  • A Classic and Knowledgeable Show!

    10
    I am so glad this show is still on! I always love to see what new prizes and puzzles they come up with. I always go along and try to solve them. The visual displays on this show is OUT OF THIS WORLD beautiful and hi-tech. The contestants are always happy and chirpy, and who can blame them for being on the best game show on TV today?! There is great support from contestant to contestant, the puzzles are hard but not mind boggling for geeks that can't hold up to Jeopardy, and the colors and lights keep you engaged. Perfecto!
  • Looking for an episode.....

    I play Wheel Of Fortune on Nintendo be so nice if the money and prizes you win on there was real money and prizes.
  • I learned my alphabet watching this show.

    Wheel of Fortune is easily one of my favorite game shows out there. It's certainly a classic and Pat Sajak and Vanna White have been brilliant over the years. I started watching this show when I was exceptionally young and my parents have told me I learned my ABC's watching this show everyday at 6 during my toddler ages. Certainly one of the best shows altogether, forget the game show genre, and anyone who doesn't like it has been brainwashed by this new crap that has been put on TV today.
  • There is no summary because this show is not a show at all, it is a game show!

    4.9
    This show is really boring. Please stay away from it because the show has know real meaning to it. I mean seriously the game show is guessing words and winning money. Everytime someone wins the game and they go to the bonus round, it is a unfair. The host guy says if you win the guess the bonus word you can win $100 000. But guess what, no one ever even lands on it. The odds are so slim and not in your favour. My point is please stay away from this show.
  • this is the worst show in the history of making shows

    like i said this must be the worst show in the whole planet. my grandfather watches it that is pretty bad so you teens who are watching this show you must like old show. i think this show is so boring that i could fall a sleep when i watch is good idea so when i have to go to sleep i will watch this show i could sleep just like that


  • this show is horrible!!!!!! i hate this show. its so boring and what is vanna's purpose on it?? this is modern times they can electronically show the letters!!

    1.0
    Complete waste of time! This show should have been cancelled long ago. It is so dumb. It is so overrated and unoriginal, i mean with the price is right out there this show is dumb. Vanna's purpose is just... Hello-digital age, the letters can be electronically shown. The set is also just sooo cheap looking. The catagories are boring, boring, boring and this buy a vowel is so stupid. The price is right now that is a classic. I have rarely seen anyone win anything on this show and on Price is right you are guaranteed a win. This show needs to be gotten rid of.
  • perfect

    players spin a wheel and guess letters to get money and try to solve the board. it sounds boring kind of but it is fun. i like watching and i get a lot of them right. i love when i get them right, and the people spinning keep on spinning, guess a letter, get it wrong, and the next person gets it. overall, it is a pretty fun game show i think. i only just started watching it recently but it is fun and i usually do well on it. overall grade for this game show is an A+ from me
  • Good show.

    6.0
    It's not horrible or not that bad for anyone.But it's not better than Who Wants To Be A Millionaire or Jeopardy.Of course that it doesn't really ask questions,they just guess what the word is.It's a good show and it's not bad for anyone like me.Some of the words are like hard and some of them are easy.Well,it's not very horrible at all and it's very great as one of the best game shows ever made.It's not a bad show,but it doesn't compete with Jeopardy and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.It's really a best game show that has been ever made.
  • I just can't help myself

    8.5
    We watch Wheel of Fortune every single night over dinner. My mom and I started watching it together when I was in high school. It became a family thing. So, when I got married and moved into my own house, it continued. I just love Vanna and Pat. Sure, they are are cheesy and don't seem to be aging as much as they should, but they are fun. I always think I could do better than the contestants! Plus, I can still impress my husband when I get clues with only a few letters. I especially love it when there are loony contestants! It makes the show much more interesting :)
  • Classic game show!

