Deal Or No Deal made its big return on Monday – but not everyone was thrilled to see it back.
The ITV revival, fronted by Stephen Mulhern, left some viewers fuming as they branded the show "boring" and "ruined by pointless chatter".
Fans complain about 'endless talking'
Stephen's friendly chat with contestant Jamie didn't go down well with many at home, who were quick to vent online.
One irritated fan wrote: "New #DealOrNoDeal Been on 2 minutes and I'm already fed up with the inane chatter."
Another fumed: "Just open the bloody boxes without the inane jibber jabber #DealOrNoDeal."
A third moaned: "That's the 4 o'clock slot ruined #DealOrNoDeal."
Someone else added: "Switching off, CBA with all the stalling."
Others loved the return
Not everyone agreed though — plenty of viewers were just happy to have the iconic game show back on screens.

Another cheered: "Let's go! #DealOrNoDeal."
A third simply wrote: "We are back! #DealOrNoDeal."
Deal Or No Deal: Jamie's emotional story
Jamie, a model and footballer, revealed he was born deaf and hoped to use any winnings to help the deaf community in Africa.
He also shared that he'd love to buy his mum a car and travel the world.
Things started well for Jamie as he immediately removed the 50p and £1 boxes.
His game takes a turn
But the excitement didn't last long.
Jamie knocked out the £75,000 box early on, leading the Banker to offer just £675 — which he turned down.
After a few lucky rounds, the offer rose to £1,660, but Jamie played on.
His luck dipped again as he hit the £50,000 and £25,000 boxes, nudging the Banker's offer up slightly to £2,390.

In the end, he was left with £10,000 and £5.
Jamie decided to deal at £4,150 — but it turned out he had the £10,000 box all along.
