[quote name=\'Matt Ottinger\' date=\'Feb 1 2005, 01:24 PM\'][quote name=\'Ian Wallis\' date=\'Feb 1 2005, 01:22 PM\']For a while it was rumoured that the entirety of "Blankety Blanks" existed, but we've seen no evidence of that.[/quote]
Extremely unlikely. When Sony purchased the Bob Stewart library, some of us HOPED that it might mean seeing greater numbers of some of his lesser efforts, and we did get to see some isolated rarities and pilots, but it's looking more and more like they just didn't keep that stuff.

Speaking of pilots, the Blankety Blanks one survives as well.

I recently saw Matt's updated page on BB and it cleared something up for me.  Back in 1983, ABC ran a weeklong series of vignettes celebrating their 25 years of daytime television.  One of the clips was of Soupy Sales on BB. So for the past twenty years or so, I kept hope the show was somewhat intact. I have now concluded that clip of Soupy came from the pilot, rather than the regular run.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.
