Let's Make a Deal | $30,000 Super Deal, pt. 4

[Thompsonnw]

This is one big WIN!

[loutenore33]

you people take the fun out of this

[SonicWhammy]

What's your thoughts knowing that Wayne's version IS bringing back the Super Deal for a special 2-week series celebrating their upcoming 500th show? (Don't know the exact date but the producers have confirmed it on the blogs.)

[tpir1972]

I think only 5 won the super deal?

[lidsman2221]

Thanks I love LMAD!

[tpir1972]

I think the reason they caneled the SUPER DEAL was the syndication version probably aired on ABC in some markets, and when they returned to deals over $10,000, $30,000+ WINS was just too much for ABC.

[tpir1972]

$30,000 this is probably the highest win for ABC at the time?

[kingwein22]

If I remember correctly, the big deal would add checks which would cover..with the super deal helping to cover the gift tax. The only thing I think they should do with the new LMAD with Wayne Brady is to continue the quick deals like he does during the rolling of the credits.

[GameShowNetwork]

No $30,000 flashing on the screen.

[trinarissa]

That wallpaper was HORRIBLE.

[Brian211978]

that's the early 70s for ya

[MultiDaniel56]

I just wish that people didn't have to pay taxes on prises, often forcing them to sell them.

[RedNekLvr22]

As a game show fan I couldn't agree with you more How pathetic is that? Taxes are bad enough without screwing someone over when they when a thing then try to tax it. And I'm a democrat, but this had always been a stupid thing and a mean thing to do. :(

[unclecoolie]

In these "super deal" episodes, usually the crappy big deal was behind door #2 because everyone always picked that door.

[floridapanthersroar]

Oh, no!

[Yugi40]

Oh, yes!

[Hawqis1]

I wonder what $30,000 back then would be in today's money?

[Wolfman12395]

Over $100,000 at least, I looked it up. Inflation is a bitch.

[edvideo1978]

@Wolfman12395 I can guarantee you that $100,000 would be the top prize if they ever have the Super Deal on Wayne Brady's LMAD.

[gshowguy]

@edvideo1978 Or maybe just $50,000 or $75,000...

[pooka5472]

Fun fact: Stu Billett worked as an associate for Stefan Hatos-Monty Hall Productions during the mid-70's. Billett is best known for co-executive producing "The People's Court."

[sexymama1966]

and now, we have the flat screen tvs..times sure have changed.

[Hawqis1]

It's nice to see what things existed back then and what we have now. Without them, we wouldn't have what we have now.
