Just on a hunch--does anyone think the Star Wheel may be slightly different
than what we're all familiar with? Remember the "trial run" hour-long
TPIR's from 1975 with the other S/S wheel?
Should be interesting to say the least.

How can this be? Does this mean that they had the star wheel before the blue
set? I don't believe this can be true because the star wheel matched the blue
set, not the orange set.

Adam, the dates are VERIFIED. GSN has the panel info up, and the dates came from
Brian C's episode guide, which is 100% ACCURATE. It's just a mystery of MG '78- the
"Uncharted Territory" (meaning GSN never got to June '78 on the last run of MG)
Zach Horan
>than what we're all familiar with?
The first star wheel on MG78 had one long segment of each space that would
double the stakes, rather than three shorter, unconnected segments as was the
case on the Syndie run.

Why does this preclude it from being true?

By the way, Zach is right about the wheel - the "small gaps"
between the stars on the syndicated version were initially
filled with stars as well - I think there was a 50% chance
of getting a "double"
35
Question: I've heard that the star wheel was created because
Richard was leaving the show, and I've also heard that Richard
left the show because of the wheel - which is it?
30 (Star Wheel trivia: as far as I know, the only person who had both
first and last names appear on the wheel was Richard Paul, so he
wouldn't be confused with Richard Dawson - something that happened
when Richard Deacon was on the show, and his last name wouldn't
fit, so there were two "Richard" spaces - the one not next to
25 Brett's name was Dawson)

As I recall, the first spin landed on...Richard Dawson; later on the
show (hopefully it wasn't early on the next show; I don't think so),
Charles does one of his "reading the newspaper" gags and mentiones a
story about "the 'fixed' Star Wheel".

Actually, it does seem a bit odd...the first MGPM Star Wheel episode already
had the new set--does this mean the Star Wheel was used only on daytime for
a short period before being added to nighttime in addition?
Ian Wallis
a short period before being added to nighttime in addition?
------
Yes...I remember from original broadcasts that the Star Wheel
happened first. I guess "Match Game PM" was in reruns at the
time
and they weren't taping the new season yet. I believe Richard
left the show on episodes airing in late August 1978 - since he
was only on 2 "MGPMs" of the new season (it is only 2, isn't it?)
they must have started taping the new season only 2 weeks before
he left. The Star Wheel must have been on the daytime version
for
a least two months before it turned up on the nighttime version -
and the new set a little more than a month.

This is not a surprise to anyone because that's the wheel on early Blue
Set MGPMs.

Actually there were at least 4, maybe 5 episodes of MGPM with Richard and
the Star Wheel. GSN aired all of them this time around in the run, as
opposed to the last two times when they only aired 2 of them.

Ask yourself this question: why would we talk about a marathon that aired in the past
in such verbose detail?
It airs a week from THIS Saturday, on July 22nd at 8PM EDT on Game Show Network.
Jason Compton
: Ask yourself this question: why would we talk about a marathon that aired in the past

Although it should have been obvious that it was this year for other
reasons, I'm afraid that given some of the denizens of this newsgroup,
your test isn't exactly ironclad.
