it was ruled that White indeed had the right to control her persona under the Lathan Trademark Act and California common law. This "right to persona" argument was thrown out in a lower court, but in White v. White argued that there was a common law right to control how her likeness is used, even though Samsung doesn't explicitly use her name or image. This inspired Vanna White on suing the company for her image although it depicted a robot, the company was trying to capitalize on her identity for promotional purposes without compensating her. But before that, Betty had to remove the price tag from Archie's back of his suit at the end.Īn October 1988 issue of Smithsonian Magazine features an ad for Samsung Electronics (created by David Deutch Associates) where a gold female robot is wearing a blonde wig, fuchsia gown and expensive jewelry turning the letter "T" crookedly on a old puzzleboard as its implies that Wheel of Fortune will become the most "Longest-Running game show" in "2012 A.D." as the company insisted that this would be "The VCR you'll tape it on" in "2012 A.D." as one of "The Future of Electronics".

As she was leaving the Lodge residence, Betty noticed that Archie was in a trash can as Ronnie was "Discarding all her old Toys!" but brough him back to the studio as quickly as possible but in order to get his job back he had to remember the two most important catch phrases in television such as "We'll Be Right Back After These Messages!" and "Please, No Prompting from the audience!". Later, Betty had to go back to her pizza delivering job called Wheel of Dough Pizza. According to Betty, without Archie the ratings for the show began to plummet as a result it later gets cancelled. But Betty reminded that "Our Game Show Host is Not for Sale!" but Ronnie selfishly reminds her "Says You Girly!" showing the $10,000 price tag on the back of his dark greenish suit as she drove off with him in the car.
But Archie reminds her once again that she has to buy something according to the rules so she decided to spend the $10K on Archie himself. In a nod to the shopping era, Archie tells her that she can buy anything with her money but according to her she thinks "It All Looks So Horribly Tacky!".
