This is my favorite game show on TV ever, from first catching glimpses of Vanna White turning the letters when I was a little kid to fully catching the show every night as a teenager for a few years. I've enjoyed watching the giant wheel spin and land on the many monetary amounts, special prizes and the forbidden "Lose Your Turn" and "Bankrupt" spaces - much to the contestants' delight.
Pat Sajak is the perfect host for the show - funny, witty and just an all-around affable person to be around with. And, Vanna White is a great, elegant hostess and show companion to Pat.
The hangman-style guessing game is easy to follow and play along, but it's full of suspense and thrills as you root for your favorite contestant to guess the puzzle and win the doe, or lose their turn or go bankrupt. There's much strategy to the game as well, from buying vowels to solving the puzzle at right moment. The $5,000 space and the $10,000 prize probably two of the best spaces to land on on the colorful, memorizing wheel.
It's an awesome and exciting way to win big money, and the audience "Wheel of Fortune" chant in every opening scene is a reminder that this show is indeed "America's Game!"
