<p><strong>DEAL OR NO DEAL &#8212; Episode 361 &#8212; Pictured: Chewbacca, Darth Vader, R2-D2 &#8212; NBC Photo: Adam Taylor  </strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Deal or No Deal&#8221; visits a galaxy far, far away with a special two-hour &#8220;winner takes all&#8221; Star Wars-themed episode on Monday, April 28.</p>
<p>Guest supporters for the show include Carrie Fisher, Chewbacca, R2D2 and Darth Vader as the villainous banker.</p>
<p>Hosted by Howie Mandel, “Deal or No Deal” is a game show where contestants play and deal for a top prize of $1 million in a contest of nerves, instincts and intuition.</p>
<p>I think the 26 models in &#8220;Slave Leia&#8221; bikinis, if nothing else, should juice &#8220;Deal&#8217;s&#8221; ratings for the night.</p>

<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Catch up with battling TV celebrities from the 1970s and ’80s on the “All-Star Family Feud” DVD.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">“Family Feud” had a nine-year run with Richard Dawson as host. Dawson, who rose to fame on “Hogan’s Heroes,” was a quick-witted celebrity panelist on “Match Game.” His success there led to hosting the new “Family Feud” program in 1976.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">The “All-Star Family Feud” DVD collects several celebrity episodes, with guest stars from shows including “Love Boat,” “Dukes of Hazzard” and “Dallas.”</font></p>
<p><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><br />
Dawson is determined to kiss every woman who crosses the “Family Feud” threshold. But, since he met his second wife on the program in 1981, I suppose you can&#8217;t discount his methods entirely.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">The idea behind “Family Feud” is to give the most popular answers to survey questions. Watching these shows from 20-plus years ago is an interesting time capsule — the answers to some questions are exactly the same as they would likely be in 2008, whereas in other surveys, new technologies and cultural changes have rendered the answers nearly inscrutable. </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">The contestants are mainly from TV shows of that era, though there are some reunions (notably “Leave It to Beaver”). The pop-culture melange of the “All-Star” editions is helpful in pointing out one’s own gaps in pop culture knowledge: There was a Jeb Duke? Shannon Tweed was on “Falcon Crest”? “Sha-Na-Na” was a TV series?</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">The production isn’t as sharp as the recent “Match Game” DVD set; sometimes the video is shaky, and there’s not much in the way of extras.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Some celebrities are better at the game than you might expect (Tom Wopat), while others are worse (Bernie Kopell). And at least some of the contestants will have you scrambling to the Internet, wondering, “Whatever happened to &#8230;?” </font></p>
