I need to take my mind off of what is going to happen this week. Have another recap, because I found this episode on the 21st, and don't know how much longer it will be up for.
From Season 6, it's the September 6, 1988 episode!
Look at this studio, filled with glamorous merchandise! Fabulous and exciting bonus prizes, including: Sculptured dangling diamond loop ear clips, worth $39,000! A wonderful 25 foot Regal Embassador Cabin Cruiser! And as an extra wheel prize, a pair of dome, crystal cars! Plus thousands of dollars in cash, over $266,000 just waiting to be won on Wheel of Fortune! Now, here's your host, Pat Sajak!
(Pat plugs that they are packing up in a few weeks to film in Radio City.)
