Let's Make a Deal clip, 1981

First few minutes of the short-lived Canadian version, ends just after 1st deal, but does offer a good look @ the fake "LMaD Money" they used here. :-)

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.

[JAldridge86]

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

[WhatsAYak]

@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).

[Nickle98499]

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

[WhatsAYak]

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

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

[fatmanfiftythousand]

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

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.

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!"

[erikdraven1731]

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.

[allnewtpir]

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

I don't recall if Dean Muchio was seen on camera on LMAD90, or on the other show he announced, THat's my Dog. I do think Vance D. was shown on camera on LMAD2K3. LMAD80 was shown on WPHL17(now a My Network station) at 4PM weekdays, but I think they dropped it midseason. Dancin on Air, the local dance show that was nationally aired as Dance Party USA on USA Network in the late 80s, premiered on WPHL sometime in 1981, I don't recall the start date. LMAD may have been lost to make room for it.
