In response to 1), could they have been donated by Mark DeCarlo, from when he recorded them back in 1985?

You can\'t \"donate\" a clip from a TV show. I don\'t know if \"fair use\" would apply here, but the clip was long enough that they\'d have to pay whatever the going rate for a minute of time is to Fremantle. I really doubt that the showing of an exciting Lot Win was the genesis of the show getting picked up for 13 weeks four years later.

Watching several episodes of the NBC Daytime Edition from the 1980\'s, I noticed Sally Julian and Lee Menning were never equipped with a body mic. Which leads me to this question: How are we able to hear their voices, if they don\'t have one equipped? I also noticed the same thing with Vanna White in many Wheel of Fortune episodes.

Dude, just chill out and enjoy the episodes.

Given that I\'m not profoundly deaf I am able to hear myself speak. I\'m guessing that Sally nor Lee were deaf so they could hear their own words.

They probably used a boom mic and mixed in the audio in post

Is anyone else disappointed that none of the episodes aired so far have had a Winner\'s Big Money Game win?

\"I\'m not surprised\" seems like it.

Watching the WBMG for the first time as an adult, I realize that nearly every puzzle is a shot in the dark until the 4th word/5th second. So it\'s a matter of having the hair-trigger and the answer at the ready the moment that fourth word appears, four times in a row, or no cash for you. Rough stuff.

So I wasn\'t imagining things as a kid, where you\'d go for two or three weeks without a winner? Weak sauce.

Good heavens, The Winner\'s Big Money Game is weak sauce, damn tough to win (0 for 12 so far), and somewhat derivative from the rest of the show.  On the other hand, the speed round might be the most exciting minute in game show history.  See today\'s show for proof.  I did not see that ending happening.

If they had reinstated shopping and used the bonus game to build a cash jackpot that could be cashed out on day seven, but the contestant was still choosing to take a prize or risk it for a better prize, that would have been really neat, especially to eight-year-old me. If they have a twelve-day stretch of no joy in the bonus game, I suspect they might have had a line item in the ledger for hookers/blow where \"prize budget\" useta be.

Sounds like the producers needed a way to still offer the exciting $100,000 in cash and prizes, but needed a way to not give it away so often, considering the Winner\'s Board guaranteed a prize everyday, which I\'m guessing was hell on the prize budget one way or another.


 


Wasn\'t the Winner\'s Board in response to NBC wanting each of its daytime shows to feature an actual bonus game offering wins, or is that urban legend?

For a long-time, I was under the impression that NBC was trying to conserve their budget, hence why they changed the bonus round so quickly: First with the Winner\'s Board in 1984, then with the WBMG in 1987.
