NBC has hit the jackpot with its new game show, Deal or No Deal, which often airs several times a week. 

Deal or No Deal is highly entertaining; viewers quickly get drawn in and begin cheering for the contestants right along with the studio audience.  Players often bring their families, neighbors, friends, coworkers, even pets.  Contestants are usually bursting with personality and excitement, and as they share their life stories or plans for how they will spend their winnings, they only become more endearing.     

On the April 5^th episode of Deal or No Deal, Hans appeared, bringing along his wife and young daughter, who he described as the "loves of his life."  Hans, a car salesman, was funny and charming. His friends and family were exuberantly supportive of him. During the show, Hans clutched a guardian angel given to him by a former customer who was a cancer survivor.  His ultimate goal was to win enough money to buy his daughter a pony.   After turning down many deals, Hans was given a deal offer of $44,000 and a pony. He did a touching "secret handshake" with his daughter and took the deal. The family's jubilant reaction and Hans' obvious connection with his daughter made for a heartwarming, touching moment.  For consistently providing clean entertainment for the whole family, Deal or No Deal is our choice for Best of the Week.
