An almost perfect quality 1985 episode of everyone's favorite game of RSTLNE. Jack Clark announces this nighttime shopping episode.

Play it from 16:26 if you want to hear one of the more sublime prize music pieces, featuring the great Jack Sheldon on trumpet. All the music on Wheel during this period was written by Merv Griffin and played by the musicians who worked on his talk show.

I remembered watching this game show. This is one of my favorite game shows along with Jeopardy.

[@alexanderpytko5394]

At 1:15, if you look carefully, you can see the puzzle board being wheeled on stage in the reflection of the red circle behind Don.

[@MorganNye]

I see it!

[@dominicking5181]

Pre-9/11 stuff.😎

[@davidfischer6923]

I love classic game shows

[@trevorpanno516]

Elaine would be watching “Wheel of Fortune” on WEWS since she’s from the Cleveland area.

[@millenniumman75]

7:29 - Let's Make a Deal used these!

[@GAME-SHOW-FAN]

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD GET MORE THEN ONE FREE SPIN!

[@Nickrj3]

This is probably why they changed it to just one free spin in 1989.

[@MorganNye]

I knew it

[@millenniumman75]

It's happened a couple of times. Way in the beginning, there was a Buy a Vowel space. If you didn't have enough money, you lost your turn!

[@MorganNye]

@@millenniumman75 I knew that

[@millenniumman75]

He had a bunch of them just in case lol.

$100,000 in 1985 is now worth almost $290,000 today

[@Angie2343]

If I was on the show, I wouldn't buy anything.

[@zacharyellis3001]

Sadly I don't think you had a choice to just keep the cash. I am pretty sure you had to do the shopping.

[@Angie2343]

@@zacharyellis3001 They had a gift card option.

[@zacharyellis3001]

I did not know that. Unless it was a Service Merchandise Gift Card

[@jaredjlinden]

You have to buy something. Or else they will send you packing off to Tic Tac Dough or some other second-tier game show.

Looking for a previously uploaded episode where a guy hugs and dances with Vanna after winning a new car. I'm pretty sure it's from the mid 80s

[@jmiller297]

He even hugged Pat! Lolol

[@williamseaman176]

Is Margot the Free Spin lady? I can’t find the episode where a lady landed on the Free Spin wedge five or six times. It used to be on KZbin, but I can’t find it anywhere. Can someone please send me a link to the episode?

[@johnm4669]

The wheel spins very slowly in the intro

[@MorganNye]

Yes

[@corvus2327]

I miss the self spinning wheel.

[@anthonyholmes195]

I like the theme & the buzzer best

This week I going back into the vault for best woman win because of Father's day week on season 38s WHEEL of fortune.

[@matthewcasiglio2539]

If I remember correctly 1985 was the 1st time wheel 🎡 of fortune 🔮 was distributed by king 👑👣 world 🌎🌍

[@averyj.thedefinitivegill455]

That’s 1984

[@drummingdanny84]

​@averyj.thedefinitivegill455 August 1983 is, actually, when King World Productions oversaw the distribution of "Wheel of Fortune".

[@GCBlues45]

Why did Eline not go for car when she went shopping.

[@KDJW5]

I wonder what is the background music at 6:35?

[@MontoyaGamer1_Entertainment]

Commodore 64 is seen

[@biruss]

why didn't Margo buy another vowel in round 2?

[@biruss]

She had 2 possiblities and 3 free spins. She deserved to lose

[@GCBlues45]

Margo,could took the couch for 1799 & left with $1 to put on a gooci gifts certificate

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

I can't stress that enough; nighttime Wheel of Fortune was EERIE before Toss-Ups.

[@MorganNye]

Does that mean it was boring?

[@jmiller297]

Ummm... *This* was when *"Wheel of Fortune"* was at its *very best,* dude. What are you, like... *9??*

[@MorganNye]

@@jmiller297 no, I will not mention my age but I was born in 2001 and the show became better when the toss ups started.

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

@@jmiller297 No offense to the iconic 1980s _Wheel of Fortune_ episodes, but Toss Ups just added to the long-admired essence of the show.

wow. a hundred pounds in six months and "constantly on a diet" both sound really unhealthy to me. it hasn't even been forty years yet, though - i hope he's still happy and healthy. adding just an hour and a half of aerobic exercise per week can help prevent cardiovascular disease and stroke.

I do 90 minutes a day on my recumbent bike.

[@brockreynolds870]

That bracelet is gaudy and ugly for such an expensive piece. Vanna's jumpsuit is ugly, too... the gathering around the bodice is a just a hot mess.

it's the 80s for ya

[@MorganNye]

@@biruss well thankfully in the late 90s they fixed that, and I was born in 2001.
