We’ll have a box for your opinions of The Money List and 20Q debuting at 8:00PM ET on GSN. However, I just wanted to show you a preview of what you can expect of The Money List if you haven’t seen any versions of it yet. Here you go.

This looks exciting!
Can't wait for 9:30p to come around…
It looks really good! This is perfect for GSN. Hopfully Fred Roggin is a candidate for the new Pyramid.
I wish they would have flip-flopped the lineup. I think TML would be stronger at 8pm and 20Q at 9:30.
Wow, is gameplay ever slow. Roggin could really stand to cut the suspense-talk by about two-thirds.
I mean, I know they have to fill an hour and a half here, but sheesh.
The Money List is easily the strength of the Saturday shows. Yeah, at times, Fred does stretch things a wee bit, but it works and he does a solid job as host. The show isn't without flaws. Conceivably, a team can win the game by not answering a thing, which doesn't sit too well with me. Still, you've got a show that makes you want to yell answers at the TV and is tense yet not of a life or death nature.
The show is okay. I prefer Eamonn Holmes (The host of FOX's version) over Roggin.
But the whole "Big Saturday Night" segments are junk. These skits that they do are not funny at all. All they do is make fun of Game Shows. As Monty Hall said at the Game Show Awards "Don't knock the Game Shows". Game Show Network should know better.
Give it to me! LOL. I never saw the FOX version so I can't wait to see this one.
I have high expectations of this show and from what I saw tonight, they were dead on. This is the first GSN original in awhile I actually enjoyed for a change.
I still firmly believe that nothing can be done to save Rich List/Money List. It's too slow even if you try and pick up the pace and lighten up the mood. Best 2 out of 3 means the team that wins does so almost exclusively on the luck of the topics. The chances that both people in a booth know the material is usually slim, so one person ends up sitting there nervously staring at the other hoping they can do it.
The show is just bad TV. Which is a shame, because everyone I've seen host the show has done a very good job.
A powerful quiz show hosted by sportscasting veteran Fred Roggin, The Money List is part of GSN's Big Saturday Night
Hour.
I have posted a full episode of The Rich List, featuring Eammon Holmes in his first series television appearance in the
United States, on YouTube.
You don't know how happy I am that "The Money List", a well executed and unique concept for a game show, is getting a second chance! It's a solid game, that just seemed to be in the wrong place over at Fox. Still, I think Fox should not have dumped it, but hey, it's back now and we should be thankful, let's hope we have a long run from this show!
Well, check on Sunday, and they have it down to 1 hour.
Is it still on Youtube?
do you have a link for the Rich List episode?
