Game Shows

Press Your Luck just came out this week on TV
I used to watch it back in the 80s
One guy actually figured out the pattern to the Whammy board
He won 110,237 dollars
If you don't hit a Whammy you keep getting more money and prizes
But if you hit a Whammy you lose everything
Hit four Whammies and you are out of the game
This guy kept hitting the 5,000 and an additional spin which kept him going
Now they have larger prizes and the show is an hour long
So the person that wins gets to win additional more in a bonus round
Another show that is new is Holey Moley, a minigolf game
Card Shark is another one brought back from the 80's
In this one you simply have to guess higher or lower than the face card
If you have an ace it is simply lower, unless it is the same card
In the old game you lost nothing, in this one you lose whatever you bet
I still watch Jeopardy after James Holzhauer lost after winning 131,127
Just in one show, and racked up over 2 million in total
I also enjoy Family Feud

About this poem:
I've spent a lot of my TV watching time watching game shows. One I wish they would bring back is Name That Tune where they got some songs with a clue and one note from the song.
