On May 25th, 1963, a thirty-seven minute pilot was taped for NBC and was hosted by Monty Hall. Unaired at the time, it would remain so until it was rediscovered by the Game Show Network and finally aired on March 4th, 2003. Includes a modern introduction by Monty Hall.
The 1971-1972 saw the birth of a highly-successful syndicated edition of LMaD. Airing twice a week, the show went on to be a six-season hit in prime-time access markets. As typical with syndicated versions of game shows, the syndicated LMaD often offered higher-ticket items than the daytime entry and larger "Big Deal of the Day" prize packages. The following is an incomplete prize listing; if more than one price is listed, other models were offered and/or the price changed during the year. No ZONKS are listed (though some were legit prizes that were decidedly less than a perceived better prize and are listed here). CARS GENERAL MOTORS Cadillac Chevrolet * Vega -- 2 dr. coupe-----$2,090 -- 2 dr. hatchback-----$3,570 -- 2 dr.

The 1973-1974 season employed minor set changes, including new carpeting on the stairs (a reddish-brown color with metal facings) and a new "LMAD" stone inscription. Also, there were new graphics on the stage and "Jay Tray" boxes. A prize listing follows. This is incomplete, and does NOT include ZONKS. If two prices are listed, it usually means the price fluctuated during the season.

The original deal-maker himself, Monty Hall, make a cameo appearance for the third episode. He dealed with a contestant who, in 1976, lost a show-record three cars in one episode! More on that later. The recurring deal this time, played several times throughout the show, had current dealer Billy Bush asking contestants to choose from two envelopes, one which held either $100 and a prize or $500; the other one containing an amount that had either one less or one more zero in it. Whatever envelope the contestant chose, Billy first revealed the one having the $100 and prize or $500 and asked if they wanted to trade the "sure thing" for the unknown. Whatever the contestant chose, they got. The first time, Kimberly (dressed as a gypsy) chose the blue envelope, which had $500 in it. She traded for Billy's taupe envelope and won $5,000! * Deal 1 -- In this deal, Billy announced that he would pay a contestant a certain amount per pound for the item concealed behind the audience box; or they co
