When I was a kid I used to think the big wheel was the same one they used for Wheel of Fortune, that they turned it on its side for Wheel of Fortune later that night.

I remember Bob Barker telling a customer, "You ruined my show" when she cheated. It was funny. But I can't find it now. Searching just brings up stuff about Barker's death.

I used to watch the show when I was a litle kid visiting my grandmother. I've been watching old Bob episodes of TPIR on their streaming channel. It's funny now watching people getting excited about winning a Chevette. One thing that still annoys me is watching people constantly looking to the audience for help.

I always felt bad for the people that underestimated how heavy the wheel was and it moved like 6 spaces and Bob had to give it a spin because it had to go around at least once to count.

The people in the audience are almost always valuable, it's not just one but many people who have studied prices of EVERYTHING. When Jerry is screaming the price of Preparation H, surrounded by a cluster of 10+ audience members all wearing the same custom TPIR shirts as him, you'd be wise to trust them. My favorite thing was always the Big Wheel, and god forbid you didn't get the wheel to go all the way around during the Showcase Showdown. It didn't matter if you young or old, in or out of shape, man or woman or NB, if you failed the spin the audience was merciless in their jeering. Even Bob himself wasn't immune to the boos on the wheel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGGokl1Rmgg

How about the inverse, when someone just cranks that wheel and we watch it go around like 30 times.

If it broke you could get someone to come over and fix it so you usually had the same TV for 10 years or more. Even if it totally broke down and could not be repaired, you just bought a smaller TV to put on top of it.
