For those speaking from a ratings standpoint, would the 2002 primetime specials be a sufficient argument?

Outside from a one-off road trip, military audiences, and a $100,000 top prize on the big wheel, it was standard PIR fare.

Just a thought.

Million dollar game idea -
10 Chances - win all 3 prizes in 3 chances, win $1M - a stretch but it can be done

Another million dollar game idea:

Take the Range Game and change the size of the board to about three times its normal size. Then have the range finder be a small rocket that fires up the board. Drew lights it, then the contestant can stop it with the stop button. That thing would shoot up fast, so you have to be quick!

But I do agree with Mr. Lemon: Don't give away a friggin' million dollars!!

Poker Game:  You are given the cash value of your IUFB, then sat down at a Texas Hold'em table against Allen Cunningham, who has a million dollars in front of him.  You beat him heads-up, you get to keep the million.  

Of course, like every other poker show, this will have to be edited down to show eight hours' worth of action in two minutes.

But, on a more serious note?...

Check Game:  Get either $5,000 or $6,000 on the nose, win a million.

Evidently, you don't watch enough TPIR.  That's not a good selection based on the fact that ot happens too often on the daytime show.  I'm not sure if doing that and adding a BONUS window selection (as was done with Range Game) is a good idea either.

I had the same idea, but the million dollar payoff would be only if it was hit with the first punch.  Otherwise, it would be $25K.

50k good enough?  Or are you gonna complain that the show gives away too much money here, too?

Wow, who pissed in your Wheaties?

A difference of $25K on a nighttime show is not Mo' Money, despite what you might think.  And given you kvetched about a post made 5 weeks ago about a hypothetical situation which happened a week ago, I have a hunch you don't think much.
