Wheel of Fortune

Wheel of Fortune is still America's number 1 game show. The show has been around for 36 years: the daytime version from January 1975 to September 1991 on NBC and CBS, and the syndicated version, which debuted in September 1983. The show is currently hosted by Mr. Pat Sajak and Ms. Vanna White. They've been on Wheel of Fortune since Susan Stafford and Chuck Woolery, the original host and hostess of America's game, left the show. I've been watching Wheel of Fortune since I was a baby, especially when the prizes were shown on the stage. Not only did I loved the syndicated version of Wheel of Fortune from the late 1980s and early 1990s, I also loved the daytime version of that show. Bob Goen and Rolf Benirschke have made a real impression to the audience. Now I know why Pat Sajak left the daytime show. But at least he's seen on the nighttime version every weeknight. What I also like about every Wheel of Fortune episode are the following: the prizes, the studio audience, and the $25,000 sign. But what I really loved most of all are the following: the wheel spinning by itself, at the opening and closing, the $25,000 sign being displayed, and the puzzle board. And speaking of the puzzle board, I've seen Ms. White turn a lot of letters on the puzzle board, which was part of a Wheel of Fortune set since 1981. Merv Griffin would be very proud. After all, he created that show. And the studio that I really loved most of all is when all Wheel of Fortune episodes took place at CBS Television City in Hollywood, California. I look forward to seeing Pat Sajak and Vanna White. And if Wheel of fortune were to stay on the air for a long time, there's no telling what great thing might happen next. I love Wheel of Fortune!
