Not sure what happened to my post:

No joke: Variety is reporting CBS has picked up Million Dollar Password for a six episode run later this season.  Regis Philbin is hosting.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

I personally wonder if Josef Adalian would make the cut as a contestant, since the show probably won't feature words like "skein".

As far as the show goes, I'll wait to see some of it before passing judgment. Surely they can't screw this one up, can they?

I'm usually one to urge withholding judgment, so I'm sorry I'm doing this.

But if that's really the title, they already have.

Fremantle probably doesn't realize the almost-must-have-Betty-White factor, do they?

I just wonder how they'll do it. Classic Password the whole time? Or will they add a lame new bonus round?

The bonus round could just be Alphabetics on steroids, you never know.

Oh, yeah. Wish in one hand. Right.

Yeah, I thought that, too. But I'm just too used to crud like the 2001 version of Card Sharks...

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I think they're going to make a new one. They probably think Alphabetics was too simple...

Classic Password: 10 minutes.

Bloated Bonus Round with Money Tree, Lifelines, and Family Members: 50 minutes.

Man, I hope I'm kidding.

It said 'risk their winnings for a chance at $1,000,000 in the Bonus Round' or something like that.  I'd think Alphabetics would be too easy for that, and I doubt they'd try to put it on steroids.  Maybe a regular Alphabetics after the main game, and THEN another bonus round?  I dunno.

Really . . . before today, wouldn't most of our reactions to the phrase "Million Dollar Password" be "punchline"?

Oh, and was this really a pilot, or did the planets just (mis)align?

Well, that seems conceivably easy to do, although not necessarily in limited-series form.  Just add a zero to the tournament top prize and there you have it.

Still holding cautious optimism, as the article seems to imply some sort of front game.

Finally... something I haven't seen for a long time,  a prime-time game show that features more than 1 contestant.  What took so long?
