I seem to think CBS has gone downhill on their holiday themed episodes of game shows every year and I would like to know why CBS is doing this? Is it because holiday themed game show episodes are expensive to make or is it because CBS is always trying out new ideas for holiday game show episodes every year to save money?. Take for instance I was watching Let's Make A Deal's Halloween episode and I saw few Halloween themed prizes and the only Halloween themed stuff that Let's Make A Deal had were Halloween themed zonks and pumpkins decorating the stage and when I saw this episode I was shocked because Let's Make A Deal always has done an excellent job with their Halloween episodes in the past but this year's Halloween episode of Let's Make A Deal could've been much better. And the only CBS game show that had a great Halloween episode this year was The Price Is Right and it seems that The Price Is Right seems to be the center of attention every Halloween rather than Let's Make A Deal. I hope that when Let's Make A Deal has it's Thanksgiving themed episode it will be good and worth watching and I hope that CBS has a Christmas themed episode of Let's Make A Deal that is wonderful as well

I think they are trying to get away from holiday themed episodes, so that they can rerun them at different times of the year! They are cheapskates!! What do you think Bestie?

Here's another thing I have noticed about CBS's holiday themed episodes of game shows. Whenever it's an important holiday I've noticed that The Price Is Right gets all the glory rather than Let's Make A Deal and I can't figure out why they do this? Take for instance today The Price Is Right had a 4th Of July episode this morning but Let's Make A Deal did not and it tells me that The Price Is Right is the king of CBS's game show lineup and LMAD has no interest in making holiday themed episodes. I feel that LMAD should've honored America's birthday with a July 4th themed show with America themed prizes and games. I hope CBS learns it's lesson and has special episodes of game shows on other holidays and not just on Halloween Thanksgiving Christmas New Year's Day and Mother's Day
