CBS has ordered six more episodes of Million Dollar Password. This is probably because the show, hosted by Regis Philbin, has become extremely popular. Over four broadcasts, Million Dollar Password placed first in ratings in its time period. It also placed first among adults 18-49 and adults 25-54. The show is averaging 9.46 million viewers. Looks like CBS has the right idea with ordering up some more. A few weeks ago, Joel talked about the appeal of Password. Perhaps, it's the celebrities they secured to come play: Neil Patrick Harris, Rachel Ray, Betty White, Tony Hawk and Rosie O'Donnell. But I think it's the power of the Regis. Everything that man touches turns to gold. Remember the craze that accompanied Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? I can't hear that theme music and envision the dramatic lights even now as I write this.
Million Dollar Password airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on CBS. Are you hooked enough to watch six more episodes?

Let me guess they are going to do the same them ABC did with Who wants to be a Millionaire - Put it on everyday and run it into the ground!!!! Once a week is enough!

While I've checked out the latest incarnation of Password, I MUCH prefer the old version. I don't care for the new format at all, and the set is ridiculously over-the-top. I guess that's what happens when you move into prime time!

I don't watch it because of Regis-- and thank goodness he doesn't really do much. I watched the first episode because of Neil Patrick Harris, then the next cause of Rosie. I've kept watching cause it's been a fun summer show. I liked Betty White on there but this last week Shanna Moakler was almost enough for me to flip the channel.
The key is getting good celebrities. I'd love it if Rosie and Neil could come back more often --- but yeah the appeal of the show (at least for me) isn't Regis (his act is getting tired)
just my thoughts

I miss the old puzzle aspect of the show. Now it's just "Who Wants to Make a Deal or No Deal."
