More specifically, it's "TV's Most Influential Shows From The Past 50 Years, With One Show Per Year". And in turn, Wheel's been influenced by the big-money primetime game shows into...well, what it's been for quite some time now. At least they put it in the right spot of 1975, which is always nice to see.

Also, this:

"We really wanted to put Doctor Who top of the list. But as the BBC wouldn't give us the rights to show a clip on the website, we had to replace it with Astro Boy, which was created in the same year.

"It was a great shame. UK viewers may also be disappointed we couldn't include Top of the Pops, which obviously had a massive impact. Sadly we couldn't persuade the BBC to change their minds."

You didn't have to replace it. That made me think of GSN's 50 Greatest Game Shows and the hoopla from all their questionable choices.
