They should've left Jeopardy!'s closing alone and made Wheel of Fortune's closing more like Jeopardy!'s by putting the copyright screen after the Merv Griffin Enterprises and KingWorld logos. They wouldn't have to change the closing spiel itself.
I don't think this is a GSN tape. If it was, then the Columbia-Tristar Television logo (with Charlie O'Donnell's voiceover) would be plastered over the KingWorld one.
Also, even though it was in the fall of 1992 that J! began adding the bongos mix to the theme song, they still used the regular 1984-92 J! theme (minus the bongos mix) when they were going into commercial in the early 1992-93 season eps.
Mid-late '92. I believe it was late '92 that they started using the "drumroll during the copyright screen" (Wheel's closing always began with "Merv Griffin Enterprises produces...")
I miss this King World logo, when this episode was reran early on in the Dark Period and in May 1998 on the weekend rotation, the end of the episode fee plugs were left intact but both the ticket plug and the KW logo was replaced with either the "Boxes of Boredom" or Sony Pictures TV logo.

I prefer this outro over the other one with the drumroll during the copyright screen. It's too creepy for me.
samsticka 3 years ago
Yeah, but we can no longer see them.
Unless GSN decides to be really generous or if they goof up.

They don't even show the end credits anymore.
samsticka 3 years ago
In this show, at least.
There are a few non-GSN original shows that they let run the whole credits.
Heck, when they aired the Super Password finale last year, they aired the credits in full.

Yeah, in the description for Part 1, the uploader said it was from the original broadcast. What made you think I think it's from GSN.
Hondo20132 3 years ago
Because I didn't see a GSN logo on here. That's why I thought that.

Because Columbia-TriStar Television distributed the reruns of both WOF & J! to GSN

I have no clue.

Wow, never seen that Kingworld logo before!

Same here. GSN plastered over that logo w/the Columbia-TriStar Television "Boxes of Boredom" logo on reruns.

On October 19th, 1992, the outros of both shows changed.
