I heard something that Monty Hall had to step in to make sure that contestants got their respective prizes from this version. This version was a collaboration Hatos-Hall did with Catalena Productions, the same company that later stiffed Alex Trebek for his work on "Pitfall".
22:35; This might be the only version of LMAD from 1963 to 1986 to have a copyright on-screen, though it was only for the later episodes. I wonder if it was due to the legal issues Catalena was facing around this time.
You know, if I took this entire 1980-81 run of Let's Make A Deal and animated it into the "South Park" style with (or without) the help of Parker and Stone, while retaining the original audio of all of the episodes, you will be seeing each episode jam-packed with flapping trash can heads and beady eyes! Sorry for being racist....
