What are some theme weeks you wish they'd do?
Here are a few I thought of. I'm sure I'll think of more later.
50s Week
60s Week
70s Week
80s Week
90s Week: I've always thought the idea of spending an entire week as a tribute to each decade would be fun.
Salute to Soaps: They seriously need to do another celebrity week and a salute to current and past soaps would be awesome!
Alaska Adventure: Why should Hawaii have all the fun? I've always wondered why they've never did an Alaska week. The set would look amazing.

Salute to Normalcy! Absolutely no stupidass theme whatsoever!

^This.
(I do agree with having celebrity weeks again, though.)

Aren't the "America's Game" weeks sort of "normal"? I'd consider them a salute to the days gone by era of Wheel.

Not really. At least one puzzle each show is typically themed to America, hence the week's title.

Retro Week: The shopping wedge needs to live again.
Fast cars week: Bonus prizes that should have some cars of sort.

Go back to what they had in the early 90s! A few themed week throughout the season - like the Red Letter Sweepstakes, Teen Week, Family Week. Other than that, keep it theme free.

It's surely because I'm not in the American culture, but I don't see that the weeks are so themed (apart from one or two puzzles). However, now that it seems that they had left the decades categories, probably a themed week about each decade could be very interesting.

It's DEFINITELY high time for another "Retro Week" !
Some others I came up with and I've ALWAYS loved the different "Celebrity Weeks".
(high time for another) "Soap Stars Week" or "Soap Stars: Battle of the Sexes" (rare 2-player format with on-screen couples battling it out)
"WOF" has never done this and I've always wanted to see one: a "Celebrity Look-Alike" week with Celeb look-alikes playing for charity (Ray Combs' "Family Feud" has done this).
"Music Stars Week" "Classic TV Week" (some Classic TV favorites playing for charity) "Halloween Week": It'd be more fun if Pat & Vanna and the contestants (and Jim Thornton) all dressed up in costume.

Thank you for mentioning about that, I forgot we need another family week that involved union workers like how Season 15-16 had those. |

Oh, union workers? I thought the LOOOOOONG theme name (something like "Wheel Salutes the American Working Family") was just about family - I had no idea it involved union workers. Not a bad thing, just a little surprised.

"Soap Stars: Battle of the Sexes" (rare 2-player format with on-screen couples battling it out) The last time Wheel did a two-player game was April 1, 1997, and even then I'm not sure why they didn't have Charlie playing too (I mean, it's not like he was camera-shy or couldn't snark). Given the show's push for more contestants, I don't think they'll do a Battle of the Sexes week. "WOF" has never done this and I've always wanted to see one: a "Celebrity Look-Alike" week with Celeb look-alikes playing for charity (Ray Combs' "Family Feud" has done this). I know the Karn and O'Hurley eras of Feud also did Celebrity Look-Alike weeks. Don't know about the Dawson '94, Anderson, and Harvey versions. |

This would insane... but if Wheel did an actual calendar years worth of shows and then did a theme week for each of the 50 states + the district of columbia + Puerto Rico... That would be kind of awesome.
