Linda Stasi

Maddening and exciting. Read full review

Brian Lowry

[The] first episode of this weeklong experiment does a creditable job building suspense, but it's hard to imagine the premise... possessing much staying power. Read full review

Rob Owen

"Deal or No Deal" may be the dumbest TV game show ever, or, quite possibly, it is brilliant in its simplicity. But it's certainly not a quiz show. Read full review

Barry Garron

That it has been a hit in 35 nations... reveals that there are more international threats than terrorism and global warming. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

It's only a few shades more adult than, say, playing with blocks. Read full review

I really love this show. Yes, it is "mindless," but it is also incredibly exciting. I haven't had this much fun watching a game show in a long while. Note to NBC: don't fall into the Millionaire trap. Keep this one an occasional week long special!

This is one of the most memorable game shows ever created. You'll like the suspense of seeing which case holds the big bucks and which does not. This is my kind of game show.

It's different - no questions to answer so you don't have to be extremely intelligent to win - just lucky. Howie is hot - love the "down to the wood" look - very hip.
