Anyway, I'm still going to watch Po10 until it's pulled, mainly because the only way you're gonna see a million dollar win is if NBC spoils it, and until the real competition starts on Idol, it's just a circus. I am now 100% convinced that network executives have not the aptitude to handle game shows. To MikeSant318: Big Showdown and Split Second (and IMHO Three on a Match) are some real gems.

Australia still holds its own with two great exports to the world: Deal or No Deal (very successful still), and Temptation (definitely trashed by Fremantle US from the classic Sale of the Century into a complete waste). To answer my previous question: I'd bring back The Big Showdown (with the pot raised to $50K on free roll and $10K on time rolls), Split Second (with the original five-car endgame), and "Whew!" (with no real changes except the lifting of the $25K ceiling CBS had in the 70s).

I hope Fremantle gets that right and makes this game a lot of fun. I read those that people will try to have to risk there winnings if they want to go for one million dollars I think they should do it like 21 main game like this 1st victory alphabetics is worth $50,000 2nd victory alphabetics is worth $100,000 3rd victory alphabetics is worth $250,000 4th victory alphabetics is worth $500,000 5th victory alphabetics is worth $1,000,000 total from alphabetics $1,850,000 plus whatever won in the main game. speaking of Million Dollar Password I heard they are going to somehow combined the elements of Password, Password Plus and Super Password.

Like a lot of bloggers on this site (especially the "old skoolers" like myself), I am very leery of what Fremantle may do with this show...

Other than that, it was a great game. The 8 PM Saturday time slot did not give the show justice. Winning Lines’ 2nd round was horribly flawed. Other than that, it was a great game.

Anyway, MakeSant318, I don't believe the U.S. "effed" up Wining Lines at all. It was very good show with one of the all time great hosts (Dick Clark). The reason for it's short life could have been timeslot issues, ratings, or some other reason. But the game, in and of itself was great! Oh, and I think most would agree that, if anything, the UK has "effed" up it's own creation (Millionaire) by cutting the stack of questions from 15 to 12! The U.S. version is now truly superior in my book! Also, there are several examples of the UK has "effing" (I've got to stop using that word!) up OUR classics and exports, too! ( UK TPIR with JOE P. anyone?) Look, what I'm trying to say is no country is perfect when it comes to game shows. The U.S. and U.K. are probably head and shoulders above everyone else, but no country is perfect. GOD, I hate cynics!

Any word yet on when MDPW will air? Would like to see before I judge... Earlier post mentioned Winning Lines: Wonderwall - BEST...ENDGAME...EVER... Charter example of a good UK show effed up by people in the States; the Brit version of CatchPhrase lasted 5 times longer than the Art James version (thank you Roy Walker (the Brit host)) and generated the most outrageous unexpected moment ever (Snake Charmer - if you don't get the reference, go to YouTube). Let me open the question: Which classic game shows would you like to see revived or modernized, and how would you do it?
