When will Show Me the Money come back? If ABC executives think SMTM wasn’t on the Alp-
habet Network’s Wednesday evening line-up, I wouldn’t be ashamed that FOX pulled The Rich
List off the schedule… William Shatner, would you come back and transform Show Me the Mo-
ney into a successful hit? Good question, only if NBC scrapped Andy Barker, P.I. after just one
episode over the broadcast airwaves! http://www.abc.com

Hello out there. No DOND post to comment, so here I am.

Say, wasn’t the lady on DOND (1/10) on an episode of “Show Me The Money”? If so, she definitely got more $$$ this time around!

Thanks for your blog.

Show Me the Money could be the first casuality of the 2006-2007 season, sort to speak.

I wish I would have gotten to see and possibly even be on The Con Test. It sounded more exciting than Show Me The Money. im curious as to why ABC wouldn’t pick up The Con Test.

Hmm… what would be worse… watching an hour of Show Me The Money or watching an hour of America’s Funniest Home Videos…

The sad part is that this took the place of The Con Test, which was going to be such a great show.

Yes, but when will we ever get the chance to see TJ Hooker salsa again? Never, I’m afraid.

even worse was when he conveniently would tell the person they got the question wrong before they even pick their dancer. Then when they pick their dancer the dancer is holding the killer card. Why with all the other questions people get wrong would he not tell them in advance?

My belief is the show was edited to have the contestant pick the killer card only when they got the question WRONG. After all, what fun would have there been if the killer card was picked when they got the question RIGHT. None. What you said Jordan supports my belief…the killer card was picked only when the contestant got the question wrong.

I love the show, the dancers, the music, and… well thats it…

Shatner is drunk, can’t dance, and a jinx

THREE TIMES

Count them 3/5 episodes, he jinxed a contestant “YOU GOT IT WRONG, DON’T PICK THE KILLER CARD” and what do they pick? THE DAMN KILLER CARD!

I liked the show but a lot of it was staged. The contestants played dumb after they picked A B OR C and would be like “so wait I can choose to not answer this” OBVIOUSLY they played the game backstage to warm up etc. Obvioulsy they knew the rules.

And Bob was at $600,000 and need two more correct questions to win a ton of money if that was the case. But we don’t know the fate of the unaired episodes if they decide to only air them on abc.go.com to see and remaining winners and losers.

WOWWWWW. Good thing I didn’t go to that open call in Ventura. However, I am glad that they aren’t continuing it. The problem I had with the show every freakin week was that it was going so dam slow. Although Shatner is known for dramatic pauses with his talking, it needed to go faster.

And for the record, here’s what I thought about the first episode… oops. I mean the sneak peek. I think it was fake. If you think about it, the first guy with his murse (man that guy made Richard Simmons seem straight)was ready to take home a lot of money and wound up with almost $1,000,000. Then the next player got the killer card and lost everything. When he picked that dancer, I KNEW that she held the killer card. The game was so obvious.

We all saw this coming. But Kudos to ABC for at least letting the show air all of it’s episodes. Maybe we’ll some more BIG wins before the show runs it’s course, that would be great!

I am glad they are finally canning this. there are a few things i like about it bascially the hot dancers and that you have to play until the end but Millionaire is the best game show ABC has had in years. i can’t judge The Chair because i never saw it although which i could have. I dont think Set For Life will be good either but i could be wrong. I am hoping to hear more about Easy Money which from what I read could be interesting.
