Let's Make a Deal: Changes for season 4

[groundchuck]

What changes would you like to see for Season 4 of "Let's Make a Deal"?
I can think of three of them right off the bat.

1) Go HD

2) Bring back the "Super Deal" (if not daily; maybe every Friday)

3)Have the big deal hit at least $30,000 or more than a few more occasions.

The new season of Let's Make a Deal will most likely start Sept 17 (the start of CBS fall lineup)

Is there a press release announcing that LMAD is renewed for a fourth season?

It has to be. The show does well. It's a given, I think

[groundchuck]

Go to CBS.com and find Let's Make a Deal. They will start taping for the new season in a few weeks.

Let's Make a Deal hasn't gone HD yet? Wow, I thought Family Feud was the last game show. It's 2012, everything should be HD

Several months ago, CBS renewed Let's Make a Deal for a 4th season. I believe taping starts in August, and the Season Premiere is set for around Sept. 17th, like Chuck mentioned.

I agree with Chuck though. Compared to TPIR, LMAD looks much cheaper. I would suggest the minimum Big Deal amount be upped to $30,000. Also, if they brought back special episodes like the "Every Deal has a Car" episode in Season 2, and the Super Deal, perhaps worth $100,000 - then it would be much more enticing...

For the 4th season, I would like to see "Beat the Dealer" game if a player wins the car, they get everything. The car, the prize, and the cash.

One of my fantasies is that they'll expand the Big Deal to two traders.

I also have fantasies that I can't mention here for obvious reasons, so you know that that's not happening. I can hope it does, but it probably won't.

[Lingofan97]

Come on, everybody here has some type of game show fantasy, classic or modern.

If they bring back the "Super Deal", the money distribution should be : $50,000; $5,000; $1,000

I wonder when they'll start the shopping deals that Monty used to do

I remember hearing and seeing clips that it was good. It should be brought back to make changes to Let's Make a Deal. I assume they're better than the Plinko chips on TPIR

The answer is most likely "never." Deal is now under the same corporate umbrella as a certain other, more successful series that uses "shopping deals" as its bread and butter, after all. They don't want to blur the lines between the two any more than, by 1972 design, they already were in the first place.

(For those who don't know: From the start, Mark Goodson intended for The New Price is Right to be his company's answer to Let's Make a Deal. That's why, to this day, Price takes its contestants right out of the audience; it was a deliberate attempt to emulate Deal, though now it's far more associated with Price. It also explains the much more festive, carnival-like atmosphere of the modern Price compared to its Bill Cullen-hosted ancestor, which was a rather more staid affair.)
