5:23 No one talking about how she forgot to turn a letter 😂

Did anyone catch in round 2, where the lesser known choice of "spin the puzzle" was available? 😂😂 Also, I'm glad the rule of only the winning contestant keeps all their prizes and the other two go home with parting gifts (despite the one buying a motorcycle for her $1050) didn't make it to the actual show... Weird how they didn't explain that at the beginning of the show

After Eddy Byrnes Left the Show for Exchanged for Chuck Woolery and he left in December 1981, Before Pat Sajak will take over Until June 7, 2024!!!?

[@smashwhammy]

Edd was fired, not leaving on his own accord

[@Superlad9494]

​@@smashwhammy because Dr. Stafford diagnosed him "an intoxicated speller"...you can't spin the puzzle.

This game is kinda Kookie... it'll never catch on.

[@jeopardy60611]

The clues for the puzzles are more specific here than what you usually see on the show. In 2024, you will never be told that you are looking for "something good to eat," "a world leader," or "a famous place." Now, they would just give you "FOOD & DRINK," "PERSON," or "PLACE." I also notice that they did not display the clue on the screen with the puzzle board. Of course, being a pilot, they probably don't do everything that the full run show does.

[@Superlad9494]

Shopper's Bazzaar (1973) pilot even had it more challenging, you had to spin to get the clue.

@@Superlad9494 if I remember correctly, the contestant who spun the “Clue” space picked up a phone to hear the clue privately.

Do you know what model of 1975 car was on this?

[@kingsleaze3199]

So they told marge she was invited back as the winner just to not have her?

[@smashwhammy]

pilots are usually self contained, even if it's for a show with returning champions

[@deadwalke9588]

Hey do you happen to have a working download link for Bigjon's wheel of fortune? All the links are dead and they aren't active anymore.

[@smashwhammy]

give me time...

[@kingsleaze3199]

Where the hell did tonya come from??? Marge was the winner of pilot #1

[@Superlad9494]

Pilots didn't have returning champions.

[@kingsleaze3199]

Kinda lame all the prizes are the same

[@heric298]

🤔 Only white people were allowed to play back then ? 🤣🤣

[@Superlad9494]

Nah, the 70's had plenty of various contestants...and Nancy Jones was a black E.P. for a long time.
