Press Your Luck coming to Game Show Network
One of my favorite game shows of all time, Press Your Luck, is finally coming to the Game Show Network. It will be on 3 times daily (9:30 am, 9:30 pm, and 1:30 am) starting September 1.
Fans of the Whammy, rejoice!

Iron Chef,
I don't know about Press your luck being rigged but here is the story about the man who broke the bank on the show. He memorized the patterns of the flashing lights and went on to win over $100,000

This is still one of my favorite game shows.

Are we that hard up for script ideas? Oh wait - they are.

Unfortunately, judging by the write-up, this episode probably won't ever be aired again.

I distinctly remember that episode airing. It was my fave show of all time when I was growing up, and watching that guy play was incredible. He didn't do any chanting at all, just sat quietly and watched the lights go and stopped it at $5000+ over and over again. It was a sight to behold.

Those were good shows as well. SOTC and PYL used to be on at the same time I think.
Plus why doesn't GSN show the old Price is Right episodes?

Speaking of great game shows, anyone watching the Let's Make A Deal marathon on GSN this week? Mostly from the early 70's, these shows are reminding me what a great host Monty Hall was. Love how he messes with everyones minds. Love the old prizes (especially the Vegas and Toyotas- Manufacture's retail price: $3,241 and 30 cents!)

OH YES!!!! Ever since we got the Game Show Network, I have been waiting for that to come back on. That is my favorite game show of all-time. I used to watch that growing up, and Peter Tomarken was cool, and I can't believe they're finally going to show it!!!!!!!!! F YEAH!!!!!!!!!
