Let's Make A Deal Monty Hall 'LMAD' 1969 TV GAME SHOW

Let's Make a Deal (also known as LMAD) is a television game show that originated in the United States in 1963 and has since been produced in many countries throughout the world. The program was created and produced by Stefan Hatos and Monty Hall, the latter serving as its host for nearly 30 years.

The format of Let's Make a Deal involves selected members of the studio audience, referred to as "traders", making deals with the host. In most cases, a trader will be offered something of value and given a choice of whether to keep it or exchange it for a different item. The program's defining game mechanism is that the other item is hidden from the trader until that choice is made. The trader thus does not know if they are getting something of equal or greater value or a prize that is referred to as a "zonk," an item purposely chosen to be of little or no value to the trader.

Let's Make a Deal is also known for audience members who dress in outrageous and unique costumes in order to increase their chances of being selected as a trader.

One of the greatest game shows of all time

The original series aired first on NBC in daytime IN COLOR from 1963-1968. Then the series moved to ABC in 1968 where it aired in both the daytime and prime time schedule LIVE and IN COLOR where it lasted until the late 1970’s. LET’S MAKE A DEAL is still the second longest running game show on daytime television

I really enjoy the pace of this show. Monty does such a fantastic job keeping it moving. It builds to the suspense of the deals. Not a lot of hosts can work like this. Ohh and I never missed Mod Squad!

Let's Make a Deal celebrated 60 years of television, this is a great game show episode!!

This is not a '63 episode! It didn't air on ABC until the late 60s! Before that it was on NBC.

Miss this, im 64 now, times were easier back then for me

Thank you for showing this, one of my fave game shows and in my opinion the 60s and 70s episodes were the best. Maybe someone might know this, considering this is from 1969 I wonder why it's in black and white since the mid 60s most things had gone to color. If anyone knows would love the info, tried to look on google and info lacking in regards to some late 60s still in black and white.

love the old lmad all the old products were so cool, , , but i thought mad squad was later 60s

To me it looked that Monty Hall was more compassionate on the Nighttime shows.

The picture quality is pretty good. Actually it's what our black and white sets looked like in the 60's with their 525 scanning lines. "The Mod Squad" sure looks better on our modern HD flat screen TV's. I'm surprised there's no cigarette ads but maybe those were only aired at night.

I thought they commercials were from 1963 but, The Mod Quad is from1968. 😅😅😅❤❤❤

I would love to see the episode that Dennis James was guest host

Was this the same announcer who did Sale of the Century 20 years later ?

[raymondcaple]
