No this is not a absurd joke. The are actually developing a cartoon about Millionaire.
Quoth the Hollywood Reporter:
[ul]The children’s strip, “The Adventures of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: The Animated Series,” will follow the adventures of fictional “Millionaire” winners as they pursue the adventures of their dreams in such far-flung places as the Amazon and the Himalayas. The characters are fitted with special equipment for their adventures at a “Millionaire Central,” which also monitors their progress.[/ul]
There’s so muck mockery I want to share, I don’t know where to start!
:rolleyes:
I think that is the worst case of “milking the franchise” I’ve ever heard. I hope someone wakes up and slaps some sense into these producers.
I hadn’t realized that 8 year olds was a viable marketing group for “Millionaire.”
I just laughed so hard at this. Thanks Smeghead. I have this image of The Beastis Boys Intergalatic Robot. Don’t know why. But it would be good, I mean what else are they going to use the money for? Personally, I think it could lead to the Ironman very quickly.
My favorite will be the Scrooge McDuck meets C. Montgomery Burns episode.
“Smithers, who is that ridiculous looking bird?”
“Why that’s Scrooge McDuck, sir. I believe he’s a duck.”
“Look at him with all his gold coins and his precious little nephews, sitting down for a dinner of complete with caviar… What’s for dinner tonight, Smithers?”
OW! OW! OW! My side! Good one, it will be the death of me.
Maybe this will be the new craze? Maybe in the coming months Fox will animate their “Who wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?” and “Who wants to be a Princess?”
On a side note who was the ‘Prince’ who volunteered for this odd piece of television?
Dunno, but that royal blood (not to mention coffers) must be getting awfully thin.
I caught a few minutes of “A Very Brady Weakest Link” last night. My favorite moment came a few minutes after Cindy berated Peter for not knowing a music question, then failed herself to answer “Who recorded ‘What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?’”
The bar for satire has been raised once again. Someone (Tom Lehrer?) retired when Kissinger got the Nobel Peace Prize. Somewhere out there is a comic with nowhere to go.
This isn’t a strip…it’s a full-fleged animated series. And one report I read says Regis will star…as himself, the leader of Millionaire Central Control.
Remember that the Walt Disney Company has made weird decisions in the past. This is one of them.
His name was something like Gugliemo Marconi Giovelli. I know the first two names are right, and the third is something similar to that. Ah, perhaps I wasn’t as qualified to answer this question as I thought.
Lol, that does sound like an odd show…Anyway, I don’t think it’s all that easy, at least it hasn’t been in all the times I’ve watched, though I have stopped watching. Some have been pretty random.
I saw the “Weakest Link.” Man, but Cousin Oliver was hairy! Like a little yeti. I wasn’t too devastated to see him get voted off first.
