Let's Make a Deal 1968 episode original commercials

Just like staying home from school in the 1960s, here's some daytime television programming with a November 1968 episode of Let's Make a Deal that includes all the original commercials, including an ad for a new nighttime cop show called The Mod Squad. The BetaGems channel also has "Dating Game 1968 episode original commercials," "What's My Line 2-21-54 Lucille Ball, original commercials," "June 1992 The Hollywood Game longlost TV game show," "1960 punk dancer meets Groucho Marx on You Bet Your Life," "I've Got a Secret 2-9-56 Lucy & Desi, original commercials," "Rod Serling 10-19-72 I've Got a Secret TV gameshow appearance," and "Paul Lynde 10-13-72 I've Got a Secret TV gameshow appearance."
BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on KZbin or online. Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads.
In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area. This upload features materials protected by the Fair Use guidelines of Section 107 of the Copyright Act.

I remember seeing this show as a kid when I was home sick. It was fun to watch.

[@jimdep6542]

Same here. My "sick days" started with Dennis the Menace at 9am, then Leave it to Beaver. The afternoons had the Dating Game, Newlywed Game and Let's make a Deal.

Monty was a great host.

A kid in my neighborhood got one of those Tin Lizzy's for Christmas around 1968. The rest of us kids were jealous and he wasn't allowed to let anyone else drive it.

1:58- The Bon Viviant Soup Company disappeared in 1971 {after 108 years in business} because some of their cans of Vichyssoise {cold potato and leek} soup were tainted with botulism......which left one man dead and his wife paralyzed, due to botulism poisoning, in Westchster, New York in July 1971. More than 6,400 cans of Vicjyssoise soup were recalled--- and distrust in the company spread to their other varieries of soup; in the end, over a million cans of various Bon Viviant soups were pulled from grocers shelves, and they filed for bankruptcy. Whatever was left of the company vanished in 1974.

Such a sad story.

[@fromthesidelines]

I recall watching the daytime "LET'S MAKE A DEAL" in the summer of 1971 when ABC and Monty's production company provided a disclaimer about the Bon Viviant soups promoted on the program.

Wow, the police sergeant traded a zonk {an ostrich} for a baby grand piano which is the big deal worth $3,095, this is a super 1968 Let's Make A Deal episode gem, P.S. great original commercials too!!

[@jeffking4176]

I used to watch this as a kid , all the time. This is cool ❗️

That tv with instant on picture tube at 7:45 will run your electric bill up and burn your house down.

Promo for the mod squad and a PSA for the YWCA which I remember in 1968.

[@Rest65432]

I was a baby when this came out! a Friday the 13th baby!

[@darrylh1971]

The Crew Cut Tin Lizzie even showed up several times in the 1980-1981 LMAD taped in Vancouver, Canada.

[@fromthesidelines]

It was one of Monty's favoriite "Zonk" prizes.

[@TheDfarhie]

OMG, rhis episode pre-dates the horrific Bon Vivant Vichyssoise Botulinus deaths., which occurred in 1971.

Wow...Monte was a fast talker when he wanted to be.

[@fromthesidelines]

Especially when he was in the "home stretch" of a deal.

[@Rest65432]

I like the Mod Squad! Room 222.

The little clown balloon

[@Rest65432]

I had one of those clown balloons.

George Carlin has a great bit on Let's make A Deal.

[@darrylh1971]

You mean early 1969 for this Let's Make a Deal episode. ABC didn't acquire LMAD until December 1968.

[@anthonydavid5121]

Was everything shot in blackand white in 1968??? Gee, I wish I had a black and white television set.

[@jimdep6542]

No, most shows were in color by then.

[@fromthesidelines]

"LET'S MAKE A DEAL" was always videotaped in color. This is a black and white kinescope film of the original color videotape.

Thec5,4,3 opening

[@annealissa]

I guess you had to be rich to own a color tv back then .😮

[@Thomas-yr9ln]

My mom and dad paid one out. My mom and dad had credit with a place called western auto that also sold TVs. We had the TV for years my dad knew a preacher who was a pastor at a African American Baptist church who also repaired TVs. We had the TV until the picture tube was shot.

[@jimdep6542]

not really.. Most middle class families had one by then.

Good Gracious, Story and Clark pianos were pieces of junk even back in 1968! According to the Inflation Calculator, to today's money (2024) the retail price would be equivalent to $24K.. not very much for a grand piano - poor sound and most likely poor parts used.. no thanks.
