How about “Deal or No Deal AM”?

DEAL
One thing I do like is how they have theme episodes, which they reflect on the title screen. Calling it “Deal or No Deal DAYTIME” has a nice ring to it, and makes for a nice throwback to “Match Game PM”. However, one contestant per show means they need to cut out the corny gimmicks, and play the game. Allow for a little banter for contestants, but play the game, and don’t worry about over-editing. With the budget at 1/4 of the primetime show, a “big” win will probably be between $75-100K, which is about on par with that Millionaire gives away every day or so. A moderate win would be between $25-75K, which is still a lot of money IMHO, esp. for a daytime game show. The money given away doesn’t bother me, just play the game and cut out the goofiness.

5TH GRADER
I found the show okay, but it’s just too slow for me. Speed it up, and I could watch it.

POWER OF 10
No problems here, just cut the budget by 1/10, so that the questions are $100/1K/10K/100K and then $1 mil for the big question. I still say offer a bonus for guessing on the nose during the qualifier and even the main game.

Would love to see Singing Bee get a daytime slot somewhere too.

Syndicated Millionaire is one of the best shows in syndication right now! What is wrong with you?!

Anyway, this is definitely good news. DoND in syndication is already shaping up to be a solid show, as it’s going to follow the way the UK and Aussie DoND do it with civilian case holders and faster game play.

Po10 in daytime would also rock! The thing is, the Primetime version is doing great, and well, why not have both a Daytime and Network Prime time versions. Once upon a time, many game shows had more than one version of a show airing on T.V. I don’t see why it couldn’t work for Po10.

I hope they aren’t crappy like the syn millionaire and weakest link.

I’m really sick of the stupid syndicated shows. IMO they are fine in prime time

Round 1 - 5 cases (14 left)
Round 2 - 4 cases (10 left)
Round 3 - 3 cases (7 left)
Round 4 - 2 cases (5 left)
Round 5 - 1 case (4 left)
Round 6 - 1 case (3 left)
Round 7 - 1 case (2 left)

I think they will literally “whip” through the first two rounds - take out any dramatics, don’t show much between the opening of the cases. They could get through the first two rounds before the commercial break that way.

Another way they might get through the game quicker is for the first round (or even maybe first two rounds) is to have the player choose the 5 case numbers right away at the same time, and then open them in unison. They could do an interesting 6-panel split screen for that too (the 5 cases to be opened, and the contestant to get their reaction).

Really, the only dramatics from opening cases is in the later rounds anyway, so, I think getting rid of the “one at a time” case opening in the first round or two would speed it up, and get the game to the more “tension filled” later rounds.

I wonder how they will show a really “short” game though. For example, lets say in the first 2 rounds, the person loses every high case except the $250,000. The offer will probably be around $5-10,000. Considering the best possible 2nd place case left is $1,000, I would at least seriously consider taking the offer after only 2 rounds.

Or maybe they just would never show it ;)
