Wheel of Fortune timeline (syndicated)/Season 37

Go back to Season 36?

A timeline for Season 37, which will air in first-run syndication from September 9, 2019.

Season Changes

 * The opening intro is changed to rotating wheel wedges on a black background, the camera pans out, and the Wheel of Fortune logo appears from the bottom-right of the screen.  The letters flash, and one by one the words become white.  Finally a white flash reveals the set.
 * The main theme is remixed to include an electric guitar track. The intro music before the chant now consists of electric guitars instead of saxophones and trumpets.
 * The Toss-Up wipe is changed to a rainbow-colored wheel.
 * The $3,000 Toss-Up is replaced with the Triple Toss-Up, in which there are three consecutive puzzles with the same category, each valued at $2,000 (for a $6,000 total for a sweep). Four high-pitched dings sound alongside the usual cue after each of the first two is solved. Its wipe also says "Triple" instead of "$3,000". The contestant who solves the third of the Triple Toss-Ups gets to start Round 4 as usual.
 * The Final Spin graphic is changed to match the title card, and its accompanying sound effect is changed.
 * The ½ Car tag is retired.

 * The gift tag moves to the purple $500 between the $800 and pink $650 after contestant Rachel picks up the prize wedge to Costa Rica.
 * The Prize Puzzle offers a $10,000 trip to Ireland.
