Millionaire Might Be Revived on ABC: Would You Watch?

January 15, 2009

Soon after Slumdog Millionaire's success at this year's Golden Globes, ABC started toying with the idea of bringing Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? back to its primetime schedule this Summer. They even hope to get Regis himself back on the show, 10 years after Millionaire first aired.

The show is clearly much more top-of-mind these days, thanks to Slumdog. Would you be interested in seeing the ol' Millionaire on TV again?

My grandma used to be obsessed about this show...so I know she will probably be really excited to hear this.

So weird the things we watched in the 90s. Just had a discussion about this today.

This show was good for about a week and then I was wondering why the heck it was on during primetime. Networks, stop being so lazy and make real scripted shows!! For the love.

Umm isn't it still on? I don't care if Regis comes back to host it or not :|

Yeah, I'd watch if I turned on the TV and it happened to be on. I'm not really a gameshow person, but this one was okay.

Sounds interesting enough, but I never really watched it before, so I doubt I'd watch it now.

if they change and refresh the show a little bit, i'd totally watch.

I used to like the show when it was on, but it can get so long with people thinking about the questions. I guess it adds drama, but it can be annoying depending on the contestant. I'll stick with Jeopardy, Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader and Deal or No Deal.

I could also just watch it in re-runs on the game show network.

I'm always so baffled when I realize it's still on.

I used to really like this show, except for Regis. If they bring it back, I hope they get a younger, less clueless host.

i'm kind of over this show to be honest. when i'm at the gym, i watch it on i don't even know what channel because it's on and well - it's just not that exciting for me to watch during prime time or whenever they are thinking of putting it back on
