Wheel of Fortune (Woolery) close, 12/13/79

Final segment of a typical ep...I think it's safe to say one of that day's contestants did well! :-)

I don't have the entire ep, just this final segment.

Fascinating little snippet. Despite it being so short, it *does* help fill-in a detail -- $2,000 is top dollar by this point, and *not* New Year's Eve as I had previously thought.

Logically, this comes from the same tape that the 12/13/79 episode of "Mindreaders" was on, since "Wheel" and "Mind" aired back-to-back during the latter's entire run.

Do you have the entire episode?

Must not have had time to say goodbye as was the case with WOF through the early syndicated years as well, even when the show was the most watched game show on TV(and still is with the possible exception of prime time WWTBAM circa 2000)

And in those days, promo V/O's as heard over the end credits were done by Vic Roby (who's heard here).

I remember seeing the episode from New Year's Eve 1979, and I know the two values that were increased in 1980. That tan $150 became $250, and that red $200 by the $1500 became $800. So for a total layout increase of $700, I wouldn't say that's too bad for the standards of the time. BTW, kudos to that lady who bought that car!
