Subject: Big Bucks! No Whammys!
Press Your Luck was the greatest game show in the history of television. It was totally awesome!
The old reruns can be seen Monday through Friday on Game Show Network at 6:30 and 10:30 AM, and also at 6:30 and 10:30 PM, Pacific time; the two morning shows on the same day feature the same "episode," as do the two evening shows (a different one from the one that airs in the morning).
Plus, there is now a petition drive on to get the show back on the air; for more information, refer to this Web page:

I confess to watching Press Your Luck from time to time on the Game Show Network. I especially like the commercial they show promoting the show, the one with the Whammy! album. The Whammy's dressed up like Michael Jackson and Boy George!!! Very 80s!!! 8)

I remember a friend and I watching TV one time, and this show came on. I was glued to the set, I fell in love with it automatically. Now, if I only had cable, maybe I could see it again...

I read on www.tvgameshows.net that PYL might be remade. They are still in the talking stage of it.
Also there is a downloadable version at www.crossbearer.com.

This has to be my favorite game show ever! I watched it when it originally aired in the '80s, then in reruns in the '90s, and now in the 2000s. ;D

:'( we do not get press your luck on cable here. i will have to write a letter to the cable company demanding it. it would be nice to see it back on tv, as it was one of my favorite game shows (along with classic concentration).
