I think a 5 percent range (the exact number, 2 up, and 2 down) on a new question is a much better option. Dang... although I'm still interested in the show, it seems woefully flawed at that critical "audience payoff" point. Also, for whoever said "Don't miss the first episode. Just don't", I hope nobody goes for it just to lose $900,000... I don't know if I could stand that vicarious heartbreak ;) The format for the $10,000,000 question is downright dumb if I understand it correctly; it’s pretty much a random 1-in-10 shot in the dark.

BUT, if it's a 1-in-10 shot on the same question, then i'm not sure if i like that new format. i sure as heck wouldn't go for the $10mil chance. if i were lucky to score it in the range to begin with, i wouldn't have the slightest clue where the last answer exactly was. maybe if the 10% range were whittled down to 5% for the final guess, it might be worth a shot then. funny you should mention that, dugger. i complained to someone just the other day about the million-dollar norm for game shows anymore. and it’s not like the $10mil boost is helping any. but that’s a different rant for another day.

Is there such a thing as "too much" money? Hmm. BTW, I'm also looking forward to seeing Drew Carey on the Price Is Right. God Bless!

That won't change. Also with the given rules, I can really see some people going for it all, especially given the fact that some will think, "Hey, no matter what I've got $100,000 in my pocket, this is a once in a lifetime opportunuty, GO FOR IT!"

Major props to CBS for that change. If Haterade's info is correct about the 10kk question, they also took an idea that crossed my mind a bit back, and one that's more creative. It's a bit more inventive than the 1/100 chance guess, which would probably never had be won, unless an incredibly lucky/smart person was also incredible bold (usually you only get one or the other, and that's if you're lucky, heh)... I especially look forward to this, and I agree the playalong factor will be enormous, and it will inspire watercooler talk much like some questions on 1vs100. I think it has the potential to be a hit, even get DoND *at its height* size numbers, if not more... :D Since I last knew, the “drop a level if wrong” concept is new, but one I thought should’ve been implemented.

The info is ALMOST correct. A few changes... 1. The ten million dollar question is the same as the one million dollar question. If the person gets the million dollar question right, then their range of ten is posted. In order to win the ten mill, the play must guess which of the ten is exactly right. The penalty for dropping down to $100,000 is accurate. 2. There's a HUGE play at home value. This is the first Davies show that the audience is allowed to scream at the contestant. Some of the questions are definitely next day water cooler material. 3. Everything else is accurate. 4. The show is pretty good. I expect it to get decent ratings. I don't think it will be a blockbuster, but it should do good enough so that we will see it again after the run. Drew Carey does a very good job in making the show work, and anyone who's worried about him being able to carry The Price is Right should be able to breathe easier. 5. Don't miss the first episode. Just don't. G. I was at the tapings on Wednesday night…

Easy to understand and has 100% "play at home" value. Alex, you said the displays are quite good... Any idea if CBS is taping Power Of Ten in High Definition? (Or is FOX the only network that will tape game shows in HD? i.e. The Rich List) And I LOVED Friend or Foe... Never understood why GSN let that one go.
