The Million Second Quiz

[babylonsister]

Has anyone watched this? I love that it's getting people involved in being informed, but still seems creepy to me, maybe because it runs all the time? Ewww. Makes my skin itch.

1. What is it?

I have never heard of it. How about some info or a link?

3. I watched part of an episode.

It seemed OK but the host talks to much. To much about the contestants too. If I watch a quiz show I want lots and lots of questions.

I also don't like the couple minutes in Jeopardy when we are forced to learn something about the contestants. Who Cares? I'll take anonymity for 1000.

4. Ha! Good point. But it's very current info, so that's good. nt

5. True.. like "Who hit his 50th home run of the season last night?"

Luckily I knew that one since it was a Tiger, but some of it is so current if you didn't catch the news last night you have no idea.

I do kinda like it, but I watch Chris Hayes (he needs the ratings).

6. Awww...

I get up to here with so much news...HERE! I will switch on to Rachel, but at some point between the m$m and here, I drew a line (not red, just a line).

7. I love quiz programs.

Jeopardy isn't available here. But I can see two Millionaire programs every morning.

The new host is Cedric The Entertainer who blabs a bit, but it's much better than the inane patter from Regis Philbin. At least he has culturally current sense of humor and mixes things up a bit. He's more fun than Meredith Vierra who seemed to work via some formula.

I like to call the program "Nobody Gets to be a Millionaire", because nobody ever wins the top prize.

8. it's horrible and the ratings are just as bad.

10. Agree 100% - one of the worst trivia shows ever

first they cram 18 minutes and 20 seconds of quiz into every hour - and they seem to have a hell of a time doing that.
Most of the questions seem to be on the 8th grade level
Ryan Seacrest really sucks as a host.
Their attempts at hype really fall short.
I love quiz programs - figured out their timing of the quiz segment the first night. Thus when I watch it, I can switch off to a ball game and miss the crap.

9. Who wants to take a quiz that lasts eleven and a half days?
