OT Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

Submitted by Sambojangles on
Is anybody watching the return of Millionaire this week? I really don't like this new version. My complaints: -The timer makes the game move too fast and is obnoxious. I understand trying to hurry people up, especially for the syndicated version, but part of the game is that you get unlimited time to answer a question. -It's not in HD. WTF? It's 2009! -Regis talks to the contestants and the audience too much. I don't care if the person lost their job, needs the money to pay for college, or whatever. Just answer the question. Especially because the conversations are so awkward, for whatever reason. -The celebrity question at the end is ridiculously stupid. Last night was Katy Perry, and I am now dumber for watching it. Now it's Vanessa Williams, and she's not dumb, but I'd rather watch someone random than a rich celebrity playing for charity. -They changed the money values from 32k to 25k, 64k to 50k, and 125 to 100. Way to be cheap. I literally dropped what I was doing when I saw the commercial for it's return and put a reminder in my calender. As you can tell, I'm quite disappointed by what it became. 8/7c on ABC, all this week, I think.
