ABC looking to Revive Millionaire



An interesting bit of news coming from Mediaweek and ABC today. Mediaweek reports that ABC is looking to revive Who wants To Be A Millionaire this August to help celebrate the shows 10th Anniversary in America (Yes, 10 years). ABC is also looking to bring back Regis to do the show. And looking at what is going on with Million Dollar Password, Regis may come back.

I am hoping this all comes together. Super Millionaire did great in ratings in 2004 but ABC decided to go ahead with Desperate Housewives and pushed the Millionaire franchise aside. Now with the Movie Slumdog Millionaire doing well at both the box office and at the Golden Globe awards last night and the show celebrating its 10th year in August, it looks like this could all come together. We will keep you posted on this.
