    This show was exciting and I enjoyed each night it was on. I found it to keep me on the end of my seat. I was dissapointed when it did not come on again the next week. I am looking forward to the show airing again and hope to get a chance to participate.

    I've been wathing this show for a while and I still think it is great. Maybe those who think other wise better get more of an excitable life. What's wrong with a non intelligent show? There are people who would like to participate in a show and just can't. Call me stupid but I love Howie and he is a great host. I hope I will get on the show at on time too.

    It's a GAME show people. Just a game. The paople who didn't like it much is because they weren't on it. It sure wasn't because they are too intelligent to grasp the show's ideas. After reading what the nay-sayers are saying, read below a few,,, what really is a"eadache?- what's "eatchn the fans shake riot"? - and it's " waving their" NOT waving there It's a GAME show people.

Oh and the host is another stupid Ryan Seacrest to top it of! the on only difference is that the host is bald! Oh yes, and this one: Newton G gave it a2: Amazing! They can waste almost fifty minutes of prime time on one contestant. Based on the format and probabilities, no one will win more than about $150,000 and it is virtually impossible to win the million. Only $150,000 , is that all? Like it's not enough for you. With Wheel and the likes, they might win $50,000. Get real people. It's only a show. Way too much TV watching has gotten into you all.… Expand

    This is an insanely stupid game show. Every aspect of the show is lame: Howie, the contestants, the "banker", the family members. They could use chimps as contestants instead of humans and the results would be the same. Of course then I might watch.

    my husband watches with so much excitement you would think he was going to pick up the check at the end. He even perdicts the bankers amount, and most of the time can choose the correct case.However here we sit..watching the trills from our sofa. He truely enjoys this show.

    I am not a TV person, but I can admit, this show took my attention, and I find myself glued on the couch with a lot of excitement to see what some one will take home. I even participated in the picking of boxes using a text message. I picked box 6 which turned out to be the box with $10 000. The question is will I be paid the money or not? All I can say this show is a lot of fun.

    This show is very entertaining. I especially love the little "wrinkles" they throw in ... like the on-air proposal, the pony, the hummer, the woman's kids opening the cases.

    Deal or No deal just could be one of the longest running game shows in the history of television. Finally, a game show that sparks total mesmorization.

Howie Mendel is the perfect host for this excellent show. His quirky bald head, and inability (or phobia) to shake contestant's hands adds to the wackiness of this original, yet simple game concept. Each contestant has their own story to tell, as they introduce us to loved ones, and thoughts & desires if they just win "the big one." I am sorry, but I am changing my rating to a 9.9. PS: The models ain't 1/2 bad either, especially #3! You can't lose with this one. Conshy, PA USA… Expand
