Title: ABC Let's Make a Deal
Post by: spb1962 on August 16, 2011, 10:56:32 PM

Are there any daytime or nighttime episodes of the ABC version of Let's Make a Deal which still exist, whether in kinescope or videotape form?

I believe a good portion of the ABC run was part of GSN's rerun package, so yes, there are quite a few that do exist, if not the entire run.

I believe it was posted somewhere that 1100 episodes of the original version ('63-77) still exist.  It was probably around the time GSN either acquired the show, or was in the process of acquiring it.  Doing the math that would have to include some ABC episodes.  GSN did run a few of them, but they were nighttime shows.
