Title: Let's Make A Deal to Let You Decide
Post by: jjman920 on January 14, 2013, 10:12:05 PM

On January 25th, Let\'s Make a Deal will allow people to tweet and vote on the happenings for a taping that day. The resulting episode will air the following Wednesday.

Sounds like a fun idea to try out. A little gimmicky? Maybe, but LMAD seems like the type of show that can pull it off.

I\'d like it better if it was being aired live, too, but I doubt that\'ll ever happen in the US.

For good logistical reasons.

This seems to be along the same lines as Conan\'s #OccupyConan project.

Hawaii Five-O did this last night -- voting on the episode\'s ending.

 

Not sure if the ending varied by time zone, since they said it was to be determined LIVE.

For good logistical reasons.

I\'m guessing the only \"logistical\" reason is because it takes so damn long to tape it.

 

If so, that\'s not a good enough reason to me.

And exactly what are you going to do about it?

Something tells me that\'s far from the top of the list. Going live-to-air is not just a matter of saying so and hitting a button.

If they want to go live to air, they could always have Jamie Kennedy guest host.

Is forcing every affiliate to uproot its schedule so you can do this a good enough reason?

Some would get it live, others would get it delayed by a few hours. But still this isn\'t like Live with Kelly or shows that are used to this setup.
