Bottom line is that this is not the Millionaire we knew anymore. Whatever it is sounds like an ok gameshow in itself but make no mistake, this is not Who Wants to be a Millionaire. While they are at it Jeopardy! can do without the buzzers, podiums or game board. Also, why does Wheel of Fortune need that pesky old wheel anyway?

Ok:

Questions and answers: Check
"Final Answer?": Check
Money tree?: Check
Lifelines?: Check
Meredith?: Check
Contestant: Check
Different way of handling the first and second tier?: OMG PANIC

Just because they changed a part of the show doesn't mean the show changed. If you don't like it, don't watch.

/And I'm adding a LOL WUT too

Then the show will become "Who Wants to go to Jail"

And I think I am still one of the sane ones around here (No I'm not... yes I am...)

One thing I will say about the removal of the Hot Seat - at least it will allow Meredith to wear more skirts.

Or drop trou.

What I mean is that Meredith had to wear trousers instead of skirts in order to avoid a "Basic Instinct" shot.

Alternately, she could keep her legs together.

/Also could stand to take that advice

With the exception of the term "Final Answer?", there is absolutely nothing the same from the original version of the show back in August, 1999.

Questions and answers: Check - different difficulty level
"Final Answer?": Check - I will throw you that bone
Money tree?: Check - Money tree is different
Lifelines?: Check - With the exception of ATA those are different
Meredith?: Check - She is not Regis
Contestant: Check - NYC actor wannabes are the bulk of those chosen for this show now, long gone is the phone game

Different way of handling the first and second tier?: OMG PANIC - Yeah ok..... I am breaking out into hives as we speak. BTW, when the freak did I panic in that post? It means it is a different show. I mearly stated my opinion that it is NOT the same show that I fell in love with in 1999. It is not "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." It is not a bad sounding show, but it is not the same show.
