7:26--Even in the Chuck-and-Susan daytime era, "Wheel" was doing out-of-town contestant searches, which would become more prevalent once it evolved into a nighttime show with Pat and Vanna.
Gordon solves after one spin in round one. In his next turns of playing the game he hits money, and in his second spins in each round he hits a Lose a Turn. Chuck even said to Gordon, "You want to solve?" Gordon decided to play on, and got those Lose a Turns. Gordon should have solved I guess.
San Fran Week aired 5/11-5/15/1981 originally. An "All-New" Diff'Rent Strokes in the commercial at the end and said to air Wednesday aired on Wed 5/13, the season finale, airdate ergo this is probably from 5/12/1981 and the previous show, also a San Fran week show, was from 5/11
That would mean the final episode, May 13, 1981 aired the same day as the shooting of Pope John Paul II but before any breaking news coverage would have conceivably pre-empted the episode from airing!
Awesome to see Woolery Wheel! All fun and excitement
I've been watching this show for many years, and I have to say that Lynn is one of the best contestants I've seen! Two trips to Mexico, etc.
They were about the change the intro, had to be sometime in September 1981.

Robert-thank you for sharing this with us.
I like how Susan was dancing to the commercial lead out music around 10:20.

Thanks for sharing Robert!! These early years Wheel episodes are great. Chuck and Susan were awesome!!
No Bankrupts, Today!!
I love Chuck he always messes up lol
Whoa is that Casey Kasem doing the NBC tag at the end?
Yes it was
If they aren’t in San Francisco and there are no contestants from San Francisco, why is it San Francisco Week?
Gordon is. Hayward is in Alameda County. It's in the San Francisco metro area
$44 is what they charged for a pet dish! I'm so glad the contestants no longer are required to buy such ridiculous stuff at crazy prices.
Nickname...never had a category like that before.
Christmas Week 94 WoF -- Monday, I think -- had the Nickname category too
Tunisia, it was a category that wasn’t used very much, but it was in rotation until they retired it in 1988.
The Coronet commercial is 2020 timely.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

Why is the champ in the middle, rather than closest to Chuck?
Maybe that's the way they did it in the Woolery days? It's a mystery.
@@muddstock I think back then, they drew numbers to see who got what spot, whether you were the champion or not.
They did draw numbers. Returning champions could be in any position any day. She just picked 2 for this episode.
This is what happens when Susan wears a proper bra!
Susan Stafford was far more prettier than Vanna !! ❤❤❤❤
