The first time I saw this show I was instantly drawn to it. I loved everything about this show; The bad poetry people would send in about the show or Peter Tomarken, Rod Roddy (this was the first time I saw him), the excitement when the contestants played for prizes and "big money" as well as their greed. Also I liked the contestant's banter when they pressed their luck; "No Whammies, No Whammies, No Whammies" and the best was one guy who would scream, "BIG MONEY, BIG MONEY, BIG MONEY, AND NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMIESSSSSSSSSS!!. He still sticks out in my mind.
And of course, who could forget those wonderful Whammies?? I can still see the "Boy George" Whammy singing, "Who would want to hurt a Whammy?" to the tune of Culture Club's "Do you want to hurt me?" The pizza making Whammy and The construction worker Whammy as they would take away your winnings when you got them.
One of my all time game shows that I will never forget.
