The Deal or No Deal game show is very annoying to me.

Ever seen Deal or no deal, with that chrome dome germaphobe Howie Mandel?

The premise of the game show itself is good. But the problem is they drag it out so long and so much, it is just excruciating to sit through an entire episode!

They got to talk to the "banker". Let's pause to meet your family, and tell us how a member of your family is just the greatest person in your life and get all teary eyed describing it, and how you could never be here if not for the strength they give you. And we will open this next case AS SOON AS WE COME BACK FROM MORE COMMERCIALS! And a lot of time wasting stuff like that.

And all the flamboyant fake enthusiasm the player has to show while deciding between deal and.... NO DEAL!!!!

It just annoys me. The game could take place in ten minutes, and they drag it out to be an hour long.

Watch the original UK version of the show. Whilst it also drags, they don’t have loads of family on and don’t go into people life history as much.

Isn't that the way that a standard auto dealer sells cars.

I am not a fan of that show, I find it boring.

One acronym, DVR. You don't have to skip *just* the commercials when you use a DVR.
