Zachary Dunlap-Tunnage that’s the reason why CBS and ABC were so slow to adopt color programming - because they didn’t want to promote their competitor (NBC)’s product. Color TVs were very uncommon up until 1965 (the year you mentioned) and up until that point they were prohibitively expensive for most households. Adjusted for inflation, in 1962-1963 color TV sets were far more expensive than even a new top-of-the-line desktop computer would be today.

Just learned about Monty Hall's passing on this evening. I had not viewed this pilot episode in a few years (and forgot Let's Make A Deal was first on NBC) and I just went back to a simpler time in life (childhood) when parents and grandparents were living. I am also enjoying seeing folks who like my parents/grandparents LOOKED like classy men and women by the way they dressed (I am quite Old School myself now in my late 50's age-wise). I realize the thought patterns about life back then are considered out-dated now but I am enjoying seeing and hearing it all. My brother (now also deceased) LOVED this show for the new cars featured as prizes. It was a treat to see the classic NBC Peacock prior to the show as well. Thanks for the trip back in time and R.I.P. Mr. Monty Hall ♥♥

This show was my favorite back in the early 70's, I was in grade school. This first episode is classy and good clean fun. Would be nice if we had some that now.

It's not weird at all. It's just like the first few episodes of the New Price is Right (1972) without the wild cheering and clapping going on. It's the way the show originally began, and it is a treat to see how these shows really began.

This is fun, watching the very first broadcast of "Let's Make A Deal," from 1963-hosted by the legendary and multi-talented Monty Hall. It is my understanding that-after the first two weeks in which the audience members dressed "conservatively"-one of the audience members dressed up in a creative, wacky costume to get Monty's attention. In a very short period of time-ALL the audience members were doing that! Funny and endlessly entertaining!

My gosh, Monty Hall was a gem! This, even in its infancy, was a GREAT show and he was the best of hosts of any show ever!

I appreciate all the people giving their condolences to the passing of Monty Hall.

Monty Hall passed away today. at 96 years old R.I.P.

If not it would not have lasted.. Monty Hall said this on a game show tribute years ago. And check Monty Hall on the Odd Couple TV show a Riot when they play lets make a deal in their kitchen!

Just by watching this pilot, you can see why this show was such a howling success!!! Obviously the network executives could tell immediately just from this sample demo show that this program had tremendous appeal, and would probably really catch on in America. Monty Hall had such charm, quick wit, and folksy showmanship that all of the great game hosts had. Wendell Niles was a legendary radio announcer-- especially with Bob Hope; and and had a relaxed grace and poise. Yes this show would evolve with the zany costumes and open up and get wilder with Jay Stewart, who was fantastic; but we have to remember that this was the original show, So, like all first runs, it was rather tame and polite. Still, there was more than enough here to show sponsors or execs to go with it, and that they had a potential winner on their hands!
