A couple of differences in this next year of play...
-The returning champion limit is reduced to three games. Again, the winner of the 1976 show (Frank Sartori in this case) has been grandfathered into the five-game limit.
-Round 4 will be played for a gift certificate if it begins as a Speed-Up.
I need two challengers plus Frank to check in!

*Big Wheels starts up*
Jim Thornton: Just look at this studio, filled with beautiful and imaginative gifts, which can be purchased today on Wheel of Fortune! Total retail value of all these prizes: more than $91,000! Now, let's meet the host of Wheel of Fortune: Kevin Kolsen! Me: Good day, everybody! Welcome once again to Wheel of Fortune. We've set out clocks ahead another year to 1977. This means I get to introduce our hostess again, the lovely Susan Stafford! *cheers and applause as Susan walks on stage*
Susan: Hi, Kevin!
Me: Hey, Susan. Say, you know? Bob Barker had Dian, Janice and Holly by this time.
Susan: Where are you going with this?
Me: There's three of them and only one of you. There's no need to be jealous.
Susan: Why can't The Price is Right have three hosts then?
Me: One of the great mysteries of this world. The puzzle board awaits you. Meanwhile, I also get to say hi to three people:
Our contestants. We start in the red with Frank Sartori. Frank is our champion who won $1,433 last year.
*applause*
Frank, how have you been doing?

*talking to someone offstage*
No I did not order the pepperoni! I ordered the cheese and...oh we started?! Hiya. Well if it's any indication Mr. Kolsen, I'm hungry. There'd better be food backstage after the program.

All we have in the break room are Wonka Bars and onion nuggets. Don't worry, it's not expired... yet, that is.
Next up is David Barkow. David, what have you been up to lately? |

All right, we hope that "Not much" can turn into "Much prizes" in this next half-hour or so. Before we do that, let's meet Immanuel Tims. Immanuel, how's life for you?

Don't talk to me about the cold. When's it gonna be May? In all seriousness, we have a game to play...
*spins the wheel*
$500 is the top dollar value for our first round. Be mindful of that Bankrupt. If you land there, you lose your cash but not your merchandise. Any prize you buy from our displays is yours to keep and safe from that space. Take a look at this first puzzle.
*puzzle reveal chimes*
The category is Place. We're gonna put Susan to work earlier than usual on this puzzle. That's because there is a hyphen in it.
*bong*
Just before the show we drew numbers to see who would start us off.
It'll be our champion, Frank. All the best!

All right, that's one prize and $150 on account. Jim, tell Frank about the hoop.
Jim: Okay, Kevin. Frank, you've purchased this Lifetime in-ground basketball hoop. With its power-lift mechanism, you can practice your lay-ups and shooting skills from a height of seven and a half feet to ten feet. Its shatter-proof backboard is also power-coated and it comes with a weather-resistant net. Retail value: $550!
Me: And that will put you on the board.
One round out of the way. We'll play another when we come back. Stick around!