    9.3
    Very classic game show that is still going strong. As the show is been there since the 1970's with original host Chuck Woolry who would later go onto Love Connection and Scrabble fame. But really didn't go through the roof until Pat Sajak and Vanna White took it over. I think they both are like brother and sister to me. Though everybody thought they were like a couple. Still, it makes you play with the audience. And gets you involved with the game. It has staying power due to those two and audience involvement. Keep it up Sajak & White! As Merv Griffith is smiling from above.
  • One of the greatest game shows of all time. Although it could use a little fixing.

    9.5
    Wheel of Fortune is a pretty simple show. You spin a huge colorful wheel with thousands of dollars on it and pick a letter and hope it's up there. The show has been good enough to last a total of 32 years when you add the runs of the daytime show which ran on NBC from 1975-1989, 1991-1992, and CBS from 1989-1991 as well as the highly popular nighttime syndicated show which has ran since 1983. Overall the show is still as good as it was since I can remember but the show in my opinion could use some fine-tuning. The show now mostly relys on cheap gimmicks to get people to tune in even though they have been the #1 show in syndication since 1983. This has really started in recent years starting in the late 90s when the "Jackpot" round was introduced which was soon followed by the "Toss-Up" round and "Mystery" round. These aspects slow the game down and makes the show a fake, artificial, shell of it's former self. I made this judgement based upon watch reruns of the show from the 80s on GSN and in my opinion the show was more watchable and more exciting because there was more game instead of cheap gimmicks and actually in some cases even gave away more money than the show does today. If there was one more thing I could change I would bring back the old theme song from the 80s and early 90s because thats one of the little things that made those early episodes what they were. I bet you can't even hum the theme they got now. In all "Wheel of Fortune" is still a great game show for the whole family to enjoy after all these years but it still use a little tweaking to bring it back to it's prime.
  • I loved it when i was little but not as much anymore.

    8.7
    Wheel of Fortune was a show that i had to watch like every night when i was like 5 years old. NOw days I would just watch this show once in a while. There are gameshows out there that I watch more often the wheel of fortune. Im not saying this is a bad show, id watch it more often if i knew when it was on. I know its on at 7:00 i just don't know the days that its on. You dont have to be smart to be on the show like deal or no deal, so when im older i might try it out.
  • Pretty good game show

    9.0
    This is probably one of the oldest game shows of all time (not including The Price is Right), and one of the more enjoyable shows in game show history with host Pat Sajac and creator Merv Griffin, who also created Jeopardy. The show dates back to the 1970s, with it's first debut, and it still goes strong to the present day 21st century. The show now has a Wheel-Watchers Club, where Wheel of Fortune watchers can possibly win trips or cars that contestants win on the show. In my opinion, this is a pretty decent game show, and I will probably still hold that opinion for years to come.
  • This show is great show. But the host Pat SaJac is boring and he is to nice ,I like mildly stern hosts.

    8.1
    This show is a fun show to watch but I would never start recording this show. I got some piece of advice for the Wheel of fortune crew get a new host and new hostess. But you don't have to take my word for all this I'm saying. I don't get the part about the "womans Touch" everyone knows their no such thing as luck. I don't believe in luck , luck is a big nothing.
  • Although Wheel of fortune is a definite classic, it is WAY past its prime.

    9.0
    I used to love this show when I was little, when they had the REAL Wheel of fortune theme song. Also, I did like the old puzzle better than the new one. The Wheel of Fortune out there is good, but doesnt compare at all to the first one. They went from the small, nice size wheel to the big, bulgy one during the mid-late 90s. Also, they continue to make it harder for you to win big in the bonus round, because of the big wheel with probably half to 3 quarters of it $25,000. Although I do love the new look and style, I dont think it stacks up to the old school version of Wheel of Fortune. I remember how Vanna White would get a special entrance, and they didnt take as many commercial, now they dont do none of that.
  • Well since its been going so long it's more like a daily yearly fix.

