To answer what I know...

>Did the US version of "Whammy! The All New Press Your Luck" have any slime, gunge, or wetlook?

No....I taped the U.S. version on GSN channel for several months....and nothing wet or messy ever happened....the u.s. version was so lame...the only thing they had was "confetti". I taped around 50-60 scenes from the Philippine version though....but that ended last year.

>I wish I could get Game Show Network.

It is available to over 100 million people in the USA....you just need to pay for basic cable tv service at $25 per month.

> I still live with my parents (at age 40!), they pay for the cable, and we only get regular expanded basic service. We have 4 tv sets with digital tuners, but the >cable company encrypts (scrambles) all digital channels except for the local channels.

No kidding....there is an old saying....there is no such thing as a free lunch.

You are hilarious. You can't live your entire life for free...and expect your parents to take care of you for life. You need to get a job and make your own income....cos if you can't afford to pay $25 per month for basic cable tv....then you definitely cannot afford to be gambling in Vegas all the time...as you constantly report you are doing.

Gunge/slime on Whammy gameshow

I saw the pictures of slime on the Philippines version of Whammy that MK posted several messages below. Did the US version of "Whammy! The All New Press Your Luck" have any slime, gunge, or wetlook? I don't get Game Show Network (aka GSN). I saw one episode at my friend's house in Las Vegas, and there was no slime or water. Did any episodes of the American show have any, and if so does anybody have any vidcaps of it? I was a huge fan of the original Press Your Luck that was on CBS from 1983-1986. I used to use the screen name "Whammy" here and elsewhere on the net (and even back in the Commodore 64 direct-dial BBS days!). I changed it to Desert Hawk when people on Yahoo were misreading "whammydude" (plain "whammy" was taken) as "wham my dude" instead of "whammy dude". I always thought that Press Your Luck, excellent as it was, would have been so much better if the contestants got slimed or soaked when they hit a Whammy on the game board. I wish I could get Game Show Network. I still live with my parents (at age 40!), they pay for the cable, and we only get regular expanded basic service. We have 4 tv sets with digital tuners, but the cable company encrypts (scrambles) all digital channels except for the local channels. If you want to read more messages by me on the subject of digital tv, go to www.avsforum.com . I am there also under the name Desert Hawk. I even posted there about my interest in wetlook on a message thread about the tv show Wipeout. Wow, it's been awhile since I posted one of my extended rants here. This felt good!
