I think if they kept adding $1,000,000 briefcases, Twenty-One could have lasted longer.

Twenty One's problem was its leaden pacing. Players took forever to answer their questions. That doesn't faze WWTBAM but Maury Povich never engaged the players in conversation the way that Regis and Meredith do. Also the game could end after two rounds of play hardly building an exciting contest. Perhaps if there were only three questions (valued at one, two and three) for each category (instead of eleven) and picking up the pace would have save the show (for me, at least). The live band and meeting Randy West, was cool though.

I'm guessing focus groups determined that the name Nine didn't sell that well.
