TV NEWS: CBS HAS ITS EYE ON DATING GAME & LETS MAKE A DEAL REMAKES

WE HAVE TWO GAME SHOW REMAKES ABOUT TO COME TO NETWORK TV. I’VE WATCHED THE GAME SHOW SPECIALS WHEN THEY’VE COME ON TV, SO I KNOW THE HISTORY & ENTERTAINMENT VALUE OF THESE TWO STORIED SHOWS. IF THE NEW ONES ARE ANYTHING LIKE THEIR PREDECESSORS THEN WE’RE ABSOLUTELY IN FOR A HUGE TREAT. I CERTAINLY HOPE THIS IS THE CASE.

CBS eyes game show remakes 'Let's Make a Deal,' 'Dating Game' may be updated By James Hibberd To replace the longest-running drama on television, CBS may order remakes of two of the longest-running game shows. CBS is weighing pilot orders for "Let's Make a Deal" and "The Dating Game." The network wants to check out updated versions of the shows as part of its effort to fill the daytime slot to be voided by "Guiding Light," the recently canceled soap that ends its historic run in September. The original "Let's Make a Deal," hosted by Monty Hall, aired from 1963 to 1973 on ABC and NBC, followed by various syndicated versions and remakes over the years. The original "Dating Game" ran from 1965 to 1980 on ABC, followed by several syndicated versions.
