Series Directed. (85 episodes, 1979-1991) Jeff Goldstein. (75 episodes, 1975-1976) Marty Pasetta. Continuing my holiday marathon, here is the show you voted #21 in the poll, Woolery Wheel.In this episode from March 1979, our returning champion Gwen hopes.

As daytime did not use seasons, and since the show debuted in January, this timeline is divided by year. For the nighttime version, see Wheel of Fortune timeline (syndicated).

New Year’s Eve — Even though we taped this early in December, we knew the broadcast dates. This info helped a little bit in my figuring out what the puzzles were.
