What did everyone think of the "Big Bucks" documentary? I thought it was pretty good, but was upset that we didn't get to see the whole episodes of PYL.

I thought it was good. It just amazes me how he could figure out the secret to the game..I would have never thought of it.

I think it was great. I couldn't believe Larsen had all his winnings in $1 bills. Over 100,000 dollar bills in a paper bag in his apartment. I think Larsen should've taken his winnings to the bank rather than leave it out on the floors for the robbers to steal.

My cousin told me about Michael Larson and also got me into PYL and since I'm a fan now I really enjoyed the documentary. Just goes to show you that anyone can get rich quick. Too bad he lost his money to bad investments and stuff.

I didn't see it. Was PT in it? And has anyone seen that Mini-Wheets ad? I havent seen it yet and I don't know where you usually see it. Can anyone help me here??

It was interesting. Who would think that they would have only had a handful of repeating patterns. My only complaint is that it should have only been an hour.

Brett, if you're still interested in watching, the special repeats this Sunday at 9pm

Yes, Peter narrates it.

Anyway, I only saw the last 30 min (15 of which were commercials, I swear), but it was alright. Very E! like with those fake dramatizations though.

This was a very interesting documentary! Very weird how Micheal Larson crack the code.

I tell you, Mike won the biggest bucks, I mean the BIGGEST bucks in Press Your Luck history.

Will *THEY* do an encore presentation?

First of all, I am grateful to GSN for airing these eps, as I hadn't ever yet seen them. Here are my thoughts on what I saw, and I hope I won't have to run and hide after you kind folks have heard what I think.

I honestly don't see what is so fantastic about this Michael Larsen guy....I mean, big deal, he took quite sometime to decipher the code and all, which makes him pretty intelligent, but he looked like a total zombie.
I expected to see someone younger, perhaps like a "computer geek", if you get my drift, and here was this older man who really spooked me.
What really irks me is that some fellow gameshow fans whom I have talked to about this Michael Larsen guy seem to think that it wasn't so "difficult" to do what he did. Yet in the commercial spots on GSN, you had a few people sounding like this guy was a "genius", as one lady described him. As far as I am concerned, the guy gave me the creeps and I think he didn't really have much of a life, sadly. Well, that is how I see it, anyway.

:eek:
