Now we all know what Wheel looked like in 2012. Prizes and tokens offering a face value of $500, cash replacing trips as something to offer loyal viewers, and did I mention the return of that 70's friend $650?

Well, here's a taste of what Samsung thought Wheel was going to look like in 2012 when they made this for their VCR's back in 1988.

Boy, this ad is pretty dated, isn't it?

Did You Know? - Over 240 BAV members have been winners on Wheel, taking a total of over $8,000,000 out the door. Josh Woo has the stats here.
