question
What do you mean by "bonus round chevrons"? TenPoundHammer 23:27, August 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not the chevrons on the contestant backdrops? If not, then which part of the set are these on? TenPoundHammer 00:57, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

Ross Perot
Do you know what the bonus question was for the Ross Perot puzzle? TenPoundHammer 21:34, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Merchandise
The video games should have their own page, and the handheld games may fit under that. The board game page would get way too cluttered, so I'd suggest Video Games and (maybe) Other Merchandise. I'd also suggest some pictures be added; the puzzle board would be a source of comparison between video games, for example. -Daniel Benfield 09:11, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Goen Episode
I think I got the August 31 date from the August 29 show (Marleen/Mary Ellen/Lee), probably the commercials. They're clearly from the same week due to having the same Bonus Round prizes, and the episode you cited is definitely a Thursday since Bob mentions the champion coming back to "wrap up the week".

Unfortunately, Marleen/Mary Ellen/Lee seems to have disappeared; the notes I took of it while it was on YouTube were very basic, mainly since I didn't expect to be working on a Wiki. The only puzzle I jotted down the details of was the Bonus Round, for TPH's bonus puzzle site. -Daniel Benfield 08:10, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Merv's EP Credit
It definitely began by 1990, as evidenced by this credit roll (skip to 0:30). It's also the first episode I found with the "flip in, flip out" Enterprises graphic (also, please don't forget to sign with ~ ). -Daniel Benfield 04:48, September 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Just went back through some September/October '89 shows – Nancy Jones is still listed first on October 10. Also, I'm very sorry if I sounded snippy or idiotic about the signature thing. :( -Daniel Benfield 05:42, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Goen Info
I felt that the Bonus Round of Christmas Day 1990 wasn't all that unusual or notable. The champ didn't retire undefeated, and the thing about the golden bow went better with the rest of the set info. I meant no offense, though.

Everyone has their own style of entering info from episodes, and I respect that. :) -Daniel Benfield 06:28, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

Re:CBS Winnings Limit
Actually, both – $100,000 by October 1989, and $125,000 by Christmas '92. As the years passed and prizes got bigger, the winnings limit got higher and higher until it was decided to remove the concept altogether. -Daniel Benfield 20:28, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Goen Finale Date
A good source would be the sweepstakes disclaimers near the end of the supposed "September 20" show. The last date mentioned is July 19, 1991, as the last date for alternate entry calls. August 30 came from the date Classic Concentration ended in first-run, while July 5 was the last date for the main Wheel sweepstakes. -Daniel Benfield 22:59, September 22, 2011 (UTC)
