Just so nobody's confused, I merged the thread with the Season 29 taping report into the existing Season 29 thread. No need to have two threads on essentially the same subject.  |

It's another blue $500. Which makes me VERY sad; I liked the $700 wedge alot! So they've changed the color, too? |

I'm the only one happy about the green $500's return?  But I will miss $700 very much, they should've replaced the blue $500 next to the MDW with a blue $700. |

Count me in as another one of those people who miss the $700 wedge. I'm just surprised that the staff had to remove it. It was one of the best three-digit amounts besides $800 and $900.

Maybe wof people like the music blues from the 50's?
Not sure, maybe they don't notice it. Or the unique part of this season. Color your happiness blue?

Here's a sample of what appears to be the Season 29 logo:  Not really much change.  The extra glow looks nice, though. |

It was on the homepage of a casino advertising a Wheelmobile event to be held there soon.

I know the season premiere is only four days away, but I really can hardly wait to ask this change, which I forgot to ask joacen about -- has the font for the prize and contestants' post-BR totals changed? Or is it still the silver typewriter style font for that? And what about the way of presenting the R1 prize? Do they still use the dropping wheel effect?

Anyone notice this on the website:
WHEEL OF FORTUNE'S 29TH SEASON OFFERS MORE WAYS TO WIN, MORE REASONS TO WATCH
Culver City, CA (September 19, 2011) – Fresh off winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show, Wheel of Fortune will kick off its 29th season in syndication, on September 19, with more chances than ever for contestants and viewers to win big.
A new game feature, the "1/2 Car Tag," will give contestants the opportunity to go home with a car, regardless of whether they go to the bonus round. Two "1/2 Car Tags" will appear on the wheel during the first three rounds of play. If a contestant collects both of them, he or she will win a new car.
Also new for Season 29, Jim Thornton will take over the microphone as the official voice of America's No. 1 game show. Thornton comes to the show, after many years as one of the most popular and distinctive voices in Southern California.
At home, viewers will also have the chance to claim big prizes. Later this year, in partnership with Sears, "Wheel" will launch "The Secret Santa Sweepstakes," which promises to be the biggest sweepstakes in the history of the show, giving at-home viewers the chance to win up to $1 million dollars, nightly, just for watching. Wheel of Fortune is also partnering with Sandals for two sweepstakes, each of which will offer the chance to win luxury vacations at Sandals properties.
Throughout Season 29, Wheel of Fortune will continue to celebrate America, by showcasing favorite cities and landmarks as well as honoring its heroes. In March, the producers will be packing up the iconic wheel and puzzleboard to make the show's inaugural trip to Portland, Ore., where four weeks of shows will be taped, set to air in May.
Fans and contestants will also enjoy two new puzzle categories, "Television Quote" and "Movie Quote."
Wheel of Fortune has been the #1 syndicated game show since its inception. With more than 26 million viewers per week, the series continues to attract a larger audience than many primetime television shows.
Wheel of Fortune is produced in High Definition by Sony Pictures Television, a Sony Pictures Entertainment Company. It is distributed domestically by CBS Television Distribution and internationally by CBS Studios International, both units of CBS Corp.

Although nicky put this in the other thread (so a mod who controls this board, delete/merge as you please), from this, we see that the only category brand new to us is "MOVIE QUOTE". I think they would have mentioned trivia here. Talk about what Secret Santa means for scheduling, as well as 99.9% case that Portland is the only road locale, should go in the other thread. Discuss the category changes here. |

I get Wheel at 4:30 on CBC, so I was able to get a head start. Spoiler alert: (REMOVED)

With the new season here, I think discussion can be moved to the appropriate recap threads. No need for this thread anymore.
