Let's Make a Deal (1963)

Overview

These people, dressed as they are, come from all over the United States to make deals here at the Marketplace of America, Let's Make a Deal is one of TV's all-time greatest and most successful shows, Let's Make a Deal was a game of intuition, skill, luck, decision-making and greed...all mixed into one. It was fun and would have been a success even if the show had stuck with the formal dresses and suits that the game started with on December 30, 1963. That's right; contestants wore dresses and suits in the very early months of LMAD. A few months after the show's premiere, someone came with a sign to attract host Monty Hall's attention and low and behold, he chose her (or him)! Sometime later, someone wore a crazy costume and the entire studio changed from a formal, quiet, dignified setting to a free-for-all. The show came alive and became the legendary success it would be known for.
