If you grew up watching Wheel of Fortune, you probably read the title of this episode the same way the audience would call it out during the show's opening.

That's the cultural impact Wheel of Fortune had; it's the game show that goes back to the mid-70s but really rose to prominence in the 1980s.

Not only did the format change in the 80s, but the show made the big move from daytime to the evening. The 1980s are also when the world first met Pat Sajak and Vanna White.

So grab some consonants and a vowel as we dive into the history of one of the most popular game shows in history: Wheel of Fortune.
