The New Treasure Hunt (late 1973) - An Empty Box? 

Thank you for posting these episodes. Wonderful to see my mother in all these videos, Naomi DeVargas. She passed in 1985, so it’s great to watch her model all the gifts. 😊

I remember this from childhood now I’m in my fifty’s those were the days 😄

I watched this as a kid in the 70s and loved it!!!😊😊😊😊😊

I never forgot about this show. The host's showmanship made it unforgettable.

New Treasure Hunt: What you get when Deal or No Deal doesn’t take itself seriously.

This was my favorite game show at 8 yrs old. Thought host was a 💓

Broyhill Industries Lenoir NC... I get misty eyed hearing that. Love the old school Treasure Hunts!

God I used to love this show when I was growing up.. Thank you so much for posting these episodes of "Treasure Hunt."

I remember watching this show in 1973(I was 10)! Geoff was great Rest in peace, Geoff!❤️🙏

Thanks for these Treasure Hunt episodes!!! Love to see more, especially the 70s

I love it when the clunk prizes lead to an even bigger prize!

LOVE this show. It's always been a favorite. I even managed to work a reference to Emile Auturi into one of my novels.🥰 Thank you for sharing.

Thx for posting, vivid recall this show.

1973: Treasure Hunt. 10 Years Later: Plays arcade games.

His was just a single neuron of a memory that I recalled last night. Thank you for posting this show.

This aired when I was 8 years old.I always thought Geoff Edward's would be on the truck delivering everything. Waving while they pulled up to the house...Ahh youth.

This is awesome! Thanks sharing 😊

I used to watch this show namely that they had some pretty cool cars on the show, those 2 Porsches were a real surprise, considering $12k was a bargain compared to the prices today

A Chuck Barris Production 😊

In the '70s, when I could convince my mom that I was sick and couldn't go to school, I watched this. (Rarely was I sick!)

I remembered watching this show back in the days with my parents & to think two porsches for just under 13 grand what a deal back then..

Taped at NBC studios in Burbank! Geoff Edwards was an NBC employee.

I haven't seen this since I was a Lil girl!! It used to come on late afternoons in the early 80's. 🤩🤩

15:06 NOOOOO!!!!!!! 15:31 YESSSSSS!!!!!!!

18:37 I would’ve expected something like this from Let’s Make a Deal 😆

I KNEW that I saw an episode with nothing in the box, although in a later episode, he told a contestant that never happens.

I was so excited about this show N miss. It

"Every woman can use some pots"! Nice...

Always enjoyed this show . Geoff Edwards was a great host. However, this show lacked what made Lets Make a Deal so good: Carol Merrill.

This was first shown on WCBS-TV (channel 2) in 1973 and then later revived in 1981 on WOR-TV (channel 9) and then later picked up by CBN (now Freeform) in the 1980’s.

Like how he paid prize money in real cash during those days...

Love seeing my mom in the mink! ❤

Obviously, this was replayed somewhere around 1980 as Amy Grant was only about 10 or 12 years old in 1973.

Here's a show that could use a reboot. A $2,000,000 reboot!

I;II TAKE This over Deal Or No Deal

I don't like it that Geoff didn't ask their names until they went on the Treasure Hunts.

4:24 That music is the theme song to The Newlywed Game, also produced by Chuck Barris.

$7G was a lot back then.😊

Emile's beard looks funny.

Here's an episode of The New Treasure Hunt in 1973.

U get a grammie birthday cheque!!

Two very brave and courageous ladies who won great prizes, Sharon won a living room bonanza worth $5,715.80 and Janice won $7,019.98 in cash and prizes, what a great game show gem!

@11:33 Listen to this and tell me this does NOT sound like Cyndi Lauper's song "She Bop"

I could see NBC or ABC doing a reboot of The New Treasure Hunt. the grand prize can be $100,000 cash or even $1,000,000 cash. Cars: Economy, Compacts, Midsize, SUV's, Luxury cars. Lots of trips. Lots of cash from stating at $500

Do you have the episode where one of the sketches is a county fair with a pie-baking contest?

Wait that's CJ from Matt Houston

Why didn't Alex trebek ever have a harum?

How did they get the figure of $19.98 for the shopping cart? Was that actually the price of a shopping cart? Could you even buy shopping carts back then?!

Zonk or Clonk which came first everything I ever believed in was a lie 😂😂😂😂

14:56 -- What not to do

I recognize the lead model, Jane Nelson, as she did a number of game shows in the 70s and 80s, and very sorry to hear of Naomi DeVargas' passing. Out of curiosity, does anyone know the names of the other models and what they're doing today, including Jane? Thanks bunches!

My friend Jeremy Fast is looking for the episode of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" with Regis Philbin and it's from May 17th, 2000. Do you think anyone could find it?

The predecessor of NBC's "Deal or No Deal"

Ridiculous set-up. The box was EMPTY

18:34 KLUNK!

He said every woman can use some pots.

I’ve been on a game show kick for the last few months, but this one… where’s the strategy.. Eh just not for me this one

Did she just get the $7000 or did she get the klunk prizes?

I’ve noticed this show is quite similar to Let’s make a deal.

Deal...or no deal ancestor.

Well, who else could come up with a show with such a flimsy premise but Chuck Barris? Somewhere in his diary, it must say, "Spent three minutes and thirty-seven seconds developing a new show today." I remember the original Treasure Hunt with Jan Murray, which, despite his being a comedian, was much more serious (and boring) than this 30-minute commercial for dozens of products. On the other hand, Geoff Edwards was brilliant as the host here. Monty Hall was the fast talking trader, somewhat detached from the contestants. You always got the feeling he was doing business, and he had to get a lot of business done in 23 minutes, five or six games before the final deal. Edwards knew this whole show was a silly put-on and was intentionally and em-barris-ingly over the top, as was every detail of this show, from models parading to march music, down to pricing all those unrelated items in a showcase down to the penny for no particular reason. I wouldn't binge watch this version of Treasure Hunt but appreciate the chance to have fun with it again in small doses. Thank you. PS $7,000 then is the equivalent of about $50,000 today. Not a bad haul, for not having to know or do anything. And since it was in cash, she had the money to pay the tax on her winnings.

Chuck Barris was the host?

Deal or no deal or this show which came first 😂 one ripped off the other

Jeff Edwards ?

I never understood why they had only women play the game. What was the reason for that?
