  • This is not the first spinning of the wheel. The first wheel was used one week during a week of one hour specials (before the show was an hour) and went around sidways and was multi-colored.

  • its not the first spinning of the wheel, but the first spinning of the big wheel we see on the show today, only modified. that first wheel you're talking about was known as the rainbow wheel.

  • This was NOT the first Showcase Showdown. It was the first Showcase Showdown went to a full hour PERMANATELY. The 5 hour daytime specials was when the very first Showcase Showdown was played and featured the rainbow colored wheel.

  • i remember that wheel with the coconut sounds instead of that annoying "nu-nu-nu-nu-nu-nu-nu-nu"

  • @dickclarkfan1 does anyone have the clip of the rainbow wheel that can be uploaded here?

  • The rainbow wheel was so much nicer. The little podium for the winner. It was prettier than that big wheel, but since the big wheel is so known, I guess we have to consider this a piece of real estate in price is right history.

  • Ah, so this is what that gorgeous thing looked like brand new!

  • Interesting how the wheel was on the 75-cent section when the first contestant went to spin, rather than the $1.00 section.

  • @gameshowguy2000 it's on youtube.

  • I notice the spinning noise is different than that of today's noise. When did it change?

  • wow this wheel was so easy to spin compared to todays wheel

    

  • WHOA! I haven't seen this version of the Big Wheel since... hell, I swear it was 1976. I was 5 then. I even remember how the beep-beep-beep-beep-beep sounded back then, the exact note...

  • @reanimate280 I can see how a big person could spin the wheel fast enough to freak out some people.

  • What the fuck is with her voice? "Stop" sounds like a man with a cold
