[quote name=\'Sonic Whammy\' date=\'Oct 30 2005, 09:01 AM\']With all of the comments made about the game shows that came up this time around, a couple of interesting observations:
1) Press Your Luck, compared to other shows they've discussed over the years (game and non-game alike), got off very easy from the roasting, I think. Maybe it was just me, but the comments made didn't seem very hurtful for the most part...
2) Except of course for Chuck Woolery. I admit I was surprised when he said he never liked it. But hey, everyone has their own taste for certain game shows, even the hosts themselves. Hey, let's not forget, we know what Peter thought of Bargain Hunters and Hit Man...
3) Final PYL comment: They listed the show in 1983, which is when the show debuted. Makes sense. But they only showed clips from ONE episode, and that one episode was Bruce/Jo/Paige from 86! Strange... Since GSN doesn't have a hold of that ep, who gave it to VH1 then? And why didn't this guy give them more eps?
4) Switching over to Pyramid, extreme props to Wille Garson. We don't hear often that the desire to be a game show celebrity is what leads you to the business. And hey, Willie WAS a celebrity on Donny's Pyramid. So he got to have his dream come true.
5) Overall, the digs on Pyramid were pretty light, too. Only major one I saw was when they talked about Dick giving answers for missed clues in the Winner's Circle. Harsh, but I guess that's ONE way to look at it...
Hey, it's all cool. I'd say over the years we've been represented very well over the years with these shows...

Yep. Hmmmm, let me see... You've missed Remote Control for the 1987 segment, you missed Win, Lose or Draw for one of the '88 segments, you've missed Wheel of Fortune on the first ILt80's first segment for 1986.
For the '90s segments, you've missed Millionaire, WBSM, and Supermarket Sweep.
