 "But it IS broke," he muttered weakly...

I meant broke as a relative term.

And since when did you start referring to yourself in the third person?

I'm not aware of any "the format must stay the same" clauses in international game format sales.  Maybe on this one point, GSN and Phil Gurin had the revolutionary idea of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". [/quote]
 Actually, Celador requires that any country that buys the rights of "Millionaire" MUST do it in the same format, same music, same answer colors (Orange/Green), and (basically) the same set design.

Their reason ? "Because it works" (According to a short special Good Morning America did on the international verison years back)

But that didn't apply to Weakest Link, right?

Each version of that show has the same thing that Millionaire had, except the fact that there were different rules, but the set, format and colors stayed the same.
