@MeatwadSoldier I can't believe they also coaxed Neal Hefti out of retirement to write a new theme song that was just a chorus singing "BREAKING BAD!!! BREAKING BAD!!!" over and over again.
@Srirachachau The game show Press Your Luck (of "Big Bucks! No Whammies!" fame) was actually a revival of an earlier show called "Second Chance," which aired for four months in 1976 and has never re-aired.
@ShrekShark2@Y2K_mindset It's a shame, because the music in that show is pretty damn good. But yeah, knowing what we know now, the story is just preposterous

@HexagonTiles@lporiginalg I figured there had to be more to this story. In most places in the US power/gas companies are not allowed to shut off heat for non-payment during winter.
@BakshiChiefFren The only proper response is to look into their camera and say "Let me take a few moments to tell your audience about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints..."
