0:14 it's very depressing to see a beloved game show die
1:28 - Wheel of Fortune is a Merv Griffin Production, distributed by Kingworld.- Jack Clark
1:26 My personal favorite. (Wink)
so it did wink. When I was a kid that terrified me
Lol me too, I think it's because it waits so long to do it that you think it's static
I would always remember the ones after Wheel of Fortune during the 80s winking his eye
Lol when I was a kid that freaked me out. I wasn’t expecting it 😂
I thought it was neat.
0:07 - "Jeopardy!" was pre-recorded. This is Don Pardo.

Merv Griffin Enterprises would use one of the following bylines below:
1983-1986: (Standard logo with no byline)
December 22, 1986-1987: Logo and name are smaller and are shifted up to make room for the byline "A unit of The Coca-Cola Company" (in red, with "Coca-Cola" in its signature font; "The" and "Company" in Loki Cola font) underneath the name.
June 1987-February 5, 1988: "A unit of Coca-Cola TELEVISION" (in red, with "Coca-Cola" in its signature font).
February 8, 1988-1992: "A Unit of Columbia Pictures Entertainment, Inc." (in the Souvenir font (used for Columbia Pictures from 1975-1993) in yellow or orange).
September 2, 1991-June 1992: (Bylineless again, because the CPE byline was removed. Logo remains shifted up. Not to be confused with the original 1984 version. This was used during the early years under Sony Pictures Entertainment.)
September 7, 1992-March 31, 1993: "a Sony Pictures Entertainment company".
On the 1988 TV special Secrets Women Never Share, a copyright stamp is seen under the logo without the CPE byline.
Wheel of Fortune Variants: Wheel of Fortune used different custom variations of this logo:
Late 1983/early-February 1984: Standard logo. It uses the Califon copyright stamp below the MGP name.
February 27, 1984-1987: A still version of this logo placed onto an art card. The border of the box was silver instead of sky blue and the sides were pretty close in on the griffin. The text, which consisted of the company's name and a Califon Productions, Inc. copyright stamp, was in a Peignot font (as seen on the 1971 Viacom logo and the MTM logo). Some 1985 episodes of the 1984-1985 season would have this logo borderless. Plus, several 1984-1985 episodes would have the copyright stamp say "Califon Production, Inc." Starting in the 1985-1986 season, the company name and the copyright stamp were pacific blue instead of silver. On December 22, 1986, the Coca-Cola byline was placed under the MGE name in the same byline setup as was used on the 1986-1987 Embassy Communications logo in red, with "Coca-Cola" in its signature font and "The" and "Company" in Loki Cola font except "A unit of" wasn't italicized. The name and logo were made smaller and shifted up to place the byline under. A few December 1986 and January 1987 episodes start with a close up of the text with the 1986-1987 Coca-Cola byline and zoomed back to reveal the picture of the griffin. Later 1987 episodes reverted back to the still image.
Spring 1987?: The text "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" was added below the copyright stamp in blue.
November 10, 1987-September 20, 1991: The background was yellow or yellow-orange instead of black. The MGE and Califon copyright stamp (with a copyright "©" symbol) were in dark blue Peignot font and the Coca-Cola Television (later CPE in February 1988) byline was in red, with the phrase "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" placed at the bottom of the logo. The border on the box was still silver until the end of the 1988-1989 season, when the color of the font and the boarder were changed to the original blue.
On September 7, 1992-March 1993 episodes, the logo would have the byline "a Sony Pictures Entertainment company" in school bus yellow Arial font shifted down a little lower from the company name.
Some 1984-1993 Wheel of Fortune episodes would have an effect to bring in the logo:
1984-1990 (Nighttime): Some episodes would bring the MGE logo by a wipe effect from the bottom.
January 29, 1990-1991 (Nighttime): This effect would have the MGE logo flip down and flip back up like a fan to bring forth the King World in-credit logo.
December 25, 1990: The logo was brought forth with a trilon effect on the Christmas Day 1990 daytime episode.
January 11, 1991 (Daytime): Many times, the end-title scene zooms back onto a gradient background and flips over to reveal the MGE logo.
January 14, 1991-1993: A page flipping effect that starts from the upper-left hand corner showing a gold background page behind and bring itself downward to the lower-right hand corner to reveal the logos. Some 1992 episodes didn't feature the full gold background page. This effect was edited out from September-early October episodes and was replaced with the standard 1992 MGE logo with the SPE byline when reran on GSN.
November 1992: When Wheel of Fortune was taped in Philadelphia, PA during "Philadelphia Week", the logo was brought forth with a straight fade effect.
Merv Griffin
