I didn't know, until now, that there was a daytime version. I'd also forgotten the shopping part they used to do before they just went to giving away things they won with their wheel spins. I love the old commercials. I sure miss the early 80's!
According to one recollection, it’s a cheapest bonus round prize valued at $991 sometimes in June 1982. A contestant picked the cheapest one twice in the row but failed to solve two bonus puzzles.
@@millenniumman75But in this format you had 15 seconds. When RSTLNE were given and then you added 3 consonants and 1 vowel (unless of course you had the WILD card where you can get a 4th consonant) you only now had 10 seconds to solve the puzzle.
That Susan Stafford sure had some strange mannerisms. I couldn't concentrate on the puzzles because I kept looking at her. 🤣🤣. Just a couple of questions Michael. Is your mom still alive? And for how long did you keep all the prizes?
Here is what was on TV the day this episode aired 3/31/82: NBC (this network): Real People (Short Policeman in Boston, Kissing Contest, Gay Rodeo, 103 year old Gambler), The Facts of Life (The Academy), Love Sidney (Patti's Roots), Quincy ME (Expert in Murder) CBS: Herbie the Love Bug (My House & Your House), WKRP in Cincinnati (The Creation of Venus), Bakers Dozen (Dear John), Shannon (Beating the Odds) ABC: Greatest American Hero (The Good Samaritan), The Fall Guy (No Way Out)(R), Cheryl Ladd, Scenes From a Special (guests Carol Brunett & Rick Springfield)
Restlessness, erratic body language and a gaunt appearance are indications of cocaine use, common during the late 70s/early 80s. It's pretty obvious why she was replaced; Vanna was younger, bettter looking and had a natural, flowing grace.
3/31/1982 airdate here since the Monday episode posted yesterday was found to be from 3/29/1982 given the Oscar night references to it being "tonight", and April 3rd and 4th are referenced here in the Dinah Shore Nabisco golf commercial, and Easter on 4/11 in 1982 referenced in the Hallmark xcommercial.
A very rare Pat/Susan episode, this definitely needs to be preserved!
CAR
I believe this is the cleanest episode with Pat and Susan to date
Wow!!!! To say I'm very impressed is a big understatement, Congratulations Merielen 😊😊
Thank you, for all the memories Pat Sajak.
I wish they had kept that old music in with the current edition.
Maybe if they do a decades week in the first part of the 80s then they would
It did not become the earworm that Changing Keys became.
I LOVE it when Pat gives the Final Spin and hits a BIG Dollar amount
$2000 in the Daytime Version and $5000 in the Nighttime Syndicated Version
Yep because in the 1980s, $5,000 covered the $2,000 wedge for nighttime and take it off when it’s daytime.

@@anthonyguarino4242 But, at the time, the nighttime didn't exist for another year½.
@@nextbarker2702 true!

I miss the old bongo drum theme to this show. Remembering it from the Chuck Woolery era as a kid was awesome.
I do have to admit that it is going to be difficult to see Pat Sajak's final season.
The music sounds more modern than what they use now! They should have kept it because it sounds much better!
I wouldn't say it's modern at all. You can definitely tell it's from the 70s.
@@JohnathanWilliamson849 How about better then. The music from the show was much better back then compared to now.
You can clearly see how uncomfortable Susan is with the larger puzzle board in round 2.
9:41 Notice the star on the washer and dryer -- one could actually play for that in the Bonus Round!

I do have to admit that Wheel of Fortune now and 1982 are too different shows.
No doubt about it. I liked the original NBC version especially with Chuck Woolery hosting.
R S T L N E, that's where they got the current bonus round stuff from!
It was the set of letters most picked. They started being given outright in October 1988.
@@millenniumman75 I see. Makes sense.
@@millenniumman75 they should've started the modern Bonus Round when Vanna White joined 12/13/1982

Congrats on the big win!
9:02 "Chip Things Into Shape"?!? Oh, bummer!
Nice bonus solve!
I'm surprised that's a phrase though.
I just noticed that Susan never clapped during spins
24:33 RSTLNE
I wonder who replaced Pat for the weather after he left to do Wheel
I believe it was a man named Fritz, he may still be the weatherman on NBC4 in LA.
@James Lacerenza thanks for the info. I grew up watching Fritz, Colleen and Chuck. They've been on there for years.
@James Lacerenza Fritz and the Fonz? Two legends.
@@seand2711Actually, Pat's replacement was Kevin O'Connell, who also hosted "Go" for Bob Stewart Productions.
Wednesday March 31st, 1982
I love sherry and merielen from wheel of fortune in 1982
That Susan Stafford sure had some strange mannerisms. I couldn't concentrate on the puzzles because I kept looking at her. 🤣🤣. Just a couple of questions Michael. Is your mom still alive? And for how long did you keep all the prizes?
yes and still has a lot of the prizes
I'm sure Charo would had some words to Pat about the word Gucci.
Charro’s phrase is ‘“cucci cucci coo”

Very interesting! Could you, please, share what the date was though? 😁
Wouldn't the bonus round puzzle fall under THING more than PHRASE?
Thanks man. Can you upload more Pat and Susan WOF episodes?
These are his mother's appearances. He's not going to have others. oy....
@@robh748 Are they from a VCR though, because they're very good quality?
21:53
Susan Stafford then before Vanna white
The hostess lady acts really weird and looks so uncomfortable.
Hagar El Kenany yeah I mean what’s up with that?
Restlessness, erratic body language and a gaunt appearance are indications of cocaine use, common during the late 70s/early 80s. It's pretty obvious why she was replaced; Vanna was younger, bettter looking and had a natural, flowing grace.
TR47 did she also have impatientness from when in the bonus round the people were trying to solve the puzzle?
she was thinking of leaving
