Talk:Daytime episodes known to exist/@comment-98.226.72.255-20140117025350

Hi - I was on WOF in 1977. Taped in mid Aug and air dates in early Sept. *Susan was definitely spinning the wheel for my 3 shows mentioned as I see she was out for most of Sept. air dates due to injury.

I offer a small correction to what I read on the daytime info above. April 1978, there is mention that returning champs were limited to 3 episodes. I know as an undefeated champ who was limited to a max of 3 appearances that this policy was in effect as of my taping dates, mid-August, 1977. I wish I had been able to go on for another two shows!

I was told by production staff that one of my tapings was the first that had required five full puzzles as I had solved them so quickly that day. Four full puzzles before the speed round was the norm.

Sad to see that so few tapes exist of my era as I've never been able to view it. Very few folks owned a VCR at that time. We called an appliance store in Las Vegas and asked that they record my shows. We went to Europe on the trip I won on WOF and missed the air dates. Called the store when we returned, and they had taped over them under the assumption we weren't coming in for them.

Anyhow - keep up the good work as it is a fun trip down memory lane.
