ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
leeland_h What makes a good game show? A good game show is one that the viewer can play at home while watching it on T.V. You can answer Jeopardy questions or you can solve puzzles on Wheel Of Fortune; however - you, as a viewer, really can't do much of anything on this show.The ONLY exciting thing about this show is the fact that there is big money involved. This is great for the contestant, but the viewer can only live vicariously through the winner.Seriously, this is only fun to watch when the person loses (or wins) all the money - mostly loses though. It seems that later episodes, the producers put contestants on that had a good sob story (not to diminish them).I think the reason this game show became such a hit was that they put a pretty good improv comedian (see his early works) as the host and that the games rules are ultra simple - answer only one question (Deal or No Deal).I can only give this show a rating of 3 because it is the same ole' episode every single time. I can even guess with pretty good accuracy what the banker will offer.
BlackJack_B You know, I used to enjoy watching T.V. but today all we're getting is nothing but reality T.V. and terrible game shows that could never match such greats like The Price Is Right or Match Game. The dumbing-down of North American society mandated by Dubya and Hollywood continues to reach new lows and Deal Or No Deal isn't even the nadir.To be honest, I've played the game on occasion at parties and it's pretty fun. However, there is no skill involved except for trying to control your greed.The show, on the other hand, is absolutely unwatchable. It's not due to Howie Mandel, who I've always felt was a pretty talented guy or his models but for the contestants they bring in. These people represent the worst of North American society. Many of them deliver the exact stereotypes of a society gone terribly wrong. The accent has to be on "stereotype" because I can't believe any of these individuals are "regular people". I believe that no money is being won and the "contestants" and their "families" are just actors from Casting Central. However, the job of DOND is to convince the dumbed-down society that this is a legit game show and with the I.Q. of the viewing audience being lowered they believe that the show is legitimate. After all, if it's on T.V. it is real. Uh-huh.Of course, staid contestants wouldn't bring in the big ratings. The over-the-top, overdone, over-everything reactions and stylings of the "contestants" are the reason the populace loves this show. In today's anything-goes-before-Armageddon T.V. this is what brings in the bacon. No successful show has staid qualities.Sadly, all I can do is simply shake my head. I'm probably the only person who pities Howie Mandel. He deserves better than this. I think doing comedy in Las Vegas and being the spokesman for Boston Pizza in Canada was better than this. Oh well...
goleafs84 When I first saw this show, I didn't think to much of it, as it doesn't take too much skill or thought to win, all you need is one thing; Luck.Question is, why do I like this show? It's exciting and entertaining to watch. The best part is when it gets down to "crunch time"; You can see the large amounts of money on the board. You see the contestant having to chose the case and hope it doesn't contain one of the large amounts of money. Next, you've got those models opening the cases; Very beautiful; And the "bank" makes their offer to buy you off for as little as they can. In the end, you'll see if that person got a good or bad deal in the end.This is where it gets exciting., as you can hear me screaming in front of the TV, "NO DEAL!!" or "Take The offer and get out!!!" (At times, that's the nice way I say it). Many times when I watch it people with me are telling me to calm down or relax it's only a game show).It's a show that's very easy to get wrapped up in it.The other thing I like about it is the humor. Howie Mandel as he talks to the "bank" tells you what the bank says, which is usually trash talk,or at times, they have even done mini performances like in the Chruistmas show where they bring out a carolers, "trash singing" to the tune of "Jingle Bells" and make the offer. Rude, but funny.In addition, when they go to a commercial break, Howie will lead you on that it will continue now and once he gets you "hooked" then he says something like "we'll find out when we come back". You want to scream for bring suckered into it, but at the same time you want to laugh because it's funny. Howie is very good at that.Deffinatley a show worth watching.
bighaben I hate this show. Simple as that. It's horrible. The show takes an annoying host, and throws endless amounts of commercials at times where it seems suspenseful, but is just annoying, and is clearly just trying to scrounge out a few more dollars.Not only that, this game is easy to get money at, you just have to walk away at the right time. No one does this. The producers of the show choose idiots to go up to the podium and play.So what if they have beautiful models, that's just a cheap gimmick, good TV is not achieved through beautiful models, and large amounts of money, coupled with false suspense.Just stay away, it's not worth. Lucky for them, I've seen much worse traverse our poor Televisions.3/10
