RIP A.X 😰

[@C21L01]

Those Phillips car radios @3:34 must've been standard in Fords from the early 1990s. My Dad's old car had the exact same radio-cassette player in it. He, he! They were worthless to thieves because you need the computer code in order to use it... the minute you unplug it from the car battery, it resets and only someone with the code could unlock and program it. Every single one had a unique code so you couldn't cross match two different codes and hope to crack it. 😉 Same it packed it in just before the car finally died. Was a great car. 😢😢😢

[@7120Magnum]

Common in a lot of poverty-pack vehicles in Australia. Even made its way into the Holden’s VG Ute when Holden brought the ute back in 1990.

[@Samshologram]

Watching this was strangely satisfying 👍🏽

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

MR.MAGIC JOHN BURGESS AND ADRIANA XENIDES MADE IT VERY SPECIAL AND ENTERTAINING FROM 1984 - 1996 - SAD THAT ADRIANA DIED SO YOUNG AT AGE 54 ON THE 7.JUNE 2010 ! JOHN BURGESS JUST MADE A NEW "SMITH'S SPIN TO WIN TV AD" ABOUT A MONTH AGO - HE STILL LOOKS MUCH YOUNGER THAN HIS 75 YEARS - WE LOVE YOU JOHN ! RIP ADRIANA !

[@brendanhartzer5712]

21:23 top dollar sound Australian Wheel of fortune from 1981 until 2006

[@stupendous1068]

This has to be towards the end of the 1992 season, because I distinctly remember the old set still being in use for most of 1992.

[@JamesJimmaHarding]

I'll take a stab in the dark and guess it was either September 21st or 28th, 1992 when the set was revamped. Some people speculated it to be September 14th, 1992 because that was the week that Burgo and Adriana appeared on the American version, however there used to be a promo on here for the episode that aired on September 16th, 1992 (The Wednesday episode that week) and they still appeared to have the old set. But they definitely had the new set by October, as there is part of an episode on here from the week of October 19th-23rd 1992, and by then, the set had been revamped

[@derhampaul2182]

Gee 1992 I'm 52 now I don't know how old I was back then

[@thefonzkiss]

This is like a parody, the hosts look like they’re wearing plastic wigs.

[@pauljordan4452]

John actually wears a wig. Sorry - early 90s hairstyles.

[@Battledongus]

Adrianna

[@kieraingeaney6437]

birth year for me but i do remember Adri from the late 90s

[@kieraingeaney6437]

if Adriana took her top off today in 2019 imagine all the little babies that would get offended

[@edstar83]

She passed away in 2010.

[@kieraingeaney6437]

edstar83 Duh....,🙄

[@thatchick8796]

I think it was more johns comments that would be objected to these days..

[@oskroskroskroskr]

These days John would be wearing a bra and swirling the letters.

[@kieraingeaney6437]

oskroskroskroskr too true too true

[@markyconfident]

Deb was NOT fukin around !

[@glassonion7582]

hard to believe this is not on air in 2024 all we seem to do now is import american shows

[@pixl8me]

What a beautiful holiday!

[@robives9155]

Adriana, this was always on in the background while mum was cooking dinner.

[@AchtungBaby77]

You too? Amazing memories. Never thought I'd get nostalgic over gameshows.

[@ewtwetrwerwteet]

Ah the 90s.. when it was so easy to impress people! even the prizes are lame. $500 bucks for a clock and $84 for a god damn coffee plunger, and $6600 for a basic 7 day boat holiday. No wonder my parents over pay for everything! WTF!!!!!!! RIPPED OFF BLIND

[@Inaworldoflove]

Yeah we are lucky now with better prices. Things were dearer then but rent and house prices were cheaper so people could spend $30 on a CD or $1000 for Stereo system.

[@ozgeek81]

It was the 90's. Many things that are ancient by today's standards was "awe-wow!" back in the old dys. Now they are commonplace and perhaps even found at reject shops.

[@JamesJimmaHarding]

Anyone know the exact date the new set was brought in? I know it was definitely either September or October 1992 - I remember seeing a promo on here for the episode that aired on September 16, 1992 and it still had the old set (though the black and white contestant nametags and the buzzer sound you can see/hear in this episode had been there since late 1991) but it definitely had the new set by October.

13:14 Most Painful Bankrupt Whistle Ever!

[@andymate2006]

What would Nelson from The Simpsons say? HAHA

[@MetzgermeisterBG]

The wheel is really quiet and takes forever to stop spinning. At least vowels are worth only 50 bucks.

[@mazza685]

I hit the damn post with the final puzzle, had the first two words around the wrong way..... Bugger.....

[@BomberFletch31]

I was 11 years old in 1992. This was part of my regular evening TV. Family Feud on 9, then Wheel of Fortune and Seven Nightly News on 7, then Sale of the Century on 9.

[@Iggywiggywoo]

What do you think? Does John look like a baby?

[@pauljordan4452]

According to Wikipedia, he started as a radio announcer and was the youngest announcer in the station. Hence, 'Baby' John Burgess.
