hello Peter, back in 1988, Wheel in central Iowa aired at 6:30 pm on KCCI-TV Channel 8, now as of 2016, it is on WHO-TV Channel 13. I've always been a Wheel fan, thanks for the video!

I live in Maryland too and used to watch Wheel on WMAR. Seeing the ads, watching Wheel from its glory days, and hearing Ken Phillips with the familiar WMAR jingle takes me back to my childhood. Thanks a million for uploading this and I hope the money helped with the kids' tuition! :)

I miss this old version Wheel Of Fortune as well. At the same time, I also wish that they would put larger and more 4-digit dollar amount wedges on the wheel: like a $3,000, $4,000, $4,500, $6,500, $7,500, $8,500, and $9,000 space, and some regular, spendable 5-digit, dollar amount wedges on the wheel as well: like a $10,000, $15,000, and a $20,000 space! Someone could accumulate a 6- figure dollar amount in the 4th round: especially to catch up with the other 2 players! It would be so cool to see someone win the main game with $200,000 or more, before the bonus round. Also, I think that they should add a $2,000,000 and $5,000,000 wedge, bonus round prize to the wheel. They could put the $2,000,000 wedge on the wheel in round 2, and the $5,000,000 wedge on the wheel in round 3. Of course, as with the $1,000,000 wedge, the $2,000,000 and $5,000,000 wedges would also be Bankrupt space-wrapped. Just like the $1,000,000 wedge, the $2,000,000 and $5,000,000 wedges would be payable over 20 years, or as one lump sum after taxes.

1988 was also the year that RSTLNE was packaged into bonus puzzles beforehand, the year that the shopping era stopped, and the year announcer Jack Clark died.

Why would he choose to play for $25,000? He could have played for the car which is worth over $40,000 and then sell it for the money. Or even better play for that diamond necklace which was worth $62,000 and then sell it. Would have made so much more money.

His wife might have wanted to keep those, though. Imagine you choose the diamond necklace and she says: "You got that for me! Darling!" This way it's nice and clear. $25000 - worth significantly more back then - to pay for the kids' college like he said.

B/C everybody wanted that cash. Which is why starting with the 1989-90 season it would go to picking one of five envelopes on a stand with the word WHEEL. These days you have the small wheel to spin up an envelope and it could be worth up to $100,000 or even...A MILLION DOLLARS...not to mention cash and a car or two.

Not if he could afford the Taxes on the car itself to boot. That’s still a very common issue on game shows. We still have people today who win a car on The Price is Right and end up having to decline it because the taxes are too steep.

For my reasons the letters became a common staple since 1981 when Pat debut during Teen Week and it may had helped or bust out chances for prizes. By 1988 between MG Kelley's gig to the return of Charlie O'Donnell, RSTLNE became starting letters with extra help of 3cs/1vwl and reduced the guessing time. It's worth noting that with the debut of the new method of the bonus round, Same Name became a new category before 1989 when that new season introduced the Ampersand (&). Lot of history to dig into.

+Alexander Edward Pytko There were times when round 4 would be played with $3,500 - I could never figure out when that would occur...I am betting now that if round 4 is in the same act as round 3 (no commercial break in between), the $3,500 is played again. I think that would prevent contestants from trying to breeze through round 3 too quickly just to get to the $5,000 round, to play a bunch of those. Today, it seems they can't even get far enough into round 4/$5,000 without running out of time!

Alexander Edward Pytko During the month of cash (which became permanent), round 1 was $1000, round 2 was $2500. Rounds 3 and 4 were $3500 with round 5 and more played at $5000. A few games got to 6 rounds.

Even in the 90's, they'd play round 4 with the $3500 wheel. It really depended on how much time it took the first three rounds to run.
