Wheel of Fortune has been on the air for a remarkable 32 seasons! It's moments like this that make us keep watching year after year!      When I was a kid, one of my favorite memories was watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune with my grandparents at their home on the hill in Frankfort. Gramma would venture out to the kitchen to pour a little oil in the pot, and before too long the entire house smelled like popcorn! Forget about the microwave, gramma used to make it the old fashioned way.

Next, it was off to the living room where we'd sit down and turn on the huge TV that probably weighed at least seven hundred pounds. Ok, I'm exaggerating, but it looked big to a kid! I remember the excitement I used to feel when I heard those three magical words being announced by Charlie O’Donnell: "Wheel......of.......Fortune!"

Granted, I was glad when it was time for my favorite game show, but I honestly don't think I was as overjoyed as my gramma was. In hindsight, I think it was because she knew she was getting ready to kick all of our butts. She was as sharp as a tack!

Lately, there seems to be a plethora of lightning fast contestants:

In December, a dad from Pennsylvania guessed “The Lone Ranger” with just an “E” on the board. (The Wrap.com)

Watch and see how quick last night's contestant was!
