You might want to watch Millionaire today - VIDEO

by Bob Sassone, posted Feb 24th 2009 10:03AM

Who Wants To Be A MillionaireRemember when the prime time version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire was the buzz-worthy show on the air? That was before ABC said "hey, we have a big hit here so let's run it into the ground." The show then started airing too much and the episodes were filmed too far ahead of time (it was so much more exciting when the dates for the filming of the show and the airing of the show were really close to each other) and it just became another game show. Now there's a daytime version with Meredith Vieira, and they've made several changes to the show. But are fans still watching?

You might want to watch today's episode. Former Jeopardy! champion Roger Storm looks like he might be going far if the video after the jump is any clue. It also asks us to watch today's episode, so maybe he just might win that million dollars?

Spoiler follows after the jump (though the title of the video is misleading.)

I want to add what the article should have mentioned in the 2nd sentence. That's was before ABC said "Let's have celebrity editions and kids and families instead of those once nerdy, computer programmer based contestants of the first shows." Many a time someone was comparing the regular contestants to that nerdy character on the '80s NBC hit Family Ties and the show's producers wanted to steer far away from that persona. They kept airing too many shows during the week. Once or twice would have been enough. I wished that the shows would have aired live instead of taped--that would have created so much excitement. And I liked Regis Philbin's monochromatic ties and sharp suits. I almost changed my wardrobe because of his influence.

I hope you have a wonderful day from all of us here at http://www.joeonthetube.com

No need to be rude or ugly. Sean Penn is a blow hard, and no one cares what he think.s Deal with it.

I think Anil Kapoor should host.

You mean Mr. "Who Wants To Be a Milla-NAIR!"?

My boyfriend has been shouting it that way all weekend after we finally saw Slumdog. It was cute...at first.

Yes, I watch Millionaire almost religiously. I think Meredith Viera is the best host ever! She really works with the contestants and works the audience as well. She's great! I have yet to see anyone win a million in the daytime program. I hope it happens.
