I've been laid up with a hip replacement to which it gives me a lot of tv time, i remember in the past Wheel would put little animals that would run across the bottom of the screen, little pigs and Walt Disney characters like pluto, Mickey and the like and my two little Shih Tzu's would bark at them as they would cross the screen and to this day they still look for them whenever they hear the Wheel jingle, if the people of Wheel of Fortune was to read this PLEASE put those characters back up, any kind of characters, they love it !!!! :))
