I keep running into this, and I'm trying to figure out why I can't recall this.
If you notice the main picture of Press Your Luck on Wikipedia (and a few other places), I see that the Whammy normally in square #3 is in square #2, shades of that week in early 84. I see the old GSN logo on the pic, so it has aired, but I seriously don't remember when. Something in me normally picks up on this stuff.
Please help my random mind if you have an episode reference.
