Guest Smues Report post Posted March 14, 2006 Rod Roddy dies, Game Show Network makes an awful clone of the show, and now this. Sad times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 My parents just told me about it at dinner: "a game show host you liked just died" "Which one?" "I don't know" "Peter Tomarken?" "Yeah!" "NO!" What a shame. And he was doing volunteer work, too. Press Your Luck/Scrabble/$100K Pyramid were my favorite game shows as a kid, so I'm kinda bummed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 While I don't remember too much about him from the game show, it's still sad to see him go. Whammy must have taken it hard. On a slightly different subject: for that Press Your Luck marathon...anyone think there's a chance that the Larson episodes will be there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have aried the larson epsiodes in full before, but they won't be a part of the marathon. THe marathon will mostly be later peisodes from the 1985 season.

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 How do you know they won't show the Larson episodes? oh by the way I have a Press Your Luck game on my computer. It's fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingPK 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2006 GSN made a whole documentary about Larson (including the entire taping he was on), so I'm sure they will throw that in there as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2006 Yeah, I saw that on a rare high school sick day. I think I had figured out as a 5-year-old that there were three slides to each projector, but I never figured out the pattern that the outline travels on and which slides changed when. Pretty intricate and complicated stuff for analogue, wouldn't you say? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2006 Well, that's pretty dumb, then. I mean, that was his best work. Anyway, good episode this morning. This guy had $0 and three Whammies, and he had like six passed spins, which you can't pass. So he starts racking up the $5000+Spin spots until he's down to like one passed spin, with like three spins waiting in the earned column, $22,000 or so, and of course, he hits a fourth and that knocks him out of the game. When the other lady won, they cut to him, and he was PISSED. He was just sitting there scowling and fuming. It was great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
