Title: Wheel Of Fortune
Post by: Brandon Brooks on July 28, 2007, 12:12:19 PM
I admit that it's pretty early, but amidst all of the hullabaloo about TPiR, I wanted to know if anyone heard anything about what Wheel is planning on doing for syndication year 25.  I know they're going to travel, but any word about new super-duper wrinkles in the game's format, like an extra special $1 meeeeeelion bonus round.  That would be super-duper sweet, except of course mo' money, mo' problems.

Seriously, any news?

Oh God, not another 1.5 million colors.... :P

No, seriously, you would think they'd at least do something, but alas, no word.

I would love to see them do a REAL retro week, with the shopping and all. Of course, that's just wishful thinking.

In reality, all we're probably going to get is a mediocre clip show- and it's only mediocre because they're going to use the same clips they used for every other milestone they hit.

- Put that ceramic dalmatian on the set for every show.
 - A retro week (as previously mentioned)
 - Chucker and Susan for a week (as previously mentioned)
 - Limit the # of colors to those only in a box of 64 Crayola crayons.

Chuck has no connections to the syndicated show.  Why?

And get the Ceramic Dalmatians to play the theme and prize music live.

Something tells me Kookie needs a comb about as much as I do these days.

Yeah, it does sound silly. Sorry.

This is somewhat off topic and I'm sorry for bringing this up (Lord knows this has been brought up many times), but I just wanted to see what you guys think. Let's say Price decided to stop after Barker this season. Do ya think Wheel would tout 25 or 32 years? Just a thought that popped into my head on the way home from work.

This question makes almost as much sense as asking whether Ken Jennings' winnings should be announced including hypothetical TOC winnings or not (http://\"http://gameshow.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=4931&hl=\").

I would like to see a memorable moment for each show this season. Among them:

The first $100K bonus round win
The $62,400 loss from 1985
The last appearance of the old board - and the debut of the current board from 1997
Shows where the dalmatian was picked
The $54K single round win and $100K loss in one show
Alex hosts while Pat and Vanna play for charity

None of that was even mildly relevant to the quoted post.

I'd merely prefer that he not insult my intelligence by suggesting he had any sort of remorse whatsoever, after years of unapologetically posting complete crap.

But I'm done now.
