In the last few years, ABC has wagered on its primetime game show lineup in a big way. Now the Alphabet Network has revived the Press Your Luck TV show, which was created by Bill Carruthers and Jan McCormack and ran on CBS from 1983 to 1986 before its cancellation. Will it be a Nielsen ratings winner, or will it get the WHAMMY? Will Press Your Luck be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An ABC game show from executive producers Jennifer Mullin and John Quinn, Press Your Luck is hosted by Elizabeth Banks. The series features three contestants squaring off to answer questions while trying to avoid getting wiped out by the “WHAMMY,” in a quest to win cash and prizes.

We loved the bring it back
Please bring back the show for a second season! As a fan of the original 80’s show with Peter Tomarken when I was a kid I think it’s great that kids of this generation can become fans of the show just as we 80’s kids did. Kids of this generation can become fans of the show and might want to learn about the original show with Peter Tomarken wanting to see episodes of it! It’s a great show for kids to watch!
