The original is much better. I'm not a fan of Todd Newton and most (With the exception of Woolery's "Lingo") GSN originals are horrible and cheap.

I don't like Whammy either but would disagree on the originals. Grand Slam, The American Bible Challenge, 20Q, and The Chase are some of my favorites. My problem is none of them lasted long enough.

But what I think caused Whammy to be cancelled when Season 2 debuted they added more stuff like the Big Bank question to the board to make Whammy more awesome. But at least after Whammy got cancelled by GSN we got to see Todd Newton do more shows like Hasbro's Family Game Night which aired on Hub Network "Now Discovery Family Channel" and he has become a big star in game shows today

I agree with you Bestie. I have not seen the latest Whammy. So I cannot say how good it is, but I liked the old one!

Well I guess I'm the odd man out because I like both versions of Press Your Luck.

Whammy! The All-New Press Your Luck was a decent modernization of the original show, but it didn't last very long. Was it any good?

I was very excited to see it again on GSN. Also excited to see a new version coming to TV.

BUT! The new show is a HUGE disappointment to me.
Yes its a piece of trash like most stuff now!!
