25K Pyramid and Match Game will get a lot of hours on Thanksgiving Day, Nine in all, if I counted right. Black Friday will see ten hours of Press Your Luck and America Says. No doubt the latter skein will feature plenty of promos for the second season of the lively Family Feud knockoff, which begins on the following Monday.
Press Your Luck has always seemed like a overblown exercise in random button-pushing to me, so I'll skip that pile of episodes. I did put the show on my top 50 list, thinks to Michael Larson's brilliant solve. The show also spawned a reasonably successful revival on GSN, and PYL reruns have turned up on several networks over the years. It's got a loyal fanbase out there, and they can have it.
The other three shows are terrific, so I may take in some of their marathons. There will be plenty of eps to choose from.
