TwentyOne: Yuck, what is this? You answer two or three questions, you win $100,000?
Way too easy. Okay host.
Well, what about the other one, Winning Lines? I hardly can make much sense of that one.
Millionaire?:Im starting to like Regis after seeing these two, yuck.
I prefer the Chuck Woolery one, I guess, although I wish people would quit going to only $200k.
I knew that was going to happen, that people would start quitting once they get to 200,000. Not at first, of course, but I could tell after a while. Anyway, I like Chuck, but I think that show is a little slow. I like the millionaire show. At least with that one you don’t go home with nothing if you miss!
I don’t know about these others, it’s going to turn into the 50’s again, with all the game shows. I wish they could make regular TV shows as cool as they used to be.
Meow!
Just watched about 5 minutes of Millionaire. It was all I could stand. They asked “What does the c in E=mc^2 stand for?”. Of course, it’s the speed of light. All the contestant had to do was say “speed of light”. The camera goes to a head shot of him, and he starts a freakin’ dissertation on the fact that he started college as a physics major. ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION! (I guess it’s true what they say about "know it all"s.)
I wish they’d just give Ben Stein a million bucks to give away. Of course I’d watch his show, even if they gave away pocket change and bus tokens.

first of all…some of those questions get more difficult when you get higher…not difficult so much as obscure I guess… second of all, when you’re up on stage with the freaky gothic music playing and all the lights and shit you blank out…I mean I’m sure the guy on the other night that used a lifeline on the “what word comes after ‘duck, duck,’” question isn’t really that dumb…you just freak
second of all…I just want to say that if the one with chuck woolery is “Greed”, it’s pathetic… it’s like the 7 minute abs part of something about mary… “Hey…they made a show where you win 1 million dollars and it’s popular…let’s make one with 2 million dollars!!” it just really irks me when somebody blatantly copies somebody else and people go for it. blech
The only thing a nonconformist hates more than a conformist is another nonconformist who does not conform to the prevailing standards of nonconformity.
I want to see the one where they strand people on an island.
I am not smiling at you, I have gas.
Kelli–That one may be coming. I’m reading that some of the network programmers are looking at European shows where people do gross and frightening things to win money.
“Millionaire” was an import.
Any European Dopers with an inside track on such programs?
Um (sheepishly)…“duck, duck”?

A woman on Twentyone won $100,000 by answering this pathetic question:
‘What comp. invented the DustBuster?’
I hope they don’t start copying Japanese game shows. Some of them are cruel.

The Canadians. They walk among us. William Shatner. Michael J. Fox. Monty Hall. Mike Meyers. Alex Trebek. All of them Canadians. All of them here.
There’s a good one in England called “Beat The Crusher”. I want them to import it.
Basicly you put your belongings up against whatever prizes they’re handing out. You fail, your stuff gets trashed. One I saw was a guy had to put on a wetsuit in 30 seconds. After that they started chainsawing his boogie board collection till he finished. The final part of the show two couples put their car up against the other. Winner gets a new car, loser gets to watch their car crushed in the crusher. Pure family entertainment.

There’s a million fine looking women in the world, dude, but not all of them will bring you lasagna at work. Most just cheat on you.
Beat the Crusher? Who would want to play in a game where you risk losing YOUR stuff? Sounds to me like televised gambling and not prize-winning. I haven’t seen 21 but I have seen Greed and Millionare, Millionare is way easier than Greed because you get to know the question first before you decide to quit… I cannot see how anyone can walk away from that game without some money. Besides, you have to split your dough with others in Greed.
