Last night watched the first episode of a week-long (and NBC hopes even longer) series called Deal Or No Deal. Premise is there's 26 suitcases held by 26 models, each containing a prize ranging from 1 cent to 1 million dollars. Contestant picks one that's their prize and selects others to eliminate what remains. At certain intervals a "banker" calls the host Howie Mandel (looking more like my brother than you might remember him) calls with an offer to take the money and run, or go on.
Mark Evanier and Gary Sassaman have wrote about it in their blogs. Although Gary has some good points, I have to give it Mark, as he made the same comparison I did to the old game show Treasure Hunt.
