Really, never watched Who Wants to be a Millionaire. I also don’t intent to ever see it. Anyone with me?
Am I missing out on something special?
I frankly don’t see what all the fuss is about. The beginning questions are real, real easy, they get harder the more money you accumulate. Also the commercials interrupt the flow, and the contestants take too damn long when they are stumped, they are allowed to call their mothers, or take an audience poll, or two of the four answers are eliminated to make it easier. It does get suspenseful as it goes along, of course, but give me “Jeopardy” any day, this thing is “Jeopardy Lite”.
I have watched Millionaire, but last night I watched Sculder and Mully-- Uhhh, Mulder and Scully on The X-Files. Good episode, too, all about snake handlers. :eek:

I also have never watched…and have no desire to do so

Nope, you’re not alone. I have not watched one entire episode. I saw about 10 minutes at a friend’s house. It was all I needed to see to realize I was not missing a thing.

This coming from a self-proclaimed Trivia addict. Lord knows I won’t miss my Jeopardy!, and give me a game of Trivial Pursuit anyday. But this show just seems corny.
Glad to see others feel the same.

Yes, coming soon to a TV near you, I star in a lame, comedic rip-off of X-Files. The random song and dance routines alone ought to guarantee our ratings success.
I am currently accepting application for the role of Sculder.
My sig line is currently unavailable. Please check this post in 1 hour when we resume our broadcast day.
I watched this show for the first time last night. It was okay, but I still would rather watch Jeopardy.

In the original “Jeopardy!”, the value amounts were $10-$50 for the first round and $20-$100 for the second.
In the current “Jeopardy!”, the value amounts are $100-$500 for the first round and $200-$1000 for the second.
Isn’t it about time that the amounts are multiplied by 10 again? It’d put “Jeopardy!” on better footing than “WWTBAM?”. As it is, I watch both, and only “WWTBAM?” because the money is better.

Never seen it, don’t want to. However I love Jeopardy and Win Ben Stein’s Money.
Watched it one night at my grandmother’s. [“Men on Film” voice] Hated it! [end voice]
Can’t stand game shows anyway.
Yes, AWB, they should up the stakes on Jeopardy!. I hate that the half-wits on Wheel of Fortune(which I only watch cause the kids love it, and are generally better than most of the contestants) can earn more dough than the (usually) intelligent contestants on Jep. Somehow just doesn’t seem fair.

What does “20.6 32 33.67” mean? Is the first number the share for the 18-34 demographic, the 2nd number the share for the over 60 demographic, and the 3rd number the share for all categories? Or what?
Never seen it, not for one second. I hear enough about it without actually watching it. If it’s on at the same time as X-Files, I’d much much much rather watch X-Files.

Never seen it, sounds stupid. I see stupid people every day.
I’ve also never done the “Macarena”. I’m very proud of that.

I like it. I just started watching it a couple of weeks ago, when it came back. I think the reason I like it is because a)no one goes home empty-handed (except that Little Jack Horner guy) and b)it’s a show where I could actually win.
Ben Stein does rule, though.

I’d probably watch it if:
a) I owned a TV.
b) I watched TV.
c) it wasn’t hosted by that Regis guy who is not the least bit funny at all.
d) it didn’t piss me off because the guy lost because he didn’t know the answer to something so easy.
