1975 NBC "Fun in the Morning" GS promo discovered!
SplitSecond:
Shopper's Bazaar did have Buy a Vowel spaces, as well as a Free Vowel space (where one may call a vowel and not have to pay for it - personally, I think that should have stayed on instead of Buy a Vowel). On the other hand, I don't seem to remember there being a Bankrupt space (though there was the aforementioned $0 space, which had a different function altogether).
The Wheel of Fortune pilots had the standard Lose a Turn, Bankrupt, and Free Spin spaces, as well as two Buy a Vowel spaces. For the fourth round, there were 6 special spaces - two Lose a Turns, two Bankrupts, and two Buy a Vowels. Lowest value on the wheel on both Wheel and Bazaar was $25 (not counting the $0 space on Bazaar), and highest value on both was $1,000.

Pretty interesting to watch, really, especially with subtle movements toward overhyping MMM. Then in retrospect, looking at how dismal that show really was in viewer turnout.

1. \"MMM\" was the baby of the bunch, meaning it would get the most hype.
2. To be more precise, it was Lin Bolen's baby. Going by her mixed track record up to that point, she seemed to have bet her job on the success of that show. Both she and \"MMM\" barely made it into 1976.

MMM at least was undismal enough in viewer turnout to make the $100 Answer to The Magnificent ________ on one of Monday's MG76 vertivision airings.

And I would've had a hard time on that one. The only other THE MAGNIFICENT __________ I could think of was an LA R&B disk jockey named The Magnificent Montague (one of the \"hey lawdy mama\"-type DJs who would shout encouragement to the singer over the records)--and I know damn well that unless a church group from Watts was in the audience that day, it would not show up on a \"MG\" Audience Match.
