Are PYL and Second Chance considered the same show?  I would think that most fans would vote for PYL, but the way the votes are counted should elevate SC to top 10 status.
I imagine that falls in the same category as Gambit and Catch 21 or Who, What, Where and The Challengers. IIRC, when Matt rolled out the list in 2006, he mentioned it as Second Chance/PYL.

I could be wrong.

Matt listed the show in the 2006 results as "Press Your Luck/Whammy! (1983-86, 2002-04)".

Jimmy commented, "I considered "Second Chance" and "Press Your Luck" to be the same show, but I would guess nobody else made that distinction since only PYL was listed."

Matt responded, "True on both counts. Only one or two ballots specifically mentioned Whammy for that matter.  I probably should have listed Second Chance on the same line for the sake of completeness."

So if we're following Matt's 2006 rulings, we should probably include Second Chance under the Press Your Luck heading. http://www.gameshowforum.org/index.php/topic,11330.255.html

Short version: "Nobody voted for Second Chance."
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

True, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be merged with PYL. :)
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.
