Title: Wheel Marathon Today (9/27)
Post by: tvmitch on September 27, 2008, 10:51:18 AM

I think GSN is missing a great opportunity with these WoF episodes in not airing some of the older daytime Sajak eps with shopping...especially in this marathon. Sure, WoF is primarily for playalong value, but seeing that ceramic dalmatian come up? I think it would be a good move.

I'm sure that there are some considerations about which tapes have been converted over, etc.

Not that's it's true or anything, but it's possible that GSN/Sony might have the tapes to almost 30 years' of the shows' content.

When Merv Griffin died last year, GSN played several shopping episodes (including Pat's first, Vanna's first, Touchboard's first) and even one with Chuck Woolery and Susan Stafford.
