Season 2 - (Milt/Fran/Stuart) recap

Airdate: Jan-Feb 1985 (after Judy/Tim/Iris)

Look at this studio filled with glamorous and imaginative gifts!

Over $124,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel Of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Milt Gordon: Retired from law, active in community theater and public readings, Grants Pass, OR
Fran Brown: Has four children, is a group sales director for a summer theater, Needham, MA
Stuart Spear: Accounting student at Tulane, is from Houston, TX

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!


Perfection! Milt solves SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY.



Tonight's prize is a Dicker and Dicker mink jacket (labeled FUR) worth $4,500.


Double perfection! Fran solves YOU'RE MAKING ME NERVOUS.



Finally, Stuart can spin. If he hits $5,000, it will certainly be worth it!


Milt solves HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE. With extra on-account money, he's up to $2,354 for this errand.



We don't have much time left for On-Account Playhouse, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $300 a piece. Milt?

Milt: T (x3) ($900)
Fran: S ($300)

Briefly, Milt is accidentally credited with $9,000 instead of the proper $900.

Fran solves SALT LAKE CITY UTAH. With on-account money, she can spend up to $313.



I bet Stuart was thinking of putting leftover money on a gift certificate. He's leaving with some nice parting gifts.





BONUS ROUND:

Milt looks at the prizes and picks...

Greek Isle Cruise ($7,850).

The final puzzle is...

Milt, of all people, defaults to RSTLNE:

He guesses HORSE RACE at the start, but does not get to MORSE CODE.

He still leaves with plenty of prizes totalling $5,171.
