I love this show and began to discover just recently after the untimely death of host Peter Tomarken. I really didn't get into the show despite it being very popular. That is until a few months ago. As I really loved the show a lot. It is a great show despite running for three years. It has indeed have a great following. With three players trying to win cash and prizes. But the catch is to avoid the Elmo like devilish Whammy who will jump up and take everything away from them. Peter is a great host. This show fits him like a glove. Rod Roddy was good as the announcer and the sometimes sidekick. Again I can't believe this show lasted for three years. But it really found an audience on the USA Network then and Game Show Network now! Here is for more generations of Whamminites like myself I am calling them. LOL. To see over and over again!

This was one of my all-time favorite game shows. I used to love watching it when I was a kid. Who could forget the chants of "Big Money...No Whammies...STOP!!!!"? The Whammies were absolutely hilarious and were quite possibly the main stars of the show. That and the host, Peter Tomarken, who did a really good job on the show as a host. It was entertaining to watch (and I'm not just talking about the Whammies) as the players sometimes had to decide whether or not to pass off their spins to another contestant to avoid hitting the Whammies. (Boy, these Whammies sure pop up a lot in my comment, don't they? They were that memorable.) The prizes and money were all good. I never saw the Michael Larson episode but wish I had.*** out of ****

This the THE BEST game show ever. I used to watch this game show as a kid. I fell in love with the show immediately. I liked the little whammy cartoons, my favorite being the bad dance whammy. And I loved the concept of the game. I wish it was this easy to win big bucks.Now that I am an adult, I am still in love with the show becuase of the silly questions, and the crazy, but memorable contestants. I am currently taping all of the episodes on the Game Show Network.To sum it up, this is a game show that people of all ages can enjoy.

I won't get into too long of a review, but I want to say that I love this show! It's a good, old game show. As good as "Jeopardy!", and considerably better than that other has-been game show . . . er, I mean "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" (which I did like in its heyday). I haven't watched the new "Whammy!", but no reason to, IMO, since it's just this with more up-to-date graphics and technology. Love the Whammies, BTW.Seven stars.
