  1. SANTA MONICA, California (AP) -- A former TV game show host and his wife were killed Monday morning when their small plane crashed into Santa Monica Bay, authorities said. Rescue crews were searching for a third person also aboard the plane.

    The bodies of Peter Tomarken, 63, host of the hit 1980s game show "Press Your Luck," and his wife, Kathleen Abigail Tomarken, 41, were identified by the Los Angeles County coroner's office.

    The plane was on its way to San Diego to ferry a medical patient to the UCLA Medical Center, said Doug Griffith, a spokesman for Angel Flight West, a nonprofit which provides free air transportation for needy patients.

    Griffith said the pilot was a volunteer for the group. According to the FAA, the plane was registered to Tomarken and he was the pilot.

    The plane apparently had engine trouble and was headed back to Santa Monica Airport, located about two miles inland, but went down about 9:35 a.m. just off shore, said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer.

    Rescue boats and divers searching for the third person believed to be aboard the plane were clustered about a half-mile southwest of the Santa Monica Pier where the plane went down in about 19 feet of water.

    Luis Garr said he didn't hear the engine but heard the splash as the plane "kind of landed into the water."

    "It's a big splash, a huge splash. ... Then it started going down," Garr said. "The wings were still floating so I was, `Get out! Get out!' because the door was still available to get out and nobody came out. So the plane kept going down, down, down."

    Tomarken's death was first reported by "Entertainment Tonight."

    "Press Your Luck" was known for contestants shouting the slogan "Big bucks! No whammies!"

    Tomarken's agent, Fred Wostbrock, said his client's first game show was "Hit Man!," which ran 13 weeks on NBC, followed by the four-year hit "Press Your Luck" on CBS. He also was on "Bargain Hunters," "Wipe-Out" and "Paranoia."

    "He was always a fun guy to be around, and he just loved the genre of game shows," Wostbrock said.

  2. well I think they need to show it more than once, but I think that normally on Sunday's (it is on christmas day right) that TBS normally has shit on. The weekdays I always catch yes,dear and on monday nights Family Guy. Other than that I haven't seen anything decent on TBS, either that or I'm away too much.

  3. Funny, I was just watching that too. I decided to flip to Fox, and saw....that....and I nearly had a heart attack :P. What's really sad is that she was yelling all these horrible extremist christian things while her little 6 year old daughter was there. The Southern States really scares me :P.

    EDIT- http://www.fox.com/tradingspouses/

    Scroll down and go to the white box with a picture of her and video to see what we're talking about :P.

  4. Everyone must bow down to the goddess that is Shawnee Smith. I have yet to see the first one, but will soon as she is in it :). Without spoilers, can someone tell me if it was just random acts of violence, or did it have a really cool plot with it as well?

  5. Mr. Javert, it's sad to see my favourite diary go. I've read for about 2 years now, and they were an awesome 2 years. Congratulations for making a diary that lasted 5 and a half years (or so) game time...that's no small feat. You must have one hell of an attention span. A question though: Will you be continuing writing diaries at all? I'd love to see you try a WCW diary from the mid-90s.

    Theme: Tatanka has just returned to the WWE as a full time competitor. It's your job to make a promotional poster for Tatanka's official return match on Raw. You can pick whatever opponent you want on Raw, but Tatanka will be a face, so make sure it's a heel opponent. The colours are completely up to you.

  8. Either the final Dawson episode of Family Feud, when he made the most heart wrenching speech since Ric Flair in late 1998 on Nitro, or Johnny Carson's last Tonight Show.

    Both very emotional for me, although I was sort of young during the Carson one, and saw the Feud one on tape.

  9. From the beta copy he gave me, the game is pretty good, once he gets the errors out it should be even better. I'm not a fan on the main menu as it's too cluttered, but the game is overall pretty good.
