When I was growing up and always close to dinnertime on weekday evenings (as that was the timeslot), I always turn on the television and watch this show without fail. If I have to say about one of the very earliest shows I watched where it introduces me to understand more of the English language, this has to be one of those.
I mean naturally when I was still very young, I don't even understand what the usual three contestants are trying to guess, or what 'Buy a vowel' really means, I just know it's always so full of excitement and the prizes are already enough to envy anyone. But then it's interesting and often funny at times I always remembered about Pat Sajak and Vanna White. These two people had been appearing on the show from the first time I first watched this as a very young kid.
Slowly over the years, I did not watched it often as I do but then if I have the chance, I will watch it. But since years ago, it was taken off the air from the local television screens and I really wondered why. I mean, given the excitement is always there actually.
A game show that is not to be missed.

Wheel of Fortune is a fun Game Show to watch. I watch it every night on my local NBC affiliate and I enjoy the old reruns on the Game Show Network. It's always been my dream to be on Jeopardy! but if I can't get on there, I wanna try for Wheel of Fortune, if it's still around in 5, 6, or 7 years. I think it will be because as Charlie O'Donell says at the beginning of every episode "It's America's Game!" It must be the most popular game show on Television. I hope it stays around. Pat Sajak and Vanna White are great hosts for the show too! I have versions of the game on Nintendo 64 and for my computer and I enjoy playing it myself. It's a fun game and I would really like to appear on a game show because I've always enjoyed watching game shows and thought they were neat.
I haven't watched "Wheel of Fortune" in decades. I'm happy to see that Pat Sajak and Vanna White have retained their jobs. If I'm not mistaken, Vanna White had to sue to keep her job after they wanted to replace her with a younger, newer model.
"Wheel of Fortune" was so simple and successful that they made board games, video games, and even slot machines. All it is is a high stakes game of hangman. Losing can be very embarrassing depending upon the answer and conversely it can be very gratifying as well.
I don't watch any game shows anymore, but when I did, "Wheel of Fortune" was in the rotation.

I remember when this show came on, The highest prize won was $25,000 in the bonus round. Now a days is 100 grand. And all the toss ups. I'm telling you this show is better than ever. And the theme song is pretty good. Unlike the 1983 "Changing Keys" version which was ugly and used too many synthesizer or the 1997 version where they jazed up the theme. I Like the new hi-tech puzzle board because it gives a more 21st century feel to the show. And the PRIZES!!! We'll What more can be said this show is better than ever before. And the set is cool. Better than the previous sets including the Ugly Sunburst's in 1983. Long Live Wheel.
More Prizes, More chances to win, Better theme music, Better sets, Better technology, and Still Pat and Vanna running the show! It's been the show to watch for the past 20 years and It's getting better and Better, with most of it's style untouched. Man I love this show!
