Week of the Top 10s

Today concludes the final part of the Top Ten week. This installment will feature the most random of random top tens.

Today, is the top ten random YouTube videos I could find...and like.

10. Wheel of Fortune (Speed Up/Final Spin Round)

This is one of the best 'final-spin' rounds in Wheel of Fortune. This one is from 1995 (I believe). When Pat (who spins during the final spin) hits the $5000 space, every consonant means a lot! Incidentally, (especially in later years) the final spin could make or break the game. A person that hasn't won anything the whole game, could literally comeback and beat everyone if the spin/amount is right! Here is an example.


This one from 1989 shows that even after 3 misses, Pat SaJak can still hit a home run! Check out this one...


This one from 2007 is another speed up round--a quick one to be sure...



9. Knight Rider (Classic, season 4)

This one from 1986 when KITT was able to use 2 new modes, the first being a new Convertible function and the second (which was my favorite was...) Super Pursuit Mode. This delivered a 30% boost in straight-line speed. This also altered KITT's outer appearance. (First used on the episode, 'Knight of the Juggernaut').


8. Knight Rider (2008, season 1)

This one is from 2008 when KITT was not only reborn, but TRANSFORMED!
Part one...From Normal to Attack Mode


The rebirth of the Legend known as Knight Rider--this is a fan made tribute to the pilot movie


7. More Stuff I came across this week.

Most TV shows from back in the 1960s had a logo showing at the end. I am going to show you a few I came across...

Paramount was my favorite (mostly because of Star Trek). This one is a variant of the original from the 60s with a little fun added to it. The Pinball Variant is what this one is called. (Originally it came from Viacom from back in the 70s.)


Here is the original Viacom logo from the 70s.


Here is a Pinball version with color added for Viacom.


6. Wheel of Fortune (Part 2) Opening...
Early 2000-2001 episode.


1985 Opening..


1985 Opening II:




5. The failed attempt to save the Automakers... How depressing is that?
4. Holiday Season 2008 (What is there to look forward to when you have less money to spend?)
3. The year is FINALLY drawing to a close.
2. I have decided to make 2009 my year.
1. Happiness comes in a variety of degrees and sizes, never discount it.
