I think an educated guess for the title would be "Profiles in Praise"

This is most likely Emergency with Alex Paen, which was also known as Emergency Call.
 
Wheel of Fortune 2000

-----------
That show was fundamentally flawed. Like any other show targeted at youth, it was too hip, and too obviously educational. They would have been better off to use the real Wheel of Fortune but have kids competing.

Was this a CBS show, or syndicated?<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by mjlarochelle on 09/02/05 12:34 AM.</FONT></P>

Wheel 2000, the kiddy spin-off of Wheel Of Fortune was mc'd by Dave Sidoni and Cyber Lucy, a cyber version of Vanna . It was a CBS show and a few weeks later was also aired by Game Show Network when they carried a slate of classic game shows with children. They also added a kids' version of Jeopardy! called JEP! which was MC'd by Bob Bergen who viced Porky Pig and Tweety Bird in Space Jam, the 1996 film that had Bugs Bunny and his friends and Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls. I liked that film!

Wheel 2000 and JEP! were OK, but the game would have had better advantage using the real WOF and J!,like when they have special weeks on the two shows.

And in all the years The Price Is Right has been on CBS, I am surprised that the Big Eye and Goodson-Todman have never done a Saturday kiddy version of TPIR. That would have been cool, likesay, kids playing HI-LO to see what items the youngsters and teens use are the most and least expensive like, say, a 12 pack of Dr. Pepper, a 15 oz. box of Honey Nut Cheerios, and a bottle of Pert Shampoo as the high price items and the low priced items would be Starburst Fruit Chews, David Sunflower Seeds and Oxford Index Cards and the prize a trip to Chicago.

Great idea, but think of the taxes the parents would have to pay!

Re: Wheel of Fortune 2000

Wheel 2000 was stupid. As was the new version of Ghostwriter. I liked the original version of Ghostwriter which was on PBS and was syndicated on local stations like WTXX in Waterbury, CT and WWOR in NYC. It also aired on Noggin before they revamped the network to become Noggin/The N.
