Talk:Let's Make a Deal

message: So, where's the NPOV problem? The page details the various deals used on the show, and stays to the point.  I don't get it.--TLEberle 00:03, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I believe Closing Segment Desperation Deals needs to be rewritten. It's way too long and keeps repeating itself. Some POV as well, like "even funnier". Suede 08:54, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Did the late 1960's version of LMAD employ an in-house band for its incidental music? --  Denelson83  06:33, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I notice there is no information for this. I can safely say for sure, that this was part of the show in the mid '70s. Recently, on a Saturday night block, one of the episodes aired with Milton Berle playing for a home viewer in Chicago. I can also remember Marty Allen playing for a home viewer also(on an episode that aired several years back on GSN). I'd add this, but I need to find the information first....Hdayejr 16:39, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Has anyone else noticed that many of the supposedly rented live animals were frequently worth more than the secondary prizes?  I.e., a cow is worth more than (frequently hideous) living room furniture.  And the current claim that it would be impossible to take a cow home is specious; it's no harder to get a cow to some place you can keep it for future sale than it is to get living room furniture you don't want stored and sold.  I question the claim that people were allowed to keep Zonks.  I have always presumed they were give consolation prizes instead.76.234.131.10 22:21, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

message: There's no reason to construct a succession box entry for the new version until it actually premieres. If there eventually is an SB entry, though, it's going to be awfully cluttered with two time slots in there (10 AM/3 PM). How do we want to deal with this? FWIW, I find succession boxes about TV schedules extremely confusing for the reader and not all that relevant to the content of the article.JTRH (talk) 13:07, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I wonder what, if anything, should be done with the "2009 version" section. Looking at the whole article, the "Format" section already introduces elements of the new show, particularly the Big Deal of the Day. So it seems kind of strange that the 2009 version is almost "re-introduced" at the very end of the article. Ideally, I'd like the information to be used in a "Broadcast History" section, either within the main article (e.g. Tic-Tac-Dough), or as part of a separate article entirely, like Jeopardy! broadcast history.

message: "it is one of three game shows in the United States to have aired at least one new episode in at least six consecutive decades."
This does not make very much sense, I'd rephrase it but I'm not entirely sure what it means. Is this saying each decade it's aired at least one episode? TrevorLSciAct (talk) 14:48, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Different versions of the show, with new episodes, have been on the air at some point in the 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, 2000's and now 2010's. IIRC, the other two are The Price is Right and To Tell the Truth. JTRH (talk) 16:10, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  What?! 

message: Thanks to whoever for correcting (or deleting) the copyright credit to the current version of the show.  Does anyone know who the copyright holder is on the new CBS version?  I know the copyright credit on the official LMAD site is "Let's Make A Deal, a Joint Venture", implying that Monty Hall himself owns the franchise. Hiphats (talk) 19:36, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: How does that imply that Monty owns the franchise? It could very well be a joint venture between two (or more) other entities. Monty could have sold his interest. I'm not even sure Hatos-Hall Productions exists any more. Have they produced a game show since the 1986(ish) Split Second? I know they didn't produce the 1990 NBC daytime LMAD - I think that was Dick Clark Productions and Ron Greenburg, with Monty as a "consultant". JTRH (talk) 21:30, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

text: I don't know. My comment was directed at the fact that there's no verifiable evidence to support the "implication" that it's Monty. JTRH (talk) 12:42, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyright holder 

message: In my opinion, the article is talking more about the various games used in the show than the show itself. There's precious little about the show's development, or the many years that Monty Hall hosted it; in fact, it's way too focused on the current Wayne Brady version. I have some books on game shows that I think could add some historical reference to the article, and perhaps a separate List of Let's Make a Deal trading games could be created. Discussion?  --McDoobAU93 19:35, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Well we have an LMAD article problem, some people put in Jonathan Mangum as the host! He is not the host, he is Wayne's sidekick [meaning he announces and he assists Wayne on some deals] ACMECrimeNet (talk) 11:59, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
