I get a "Page Not Found" on the usual site. Did they remove whatever that link was for?

I kinda like the way the new site looks. It looks more modern. I love the added touch of the timeline.

It's the amount of seconds that the contestant has to make their move, which is always 5 seconds. Pat will often say that he doesn't want contestants to be "buzzed out" if they just stand there in silence and don't do anything, and that's what happens if the timer reaches 0. |

One thing I don't like... the "Upcoming Weeks" page seems to no longer exist - which means it will be hard to determine future theme weeks, as TV listings only go out a couple weeks at a time.

Except for early this season, Zap2It usually lists theme names well before they air. Anyway, I really like the new site.  It looks like they are now showing the next Wheelmobile location and they have merged "Face of the Fan" with the regular contestant application. The coloring pages are a nice idea, and the wallpapers are fantastic. Very thoughtful of Wheel to include Charlie O'Donnell in them in addition to Jim. I like the timeline. It has a lot of cool pictures from over the years and I love how it actually starts at 1975 with a staff photo I'm pretty sure nobody here has seen before. More like deliberately switching shows to make it look like a miracle!  |

Though I don't recall the last time I actually saw a buzz-out of that sort... |

I'm glad they started with 1975. If they started with the eighties, I would've been really ticked.
For Pat's Star on the Walk of Fame, I don't know what's amiss; the fact they didn't use his real name? What?

...Unless I missed something, the videos section is gone.  I do like the coloring pages, although Vanna looks creepy. The logo, though...might be fun to try and put a classic Wheel layout on there.  As for the timeline, I didn't see that coming. The staff photo is pretty nice (although I would've definitely preferred a full-size shot, not only because it's 1975 Wheel but also as a great juxtaposition between the beginning of the run and Season 30), but while reading it I got a slight feeling that someone tried to massively condense the History Wiki and kinda failed in a few spots: -...Charlie joined in 1976? Dafuq? Then who was announcer in 1975? -The ceramic Dalmatian debuted in 1980? Uh...no. At least March 1978, thanks. -Yeah, celebrities still play on Wheel for charity despite there being no such instances since 2007.  -They mention Chuck in passing, but not Susan? Also not mentioned: the 1973-74 pilots. Not much exploring to do, I'm afraid. Finally, within Harry's profile is this quote: ...I'm not sure how to respond to this statement, although there's about half a dozen responses floating in my head. |

The film camera (indicating a movie star) where a TV set (indicating a television performer) should have been. Compare his star to Vanna's (which is set up correctly) and you should notice the difference.
ETA: In the January 1975 photo, isn't that Nancy front and center? (Well, front row, third from the left)

I'm curious to know who everybody is in that shot -- I'm pretty sure two of the guys are John Rhinehart and John Lauderdale, and Mark Corwin might be in there as well. I also have the feeling that person (male?) visible behind the host's railing is another staff member. Like I said before, it's a nice photo. I just wish it was a bit bigger and wasn't partially covered up, but I'll take what I can get. |

Since it's not a spoiler I don't think they'll mind me saying that during the closing of one of the College Week shows, they'll put a camera on the ULB and Pat and Vanna will talk about it for a few moments before signing off (not my show).

Also glad to see they resurrected FOTF exclusive to Wheel. I'm guessing that was the only show it had traction on.

I see the difference on Pat's Star now that you mention it Bryce. Even so, I thought I heard he starred in some films too. I could be wrong. Still, I can imagine the fact that his Star is next to Jack Parr's Star is more important to him. I don't think Pat would be where he is now if it wasn't for Jack Parr.

Neat photo. What's with the extra category monitor on the left? Plus lousan92, you forgot to post the link to the font. |
