I haven't seen Hoosier Millionaire since I left Indianapolis about four and a half years ago. I did know there's a new version of it before I left but I didn't get a chance to see it. How's the show now, besides the whole cancellation thing?

Tyshaun...
Although I don't remember the show that much like I said earlier, I do remember that the Mark that catskin522 is talking about is Mark Patrick, former WISH-TV 8 Indy sportscaster and the first host of Hoosier Millionaire. Barbara (although I don't remember her last name) was a co-host. I rememner that she also worked at a local Indy furniture store. Doesn't Cody Stark (who was the weatherman of WXIN 59's morning show) host it now? That's what I heard.

First, watch you language! There are kids on the page.
Mark Patrick and Barbara Hobbes(sp?) were the ORIGINAL hosts on HM. However, in 2003 or 4, Tribune bought the show and fired both. The new hosts sucked and why the rating are down.
Clear?

Oh bullshit.
How about you let the mods do their job? I've read much worse language on this forum, and if that didn't cause a problem, I doubt saying "hell" would cause any damage. :-P

Doesn't Mike Brandenburg do some spoilers about it too? That makes three. Hardly enough people on here who care about the show enough to do a spoiler for it, even WOF still has five or six fans from Invision:)

If I get chosen to play on the live show Monday night at the Indiana State Fair, I'll suddenly care a lot more.
If not, I'm not gonna sit through the taping. :)

That's enough bickering, children.
It would be a rather sorry state of affairs to be thrown in the I.B. over a thread about the Indiana State Lottery, with all due respect to Lambert.

I care about the show now. I guess because since I had to move away from Indy and I really didn't see the show much when I was there, and when I did, I barely remember it. Now that I can't see the show anymore, for some reason I miss it. I did hear that the new host is Cody Stark (former local Indy weatherman). Is that true?

Yes, Cody Stark and Catt Sadler was the new host until Cody left the show to go to California. Now, it's Tony Lamont. Paula Ingram is filling in because Catt is having her maternity leave.

Thanks, Charles..
Tony Lamont? I remember that guy! He did those furniture commercials up there.

<Meatwad>Only adults like us are allowed to say damn, bitch, ass and hell. So get your hellin' dammin' ass back in that bitchin' damn room, dammit! (Sorry, but it was just too easy to do.)
My question is how are lottery shows even really game shows in the end? More importantly, why are some of them even still on TV? I understand in places like California and Indiana (at least what Brian and Chuckles will have us believe), they're draws. But we had one in the New York area (and for the entire state of New York) for a year and change (I'm sure Zach knows how long it ran, and I'm more sure I could give a Chartier), and I just was wondering after a while why this show was on in the first place? The show, of course, was NY Wired, and as far as I can recall no one who won a spot on the show played (the store owner who sold them the ticket did), and if I'm also not mistaken, the potential for prizes wasn't very good (split among however many people were there).
Call me stupid, call me crazy, but I just can't understand why any state lottery would do something like that.

This one can be termed as a game because, well, it's an actual competition with players going head to head.
Same thing with Illinois' earlier incarnation of a lottery game, and Illinois Instant Riches was a game as well.

Pretty darn good way to get people playing, assuming that they see normal people on TV winning, and not the owner of the local Kwik-E-Mart. [Bob Barker] That's duuuuuuumb. [/BB]

Fine and dandy, but could you ease up on the quoting there? What you said did not need PYLDude's entire text block to embellish. This was a recording.

Yeah, and...? Last time I checked, this board wasn't "G" rated. If the kiddies need something refraning from profanity, they can use the message boards at theromperroom.com.

Not zipped, but taken another route if we could.
I'll begin. Are there/were there any lottery games where a champion could return every week as long as he or she remained the champion?

When Illinois Instant Riches used the "Pot of Gold" bonus round, if the person in the "King of the Hill" spot won (by succesfully booby-trapping a space twice, I believe), they got to come back for another week.

Yep; you're right. They did have a limit of six wins, and the only reason I remembered that was, first off, I couldn't believe they even had a limit, and, second, I was interested in seeing how they picked the person to be the "champion" for the next show (IIRC, it was just a random drawing, but can anybody confirm/correct that?).
But, as far as redesigning "Hoosier" goes, didn't the last "redesign" bomb so bad that they went back to the original format? I guess they haven't learned from their mistakes...:)
Oh, and I've always liked the show, save for the last "redesign." Mark Patrick was a much better host than either Cody or Tony, and I'm not particularly fond of the new tournament format as opposed to the million dollars potentially being won on each show like the "days of old." But, it's still watchable; I just wish some of the contestants would actually show some excitement at winning (a few weeks ago, someone who got $9,000 in a single pick didn't even crack a smile, clap, nothing. And yet that team who won $50 on "Sexwars" were ecstatic!).
