Let's Make a Deal (1963)
Season 1
Let's Make a Deal is a television game show which originated in the United States and has since been produced in many countries throughout the world. The show is based around deals offered to members of the audience by the host. The traders usually have to weigh the possibility of an offer being for a valuable prize, or an undesirable item, referred to as a "Zonk". Let's Make a Deal is also known for the various unusual and crazy costumes worn by audience members, who dressed up that way in order to increase their chances of being selected as a trader. The show was hosted for many years by Monty Hall, who co-created and co-produced the show with Stefan Hatos. The current version is hosted by Wayne Brady, with Jonathan Mangum, Tiffany Coyne, and Cat Gray assisting.

S1E2 - 1963-1964 season
The pilot episode (which was taped in late 1963), aired on Game Show Network on March 4, 2003 (and was repeated several times).
Among the deals:
• Monty deals with a woman who ends up with an inexpensive fur coat. Near the end of the show, when Monty announced the Big Deal and the coat's winner, Maggie Guth, opted for the Big Deal, Hall revealed one of the coat's pockets had something in them -- five shares of U.S. Steel stock worth $265
Note: The above mentioned deal often was a trick Monty used in the future when contestants won zonks, to tempt them into keeping them or passing it up for another unknown. Yup, there might be a valuable prize (or perhaps, another zonk, and so on) concealed inside. The U.S. Steel stock prize was fairly modest, even by 1963 standards, but many times, there were such things as car keys, plane tickets to exotic destinations and checks/wads of cash worth thousands of dollars hidden inside those cheap furs, dusty living room couches, broken TVs, etc.
