GSN's Griffin Tribute Schedule

12:30 jumps us way, way ahead to 1997 with the first episode with the new (current) puzzleboard. I don't have   a good feeling about the last two hours, though 1997 Wheel is at least somewhat tolerable compared to 2007 wheel though it doesn't hold a candle to 80's Wheel.

There are still some more surprises in store.  Trust me.

I wonder just how far forward GSN has access to?  I have a feeling we may see the debut of the bonus prize wheel from a few years back, but wonder what else will turn up.

1:30's episode is the 1996 April Fools Day, with Alex hosting, Pat's wife at the board, and featuring Pat and Vanna as contestants playing for charity.

1997, actually. (I know this only because I remember where I was watching the J! show from the same day.)

Yup...Somewhere I have the original on-air broadcast of some of it (once I realized what was going on, I started to tape).

I'm away from home now, I feel like I should have set the VCR AND the TIVO, just in case something happened to the TIVO.

This is an absolutely excellent marathon!

WoF debuted on NBC on 1/6/75. IF (somewhat big assumption here) the succession was as simple as 1-5, 6-10, etc., then episode 368 should have aired on 6/2/76.

Just thought I'd share my arithmetic for anyone else who likes precise information when they keep shows.

A quick search of the Wikipedia article on daytime Wheel mentions that the episode of 6/3/76 exists and is in the Library of Congress. You're merely a day off, so this could be that episode.

As this wraps up, massive kudos to GSN!! If only they could have been this creative with Jeopardy tomorrow rather than dragging out the Million Dollar Masters for the umpteenth time.

The Library of Congress has this episode in their archives and they have it listed as being "published" on June 7, 1976.  I didn't think that was very accurate, but I guess 3 pre-emptions is reasonable since Wheel had only been around for one holiday season at that point.

The way I read the press release, the marathon includes the $1,000,000 tournament but is not necessarily doing so to the exclusion of anything else. So tape will still roll at my hut.
And I join all of you in the kudos for GSN. Too bad it takes someone dying to get these things shown.
