darlene Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Ah, sad. Wasn't that the game with the "Whammys"?Those little dickenses were fearsome. He was a good host for that show. Which plane crash was this, Matt?--Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smittie Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I always enjoyed watching "Press Your Luck". I think you can still find re-runs airing on GSN (Game Show Network). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
