-friend, THE FRIEND DOESN'T ANSWER. Not the question, the phone.

Dunno if it'll work here but there's an app called Scannable. I haven't used it in a couple years but it sometimes came in handy for documents.
You expect me to use an app like that when I had extreme difficulties scanning legal documents to my phone this summer?

I will give it a try.

I plan to scan them upon arrival.  There is always the shared custody option--you get them on alternating weekends.

Edit:  Adam showed me a pic of the cards.  They won't fit in a regular scanner.  I will have to ask around my school if they have something that can handle the task.

Confession time:  I bought the last deck.  Sorry for the potential last-moment snipers.  FOMO is real.  Additionally, it's for a cause I want to support.

I had the high bid but I wasn’t gonna BIN.

Enjoy the purchase; kindly send me a few pictures when it arrives.

I got lucky when it came time to scan my Gambit deck; my brother-in-law works for a tool and die company and has access to an industrial sized scanner.  If there’s nothing large enough at the school then maybe one of those shops can help.

The Big Board / Re: "I'm still hoping for (more) episodes of this to surface..."

I'm delighted by what's been popping up lately.  When I think back to my first tape trade in November 1996 and compare it to today, I never dreamed some of this stuff would be available.

But, if we're going to play this game, for me it would be quite a bit from the '70s.  Off the top of my head:

Celebrity Sweepstakes
Money Maze
High Rollers - 74
Jackpot - NBC
Rhyme and Reason

As long as we're dreaming, how about some mid-'70s shows from CTV:

Anything You Can Do
He Knows, She Knows
Celebrity Dominoes
