Hi!


Is it me or ABC not going to show its two weeks 10th anniversary Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? Both TitanTV and Zap2It say nothing about HD for this game show's return.

Thank you in advance.

According to ABC's press releases and media site, the definitive answer is no HD for WWTBAM.

Thanks. Bah. ABC needs to get this show in HD!

Maybe Regis doesn't want to show all his new wrinkles in HD since the last show..

Good excuse.

Isn't his morning talk show in HD though? I never saw him in HD before since I don't watch those morning shows.

The Regis & Kelly morning show has pretty soft HD. Nothing is ever "razor sharp." It's like they have Vaseline filters on every camera.


Regis was on Letterman the other night. Now that's good HD. Regis definitely looked wrinkled.

Pitiful, especially since they try to make it visually dramatic.


But what I want to know is, will it be played under the old rules, or the new sucky rules that they use on the daytime version, with timers?

Only the "fastest finger" qualifying round from the original version will be coming over, everything else will be the same as the daytime version.

Yeah, I just got done watching this wondering why the picture looked so terrible... now I know!

The gorgeous set is calling for HD. I doubt iut will ever since its ratings are not doing well either.

Its like when SNL disses on The View...they make it look like watching thru a dirty fishbowl.


Dont they call it the Baba Wawa effect ?

Worst quality of SD I've seen all year... for a primetime show it's a big dissapointment..


Hence the low ratings?

Visually, a terrible looking show with a set that screams for HD.


It would help if they didn't have a celebrity playing for their charity. I mean that is all fine and dandy, but people want to see ordinary people have a chance to win a million dollars.


I don't mind the clock because it gives more contestants a chance to play. However, Regis keeps trying to be funny, and a few times almost cost the contestant a chance to answer because he is BSing while the clock is running. I just think the show needs to be run tighter.


One thing that hasn't changed; people still don't know how to use their lifelines effectively.
