What do you think? Do you remember the original Press Your Luck series? Will you watch ABC’s revival?
Cant wait!! Loved this show growing up
If ABC is bringing that old game show back that hasn’t been on TV since 1986.
They should bring another old game show back that hasn’t been on TV since 1986 and it was called Catch Phrase.
Looking forward to it!! Watched the old ones will be watching the new ones!
I watched the original and plan to watch this one as well.
