ACME Wheel - Episode 20 (Season 2 Fall Finale)

Rated TV-PG (CC; Stereo)

TVLubber: While you watch ACME Wheel, make sure your room is brightly lit, and don't get too close to the monitor. Got it?

[Showtime!]

Jon: [gets out of a car with a key in his hand] These set of keys start this Honda Fit. [grabs a bowl of four keys and puts in the key and mix them up] But four of them do not. One of our contestants could be driving this car home, today on...!
 
Audience: WHEEL...OF...FORTUNE!!!
 
[Applause]
 
Greg: The famous wheel is spinning your way towards thousands of dollars and cash! And now from the ACME Studios, here are the stars of our show, Jonathan Mann!
 
[Jon enters HQ; cheers and applause]
 
Jon: Thank you! Thank you!
 
Greg: And the raccoon who wishes he eats pies all day, Freddie!
 
[Freddie slowly enters HQ with his stomach full]

Jon: Hello, everyone! Welcome to the show. I hope all of you kids have finished eating your Halloween candy.

Freddie: And look at my belly. It's getting bigger and bigger. It looks like my bellybutton is getting squished. Not only I've eaten candy, I've ate a big juicy pie that was cookin' at the girl cubs' cave. And now my stomach is very full. [groans]

Jon: Well, looks like you need to start exercising daily and eat lots of fish. 

Freddie: After the show, I'll visit Jester at his gym. He'll help me out here. 

Jon: Why not you put on pants while I want to remind the viewers at home about something.

Freddie: Okay. [leaves HQ]

Jon: Folks, today's show will be our last one of the fall season. We are going to relax for about ten weeks. 'Cause beginning next week, ACME will air specials and movies throughout the holiday season and that will be followed by reruns of our show this past year. And we will be back in the middle of January for our winter-spring season. Right now, we got three contestants who will be spinning towards cash and maybe a brand new car and Captain Lee is going to introduce them right now.

[Now, to the contestants]

Greg: She visited Universal Studios and enjoys reading holiday stories! From Long Island, meet Felicia Singe!

Her family is from New Mexico and she's into horseback riding. From Brooklyn, meet Gabi Miller!

He enjoys ice fishing, camping, and hopes to visit Yellowstone National Park someday. From Jersey City, New Jersey, say hello to Jonah Morimoto!

[Applause]

Jon: All right, contestants. You know how the game is played. Let's take a look at our wheel.



Freddie: The category is Food and Drink. Like treats and candy and a big juicy pie!
