[PTH4Fun]

[PTH4Fun]

@eipecara Where does that pilot excist?

[mediadude08]

P.S. This is the Wheel of Fortune cue, the Merv Griffin's Crosswords theme music was remixed.

[1soniccool]

@mediadude08 Yes is was remixed for Crosswords and this show aired when Mr. Griffin died in 2007 when the show air. Wheel and Jep are still on TV.

[mediadude08]

"Buzzword" is just the name of the tune that was used as a prize cue on Wheel of Fortune from the late '80s to mid '90s and again as the theme music to Merv Griffin's Crosswords from 2007-2008.

[PTH4Fun]

@eipecara How many players were there on the pilot of "Buzzword"?

[PTH4Fun]

@eipecara Ah, Charlie O'Donnell. Thanks a lot.

Welcome to Merv Griffin's Crosswords! And now let's meet our crossword solvers! (contestant's name), a (occupation) from (state) and (contestant, a (occupation) from (state). And now, here's your host, Ty Treadway!

[WheelWatcher12345]

I've obviously heard this theme before!

On GSN 2 years ago, I watched this asian girl win a new sports car and heard this prize cue.

[jwgreek8606]

I think if I remember correctly it was used as the theme for one of Merv's pilots in 1986 called "Buzzword."

[PTH4Fun]

Was "Buzzword" an unsold pilot?

[jwgreek8606]

@PTH4Fun I believe so. For NBC

[PTH4Fun]

@jwgreek8606 Who hosted and Announced "Buzzword"?

[jwgreek8606]

@PTH4Fun I think a sportscaster from Pheonix hosted Buzzword and I don't know who announced it

[PTH4Fun]

@jwgreek8606 Would you mention the rules of "Buzzword", Please?

[jwgreek8606]

@PTH4Fun don't know the rules. Anyone fill me in?

[PTH4Fun]

@jwgreek8606 Anybody else for the rules about the game?

[PTH4Fun]

@jwgreek8606 I think the announcer was either Gene Wood or Charlie O'Donnell.

[Nevetsboy2]

This should have been the Sesame Street closing song for the 70's.

[CraigFoye80]

What about that "Spoiler Entrance Cue" from "Merv Griffin's Crosswords"??

[gcuber]

This is my favorite bonus round music EVER!!!

[ep784]

I didn't the music was that old. I was wondering why the crossword theme sounded so classic.

[gameshowfreak2007]

he's constantly changing web site addresses (I have no idea why) keep looking I'm sure it'll pop up again. proabbly a banwidth issue or something like that.

[jubjub449]

I heard this there too.

[03bgood]

Kinda sounds like Pac-Man music.

[tonshaad1230]

I knew I heard this song before. This is so soothing and it sounds kinda sind IMO.

[tonshaad1230]

What I meant to say was it kinda sounds sad. IMO Anyway.

[KidsTVCentral2]

what?

[BenJabituya]

This theme kinda reminds me of the NES Mario Bros. theme (Not SUPER Mario Bros.)

[TVLubber]

They don't just use this theme for cars. They also use it for other high-priced prizes in the Bonus Round.

[rickhh1]

I believe I've heard this theme on the '97 Wheel of Fortune repeats that are airing on GSN now - for one of the wheel prizes. I think it was some trip? Can't remember.

[gameshowluvr86]

At 0:43, you can hear a little bit of the Jeopardy! theme in there! :)

[gameshowluvr86]

...make that 0:43 and 2:14.

[Teshinator]

I just noticed it, about to say the same thing.

[barber747]

One of the most memorable Wheel themes EVER!!!

[misterx1988]

The website that the theme came from is still online under a different web address. The website usually moves to a new server every few months because the website is on free servers (making them not 99.8% reliable, which can lead the servers to shut down for long periods of time). Anyway, the new address is "gsthemes(.)freehostia(.)com".

[Jnelson09Returns]

Yeah, but that site only has them in Real. And Real sucks. There's better sites out there.

[lklk90]

damn dis my theme. when i was little i use to love to see the car spin on that turntable

[KidsTVFan6]

I want to hear the MGC Theme (MGC is Merv Griffin's Crosswords) this theme is the older version of it.

[mylesspike119]

i like it

[gcuber]

One of my favorite prize cues from Wheel!

[jarvisbrodiea1]

I love it.
