Let's Make A Deal coming to primetime in March

According to Entertainment Weekly, NBC could start showing it in Primetime in March.

The new series will again showcase animated participants who are decked out in colorful, eye-catching -- and homemade -- costumes. Monty Hall, who hosted the original version in its daytime and primetime versions, returns as executive producer. New host Billy Bush (Correspondent on Access Hollywood) will headline the five primetime episodes of the new hour-long series

Me three.

Does anyone remember when there was this guy on, I think an icecream salesman, that seemed to have broken the pattern for the board? I seem to remember he played for a couple days, without ever hitting a Whammy. After racking up a hug sum of cash and prizes, and either after a comercial or at the start of the next episode, the host and he came on and said that he had agreed to quit since he had won so much.

Gameshow network is airing that episode March 16th and I do remember it.

Sigh. I wish I had the Gameshow network simply to see it again. I must have been 7 or 8 when I saw it before. I guess I'm just glad my memory wasn't playing tricks on me.

Edit: ok, after doing some light web research on the thing, I was 9.

Are they showing the actual full two episodes he was on? Because I get the impression March 16th is just a documentary about the Michael Larson thing. I hope that after the documentary they show both episodes. I will have my VCR ready to go, I know that much, either way. They haven't shown this on TV in 20 years.

For those who don't know about it:


Michael Larson, Game Show Legend


As for what game shows I'd like to see make a comeback, I think it all depends on the host. They tried with Match Game, but nobody can do it like Gene. If they had the right host, I'd pick that one, but the most recent incarnation of it was pretty horrible.

I would have to select "other" and say Beat the Geeks and You Don't Know Jack, two of the most fun game shows in recent history. Isn't Beat the Geeks done by the same production team that does Cram? I am not for certain, I just recognize that production logo at the end of Cram and I think that was the same as Beat the Geeks, but I may have seen it elsewhere. But either way, Game Show Network should pick up those two shows.
