The title says all.
Well, Season 16 is more likely that I got into Wheel in the first place.

I'm pretty sure I've watched it all my life. Definitely remember early Mystery and watching some of the old reruns on GSN, so you could argue Seasons 21 or 6, but I think I really got into the show in Season 24, with the road trip solidifying it.

I watched sporadically before season 25 but that was the first season that really got me hooked and I started making my first homemade wheel for at-home games. To this day, season 25 is still my favorite.

My earliest recollection of watching regularly was either during Season 10 or 11, really early in my life.
I vaguely remember watching an episode in first run where for the Final Spin, Pat had to spin the wheel 4 times. I remember the title screen from this era, though I don't think I ever saw the Season 7-9 title screens or even the original green W-H-E-E-L envelope holder. Whenever a $500 bonus was earned, it always played the puzzle solve cue. They did not say that Wheel was produced by Columbia-TriStar yet.
I know I also watched it along with Jeopardy!, but it wasn't early enough for me to remember Darryl Scott (my dad still remembers a contestant who won Jeopardy! with $1).

I think I’ve pretty much watched Wheel since birth, but the earliest season I remember was season 20.

I think I’ve pretty much watched Wheel since birth, but the earliest season I remember was season 20. Same here. Looking back, I think it was the set that really intrigued me. I remember being very disappointed after they upgraded to the current neon design. |

For me, my earliest memories of the show would probably be Season 9 or 10-ish (I remember seeing some of the puzzles having red letters, and wondering why), that and getting the Tyco home games of Wheel and Jeopardy for Christmas one year. I also vaguely remember Season 14, and wondering why Lose A Turn had changed from yellow to white. But what got me truly hooked would be my first time getting GSN (around 2000 or 2001) and seeing their then-current Season 7 lease.

Season 10. It was January of 1993 when I got into the show. The Wheel's colors were all it took. So it should be no  that my fan-made adaption of Wheel is based off of elements of the season that not only got me into the show but the season of when I got into the show. |

^Season 10 is my 2nd favorite season. The opening sequence is the absolute best of the series!

Probably season 24. I remember that was the first season that I watched (I was little back then).

Although I loved the show since I was a kid in the mid-80’s, I have to definitely say it was Season 14 (1996-97) that got me hooked! From the Theme Weeks, to the different backdrops, the transition from the old to new puzzleboard, this season was unique and very exciting in my opinion.

I’ve been watching wheel all of my life but the season that sticks out to me is season 7. I feel that season was when the show was put on the map officially. Music, sound cues and the audience during that season was magical to me as a kid.

Season 14 for me since that was when my favorite wedge made its debut until the end of season 30.

I remember first getting into Wheel in 1982 watching the daytime version although it’s very possible I watched the show before then. So I think this means I watched episodes of the syndicated version when they originally aired every season it has existed. #iamold

I vaguely remember watching the tail end of Season 13 because I noticed the $500 wedge next to Bankrupt in Round 4 changed from red to green, but I was hooked by Season 14, then watched it kind of on-again/off-again for the next few years because I was so upset that they changed the board since I adored the manual board's border and the generic backdrops that they scrapped around the same time.

I started watching around Season 10. My mom and I would go visit an elderly couple when I was 5, and we'd watch Jeopardy!, Wheel, and Crook and Chase's talk show on the Nashville Network. Sometimes we'd watch Hot Country Nights too.
However, I didn't become a regular watcher until Season 20.

My mom plopped me in front of the TV with Wheel on, and it had to be the end of Season 11. Because I distinctly remember the dancing wedges in the opening. And I was hooked ever since!
