(Date is estimated by the commercials in the video.)
Well, this is my first time recapping a shopping episode, should be fun. Let's get started and see what's up for grabs today.
Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes, fabulous and exciting merchandise including:
a $14,000 sports car,
a $24,000 ski boat,
and a $5,000 Swiss holiday.
Over $104,000 just waiting to be won on Wheel of Fortune. Let's see who can get a chunk of that change; here's tonight's contestants:
Marge Schumac: A homemaker with 4 kids who likes to play bingo and bowl in her spare time.
Bill Raicher: A land analyst for a major oil company (Pat compares it to JR from Dallas) who's from Eufaula, AL. In his spare time he likes to golf and play basketball.
Patricia Hesselbach: A piano and voice teacher who studies German. She is also the provider of this episode.
============
ROUND 1:
Top dollar is $1000. Try not to hit bankrupt; if you do, you lose your cash but not your merchandise, because once you buy a prize it's yours to keep. Here's the puzzle:
_ _ _ _ _

$47 goes on an American Express Gift Card

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
FICTIONAL CHARACTER
Not a category you see everyday, it's Fictional Character. She's going to use the trusty RSTLNE (as TLNRSE) and reveals these letters.
_ _ T _ E R
_ _ _ S E
FICTIONAL CHARACTER
All she can come up with is MISTER MOOSE, but it's actually MOTHER GOOSE, at least she still leaves as a winner with $1850.
Pat and Vanna talk about Mister Moose in the closing and that he is a real fictional character from Captain Kangaroo.
Thanks for taking the time to read this recap and I hope to be back soon with more episodes to recap.
