Current Events > The revival of Press Your Luck is pretty good.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'll be honest, though. I'm not sure if it really needs a bonus round...

I agree about the bonus round, I'm sure it was added because of the possibility of games ending with the winner getting little or no winnings combined with the lack of returning champions. But I'd kind of rather have two half-hour classic games.

remember the guy who scammed the game lol

Wait, what? They brought back Press Your Luck?!

I'd fake sick as a kid to stay home and watch this and Price is Right on TV. I loved the Whammy cartoons on the bottom of the screen.

Yep. It's mainly faithful to the original, save for the bonus round for a $1,000,000, which just feels drawn out.

Yes, they aired an episode as a special tonight, and it's on Wednesdays on ABC for the summer at 8 PM, in a block with Card Sharks (another 70s/80s game show) and Match Game.

I want to watch purely for updates whammies. I need to see a Whammy on a smart phone or some other modern shit.

Nice, i'm familiar with all of these. I used to be an avid Gameshow Network viewer and watch it for hours daily, all of those older episodes of that era of gameshows.

I kinda wish they'd also revive High Rollers and Scrabble, especially the latter. Scrabble is my favorite game show of all time.
