Could GSN want to make another version of Whammy!

They cant because that one guy cheated and won a bunch of money.

Hello! The 21st century is calling! Please step away from 1958 now!

Michael Larson did not cheat. He paid attention to the light patterns.

If GSN made a new remake of Whammy I would be in heaven because I would practically watch it every morning and it cheers me up when I'm lonely or sad and I think a new Whammy would be better because instead of the Big Bank I would invent a square called Triple It and how it would work is that anytime a contestant would land on Triple It the contestant would get three extra spins and their money would triple to 5,000 cash. And as for the host of this new Whammy I would choose Newsradio star Dave Foley because I have a crush on him and he would be great as a host of Whammy,

The 2002-03 show, especially on weekend mornings does well enough for GSN right now. But, I couldn't see another version in the near future.

please folks let's revive it as the classic 1983-1986 style and not the 2002-2003 style because most people remember the 80's format more than the 02 format.

also classic hand-drawned whammies used instead of the cgi-renedered Whammies please.

So what? If you're reviving a game show people would remember it as the most recent version, especially people watching GSN now since GSN doesn't show 1980's Whammy!.

yeah, but i haven't even seen a video game version of Whammy! yet or any GSN original program for that matter, heck i doubt that Ludia isn't even interested on creating one based on the GSN series.

[Lingofan97]

No one wants to make a video game version of Whammy! There are popular video games for Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, TPIR and "Millionaire" because those are popular game shows right now. No one would buy Whammy!

that is true Lingofan97, but what about the 2006 Game Show Marathon's 4th episode with Ricki Lake reviving the old 83-86 set?

Rikki Lake was just a bad host of Family Feud.
