Wheel Of Misfortune As The Winter Of Nine's Discontent Continues
Posted by Clem Bastow at 9:06 AM on June 30, 2008
Things just keep getting better and better over at old man Channel Nine's house - after boning, axing and canning their way through the first half of the year, the trend looks like it's going nowhere - Million Dollar Wheel Of Fortune (that's it's full name, a bit like Liliane Rudabet Gloria Elsveta Sobieski, or Reginald Kenneth Dwight) has been cancelled.
You'll probably recall that, like most of the things Nine has boned so far in 2008, it was supposed to be a ratings winner. Not so, apparently!
"We are disappointed that Million Dollar Wheel of Fortune has not done as well as we had hoped," a Nine spokeswoman said.That's a relief - to be honest, Kelly Landry is a bit of an unknown quantity, so good on her for keeping a Nine gig, but most of all I'm just glad to see that the effervescent Tim Campbell lives to see another day of light entertainment television."We are delighted, however, that the show has brought two great talents to the network, Tim Campbell and Kelly Landry, who are both staying at Nine."
All is good with the world.

I was dissappointed that the show was axed after such a short run and thought Tim was great on it, they hardly gave it a go at all. But like you glad that he will be going onto other things in the network, he's a great entertainer and all round lovely guy.
