- From September 1986 - by this point only a small fraction of stations were airing the show. This wound up being the last episode of the original Press Your Luck with Peter Tomarken produced (or at least aired). From September 26, 1986 - and featuring vintage 1986 commercials - it's the final episode of PYL
Pretty sure this is the best complete upload of the Sheila-Mike-Carolyn intro online, so you have my gratitude for that.
Thanks for the upload, this is by far the best quality. Maybe by the year 2034, Buzzr will FINALLY air this episode...
Thanks for not stopping on a whammy by uploading pyl😊
The final network daytime program/episode scheduled for 4pm Eastern
Noon in New York, I believe.
@TheEggplantThatAteChicago true, some markets did air it in different slots but I think he meant when the actual network scheduled it.
@@TheEggplantThatAteChicago yes, and 9:30 am in Philadelphia
the press your luck sign blanks on the outro series finale
This wasn't the first time CBS abruptly cancelled the series without any on-air finale acknowledgements. Match Game '79 still had episodes leftover on the table when it got replaced.
Plus Family Feud the year before on June 14, 1985 over at ABC. Episodes 2302-2311 as it turned out went unaired including that finale with the moving speech by Richard at the end
Until GSN and BUZZR. Hopefully Buzzr moves to the end@Rewindium
And 5 years later NBC would do the same with daytime Wheel of Fortune and Classic Concentration. The former just returned back to NBC after CBS gave up on them after its 18 month run and the latter’s last original episode went unmentioned as that. Soon after NBC began its reruns of the latter for 2 more years and change before CC disappeared for good, never to be seen again until BUZZR picked it up in 2018.
@@megamanj2004X Also for the latter, when it reran, the Home Rebus Contest plugs was chopped out and the Home Rebus Contest episodes itself have been sliced to only 19 minutes by NBC.
@@megamanj2004X The finale of Family Feud Challenge also went unmentioned as the following Monday, reruns begin and on Labor Day 1993, the 10am slot was given back to affiliates, and for several cities, will not have a daytime series on at 10am again. Caesar's Challenge on NBC also had its finale unmentioned as it too had several weeks of episodes left on the table and those unaired episodes would appear first run on USA later on.
"If you want to be a contestant on 'Press Your Luck'... FORGET IT!"
For the next 33 years.
For the next 16 years until Whammy: The All-New Press Your Luck and 33 years for abc’s own take on Press Your Luck.

LOL!!!! Obviously a reference to the finale of that other Peter Tomarken game show from three years earlier--HIT MAN (also announced by Rod Roddy)! ;) ;)
@@pinedelgado4743 well so long
This show could've made it to 1987. I really believe that.
I'm guessing that WCBS didn't air Press Your Luck at 4 pm like the network typically did in its final months.
That's a rather late hour for the networks to be broadcasting daytime game shows.
@@pinedelgado4743 4 pm ET was basically a graveyard for network programming.
I would have love to know what the prize was after the Dinnerware in Round 1 was. To me it look like a Ski Trip to somewhere. at the 11:26
I maybe wrong about the Ski Trip, I might see a Person riding a Horse? after the Dinnerware, It could be maybe Horse Riding Lessons? Maybe if the Rest of September of Episodes where around then maybe we can see if there new short livid prizes before the final episode.
@@greenwater735 Horse Riding Lessons was never a prize. Answering Machine makes the most sense.
Based on the prize rotation for square #2 (Reno, Earrings, Diamond Ring, Las Vegas, Dinnerware, Answering Machine) and trying to zoom in x8.0 on a speed of x0.25, it appears as though the prize was the Answering Machine worth $300.
the show lost a lot of cleatance when it got moved to the 4/3 pm slot for the new Card Sharks, as after this, they would give up on the time slot, but it would soon have a nice long rerun life on USA
A sad irony in that opening promo
21:43 - Sorry Andy, your bank of $25,972 of cash and prizes got stolen from the Whammy.
Peter would go on & do another game show "Wipeout" (September 1988 till April 1989 in Syndication) from Paramount. NOT the ABC show with Jill Wagner.
Peter hosted Bargain Hunters for ABC Daytime in the summer of 1987.
@@good03boy 1987 pilot episode: ua-cam.com/video/yGa5-jKFM0o/v-deo.html (part 1) BUT I had to work as a janitor at the Midland, Michigan County Courthouse & I missed that game show. (July till September 1987 on ABC)
21:43 The FINAL PAINFUL WHAMMY in Peter Tomarken's PYL...
The Monday after this episode, Rod Roddy would go to The Price Is Right.
Rod Roddy was the full time announcer on The Price is Right starting in February 1986.
@@UrsusTheodorusdoesGameShows oops! Got the dates mixed up.
The show was cancelled in august 1986 because of declining viewership after three years and the desire for stations to have the 4 pm slot returned to local control. A side effect of this was that it allowed CBS network flagship WCBS to begin development of a noon newscast. The newscast would not premiere until January 1987 as the station was contracted to air programming in the network’s 4 pm timeslot on a one day delay at noon for several years. Between the final episode of Press Your Luck and the premiere of the noon newscast, the syndicated game show Strike it Rich was aired as an interim replacement, but that show lasted for only 13 weeks in the noon timeslot before it was moved off the station upon the premiere of the noon newscast. Strike it Rich was canceled in March 1987 due to low ratings and declining clearance rates; the final episodes aired in May of that year after which the show went into reruns.
