Remember when Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? was the prime time sensation, a timely game show that people actually talked about the next day, and then ABC ran it so much they ruined the whole thing? Well, ABC is bringing the show back for a limited run this August, and Regis Philbin will host once again. In celebration, here's a bunch of videos of people blowing easy early questions.
Bob, it's great you finally discovered YouTube, but how about spreading those gazillion videos of today over a couple of more days? This "Here's a video, enjoy" makes me want to leave here and stay on YouTube.
...And it's official - ABC has run out of ideas. If intelligent, original shows like "Pushing Daisies", "Life on Mars", "Dirty Sexy Money", "Men in Trees" and "Boston Legal" are doomed to low ratings and the ax - then a tired retread of a cheap to produce game show starring the (pushing 80) Regis is going to be rating gold that will run for another 10 seasons.
Well, summer can be a bit of a dead zone. So, it's cheaper and easier to do something like this to fill time. The show is fun, and if they go back to the original style, it might be interesting. They need another million dollar winner. It's been a while.
