Re: TV: One Person's Trash...
New Press Your Luck is...actually pretty decent. Board looks and sounds good, appropriate amounts and spaces, Whammies are acceptable (and there are probably quite a few we haven't seen yet.) Elizabeth Banks keeps the game moving well, but seems to be holding back a bit and hasn't picked up on some of the show's mannerisms/sayings (like saying "Stop at X and a spin" or the obligatory warning about being careful about picking up a third Whammy in round 1) but give her some time.
The extended bonus round worked out better than I thought it would, and the personalized prizes are neat, but we can cut back on the sob stories. Cool part is if you just want straight PYL and don't give a hoot about the bonus game you can just watch the first half-hour.
