Read in an article a couple years ago that LMAD would offer Zonk winners up to $500 in lieu of their prize. Almost everyone took them up on it, except for one gentleman who insisted on collecting the cow he'd won. Turns out he was a farmer and he needed a cow to replace one that had been killed by wildlife.
The music for the much larger nighttime orchestra was prepared by Ivan Ditmars, the show's musical director, and Sammy Nestico, who is one of the last living links to the days of the big bands (he arranged for Basie and others). The horn section consisted of two trumpets, two trombones and a tenor sax. Nestico, who wrote a classic textbook on jazz arranging, made it work.
I appreciate the (live) orchestral jazz/big band music for the introduction and closing, too. It just adds class and a little more fun to this great game show classic. RIP Mr. Monty Hall, the best and biggest dealer on television
@@manofmanyinterests Lots of it, too, that's for sure:) It reminds me, too, of "The Lawrence Welk Show". I could be wrong, @manofmanyinterests, but I think Ivan Ditmars was the musical director for that series as well.
Notice that the football player has an ABC logo on his helmet. Not only did "Deal" air on ABC air at this time, but this episode aired around the same time "Monday Night Football" debuted.
43 cents for a jar of spaghetti sauce. Wow, I was a young kid in the 70's and my mom made sauce so I never knew they even had spaghetti sauce in a jar...
An earlier nighttime version existed in 1967 as a summer replacement series for Mirisch-Rich Productions' Hey Landlord! and like Landlord and other shows running in NBC's Sunday 8:30 p.m. period, Procter & Gamble sponsored and endured the show.
Jay Stewart developed severe degenerative disc disease in his back from carrying trays of prizes/props back and forth from off stage to the trading floor. The chronic pain he suffered was one contributing factors to his suicide
Actually, the primetime version of "Let's Make a Deal" aired on ABC from 1969 to 1971. Since this video is listed as 1970, it most likely originally aired on ABC.
This was the first episode shown in syndication (it was actually a rerun of an ABC "big budget" nighttime show telecast - note the full orchestra with brass). Starting with the second episode, the syndicated LMAD started new shows. At the time, LMAD shared the same ABC studio with "The Lawrence Welk Show" (they often shared each other's props). Monty Hall preferred the ABC studio greatly over the studio at NBC. While NBC had a larger trading floor, a high wall, steeply angled stadium seating with low lighting prevented a view of the entire audience. On his first ABC telecast, he stated how much he liked the new ABC digs and how the home audience could now see the studio audience. Ironically, ABC picked up LMAD to make up for their cancellation of "The Price is Right" (which had also come over from NBC) that angered many viewers. In 1972, "The New Price is Right" on CBS was revamped with many LMAD-type features and today, "Let's Make a Deal" and "The Price is Right" (in one-hour formats) follow one another on CBS.
Noveltooner LMAD was not picked up to make up for their cancellation of TPIR. LMAD didn't come over until December 30th, 1968 more than three years after TPIR went off the air. ABC just wanted a hit program on their network and got it.
+staytunedfor That's ONE of the reasons LMAD went to ABC. For 5 years, even though they were a hit NBC was only renewing their contracts 13 weeks at a time. That changed when they went to ABC. They also moved to ABC because they got a BIG pay raise & ownership of tapes. ABC wanted LMAD and played hard ball to get them. NBC tried to match the offer once they realized what ABC was offering them, but Hatos-Hall said too little, too late and moved to ABC.

