It's Mother's Day Weekend and it's a Friday episode, as Pat says, so with Mother's Day on 5/8 in 1988, the airdate is 5/6/1988 |

Jayne/Joan/Dottie (Day 2 - $10,000). Jackpot: $10,000. Pat notes that Charlie O'Donnell is "sitting in for Jack Clark this week"...though I doubt Jack returned due to his declining health (there's a nighttime clip from '88 out there where Jack does the replacement fee plugs and barely sounds like his normal self). I'm quickly learning that daytime Wheel had several Jackpot cutaway graphics that were...weird. This one is of a cartoony forest with a leprachaun sliding down a rainbow to a pot of gold while "a goofy sound effect" plays. Puzzles, just in case this goes down: Phrase: MUCH TO MY SURPRISE
Thing: EXACT DUPLICATE
Phrase: WHISTLING IN THE DARK
Things: PLACE MATS (goes to Speed-Up)
*Bonus Round* Phrase: NOT A PRETTY SIGHT (played for a Shelby Lancer worth $19,520; RSTLNE picked) As for game and Bonus Round outcomes: Joan wins a total of $22,420 (including the car) and will return Monday, where the Jackpot will be $11,000. Vanna notes that it's Mother's Day weekend, to which Pat says Happy Mother's Day, so yeah definitely 5/6/88. Also, hey, a Ticket Plug and full credit roll! On a side note, there's a Scrabble promo at the 11:50 mark: it's Stork Week this week, with expectant parents playing. Never heard of this one before, though it definitely helps with my research and confirms that the original microphones were still in use on 5/6/88 (they became black by 9/9/88). |
