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.
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)
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?
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!

I believe this is the cleanest episode with Pat and Susan to date

I miss the old bongo drum theme to this show. Remembering it from the Chuck Woolery era as a kid was awesome.
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!
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.
Changing Keys is a better main theme, but that puzzle solve theme is the most exciting in the show's history.
Wow!!!! To say I'm very impressed is a big understatement, Congratulations Merielen 😊😊
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.
I do have to admit that it is going to be difficult to see Pat Sajak's final season.
9:41 Notice the star on the washer and dryer -- one could actually play for that in the Bonus Round!

You can clearly see how uncomfortable Susan is with the larger puzzle board in round 2.
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.
Congrats on the big win!
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

Nice bonus solve!
I'm surprised that's a phrase though.
I love sherry and merielen from wheel of fortune in 1982

Very interesting! Could you, please, share what the date was though? 😁
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?
Wednesday March 31st, 1982
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.
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
Wouldn't the bonus round puzzle fall under THING more than PHRASE?
I just noticed that Susan never clapped during spins
I'm sure Charo would had some words to Pat about the word Gucci.
Charro’s phrase is ‘“cucci cucci coo”
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?

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
