Deal,No deal tonight.

It's a game of no skill, decisions that are random and rely on nothing but a chance on luck.
Snakes and ladders is more enthralling, and would challenge the audience as much.
Isn't this game-show illustrating how far the viewing public have been dumbed down?

Or am I thinking too much about what game-shows are about?

You are correct that it is a game of no skill NMH, but like BAG i have been off work for quite along time, due to an operation, and as such have become quite addicted to the show, it is total luck, i agree, but i do think the way Noel Edmonds presents it, he makes it very interesting, and as much as it is all luck, it's amazing how many people around the country talk about it, with a view to what they would have done etc.

statistically, you should swap boxes...but I don't understand why, it should be 50/50 but its definitely better to swap

This is a variant of the Monty Hall problem. It is explained much better than I could ever manage it here:
