Season 37 Taping/Airing Schedule

So, does that mean that they'll still air Week of Fun!, just without a sweepstakes promotion?

I'm sure that they still will air the episodes. Wheel is syndicated, so it's not like Price or Let's Make a Deal where they could just pull an episode because something happened between taping and airing (Price did this last season once due to a trip to Dominican Republic being offered and was rescheduled) and replace it with a rerun and air it at a later date.

So... we know Surfin' Safari taped on March 13 without an audience, and assuming GAC: San Fran taped March 12, the last two tapings before suspending production, episodes have been filmed through at least May 1. The only show from AG4 where we don't know the set yet is the Thursday show; it was likely Leave Winter Behind, unless Girlfriend Getaways has a sixth episode waiting in the wings, but that seems unlikely given when the other known AG4 shows were taped; GG likely would have aired during AG3 if one was taped.

Assuming both GAC:SF and SS taped six episodes, that leaves two leftover America's Game episodes; the last tapings with an audience were for UK Getaway week, and the AG show for that airs during AG4, just before the week itself. If Wheel has to break out more reruns, they may have to put those two extra episodes in a week with three reruns.

If production does not continue in time for the end of the season, Season 37 will have 167 episodes produced, 28 short of the usual.

If the Father's Day week was taped, then this would be the first known time where Wheel taped in Culver City on a Saturday. Are you sure you didn't mean April 3?

^Okay, I asked that because I couldn't find that news. Tomorrow's tapings likely would have been for Passport to Adventure, had they took place. Father's Day week likely was scheduled to be the Season Finale week. April 8 and 9 likely would have been for Margaritaville Family Week and whatever week that was scheduled to air on June 1-5 (that probably would have been Wheel Around the World, given the fact we haven't had that theme this season).

Have a buddy that was going to tape here soon. Any idea if those that had their tape dates suspended will tape when production picks back up (whether it's Season 37 or 38) or if it's a stroke of extremely bad luck and they're out?

This schedule given to affiliates shows that the week of May 4-8, which was supposed to be an Aulani-sponsored Mother's Day week that did not get the chance to tape, will be reruns of Season 36's America's Game I from November 5-9, 2018. This is yet another 1/5 week with a $100K loss on Friday. Note that the reruns do have their original numbers, but the "current" numbers are skipped over. This was also the case with the Christmas week reruns earlier this season. This means that there are no episodes numbered 7096-7100, and further if the pulled weeks are given new numbers if they eventually air.

The Wednesday episode reran on 9/14/19 as the first Saturday rerun of this season. Tuesday's episode originally aired on Election Day and was pre-empted in several West Coast markets and a few East Coast ones as well. Thursday's episode, airing during NFL season, was of course not seen on most FOX affiliates. Friday's episode never aired in the San Francisco market because KGO had been airing Wheel on a one-day-delay after Election Day, then pulled Saturday's airing at the last minute. If the ABC World News Tonight repeats on the O&O's continue for Wheel's other rerun weeks, the 11/9/18 episode may be pre-empted twice on KGO.

Xfinity listings confirm that GAC: San Fran is still airing as scheduled.

I’m not sure why they don’t just use the extra episode of Surfin’ Safari tomorrow instead of the UK episode.
