Press Your Luck

I just got the game show network 6 days ago. I was flipping around the television at about 9:30 pm(3:30 pm EST) and I saw an episode of "WHAMMY! THE ALL NEW 'PRESS YOUR LUCK'". I enjoyed the little whammy running about and taking people's money. The next day I saw an episode of the original "PRESS YOUR LUCK". I liked it even better than "WHAMMY!". I now find myself taping it and watching it when I get home. It's addictive.

This was the best game show ever. Everyone I know has fond memories of the whammy... The game show was a lot flashier than the other shows on the air at the time. High rollers went too slow to enjoy. That bingo game they had was terrible! Overall, Press Your luck was great if you saw it.

For as long as I can remember, this was one of my all-time favorite shows. I used to get a big laugh out of the Whammies taking all the contestant's money because each Whammy had a different look and said something really funny. One that always sticks out in my mind was the Whammy that was dressed like Elvis and how he broke his hip dancing. That was a hoot! I even used to do the whole "c'mon, big bucks, c'mon, big bucks" routine along with a contestant, much to my mom's annoyance 'cause this was pretty much at the bottom of her list of favorite shows. I'm just glad that it's found a home on Game Show Network where a whole new generation can hope that they won't lose all their money.

When I was younger, I would watch this game show every afternoon. It became a tradition when the reruns aired on the USA Network in the afternoons several years ago. I was sad to see the reruns go, but now "Press Your Luck" has been revived on "Game Show Network" 4 times a day!

In case you don't know, "Press Your Luck" has a light-up board, with prizes, spins, and money on it, as well as a pictures of a sneaky little creature, the "Whammy," whom is out to get your money. 3 contestants answer questions in round one to gain spins, then in round two they collect money, prizes, and spins with their earned spins. If they land on any of the "Whammy" spots, they will lose all their money, but can earn it back with existing spins. The Whammies will always dance across the screen in animated form, which si qute comical. 4 Whammies ends your game, and the person with the most the most money is the winner.

This was a great game show, and I am so happy it's back in reruns. Long live the whammies, just avoid them at all costs!

Press your luck is so great to watch I love it when the contestants spin the big board it keeps me on the edge of my seat, and the whammies are very funny. I read gameshow network is planning to make a new press your luck I can't wait to see it!
