Half a Century Ago TO DAY! (January 6th)

<< < (2/3) > >>

They had yet another new category on Tuesday's 1/7 show, THE NEXT 50 YEARS. Puzzle was Solving puzzles in space. I think that's stretching it a bit.

I was myself disappointed with the Jan 6th episode.

No mention of Chuck, Pat, Susan Stafford, Charlie O' Donnell the original announcer, no mention of Merv Griffin...

But Vanna really disappointed me when she said "It was 50 years ago tonight..." as if to imply that Wheel has always been a nighttime show, which it did not start out as being. 

Also lots of Bankrupts and a bonus puzzle loss made that 50th anniversary episode very "meh" to me.


Spoiler tags added. The episode aired just two days ago. —Scott

It sounds like it wasn’t an anniversary show at all but instead a show that happened to air on the 50th anniversary of the premiere.

The theme of this week is the 50th anniversary. The set is filled with props and pictures from throughout the years, and there are extra gimmicks thrown in here and there. There is absolutely a Goen Wheel set pic amongst the lot.

TLEberle:
Not sure why our Bill is disappointed then.
