Heck no, PYL had more rerun years than HP did. HP's rerun life was six or so years(1 year on CBN, about 3 years combined in two runs on USA, and 18 months or so on GSN reruns in two runs). PYL had a year of syndie reruns, eight years of USA reruns, and almost 2.5 years on GSN. [/quote]
But Press Your Luck ran for three years in its original run--considerably longer than the 20 weeks for Hot Potato. Hence, Jimmy's question.
