DMann2003 Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 First one of you to say "Big Bucks Big Bucks...Oh no WHAMMY".... God that sucks, I loved that show growing up, fav game show of all time.
Guest Smues Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 Rod Roddy dies, Game Show Network makes an awful clone of the show, and now this. Sad times.
The Czech Republic Posted March 16, 2006 Report 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.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 Bummer. Whenever I was home sick or had a school holiday, I would always watch it, as well as the Price is Right.
The Czech Republic Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 Sunday is a Press Your Luck marathon, for anyone interested in some childhood-reliving
Open the Muggy Gate Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 Well, i've got sunday plans now.
ChrisMWaters Posted March 16, 2006 Report 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?

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 Posted March 16, 2006 Report 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!
KingPK Posted March 17, 2006 Report 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.
The Czech Republic Posted March 17, 2006 Report 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?
spman Posted March 17, 2006 Report Posted March 17, 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! They've listed the specific episodes they're airing on the GSN boards.
The Czech Republic Posted March 17, 2006 Report 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.
