  • Did she win a trio of trash cans as their "ZONK" prize??

  • If i were Hatos-Hall when the show is in Canada, replace the Fake LMAD Money (with Monty's Portrait in it except for the $500 bill), For Scenes of Canada Banknotes which is used from 1969-1979 and the $1,000 bill will be from the 1954 series with Queen Elizabeth II on the Obverse, after the show they should keep the Canadian Bills or change it for USA Bills.

  • @oaklandfan2k9 Yeah....that's what they did with the fake dollars.

  • Canadian currency facts: The $500 bill was exclusive to the 1935 series of Canadian banknotes. The $1000 bill ceased printing in the year 2000.

  • And when LMAD returned in 1984, I wonder if any stations ran it back-to-back with the 1980 version. I could imagine the promos: "More deals, more Monty, more Zonks!"

  • Where on Earth did you find this clean copy? I haven't seen this version since 1983 when KICU San Jose was rerunning it. What a treasure! I wish I could find the theme music.

  • @rsb97060 - It was on a DVD I recieved a coupla years back.

  • Is the reason the "LMaD Money" was used due to the show airing in Canada & the US?

  • Yes... Monty used to say that the contestants could redeem it in the currency of their choice. I assume that meant either the Canadian or the U.S. dollar.

  • Has anyone written or e-mailed Canadian cable channel GAME TV to see if they would start airing LMAD 1980?

  • Didn't this air in the US as well? I seem to recall hearing it did, as least briefly.

  • @JAldridge86 - It did, indeed...only lasted the one season here, but continued to play in reruns north of the border on Global for the next few years (though a few stations here in the US did rerun this version for a spell, including WOR/9 in NY-NJ).

  • IIRC this aired in Seattle and I think Detroit and Atlanta as well during it's run in the US.

  • @Nickle98499 - Yeah, it got nationwide clearances, from what I understand.

  • I figured as much; Detroit, Chicago and Seattle and New York I can understand because those cities are northern cities and close to canada, but Atlanta? That's kind of an unusual choice.

  • @Nickle98499 In Chicago it aired on WSNS 44 in 1980-1981.

  • Interesting

  • Was that the only game show on Channel 44 shown at that time?

  • @sugarbear522 No, in the 1980-1981 TV season WSNS 44 also aired the Buddy Hackett revival of "You Bet Your Life".

  • OIC. I was a little kid when this came on.

  • Brian Cummings sounded and acted more Jay than any other announcer. Also of note, This would be the 3rd and last opening used for LMAD before going off the air in 1981.

  • CHuck Chandler is/was more reminiscent of Jay than Jonathan Mangum, Brian Cummings, or Dean Goss is.

  • @zachhoran You forgot:

    Vance Degeneres (LMAD 2003)

    Dean Mcuhio (LMAD 1990)
