GSN docs

The GSN Internet board doesn't spend all its time ripping Dancing With the Stars. Sometimes we actually talk about other things. Like the documentaries GSN has done over the years...

Other poster: I've never seen the "Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Sandal" which GSN aired many of years ago and it was GSN's highest rated program of all time if I recall.

It was the first time the Michael Larson episodes had been seen in a long while. That's why the 2003 show got the big number. The documentary portions around the eps were okay but not particularly memorable. You can watch the show on YouTube starting here.

Another poster: What could they say that was fascinating? It's not like there was much behind the scenes drama for years like there was with Match Game. It was 1 taping, 2 episodes. I can't imagine there was a lot to say.

You're right. The one interesting part of the surrounding documentary was the in-depth technical stuff about the big-board patterns that Larson figured out and used. Otherwise, it was just interviews and kind of random chatter about the episodes. Plus plugs for Whammy.

Funny you should mention Match Game. I actually liked the documentary GSN did on the show in 2006. Still remember Brett Somers pronouncing Richard Dawson "sexy as a snail."