    9.6
    I like game shows to an extent, but this is one of the ones I'm really into. My family actually started the whole phase. I personally never liked it until they started watching it. I think the concept of the game is great and that is why it has been around so long. Also, the game is not the only fun thing to watch. I like watching the contestants. Sometimes they are so stupid! The things they guess for the most simple answer never ceases to amaze me. I will continue to watch this show as long as it is around, which will probably be awhile.
  • This is a game show that doesn't require much intellect to win.

    7.5
    Wheel of Fortune! pits three contestants against each other to see who can solve the puzzles first. At the end, a winner is chosen and then they play one more round for the ultimate prize. Even though this game is very competetive and suspenseful, it doesn't require the players to use a great deal of brainstorming. Sometimes, the puzzles are too easy and yet, a contestant will still get it wrong and it's frustrating. Whenever a contestant spins the wheel, they are applauded for no reason by the audience and I find it ridiculous. This show is only good when you want to kill some time or you have nothing to do.
  • For 31 years Wheel Of Fortune has always been the best game Show.

    I'm not even a fan of game shows, but I still sit down every night and watch this show because it is so entertaining. I dont think it would even be that great if it didnt have Pat and Vanna..I mean, their like.... the dynamic duo..Its awesome how theres a different theme every week, and different prizes according to that theme..and also, the wheel is soo colorful!! I mean, have you ever seen a more colorful wheel before?? well not me..and also, WOF is very suspensful because when they spin, you just hope they dont get the bankrupt but then..aaawwwwww...but ya..just thought i'd write a review about it..
  • Each year the prizes get bigger, and so does the money.

    9.6
    Each year the prizes get bigger, and so does the money. Today you can win a trip to pratctily any where in the world.{Well except for places with B.F.}Also win great new cars, from Ford or Honda. Or win large amounts of money. And the only thing you have to do is to think of letters.
  • Hangman, revitalized.

    9.0
    A lightweight game show with some twists to keep us interested. The Bankrupt slot on the wheel often becomes the great equalizer.





    The low-level strategy of when to buy a vowel - even when the puzzle is virtually solvd - always seems to fascinate.





    The high stakes of a $10,000 slot against the risk of Bankrupcy... Do I solve now? Or is it time to get greedy?





    Then there's the winner's round - so monotonous with the threadbare RSTLN and E that they altered the rules to make them a given.





    And the cutesy Vanna turning the letters doesn't hurt.





    Altogether, a great game show.
  • Its a good show and it helps you with spelling.

    8.0
    I like this show because it helps you with your speeling/grammar even though my grade is an A+ on my report card when it comes to spelling/grammar. It is an enjoyable show and gets an A+ in my book, and even a spot on my favorite shows list. I think it is a cool show! The best part is you win money!!!
  • Great in every aspect.

    10
    Although i am an Aussie, i have seen many Wheel eps from America, and let me say this is FANTASTIC. A slick set which combines Color Kinetics and a lot of touchscreen monitors.





    They say a leopard can't change its spots, Well Wheel of Fortune can. As the set can change its colours with the drop of a hat.
  • Who knew spelling could win you $25,000 or more?...

    8.5
    Wheel of Fortune has always been one of my favorite game shows that have ever been on the air. I mean the combination of playing Hangman with a possibility of winning an array of prizes along the way, is a wonderful concept and is fun to watch. Nothing beats watching someone win a lot of money or a fabulous trip somewhere. I even remember when on the show you had to spend your money on this really crappy items at the end of the game because they did not give you the money you won during the main part of the game. Then the show moved to letting you chose the prize you wanted to receive if you won the final puzzle. They had to know that as soon as they added the $25,000 prize that everyone was going to pick that because who wouldn’t want $25,000 instead of a new car, I mean you could buy the car with the money.





    Pat Sajak is the best host that the show could have. I remember when there used to be 2 versions of Wheel of Fortune and Bob Goen of “Entertainment Tonight” fame was the host of that one. Although, the show was fun to watch, Bob was not the best host for the show. I mean he was not awful, but he just didn’t have the same spark that Sajak had. Not to mention, that version had no Vanna White, who once turned letters and now touches them.





