This is the 1983 section of the Press Your Luck episode guide. It began at 10:30 a.m./9:30 a.m. CT-MT-PT, and replaced Mark Goodson Productions' Child's Play . From September 1983 to January 1986, this show, and NBC's $ale of the Century , aired in the same timeslot, which resulted in a fierce ratings battle. Press Your Luck would often win against its competition (during the 1983-84 Season, an average of 20% of the audience watched the show, a very good number for daytime television).
