Deal or No Deal

By Alex Davis We touched upon the home games before, but I got a few more I think we should get into.  I’m a giant Apple snob; I really won’t use Microsoft unless I absolutely have to.  I leaped on the opportunity to get an iPhone, and I can’t recommend it enough if you have the income to pay the remote...

By Alex Davis Who didn’t see this coming?  Deal or No Deal looks to be starting taping soon.  Possibly as soon as next week, but most likely sometime in Janaury.  No word on if it’s the daytime or primetime edition, but just about every daytime game show is done taping and I can’t imagine Deal is any d...

By Alex Davis Most shows this day are teetering towards a million dollar top prize in daytime.  Plus with Deal or No Deal debuting, which was a wild card in terms of what the ratings would do, it seemed like time to bring in the million dollar top prize.  You have to land on one of three segments of a wedge, whi...

By Alex Davis It was sad to see 1 VS 100 go all because of the dire need of a network and company to give away a million dollars.  It’s an issue a lot of shows have today.  A lot of networks think that all people want to see are million dollar wins.  Deal or No Deal had the same issue.  And no one really cared when eit...

By Alex Davis Our third top moment of 2008 is how the syndicated edition of Deal or No Deal seemed to save the format.  The daytime version purged everything bad and odd about the primetime version.  You got to know contestants more without getting annoying up close, the game was sped up, the relationship...

By Alex Davis I know there’s a large negative reaction to the show which I understand, but it generated the most attention out of any game show moment this year. It made CNN the next morning. It really showed how far people will go for money. Forget Deal or No Deal where you see people gamble the money they say t...

By Alex Davis I hope all of you who celebrate Christmas had a nice one yesterday, or at least a good day in general.  Coming in at number six on the countdown is yet another Deal or No Deal moment, and one that I did not expect to be ranked so highly.  There’s a bit of a debate [...]

By Alex Davis I’d just like to say I’m extremely proud of how you all voted regardless.  You all have really good taste.  The top five were (in order) Password, Daytime Deal or No Deal, Wipeout, The Mole, and Catch 21.  Places two through four were very close.  I was also really happy to see what you all voted as...

By Alex Davis I figure this is a good time to update you on a few things.  But first, NBC supplied us with an interview with Deal or No Deal host Howie Mandel about the Christmas version.  I don’t know if he is oblivious to the fact that people seem to be sick of the gimmicks or NBC’s essentially feeding him what...

By Alex Davis Deal or No Deal’s annual Christmas episode is quickly approaching.  You can watch it on Christmas Day at 8PM E on NBC.  We were provided with a preview of what you can find.  Changes for this episode include boxes instead of cases, the front of the audience was for some reason converted in...

By Nick Todor Three game shows have been nominated for a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Game Show: Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader, Deal or No Deal, and Jeopardy!, the same as last year’s nominees.  Each category gets an independent vote, so you don’t have to vote for your Favorite Independent Mo...

By Alex Davis The biggest news recently has been Deal or No Deal’s hiatus and rumored cancelation. I read all of your comments, and something I’ve read very often is that NBC needs to make their Speed Deal or No Deal stunt regular. And I have to ask you all something, why? I saw the [...]

By Alex Davis Also on Friday, host of Deal or No Deal, Howie Mandel, stops by the GSN Radio set to talk to hosts Marianne Curan and Bob Goen.  Howie will show up at 2:40PM ET.  In celebration of this,  a special condensed version of Would You Rather?, the DVD game (and also a recent NBC game show pilot) will be p...

It's been rumored, but Primetime Deal or No Deal's cancelation is coming closer to truth. NBC released their midseason January 2009 schedule and Deal or No.
