To this day, I think this was the greatest most exciting episode in the show’s run, especially the second round, and it’s VERY CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED! Why do I say this? Here’s why (don’t look if you don’t want spoilers): Mike’s last two spins totaled $7,449 and had him firmly in first place after his turn. Think about it, how often would you wind up with what he did and end up in third place? Jeffie quietly put together her big run to the lead, using her $5,000 and a spin and Tent Trailer to move her into the lead and her last spin was more pressure packed than was led on. Jo slowly made her march towards first place after her whammy and after all that, she needed to go on the last spin at $14,829 and her last spin barely wasn’t enough. Totals by three players of $17,698, $16,829 and $15,069 in one show is terrific and NOT A SINGLE SPIN IN THE ENTIRE SHOW WAS PASSED. If this show was aired at any other time in the show’s duration, I really think we would think of this as the greatest.

Anyone in 2024 loves game shows! R.I.P. Michael Larson and Peter Tomarken

Why was the car still on the board after the guy on her right had already hit and had the car credited to him?

OKAY!!

at 14:12 the board was 700+ spin, it then changed to the Bahamas , and the other is the whammy, he had a 50/50 chance to lose it all at that spin, damn man.

Reva hit the Stainless Cookware in the previous episode, but it was in #7. She also lost that to a whammy.

The infamous Michael Larson $110,237 episode Aired June 8-11, 1984

Peter admitted he was drained after Michael Larson won $110,237 in one day alone

wow i WONDER how much its worth in todays $$ money if back then 40 years ago you can buy a car for $4000 ?

Vicki was crying at the end because Pat's screaming throughout the game shattered her eardrums.

Loreen's horseshit excuse about how she though she was passing to Ralph made no sense. He had three whammies and would be getting seven spins. If he hit one in any of those spins, the game was over and Dan was winning. He got screwed.

The Larson project.

You can tell Judi watches The Price Is Right based on a comment that Bob Barker would make from time to time. A great way to round off inarguably the greatest month in PYL history.

Today these three players are after states but they have to avoid the whammy as they play the most exciting game in their lives from television city in Hollywood it's time for press your luck

That first question in round 2 was quite interesting, since whenever I find blank video tapes, by far movies are the most common things that I find on them (even from material recorded around 1984). That said, a lot of movies were taped over soaps as I've found a number of clips and/or partial episodes on them. I did recently find some Beta tapes with some General Hospital episodes from the '80s recently, many containing Luke & Laura scenes on them.

Brad actually got no Whammies whatsoever. Even Michael Larson got one Whammy! Grant it, it was on his first spin, and almost all his subsequent spins awarded him additional spins, while Brad only got a couple extra spins on his.

Ed seems like such a nice guy. He even saved Pamela and Vicki from something scarier than a slasher villain.

If Michael had only won two spins in the 2nd round, he would've been done after the Sailboat. He would've gotten the Kauai trip, and been down to 1 spin, and when he got Pick a Corner, he would've selected $1,000+1 Spin to not lose it, and then after the Sailboat he would've been finished. But then again, if Ed or Janie had opted to pass a spin...

Spring may have been the correct answer for the rose pruning question, but winter should have been accepted. Since the plants are dormant, the plants aren't developing like they do in the other seasons, the flowers bloom on new growth from the following season, and since you prune above the ground, even if there's a little bit of snow, you can still prune them, weather permitting.

The old Jump The Shark website had the Larson episodes as the "shark jump" point, but I'd beg to differ, as there was still a lot of great exciting games to come. This was also a rare game where the same prize slide (The Car) appears twice in the same show.

14:23 Whoops.

I remember on another episode, a contestant wanted to change their mind and Peter said you can't, you already said pass. So how was this ok? If I were the other contestants, I would have been b**ching over this ruling!

Portable Spa used to be in square 7 but now it moved to square 10.

Vicky was so close to going into the hall of fame but she couldn’t do it.
