For this weekend’s Blog Blast, Parent Bloggers Network is asking us to reminisce about our favorite game shows. I like game shows, I don’t watch any one of them regularly any more, but when I was a kid, my Grandma Sullivan got me hooked on The Price Is Right. I watched it during college if I had a free period during that time, and when I worked in an office, we could get CBS on the radio so we would listen to it from our desks. I found myself watching it again after Kaitlyn was born. I’m not as big a fan of it with Drew Carey, but I still try to play along with the games.
I also enjoy Jeopardy and Family Feud, and I like to yell at the screen while watching Deal or no Deal. But the game show I always really had a soft spot for was Press Your Luck. Contestants had a big button in front of them, and they watched a light move around a screen with spaces on it for cash and prizes. The catch was, there were also spaces that brought up the “whammys”, little creatures who “ate” up everything they had won. So the contestants would yell “big bucks, big bucks, no whammys!” while they were waiting to press the button. It was a simple idea but lots of fun to watch.

I love family feud, even more interesting to watch the funny answers that some of the contestant gives.
