NBC is ending its run of revived game show Let’s Make a Deal early and replacing it with specials.

In the show’s place next Tuesday at 8 p.m., NBC will air Child Stars, Then and Now, narrated by Malcolm Jamal-Warner of Cosby Show fame.

I was afraid that that was going to happened with the competition and all(8 Simple Rules, JAG, American Idol). Are there any plans for a syndication version of the show??? I have heard various rumors in the past they were planning a syndicated version of Let's Make A Deal. Guess you can fill me in on the details about this, Pav.

I have no idea if the syndication series will come about, it all depended on how this show did in primetime.

Seems to me NBC wanted it to die.

Fridays would have been a better time slot than Tuesdays. What are going to happen to the other 3 episodes that haven't been shown??? I thought it was a great show myself,I taped all 3 episodes because I wanted to watch 8 Simple Rules. Maybe they will have a syndication version one of these days.

That sucks!!! Why did NBC have the nerve to do that?? The new LMaD was supposed to be a great show.

Ah, it'll be back. Someday. Somehow. NBC ordered five episodes, so I bet the last two may be run soon in another time slot.

NBC's Tuesday 8-9 spot has been weak for the whole season. It's had tough competition from JAG, American Idol, and 8 Simple Rules. They are all top 40 shows. So, basically, waht I'm trying to say, is that Let's Make A Deal should've been placed in a better slot.

That sucks!
I had my Bo Peep costume all ready to go.

I can belive that the game show Let's Make a Deal has been canceled already I think that NBC should have put Let's Make a Deal on Saturday Night's at 7:00 pm central time and not
on Tuesday night's the reason why NBC canceled
Let's Make a Deal is because NBC put Let's Make a Deal
on Tuesday night's at 7:00 pm central time.

Take Care and God Bless

We should flood NBC's e-mail and message boards and complain!

****e! They don't even give the show its 5 complete runs before they yank it off the schedule! You guys are right about the Tuesday night slot--that's what killed it. All of that build up for nothing!

If your going to purchase a show...at least run the 5 specials that you purchased!

This is really bad.