The evening LMAD was syndicated, meaning it could run on any network. The daytime show ran on ANC, and the prizes as I recall were waaaayyyyy cheaper. Another nighttime episode, a guy is holding a big sign "ABC IS #1". Monty, not knowing beforehand, asks him what his sign says and Monty reads it without thinking. After a bit of a stammer, Monty says nervously, "uh..,and so are a lot of other ones #1."
I was 5 Living at the Jersey Shore Our 5 bedroom home cost $33,000 Mortgage was $419 a month Newspaper cost 15 cents Everybody went outside and played daily Large pizza $4.99 I'll go with you
Been watching a couple of these episodes, and while these folks winning $10K prizes were ecstatic at the time, I wondered how happy they were at tax time. This being because in 1970, ten grand was a decent year's wage; winning a Cadillac would double your tax bill. Then I remembered a nice little thing the IRS used to offer: Dollar Cost Averaging, by which you could split your winnings over 5 years and not get killed by the taxman. DCA went away in 1986; suddenly, winning a Caddy wasn't so cool.
This wasn't really the second episode really. Look carefully at the TV displays and you'll find Monty Hall in front of the audience instead of in front of one of the three curtains next to the words "Let's Make A Deal". The first episode had the later and was telecasted on 12-26-1970 so this had to be aired before that date.
Right?!? WTF???? We are in the twilight zone!!! Something isn't right! It would have been much cheaper! Gas was .98c gal in the 90's! That's gas in the mid 2000's
I've been searching for a specific 1971 or 1972 episode for years where my parents won a washer and dryer and a pool table. Do you think there is any way I can find it? I've already gone through all the youtube ones posted one by one and I can't find it. Please, any info or lead you may give me will be greatly appreciated.
This episode was taped on September 23, 1970, and if I can pinpoint this episode's OAD correctly, it would be October 3, 1970. If Ccook was still here, he would've told me.
Virtually every episode of the nighttime ABC version between 1969 and 1971. Both daytime and syndicated 1971-77 versions had slimmed down orchestration with the latter only adding a harp which became the trademark sound of the curtain opening.

What a show, you come in with nothing win 2 thousand bucks 1970 U.S. money, and still feel like a loser because you didn't go for the car ?? I love the U.S. for this reason !
Rodrick King Sorry, but Tiffany Coyne couldn't carry Carol Merrill's jockstrap. (And neither Messrs. Brady and Mangum couldn't carry neither Messrs. Hall and Stewart, respectively.
Please post more old episodes. It's so wonderful seeing the old items and prices - brings back old memories of better times...plus Monty was the best!
The great Monty Hall! The new Let’s Make A Deal can’t compare.
True but that can't compare to the 90s with Bob Hilton or 2003 version with Billy Bush
Stupid networks try to reboot, remake or bring back golden shows like this but they FAIL EVERYTINE

The death of his daughter was the other factor. He was deeply depressed by that and did alcohol

No slam against Wayne Brady but Monty Hall was the master of this game.

He died in his house in California.

18:44 and that was the door that _nobody_ took
What a great x I'm having tonight. Thx
Monty Hall Was Awesome,
A wonderful half an hour spent.
Very rare considering the music is produced by brass instruments instead of the usual guitar group.
Every time a prize is awarded from the Spiegel Catalogue, it seems that the cataloogue gets more attention than does the prize.
Wow, they offered First class accommodations on airlines back then, as opposed to coach these days.
.99 for 1 pound bacon 😳. Even adding today's inflation, we're being ripped off by big corporations. Cost $12-$15 here in Canada 😞
the vega in canada could be bought with a 327 small block. a pontiac version called the astre came with a 350 small block.
The later LMAD episodes(of the original run)had a disclaimer during the end credits saying "Some traders accept reasonable duplicates of zonk prizes."
The woman who won $1300, that is worth $8,156.03 today.
though she won the Big Deal in the end
@@cbob8092 The big deal was worth $10,173.

I wonder if they actually KEEP the Zonk prizes
Not usually, Mykan. Contestants usually exchanged their Zonks for a small prize after the show was over.
Tubewings On Wayne Brady's version they get $100 if they get Zonked.
Except for ONE time when Monty returned... They zonked twice, they got a car

Those are some thick flat screens
I’d like to have the 1971 Chevelle.
When i was a kid i always wondered if they really gave the people the zonk prizes,,like the cow and cart,,lol

You sure got to work with a wonderful man Monty Hall I am sure you miss him.

She was so happy. I was thinking I would be happy too.( Not on this one)

vega car worst car they ever made
and @ 18:44 it's a good thing on the big deal of the day that was the door that _nobody_ choose
The Vega would have been a worse "zonk" than that ox and oxcart.
