SHOW ME WHAT'S BEHIND DOOR NUMBER 2: The all new Let's Make A Deal, which replaces Guiding Light on CBS stations this fall, will originate from the (less-than-entirely) Fabulous Tropicana Casino in Las Vegas, NV. If for whatever reason you find yourself in Las Vegas dressed in a ludicrous costume, you know what to do (tickets available here). LMAD is a fascinating game, because unlike pretty much any game show save Deal or No Deal, there's fundamentally no skill involved other than the Monty Hall Problem.

This also gives an opportunity to reference cult game show classic Whew!, which, despite an elaborate opening sequence and a dramatic bonus round, suffered from perhaps the most complicated rules I've seen for a game show.