    However, lately I have not been able to get into the show as much. The changes they have introduced are a little bit annoying to watch. It seems like now every round has some prize attached to it and I really despise the puzzles before each round to see who is going to start it off. I guess it’s there way of making sure that everyone gets to go home with some money and people at home get more puzzles to answer. Although, I still find it a tad irritating to watch. That coupled with the fact that Vanna no longer turns the letters, but touches a screen instead is really sad to see. The turning of the letter was what made her famous (which in some ways is sad), but now it just seems pointless for her to be there.





    With that being said, the new changes do not take actually take away from the fun and thrill of being able to guess the puzzle at home, to see if you are smarter than the three players who are at the game. With a show that has survived on the air as long as Wheel of Fortune has, it’s bound to have changes that not everyone will enjoy at home. The show remains a show that I’d love to someday be on and with the ratings it gets, it’s definitely going to be around for many more years to come.





    Wheel of Fortune, who knew spelling could be so much fun?
  • Vanna who?

    9.8
    I remember when this show first aired. Nobody knew who Vanna was or what to expect. But as the show grew in fan followings Vanna grew as well. The show is a classic game show that survived the test of time. It still draws viewers from all over to see that wheel spin and see what kind of prize a contestant can win when they are smart enough to answer the clues. With each new season brings bigger prizes and the same fun. A great show.
  • Kind of good.

    7.5
    Not much to say about this show. Solving puzzles, with a little bit of luck and knowledge. It gets interesting when the words keep appearing every second. There should be more of a catch to this show like Lingo. The pictures in the Wheel of Fortune look a lot classic.
  • so old but sooo good

  • Watch Me Spin and Win on December 2, 2005

    I had a great time being a contestant on Wheel Of Fortune! It was a surreal experience. I knew from the minute I saw the commercial advertising the WHEELMOBILE was coming to my home town I was going to be a winner. I took my positive thoughts to the try outs and made it to the next step and then the next. I finally received a letter congratulating me on being selected as a contestant a month later. The letter said I would be getting another letter in the next 18 months telling me when to come to California to tape a show. Well 9 months later they didn’t write, they called! I arrived at the Sony Studio at 7:45 am and watched the first four shows of the week taped. Finally it was time for show five! I do not like spoilers, so you will have to watch me to see what I win! I just wanted to tell the world that the Wheel Staff is great and treated me awesome! Thanks Merv!

  • This show is still good, considering the fact that it's going downhill season after season.

    6.5
    I have watched Wheel of Fortune since I was a toddler and I used to love it. I watched it because my maternal grandparents were addicted to it, but both of them died last year.





    But this show is going downhill and getting worse every season. I would like them to get rid of the unnecessary "Prize Puzzle" and "Spin I.D" promotions because people are getting way too many chances to win.





    Today, contestants on WOF are not winning loads of money like contestants from the late 80's to late 90's did. Now there's too much screaming, too much hugging, and way too much scene-making from today's contestants. Some of them are even moronic!





    I also think that the bonus round needs to go back to the W-H-E-E-L format, which they had until the 2001-2002 season. I don't like the new mini wheel being used these days.





    Luckily, I still watch WOF every once in a while, but not too often. Folks, if you ever start watching this show, you most likely will become addicted to it like I once was.
  • Wheel of Fortune is an entertaining game show that keeps you rooting for the contestants and playing along at home.

    7.3
    A classic game show. Wheel of Fortune has been around for ages, and loved by all generations. I love "yelling" at the players when I know something they don't know, and playing against my family and friends at home.





    Of course, Pat Sajak and Vanna White are the perfect hosts for this show. Pat Sajak always has be laughing with his witty comments, and Vanna dresses great every night.





    This is a very simple show, however, and I can't watch it on hours on end. But, it's good to get a weekly dose. Wheel of Fortune is proof that we need more game shows on TV today.
