Every dollar and prize the Whammy steals goes into the Big Bank and the contestants have a chance to hit it and therefore "Whammy the Whammy." That's a cool new addition. Everything else — the new board layout, the retooled Round One, the host, the prizes, the Double Whammy, the COMMERCIAL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME — I can do without. Even the new 3-D Whammy isn't nearly as charming as his kitschy 2-D ancestor. If GSN would only go back to what made "PYL" so great, they'd have a hit on their hands. Even if I hosted. <i>Especially</i> if I hosted. :D I can think of one, and only one, improvement that “Whammy!” made on the original “Press Your Luck”: the Big Bank.

But the host was so annoying it almost ruined the show! The Best host on the best game show ever, is Gene Rayburn on Match Game! I laugh my _______ off every time! Enjoyed your site!

Can you believe I've actually met people who LIKED the new version better?! Sacrilege! I like almost all the game shows, really. I was home a lot when I was young, so I spent a lot of my time with USA Network. Mnology - You'd be surprised how many times I can work "No whammies, no whammies, STOP!" into any given conversation ;) Matt - "$5000 and a spin! Press your luck, or pass?"

I was just having a chat about Press Your Luck. Listening to people playing on <a href="http://www.ninjam.com" rel="nofollow">ninjam</a> and someone does the "You stopped on a Whammie" jingle. Sad part was, nobody new what I was talking about when I said "No whammies, no whammies, STOP!". They thought I was asking them to stop playing their whammy bar. Harrumph. Funny.

"Press Your Luck" is the bestest game show in the history of ever and everyone responsible for the terrible updated edition should be drug out into the street and shot. Starting with the goofy host they have. Peter Tomarken would kick his ass while Rod Roddy did play-by-play. I also like "Russian Roulette," but wish the questions were harder. "Bumper Stumpers"? I remember that show. They used to air it in the afternoons on USA Network. They had a lot of cheesy game shows then. When I was sick from school, I'd watch them all. Thanks for not considering me a chauvinistic asshole. :D mike You’re killing me, you temptress. “Press Your Luck” is the bestest game show in the history of ever and everyone responsible for the terrible updated edition should be drug out into the street and shot.
