[quote name=\'That Don Guy\' date=\'Oct 10 2003, 10:03 PM\']But speaking of bringing things back, why not bring back the Home Viewer Showcases? True, there's a couple of weeks' worth of episodes you can't show in reruns (obviously, an episode that opens with a mention of the HVS can't be repeated on CBS), but who wouldn't want to see (okay, hear) someone win over $100,000 worth of stuff for one postcard (or E-mail, although that would be a little easy to rig by having computer programs to send off multiple E-mails with prices that increase by a penny a pop)?

The reason the home viewer showcases are no longer done is this...
Years ago they had a home viewer showcase. Turns out that 2 people had bid exactly the same total. The winner was picked either randomly or from the first postcard picked with the earliest postmark date. The loser, obviously not happy, sued claiming that he/she should have won.
