Deal or No Deal
You know what would be fun? If the contestants had to dress up in silly costumes like they did on
Let’s Make a Deal. That might help this show shed its overly dramatic image.
Howie almost had that bemused look that
Monty Hall used to have when he could just tell that the people were making a crazy gamble. Howie shook his head and seemed totally flabbergasted when
Daryl turned down a decent amount of cash for a long-shot chance at half a million dollars. I know I’ve complained about the families, and trust me it annoyed me to no end when they got
Amy’s little kids on the phone to find out what they thought... as if they had a clue what the heck was happening. However, I have to say that I liked Daryl’s brother, who in a weird way — perhaps because of the way he was spouting his own random family philosophies — reminded me of the dad on
Everybody Hates Chris. He talked his bro into taking a deal because, as he so accurately surmised, “We can’t do nothing with 50 bucks.” Well, I’m still mildly entertained by this show. I just hope that they don’t overexpose it like
Millionaire. Once or twice a year for a week is just fine.
