This episode will be a celebration of the actual show's 35th anniversary in syndication (congrats to Pat and Vanna for their milestone!), with bigger and better prizes, as well as a trip down memory lane with more old-school cues. gameboy2000 is our returning champion, with $10,950 won on his first episode, and we need two more challengers to take him on.

Well, let's go! (1983 Opening Theme) ERIN HARRIS: Get ready to celebrate 35 years of America's Game on this special edition of Wheel of Fortune! We have bigger and better prizes in store for you, as well as some great surprises along the way! And of course the famous Wheel will be spinning, and these players will be winning! And now, from the Sony Pictures Studios, here are your hosts, Bill Skinner and Vanna White!Hello, everybody! Off you go, Vanna. Well, it's time to play the episode of Wheel that celebrates the show's 35 years on the air. And the song you heard in the opening is the original theme from 1983.  Now that we have our three players ready to celebrate, let's get started with our first Toss-Up puzzle, which is worth $1,000. (Toss-Up intro chimes)  The category is Proper Name, and let's see some letters, Vanna. (2000 Toss-Up Cue)  |

Yeah, that's it! (2000 Toss-Up Solve Cue)   And for those who don't know, that was the original announcer from 1983, and he was with the show for many years. Good job, gameboy2000! Now our next Toss-Up will be worth $2,000 to the player who solves it, and here it is. (Toss-Up intro chimes)  This time, we're looking for a Song Title. Do the honors, Vanna. (2002 Toss-Up Cue)  |

You got it again! (2002 Toss-Up Solve Cue)   The original theme song to Wheel of Fortune, which had been used for well over two decades before meeting its sad fate. Well, you now have $3,000, plus you will get to start our first round, which is also the Jackpot round. Erin, let's hear about it. ERIN: Tonight's Jackpot is brought to you by Quicken Loans. With a variety of services to help you with everything from tax returns to home mortgages, the experts at Quicken Loans are always here for you. For more information, go to QuickenLoans.com. 350/250/GIFT TAG (900)/400/1250/250/MDW (400)/200/LOSE A TURN/450/FREE PLAY/200/700/JACKPOT/200/300/400/500/2500/200/POWER/800/750/BANKRUPT Now comes the fun part, when we get to spin the Wheel of Fortune for cash and prizes. (spins wheel) We are playing for cash; and I want you to watch out for those nasty black spaces marked Bankrupt. If you land on that, you will lose your cash, but not your merchandise, as once you earn a prize, it is yours to keep. (category intro chimes)  The category for our first puzzle of the night is Things, and gameboy2000, you will start first. (When spinning, please select a number from 1 to 72.) |
