My children do not enjoy “Wheel of Fortune.” And yet – it was how they learned the alphabet! I loved the show and it was entertainment as I prepared dinner and plopped them in front of the television. Thus, the end of the Pat Sajak era made me reminisce about those early days.
I didn’t see the final episode as I don’t DVR it – that honor is reserved for Jeopardy. However, the recaps on the news were heartfelt. That was a long run for anyone in a career. And I’m just as old!
I’ll try to tune in occasionally, but it really won’t be the same without that Sajak wit and charm. I did make the Jeopardy switch though when Alex left, so I guess it’s possible to teach an old dog? Which reminds me, I have about ten Jeopardy’s in the queue!
