    Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
    Seth Nelson CBS, Daytime, Mid 80s. An exciting game show is played on the television screen. That game is called "Press Your Luck!!!!!" It's a show where, at first, three contestants HAVE to go through and answer trivia questions. After commercial, the fun begins: a giant, blooping, colorful video board (looks like a board game) has prizes, cash, and WHAMMIES switching places while lights flash on the squares, hoping NOT to get whammied!!!!!And yes, I've seen that ice cream man two-parter, on "The 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time" on GSN. It was exciting, seeing how all the cash and three prizes went to him. It might ruin the excitement for some, but it's still good. This was an exciting show, and I can see this on 11:30 on GSN.10 stars
    Catherine_Grace_Zeh First off, I must say that this is a fun game show. Also, I haven't seen every episode. However, I do know the show very well. Every time I've watched it, I've had a lot of fun playing along and watching. This makes me long to be a contestant. The thing I like most about it is when the contestants spin. I hope the Game Show Netowrk keeps it one the air so I can keep watching and playing along for a long time. If that happens, I will be really happy. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever. Now, in conclusion, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.
    mattkratz This was one of my all-time favorite game shows. I used to love watching it when I was a kid. Who could forget the chants of "Big Money...No Whammies...STOP!!!!"? The Whammies were absolutely hilarious and were quite possibly the main stars of the show. That and the host, Peter Tomarken, who did a really good job on the show as a host. It was entertaining to watch (and I'm not just talking about the Whammies) as the players sometimes had to decide whether or not to pass off their spins to another contestant to avoid hitting the Whammies. (Boy, these Whammies sure pop up a lot in my comment, don't they? They were that memorable.) The prizes and money were all good. I never saw the Michael Larson episode but wish I had.*** out of ****
    goleafs84 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.
