Anyone else here kind of addicted to "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"

Hubby and I watch two shows back to back from 4 to 5 pm.

We also loves us some Jeopardy at 7 pm, right after dinner.

1. It was pretty addictive back when it first premiered.

I remember watching it. It seemed like everyone was.

2. Walt Disney World used to have an attraction based on WTBAM

You competed against 650 audience members to get onto the hot seat. It was addicting. They made a rule for my family to restrict us from getting onto the hot seat too often

3. Have never watched any of those game shows since the 1950's.

4. Not much

Some of the contestants seem a bit dense and I wonder how they got on the show.
One recently had to "ask the audience" with the first question
because they didn't know what a "fleabag hotel" meant.

5. My number one addiction is Jeopardy......

and I also enjoy Millionaire once they get past the beginning questions.

6. I didn't know it was still on.

One of my nieces was on it some time back and did fairly well. She did have to pass a screening test in her home town, and I believe she had to pay her own way to NYC for the taping of the show, as well as the hotel there.

7. Like them both, especially Jeopardy.

I make fun of Who Wants to be a Millionaire by calling it Nobody gets to be a Millionaire, which is more like the truth.

None of the local channels broadcast Millionaire, and there's no NBC affiliate in rural west Michigan, so Jeopardy is out. There's also no cable tv where I live. No broadband INet either. I'm stuck with cellular INet and download limits. And cellular is fairly new here, too. There's satellite, but that's expensive and is download limited just like cellular.

Can't win here.

8. Loves me some Jeopardy, but Millionaire not so much

not many questions and the early questions are usually pretty easy. Oddly nobody ever seems to make it very far on that show.
Compared to Jeopardy, it just moves so slow - something like 10 or 12 questions in a half hour.

But that is better than that "smarter than a 5th grader" where they would cram 10 or so questions - most pretty easy - into an hour. Used to tape it and watch it in @ 5 minutes.
