Even though it was taped in Vancouver, the show was mainly for the American audience. Also, as you can see in the intro, they money seen in this version had Monty's face on it, which could then be exchanged for Canadian or American dollars (usually the latter). As a side note, even though they're of different sizes, Canada did use gallons as a supplementary measurement.
The first time I had ever watched "Let's Make A Deal" Canadian version was on an American (formerly) indie station channel 31 WUHF-TV (now currently FOX Rochester).
Considering this was done in Vancouver, I guess they needed to meet CanCon requirements, hence why they had a different announcer and different model. Monty Hall met the requirement, as he was originally from Winnipeg.
@@bluebear1985 CanCon only required one on-air personality to be Canadian, so they could've used Jay Stewart and Carol if it had been possible. (For instance, Rod Charlebois on Chain Reaction and Mary Lou Basaraba on Super Pay Cards filled just that.)
Thamks for posting...given both this series and Pitfall were produced by Catalena Productions, they had some shared crew members (co-producer/Catalena founder Ian MacLennan, director Geoff Theobald, production staffer Cathy Okulitch, and stage managers Nick Orchard and Lyle Povah).
I love the music to this short lasting, yet controversial reboot.
I’d love to get a copy of the theme in the clear, but have never been able to find one.
The first time I saw this version was on a San Jose, CA independent station (KICU).
Did some of the 1980 version episodes come on KTVU before they aired the 1984-1986 episodes
Stock music was taken from the Las Vegas 1976's "Let's Make a Deal".
Rhodes TV Group syndicated the 1980-81 episodes, besides Fremantle.
Didn't know the box reveal sound effect originated in this version, it was used extensively in the 1984 All New LMAD.
the Big Deal cues used in 1984-1986 (14:23) came from this version, too.
And before that, it was used in the 1976-77 Vegas season.
Ah!! The ultra low budget version, but still fun to see.
You mean 5 litres of gas, Monty😏

I've seen disaster kitchens in big boxes before, but I think this is the first episode where I saw a disaster living room in a box!
14:26 "A digital timer" when it's clearly an analog one...
Different definition of “digital” back then.
@9:59, that;s unusual, describing a ZONK prize

Me neither
I did see it on what's now KIAH - CW 39 in Houston, TX.
10:49 slightly different and longer "Zonk" cue than the one we're familiar with.
Jay Stewart sounds funny with a Canadian accent.
I guess Carol Merrill didn't have a passport. I never knew she was born in Western Wisconsin.
Holy pitfall.

@@bluebear1985 Good guess!
@bluebear1985 Jay Stewart was busy announcing the B&E shows at the time, anyway.
That's just proof that they brought a bag. There's no way to tell what's within the bag
R.I.P. Monty Hall.
And Chuck Chandler (he died last June).
@@Lupton2000 him too.
@@Lupton2000 Last June was 2017? Dang, I'm a regular Rip V. Winkle.
Pat did excellent. 😀👍
