I defy you to disagree with me on this...
The best game show ever is Let's Make a Deal. I admit it---every time this show comes on the Game Show Network, I watch it. I am incredibly entertained by the prizes from the 1960s and 1970s. I love they gave away things like $100 worth of grape juice or frozen meals or contemporary fashion from a store in Dallas. It's great when Monty Hall has to pass the microphone back and forth with pitchman Jay Stewart (could they really not afford a second microphone?). The real prizes definitely amuse me more than the gag prizes, though it is fun to see the look on contestants faces when they win a giant tricycle or a herd of goats. And it doesn't end until there are a few quick deals---$100 for a hard boiled egg! Plus, intellectuals like to ponder the choices made on the show. I am glad they haven't brought it back because it wouldn't be the same, but I am considering checking out the dvd game.

Wow, I love that there are books written on this subject! My question was always "Do they really have to take home this junk?", ie, goats, or a 1-year supply of canned beets, etc.
I suspect they didn't really take the gag gifts, but I'd like to be proven wrong.
Now I'd like to see a book written on which goofy costumes led to successful Deals!
NBC was going to bring Let's Make a Deal back, but they decided on a return American Gladiators instead!
Press Your Luck. Best show ever.
No Whammies!
I was always partial to "Tic Tac Dough", but it doesn't hold up so well these days. That dragon is just so fake! That show would rule now with CGI effects. ;)
The Press Your Luck fan was too scared to reveal their idendity...what does that say?
I do enjoy Press Your Luck a lot. The updated version Whammy! just isn't the same.
What about "The Gong Show?"
Again with the anonymous comment. Are you afraid to reveal your identity? The Gong Show was AWESOME. I wish it was on GSN.
