Press Your Luck - Episode 7

(Original air date - September 27, 1983)

**SPOILERS**

Well, not a terribly exciting episode, but it had a few interesting elements.

Maggie winning bugs me a bit, only because she was one of those players who foolishly put her hand practically above her head and brought it down on the stopper from that height. How can you possibly hope to aim for anything on the board that way? Rest your hand right over the stopper, girl, damn! Oh well, she won anyways, so what do I know. (I mean, sometimes her eyes weren't even looking at the board when she stopped it, GAH!)

It was fun that Howard stumped Mr. Tomarken (Not Peter, never Peter, he demands respect.) with his Imelda Marcos answer, was she not well known in America in 1983? I guess Howard read the Economist back then, good for him.

Oh, the crowd was a little rambunctious! Someone in the crowd was shouting out an answer to question 7 and they got shushed down. Easy people, figure it out. Its a game show, you don't shout answers, this isn't ugly lower-class chaos like Wheel of Fortune, mind your manners.

BONUS! Wasn't that tanning bed Maggie won kind of horrifying? It looked like a big plastic skillet. The crowd was impressed by it though, silly Californians, will you ever learn? :)
