Wheel 2000
Because I'm sure not making a separate page just for this. The first tapings have a slightly different Wheel layout and no "turn indicator" light bulbs, among other things. Later tapings (including November 1, 1997) have red-on-yellow A-B envelopes; previously, they were yellow-on-red.

 * September 13, 1997 (Premiere: Marissa/Gerrard/Vinnie, with the original A-B envelopes)
