ALL-NEW LET’S MAKE A DEAL-September 21, 1984
gamespeopleplayed 
Host: Monty Hall
Featuring: Brian Cummings and Karen LaPierre
First Traders: Paula Stevens (Kermit the Frog costume) and Ron Pratt (All-American Cook)
Both get bankrolls. We look at Paula’s first, there’s a $100 bill to start. She can keep that Benjamin and the rest OR trade for Curtain #1. She’ll keep the money…but wait, there’s $25 of Os-Cal Calcium behind the curtain…at least. No changing Paula’s mind, though. That means she misses out on…a Broyhill Dining Room Set ($1,359) Unwrapping her bankroll, there are 23 more bills…all ones. $123 is good enough for Paula.
Ron, who tries to sneak a peek, gets his chance.
…there are $1,000 bills in there? Sorry, just checking if you’re awake. There is a $10 up front, but what else? Enough to turn down the sunshine box. Although his wife’s next to him, he follows his sister-in-law. He keeps the cash and turns down…TWO NOISY DUCKS!
Well, they’re weren’t Thousands, but they were Eight-Hundred Bills. (Total: $810)
Next Traders: Jill and Danny Olsen (Super Chicken)
Let’s Make a Deal Quick, Before We Have Another Chick
Two birds of a feather could win this from Monty…a check for $8,000! To win, the Olsen have to do some item pricing! Starting with 8, each right guess lights up the number on the board. One miss, and it’s all over.
$8 Quaker Corn Bran (12 oz. Box) within 60¢.
Guess: $1.25 ARP $1.45 RIGHT
$80 Champale (12 oz. Bottle) within 50¢
Guess: $2.50 ARP: 83¢ BIG MONEY GONE
Still a chance for some money, the next two items will be worth $250.
2000 Flushes (14 oz.) within $1.25
Guess: $2 ARP: $2.25 RIGHT
True Value Master Mechanic Tool Set (22 piece) within $6
Guess: $12 ARP: $43.59 WRONG
One more thing, they can buy Curtain #2 for their $250. If they pass up the curtain, Monty will throw in another $100. Nope, they still wanna trade! How about doubling their $250? Jill convinces Danny to keep the $500. What could they’ve had…A HONG KONG RICKSHAW!
Fourth trader: Linda Bullock (Baby)
First, a poem:
Blush Again Baby on the Game Show, When the Deals start the baby will glow, When the Deals Stop the Trading will end, sleepy will be baby and teddy my friend.
Thank you, Sylvia Plath. Here’s a box of Cortizone 5, so that’s why it wasn’t in the last deal. Will she keep it or trade for a money packet? She can see a $50 up front and a $50 in the back. Which will she choose? Leftovers go to the big bunny. She takes the money, but will she keep it further for the big box? Nope, so she gives up $100 plus 17…ones again. ($117) In the box…a Litton Microwave and Microwave Cookware, plus a Silver Reed Electric Typewriter ($943.95)
Back to the bunny…
Fifth Trader: Mark Urbaniak
He can keep the ointment OR take the Microwave Package OR Curtain #1? Mark takes the box…of ointment. Behind the curtain…A GIANT HOT WATER BOTTLE!
Mark’s climbing up the walls to see what’s inside…Keep Climbing, Bunny, because it’s time for the…
BIG DEAL OF THE DAY! $7,769!
| Linda | $943.95 |
| Ron | $810 |
| Danny/Jill | $500 |
| Paula | $123 |
| Mark | Cortizone Plus ? |
Mark makes the trade for his Cortizone and what was inside….$1,500 cash! Threw away Linda’s gift; now she’ll choose leftovers between the two doors.
Today’s sneak peak:
Appropriately, it opens up on Kirsch Window Blinds.
First door to fully open is…
It’s Monty’s Piggy Bank again…$382 Linda gets that. On to…
It’s a Whirlpool Refrigerator/Freezer, Dishwasher and Gas Range. ($2,078) Mark’s bunny wife got him back down on the ground, and they chose…#2. We open the blinds to show a Mazda GLC Custom 3dr. Hatchback. ($8,364) Not only did Monty get the value of the Big Deal wrong, he forgot to mention there was also $1,000 for the Bunnies. (Total: $3,078)
Total Winnings: $4,893
Big Winner: Mark
Quickie Deals: Cowgirl Grace Davidson pulls out 99¢ of change and gets $250 in bills instead. Also, Mrs. Pepper (next to Mr. Salt) gets $50 for a key ring.
