• I’ve been asking myself for a few weeks now why the fuck isn’t there a Price is Right video game? Or at least, a modern version cuz I vaguely remember playing one or seeing one on the shelf years ago, maybe PS2 or earlier?

    Shows like The Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune are understood across generations.

    But I also grew up watching late 1980s obscurity like Scrabble, Supermarket Sweep, and Press Your Luck.

    “NO WHAMMY!”

      While in college I learned I could occasionally withdraw money I didn’t have from my bank account. I’d only take out about $40 and my account would go negative.

      While the ATM was processing I stand there tapping the machine repeating “No wammies”

      Old school price is right is the goat. But I freaking love supermarket sweep and press your luck.

    A flu was how I saw the original Star Wars trilogy – I think I also timed a flu with a James Bond marathon.

    Wonder if they still have those kind of marathons for sick kids to trip across - been eons since I’ve watched cable.

      I marathoned the Lord of the Rings trilogy ~15 years ago on cable.

      It was awful. Commercials were bad enough, but I’d only seen the extended editions, and getting through all three movies in like 7 hours felt like absolute blasphemy. It would cut to a commercial break and when it came back it’s like they skipped 30 minutes every time.

    And then he hits on your Mom, and tries to trick her into reaching into his pocket. It doesn’t work because his creepy shit only worked on the women who were required to interact with him for their careers.
