Reminder: “Show Me the Money” Debuts Tonight
If you’re brave or high enough, remember that ABC’s “Show Me the Money” debuts tonight. In yet another Endemol show, the rules are simple. Answer a kindergarten level question, pick a dancer, get what’s on the scroll. Miss and you lose money. Pick the Killer Card and get it wrong and you are out. It couldn’t be any simpler. Or dumber. Or less entertaining. However, that’s just my opinion. Get your opinion tonight at 9:30PM ET for a special 1.5 hour premiere following the finale of “Dancing With the Stars”. The first twelve minutes of the show are on ABC’s website. I can say that after watching that, I am not looking forward to this show whatsoever. Nonetheless, be sure to watch and comment to us.
By the way, I’ve never agreed with a critic in my life, but there’s a first. Here’s a guy who hates “Show Me the Money”. I think he has the best line for the show based on a short preview seen: “It’s more than enough to judge: When you’re handed an ice cream cone loaded with lard, you don’t need two scoops to render a verdict.”
After watching the first game, I have to say that it is not as bad as I first thought from the preview on ABC’s website. Minus the first player being way in left field and William trying to make the simple questions at first suspending, I thought it was okay. I’ll set the Tivo to record it and watch it when nothing else is on during the week.
Whoever that guy who hates the show is, he’s crazy! There’s 13 women that love to dance and they got the right body moves as well. The most anyone can win is $1,150,000.
I got no problem with the show, maybe a little faster pace, but other than that I liked the game using elements from the failed pilot of Twisters…. give it time gang!
While I was doubted by the show at first, the game very interesting. The uniqueness is that you could win over $500,000 with one question to go, miss, get the killer card and lose it all. It has that I’m rich one minute and i’m broke the next. I like the show. Shatner is okay. A little bit of time and hell be fine.
I thought the first episode was great. I did see the preview on ABC.com and it was really good. I really think Shatner did great hosting tonight. The contestant at the end of the show lost everything on a “Killer Card” question which was not good. I really enjoyed it and I am looking forward to next week’s episode.
I did NOT watch the show. But I DID watch the 12 minute preview. And from what I’ve seen, this show is basically a combination of a really bad US game show (easy questions for ridiculously high money, and yes, as much as I like Shatner, a bad host!) with a really bad Mexican game show (the Future Strippers of America dancers).
All in all, it can be described in one word… or sound…
MRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP!
So corny. Alex was right when he said it ripped off of Deal or no Deal with the damn reveal and the women. It just seems like Shatner is so “blah” as host.
The main problems I have with the show are, must they use the same annoucer from both Deal and 1 vs 100. His brezzy stlye works on those shows,but is boring and low engery here. Get Burton Richardson or John Cramer!!
Second, I’m sick of the all or nothing ploy (here-the killer card.) How about if you miss the killer question, instead of leaving with nothing- you keep only 5% of your winnings, as additional dancers garbed in black- dance in sorrow for the player’s elimination.
flop flop fizz fizz another bad game show
I hate to judge a show off of a 12-minute preview clip, but this show didn’t have a damn thing that would’ve made me watch the 90-minute premiere. More prepackaged crap from the Endemol factory.
This show isn’t that bad. Shatner is a pretty good host. The one thing I dislike is the dancing.
I see a lot of people have already bad mouthed it based on a 12 minute clip of an annoying contestant.
This could stay on for its initial run and then afterwards, I dont know if ABC wants it back.
Well, you can’t say *all* the questions were simple. I was stunned that they expected a contestant to name the group that sang the fairly obscure song “Fade into You,” which peaked at #44 in 1994. The answer was Mazzy Star, who never had a top 40 hit.
I saw the entire show and overall, despite several flaws in the game (went too slow, WAY too much dancing, and horrible editing), it is a pretty good game show. And for those who think that this is just another rip-off of Deal, let’s go back in time 7 years ago. Remember when Millionaire debuted and became a HUGE hit? Guess what followed in its footsteps? GREED, Twenty-One, Winning Lines and The Weakest Link. ALL were clones of the Millionaire craze.
Now that prime time game shows are back, you would expect Deal or No Deal to be cloned 10 times over; you got 100, Show me, the rich list and soon to come, set for life (is that ever comes out). That’s what game shows do. And I’m a game show freak, so it don’t bother me.
Does anyone think that the person should have to get the question wrong for the killer card to “kill them”?
It just seems very unfair for someone to get every question right, and then get killed by the killer card, especially since, unlike “Deal or no Deal”, you have no way to “get out” of the game with your money at a point, other than getting 6 right (or 6 wrong). But, right now, if you get the “killer card”, you are done.
Maybe with the “killer card”, it makes it so that to keep going and win any money, you HAVE to keep getting questions right (unlike the rest of the game normally). Once you get the “killer card”, if you get a question wrong, you are out. I think that would be a fairer situation.
Maybe you missed the last part of the show. You only have to worry about getting killed if you miss the question. If you pick the Killer Card and you’ve answered correctly, you’re safe–you just don’t get any money for that question. If you miss, you still have one more chance to stay in the game–by answering the “Killer Question”.
The whole Killer Card fooled me. I thought if you hit it you’re done instantly and you’re out the
door but when I found out you could hit the killer card and had a chance to move on by answering the main question right to survive “death’s door” so to speak or get the main question wrong and answer the “killer question” right to move on I think that was done really well. It’ll either work with you or against you so that’s usually the time you better have a good handling on your trivia knowledge because it could very well come in handy when you’re painted in a corner by the killer card.
Does anyone have any idea where I can find the theme song they dance to and what is played randomly before commercials ? Thanks!

Buena Vista Television had done some intelligent stuff in the late 1990s. Win Ben Stein’s Money was one of the best half-hour question-and-answer big-money game shows in Comedy
Central history, having garnered nine Daytime Emmy Awards, including Best Game Show and
Best Game Show Host (Ben Stein and a pre-Set for Life Jimmy Kimmel) for which the series was nominated. There were three contestants answering the correct response to questions from five hilarious categories in an effort to win the daily grand prize of $5,000.
