This recap will be my 70th recap on the board, and I thought I'd return to a tradition where I cover an episode that is rather interesting, or peculiar. Enjoy!
WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
Opening:
Don Pardo: “From Radio City Music Hall in New York City, it's America's number one game show! Audience: “Wheel of Fortune!” With this sensational high-performance Regal Boat! Diamonds, diamonds and more diamonds! Plus: Not one, but two luxurious Cadillac automobiles!
Over $268,000 dollars in cash and prizes just waiting to be won tonight as the Wheel takes Manhattan! And now here's your host: Pat Sajak!”
Before Vanna enters and Pat interviews the contestants, he has George & Bob (The organ players who have been playing Changing Keys during the opening), play the Baseball charge theme.
Introductions:
Martha Cruise Griffith – From Port Chester, New York. An ordained minister that has served the congregation for three years. Has been married for six and a half years with two children, William who is three and a half, and Catherine who is 21 months.
Linda – From Cincinnati, Ohio. A newlywed, just married in April of 1988. A technician for a major manufacturing company. Likes to boat on the Ohio River, Cook and Sew.
Willie Brown – From Lamont, Pennsylvania near Philadelphia. Has three sons. Works for a major corporation, at the “Heights”.
