If you ask me, the only thing I'd want to see return is the Free Spin space.

Just placing one Free Spin token on the Wheel wouldn't be fair, because then only one player can use it.

Maybe if they brought it back and limited each player to one Free Spin disc, you'd have something. The Free Spin space was scrapped during the 1989-90 season due to contestants earning as many as five or six Free Spin discs with skillful spinning. A contestant on the daytime show in the late 80s had five free spins, using all of them in round two and never losing control of the board. This was still in the shopping era, and the third round was a speed up round from the outset. The third player became(at the time) the first(and maybe the only) player ever to win on WOF without ever spinning the Wheel, thanks to Pat hitting the $2K on the final spin.

The free spins should be electronically stored in the player's bank whenever they hit the FREE SPIN space, and if he/she wants to use the free spin, just hit the button on the toss-up device and a free spin is taken from the player's bank.

Yes.

With the Free Spin space, each player gets a Free Spin token (whether it's given to them without them calling a letter, or WITH them calling a letter), and upon receiving it, can use it.

It surprises me that in your vast WOF collection you do not have any of the episodes where a player reeled off like 4 or 5 consecutive hits of the Free Spin, which is why they changed it to the format used today.

But it's not a hole that Brooke Burns couldn't fill.

You know what would be a good April Fools thing--have Vanna on "Jeopardy!" to tap the monitors when the answers are revealed.

Perhaps if they reduced the prize money, they could have fewer plugs. Just a thought.

Yet, I'm sure most of us would be happy to fill one of Brooke's--never mind.

If you want "fair" come to Iowa in August.  By the same token, they should have three slots on the wheel be "Fur Coat", because its not "fair" for only one contestant to win.

Perfect, baby. Absolutely perfect.
So anyhow. Brooke Burns hosting and Brooke Burke at the letter board. Teenage boys will be locking their bedroom doors all over town.

I wasn't aware PYL was still making new episodes.

(Make a smart-ass reply to that and I break-a you face. :-)
