ABC is yet again using one of their network’s stars to do the hosting of shows. William Shatner, who was recently roasted on Comedy Central, will be the host of the new game show “Show Me the Money”. In the game, contestants will have to answer trivia questions and be lucky while picking “scrolls”. Getting an answer right will multiply your bank roll by what is on the scroll. However, one wrong answer and you will be divided by what’s on it, possibly losing millions. No premiere date has been set, but seven episodes have been ordered.
Here’s the only thing that scares me. I like the idea of the game, but even FOX turned it down. Is it that bad and ABC is dumb for picking it up, or is FOX stupid? I’d go with FOX being stupid if ABC didn’t get rid of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”, so it’s all up in the air now.

TJ Hooker as quizmaster?! I’ll admit, I was surprised when I found out that Howie Mandel was hosting a game show. I was even more surprised about Bob Saget. But William Shatner of all people! This show should be interesting.

Just remember back in June 2000 when FOX opted to kill off “Greed” when new production staff took over the network. It would’ve also been a huge success, however FOX is underfunded in my mind as the winners of teams who won at least $500,000 were to receive their money through annuities.

I think this will be a good show. I think William Shatner will do a good job on this. i have only seen a bit of the show Boston Legal and from what i saw on it i liked it. i also liked watching him on Star Trek and Im not that big on science fiction. I think selecting him to host this will be interesting and exciting to watch. now i wonder when this show will begin because I think this will be a great show.

[...] Okay you know William Shatner’s new show? First it was called Show Me the Money, then Show Me What You’ve Got, followed by Show Me What You Got and finally Show Me The Money yet again. Well Show Me The Money has gotten yet another (and quite possibly the last name change) as it is now called One for the Money. Make up your minds ABC! [...]
