Many of us have our favorite moments from WHEEL OF FORTUNE over the years we just can't tell them all. So let's talk about some of our favorite moments from WHEEL over the years.
One of my favorite moments is the "Pie in the Face" episode when Vanna throws a pie in Pat's face and then Pat "strikes back" at Vanna by throwing a pie in her face. You know that was an episode I've asked many people on Youtube before Sony acted crazy by taking most of the episodes down. lol
So what are some of your favorites?

My favourites are the 'Group of Pill Pushers' moment and when Pat's pants fell off during the conclusion of an 80s episode.

The "Pill Pushers" moment was pretty funny! Some of my other favorites are the "Strawberry Lip Girls" moment, when the contestants couldn't pronounce "Regis Philbin & Kelly Ripa", the one where Pat revealed he was "bald", and the million dollar win.

Some of my favorites include: -The San Francisco bonus round where Vanna and Pat switch places
-A post bonus round from the late 90s where Pat jumps into the back seat of the car that the contestant had won
-The three contestants that were contestants on Pat's first show appearing at the end of the show on the December 24, 2007 (I think that's the date) episode
-Pat cutting Vanna's hair

When you mentioned Pat jumping into the backseat of a car won by a contestant, I think I remember seeing an episode similar to that one if it's not the same one. I remember seeing the end of an episode either in 1991 or 1992 with Pat, Vanna, and a Contestant riding a van or a motorhome when it was won in the Bonus Round.
Another favorite moment was Mickey and Minnie Mouse making a cameo appearance at the end of an episode when they arrived from behind the Puzzleboard.

Was that the one where the contestant screamed, "Come on in, Vanna!!" as Pat jumped head-first into the convertible that the contestant won? I'm pretty certain that would've been the one you were talking about.
Personally, my favorite moment was when the Jackpot as we know it today was first won back in 1996. Ever since the Jackpot round premiered, my bratty, six-year-old self wanted to see that thing won so badly! That round was worth $5000 worth of green eggs and ham by the gentleman who got "Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss" with just the Rs revealed. I still remember the narrow-lettered Bankrupt still on the wheel at the time as that was also the first time I saw anyone land on that dead-center like landing on the $10,000/Million Dollar Wedge. I still remember pretty much every single detail of that round, but if only I could still see that episode again.

I think that may be the one. But the only way to find out what year it was, is to see the actual episode. That is if anyone happens to have it in their collection. lol
Another favorite moment was in 1992 at the end when Pat and Vanna are in the spa together. lol

Can anyone remember the time when Pat and Vanna were followed by Mickey and Minnie Mouse upon their introductions at one point?

Well a friend of my passed away father, named John used to be an executive for NBC back in 1973. He was one of the guys who approved the pilot in the first place. I was in the studio audience with my dad back then and I was excited to see the gams and what not. I don't remember the contestants or the puzzles but i do know they had a letter turner and Chuck would spin a carnival-based wheel that had different ammounts of money.
Good times back.

FWIW, gscentral.net's Wheel of Fortune page has info on the Shopper's Bazaar pilot also.

Please, does Shopper's Bazaar pilot still exist somewhere?
I'm certain about the 1974 pilot (since part of it was seen on Wheel's 3000th episode) and the 1975 premiere episode (since part of that was seen on THS), but what about the first 1973 pilot? Please tell me it's still somewhere! Please don't tell me it was taped over or destroyed!

If I'm right, the Shoppers Bazaar pilot exists in the GSN library. How they have it and NBC doesn't amazes me.
