I wish I could remember what the word was, but I groaned when the contestant tanked.<br /><br />Abagale: Thanks for reading my blog and commenting for the first time. I look forward to your continued visits and comments.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-80557743972734272762008-01-08T13:46:00.000-05:002008-01-08T13:46:00.000-05:00I love Wheel of Fortune especially for the reason ...I love Wheel of Fortune especially for the reason you stated...the people who can't spell or figure out what it is....still cracks me up!<BR/><BR/>Love the clips! You're right about the shopping thing, too. That was bad--that stuff wasn't attractive even back then and the prices OMG! WAY high even by today's standards...<BR/><BR/>JessicaThe Rock Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653277401124290907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-10617156709000701552008-01-08T12:28:00.000-05:002008-01-08T12:28:00.000-05:00Candy: When Vanna finally does step down/gets repl...Candy: When Vanna finally does step down/gets replaced, I am tempted to apply for the job. I think I can handle the training program where I learn how to touch letters and clap incessantly.<BR/><BR/>That slots game sounds like fun. I hope it wasn't too much money that you gave back. :-)Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-1363798640991799032008-01-08T06:47:00.000-05:002008-01-08T06:47:00.000-05:00Wow, I couldn't believe Sajak was in his 60's.

Actually, because of that I watched his night time talk show while it lasted.<BR/><BR/>I found much of the history really interesting. I remember one time (again on Regis) Vanna said it only takes them something like 5 working days a year to make the show!!! She has the best job!<BR/><BR/>I am not a gambler or slots person...but I admit to enjoying the very new version of the slots game WOF. I was stuck in a boring town last yearand that game in the small town casino9a very nice casino actually in Canada) saved my sanity...won some money felt guilty and gave it back...Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-29064598447992958742008-01-06T21:39:00.000-05:002008-01-06T21:39:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.pjazzyparhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270767809180700095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-64263915652590033892008-01-06T20:35:00.000-05:002008-01-06T20:35:00.000-05:00Holly: Believe it or not, "Wheel of Fortune" is st...Holly: Believe it or not, "Wheel of Fortune" is still the top-rated syndicated show. I don't see that changing anytime soon. <BR/><BR/>To solve a puzzle before any letters are revealed does take some brains in my opinion... if I was wearing one, I would take my hat off to you.<BR/><BR/>X. Dell: When Rolf took over hosting duties I said, "He used to be the kicker for the San Diego Chargers". I guess it wasn't a really good experience for him. According to Wikipedia, he doesn't even like talking about the time he spent hosting the show.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-28000647891258104952008-01-06T19:46:00.000-05:002008-01-06T19:46:00.000-05:00I remember when Rolf Benirschke, the placekicker f...I remember when Rolf Benirschke, the placekicker for the San Diego Chargers, was the host of the show.X.

Of course, like you said, you don't have to be smart to solve hangman puzzles. And, the Jeopardy folks won't be knocking down my door anytime soon...<BR/><BR/>www.mamapj.comHolly Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787479715256277539noreply@blogger.com
