they showes Dennis James hosting LMAD because at the time this demo was made no episodes oof TNPIR had been taped.this was a demo of TNPIR for CBS and its affiliates in an effort to sell the idea of an updated version of the show to them.
Seems the one game was turned into "Take Two" where you add 2 prices together to form a total. The other game was turned into Ten Chances. Very interesting pitchfilm. Little could they have realized way back in 1971 that in 2011, 40 years later, the show would still be on. Of course the 1956-65 version did quite well for itself too.
Now I know it may show Dennis James in the "LMAD" clip, but I'm guessing that Goodson-Todman must have gotten special permission from Hatos-Hall to show the clip. I also find it interesting that there's no mention of the daytime version. At the time it must have just been a backseat idea to the weekly syndicated version. I'll bet at the time Mark Goodson had no idea how big a hit this idea would be.
I don't think people realize how much Barker's TPIR ripped off LMAD. Let's see-- three big doors, picking contestants out of the audience, playing various mini-games, allowing the top two winners to compete in a winner-take-all bonus round--- sounds pretty similar to me yet none of that was in the Cullen version.

Damn I wish Game Show Network showed this episode before trashing LMAD for their own crap.

It was only supposed to be a weekly syndicated nighttime version. CBS was the one who wanted and pitched a daytime version to Mark Goodson.

Thirty-seven years and several hosts later, TPiR continues going.

Wow, i wonder where TPIR got their ideas from. I never knew LMAD was so much like price.

@spunker88 Except that Let's Make A Deal was more humour-oriented.

Well, also think of how much Barry/Enright ripped off Match Game 77 with The Hollywood Connection.

Mark Goodson was actually quoted as being a secret big fan of the LMAD. And yes you are correct, TPIR ripped off a lot from LMAD.

He probably gave Monty the job on Beat the Clock '79 as compensation.

They can sort of get away with it now since the rights to both programs are now owned by the same company.

It has to be the daytime version; not a full episode was found by traders!
Hondo20132 3 years ago
@thewhammy83 I think it is too. That Plymouth Satellite is almost the same type that was used in the 1971-1972 series of "Adam 12"!
