KSDK Goes Behind the Scenes

I remember Sheldon. I guess that dates me, too.

Thanks for the links, Mario.

Awesome find, Mario! Can't wait till I'm a school so I can watch them!

At least the last two videos had insanely-low audio. My computer audio and speaker audio were up to max plus the video player's audio...and it was still barely audible!

* The behind-the-scenes video was kind of lame, especially since they didn't bother explaining why the first close took three tries.

* Pat is, as usual, pretty light-hearted and candid about his role.

* Herr von Friedman's responsible for making sure Wheel never gets stale?! HA!

(Seriously, though -- offering nothing but trips/cars/cash gets old, and so does the Trip Puzzle being What Are You Doing? with gratuitous phraseology more than 90% of the time {the fact that the Prize Puzzle graphic has used globes and compasses in the past seems to be them noting the fact and saying "We don't care."}.

Also, having a theme for every single week; it's okay to just play the game {and no, "America's Game" doesn't count} with no gimmicks or theme to string the puzzles together.)

* Being co-admin of the History Wiki and a lover of all things classic about Wheel, I decided to save the "Hall of Fame" video for last as a sort of reward. Other than a mention of the show's actual debut year and full name-drops of Chuck and Susan (yay!), there wasn't too much to get excited about -- certainly nothing I could use on the Wiki.

The Jackpot wedge is the ninth design (2006-08).

If somebody's gone to the Hall of Fame and could post some high-quality close-ups of that stuff, I'd appreciate it.

* Final Thought: Overall, pretty lame.

MarioGS: Please do not make remarks like that towards show staff. Who knows if they lurk these boards every now and then?
-Understood, sir.

I didn't expect them to since at least three Secret Santa episodes were rescheduled from the airdates given in-studio. There's also that inexplicable dubbing obsession last season which some fans (including myself) yelled pretty loudly about; I'm fully aware of the Charlie tribute party they had back in July, but why haven't they shared the video shown during it?

(Then again, I never expected the show to admit that line at the bottom of my signature, but they did.)


The funny thing is, I addressed this directly to the show's Twitter account on October 26 and they never replied. Furniture, boats, motorcycles, spas, artwork, pianos, annuities, computers, high-tech packages, precious metals, jewelry, etc. would help greatly to, among other things, make the Prize Puzzle and Mystery Round offer something different and return variety to the Bonus Round (where it's been lacking since at least 2001).

Another problem is that Wheel looks like all the other million-dollar game shows with sparse, dark sets; it doesn't help that they ditched "Changing Keys" and the concept of returning players long ago.

(On a side note, I'm curious to know whether Wheel's aware of the History Wiki, and what they think about it.)

Justin, you have bumped 2 threads that are both several months old since they've had their last posts. Please refrain from doing so unless you have relevant important information to share. Thank you.
