The wheel does have 9 conspicuously-placed pairs of numbers that happen to total 95 cents In the area from 70 through 60: there are four pairs of adjacent numbers totaling 95 In the area from 20 through 55: the alternating numbers (ABAB) total 95 In the area form 50 through 45: the bracketed pairs (ABCCBA) of numbers total 95. Mere coincidence? Maybe... but I'm doubtful.

In the area from 20 through 55: The alternating numbers (ABAB) pair up to total 95. In the area from 50 through 45: The three bracketed sets of numbers (ABCCBA) pair up to total 95. Coincidence?

That's right. Not only was it played ONLY in 1977 -- but for only one week, that year. On the two times it was ever played, it was won -- therefore making Professor Price, crappy as it was, the only pricing game with a perfect win-loss record.
The wheel seems a lot looser... Look how blank those side panels look. I know there is some kind of mathematical reason for the placing of the wheel values. They're broken up so that the highs and lows aren't in the same place. Moreso than your average dartboard.
I think you are mixing up fonts (according to qwizx) since the font prior to October 2007 had a different name. I think it had to be sometime after 1992.
The greatest highlight of my life was spinning The Big Wheel on The Price Is Right on March 17th, 2008.
The big wheel walls are still gold in Mid-November 1977.
If you notice, the 5 & 15 are black, instead of green. The bonus spin didn't start until 1978.

Look at this young BOB.
Indeed!
no, 1977. This is the episode with Professor Price, which was only played in 1977 so...
You are correct!

The best moment of my life was spinning The Big Wheel on The Price Is Right on March 17th,2008
November 14, 1977
What Professor Price I don't think I saw that Game!
It is unbelievable to think about how the wheel looked and sounded back then!
They put on the green sections in 1978
Actually, it's 1979
No green section for the 5 and 15 cents. That's pretty old school!
I got this from a VHS giveaway on a game show website last year. I believe Videon/Shaw began getting Game Show Network around 2000.
I missed when they stopped showing the person in the triangle.
from 76 to 77 tha handles, beep, abd tightness have been figured out
The wheel looks naked without the green sections.
man the show was soooo subdued back then!
no energy.
this is cool!
Yup - when he still colored his hair. He quit doing it (I think) in 1987.
The sad part is, i know exactly what the last guy won. He won a car in the short-lived Professor game.
@garycalgary Green Sections did not come into play until 1980.
@garycalgary They didn't add those until around 1978 or so.
Ill never forget around this era when everyone kept landing on the dime! lol! It must of hit it at least 6 xs ! :D
wow.. I remember when they added the red and green spaces to the wheel..
It was just the green spaces
This is my favorite wheel beep out of all four, with the first one coming in a close second.
Why?
Wow...
Bob was hott back then! lol
The beeper sounds funny xd lol
And it probably wasn't until late 1984-early 1985 when the current LCD display replaced the old readout, right?

No bonus spins
2007, when Drew Carey became host.
And became one of the sexiest blondes on TPIR (aside from Janice and Dian). :-)
When was it that they added the green sections.
is it just me or is the pointer on the wheel pointing downward a little instead of being straight?
I had forgotten there was a time when the 5 and 15 cent spots weren't green!!
Man, was that wheel fugly. They done good when they added the green to it.

I thought it was 1977.
It says $100 in the Annotation..shouldn't it be $1.00 (or in terms of the money, $1,000)?

Didn't come til' 1978.
Was the arrow broken during this recording because it doesn't move?
