* Most of the Chuck Woolery ''[[Wheel of Fortune]]'' is missing, if not erased. Only a handful of episodes exist, as do some (often low-quality) clips of others. Pat Sajak's early daytime era (he took over in December 1981) is better-reprsented, as are the versions hosted by Rolf Benirschke (1989) and Bob Goen (1989-91). Even the three [[ |

Even the three [[pilot]]s (''Shopper's Bazaar'' with Woolery {1973} and both attempts by Edd "Kookie" Byrnes {1974}) exist. In comparison, the syndicated nighttime version (1983-present) is known to be completely intact. |

** In a lesser example, three episodes had entire puzzles edited out. The first (taped in San Francisco and aired November 2, 1992) removed a round with an answer of VANNA'S PREGNANT because she miscarried before the episode made it to air; in its place, viewers saw a three-minute spiel on San Francisco, followed by a post-production clip of Pat standing at the puzzle board and announcing who won that round. Two New Orleans episodes aired in November 2005 each had one puzzle removed before airing because it was believed the answers would be insensitive to Hurricane Katrina victims; instead, they showed clips of Pat and Vanna asking viewers to donate to Hurricane Katrina relief funds. Oddly, one round was restored when the episodes reran the next summer (the answer was THE LOUISIANA SUPERDOME), but the other puzzle is [[Lost Forever]]. |

** Also because of Katrina-induced evacuations, a Family Week that was supposed to air in November 2005 never even got taped. However, the families that were supposed to appear on it did get to play later in the season. |
