Subject: 80's tv game shows?.......

Written By: pokey on 08/29/02 at 09:48 p.m.

I cannot for the moment, think of any 80's game shows.
Anyone else come up with any. Must be late in the evening, my brain is in neutral. ::)

Press Your Luck.  Had a little character on there called the Whammy.  Loved to steal your money.  Also did impressions of '80's icons, my favorite being the Boy George Whammy, who would come out singing "Who would ever hurt a Whammy…" and then get hit on the head with a hammer, which flattened him!

There was this one music trivia game show in the 80s, but I can't remember the name. Each week there were two surprise musical guests.
