NBC bid High Rollers, HS, and Chain Reaction a fond farewell after runs of 2 yrs, 14 yrs, and 6 mos, respectively. The David Letterman Show takes over the 10-11:30 AM slot on Mon, resulting in CS being pushed to noon and slowly leading to its cancellation.

Or, you could choose to believe Peter Marshall and Art Alisi's account of the story, where WHEEL was actually cancelled instead of CR and was in the midst of their wrap party when NBC hurriedly announced that WoF was being renewed.  :)

But what classic finales those shows were!

Nor would we be telling Johnny Come Latelys (Myself, included, at times) that Woolery is leaving Wheel. :-P

May I reply to this post? I remember watching some of those game shows on NBC when I was a baby. High Rollers, Wheel of Fortune, Card Sharks, and Password Plus is all I could remember from that time.
