Starting over once again from the very beginning, it's Wheel of Fortune: Seasons! As we turn the clock back to 1983, here are a few things to keep in mind...
-As I will be doing one season per show, this episode (along with 1984-1986) will use the shopping format. -The top dollar amounts are $1,000 for Rounds 1 and 2 and $5,000 after that.
-There will be two full rounds. Round 3 may finish as a Speed-Up but time pending, if it goes through without one, Round 4 will be a full Speed-Up played for a gift certificate. -In the speed-up, you have three guesses or the option to pass with no penalty for a missed deadline.
-The Bonus Round is the five-and-one-vowel format. You have seven guesses or 48 hours (whichever comes first) with the option to give up.
Who wants to give 1983 another try? I need three players.

Me: Thank you, Jim! Hello, everybody! We're opening another time capsule here on Wheel of Fortune. This is the first show of our second nighttime trek of Wheel through the years. I promise you, it's going to be another great ride and I'm glad you can join us. We're starting yet again in 1983 where it all began. First off, I want all of you to help me welcome our hostess: the lovely Vanna White! Here she is now!
*cheers and applause as Vanna walks through the curtain to the puzzle board*
Me: I tell you, Vanna-mania is still alive and well today as it was back in the eighties. Next up, we'll chat with today's contestants. Let's meet Bill McDee playing in the red. Bill, what are you up to these days?

Hello Kevin, well I'm up to working at my new job which I started just 4 short months ago.
In my spare time I enjoy playing board games and cards and am a huge fan of vintage TV shows from the 1950s through the 1980s.

Great, I wish you success in your new job. You also came to the right place to do some 1980s reminiscing as well. Next in line as JC. How’ve you been?

Hi Kevin, been doing fine. I haven’t been able to work as much, (Freelance for me is hard during the summer), but I’m staying positive. Hopefully today I can get either a trip or a new TV, because I desperately need one.

Wish him a happy birthday for me. I hope we can get him some nice presents.
Let's play Wheel of Fortune!
*spins the wheel*
One thousand dollars is the top dollar value for this round. Be mindful of ol' black and white: Bankrupt. Hit that and you lose your cash but not your merchandise because once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here we go, this is our first puzzle of 1983.
*puzzle reveal chimes*
The category is Person which means it's time for my favorite disclaimer. Audience, ready? One, two, there...
Audience: Person does not always mean Proper Name.
Me: There you go! You did that so well. Just before the show, we drew numbers to see who would start the game.
Bill, it's gonna be you. Get this party started.
