Future of Syndicated Millionaire

[FinalAnswer19]

Here's an interesting article from BuzzerBlog.  Let's not get all crazy but it opens up the ability to remain positive about the future of US Millionaire.

So possible classic Millionaire in 2018/19? I am keen for the wait!

That's all extremely interesting. It's actually nice to see that Sony is actively thinking about the brand's future. I didn't realize the stake that Sony had in the U.S. production, nor did I know that the rights would revert back to them if Disney ends up canceling the show.

So do you root for the success of the show now or hope for its demise and eventual resurrection? Regardless, I'm glad that Sony still seems to consider the brand valuable in the U.S.

I am glad to see that Sony sees value in the brand in all the markets it currently airs in and value in the original format as a base for markets to return to if the current format starts falling over.

I don't feel the full classic rules will suit.

Definitely 50:50 and Ask the Audience

Talking more of Phone a Friend, that opened to a Google search, so maybe implement Three Wise Men, +1 or Ask the Expert.

Shuffle format rules did require the contestants to answer within a reasonable time frame, and that rule needs to stay, as spending ages on one question is ridiculous unless it is the last 2 questions.

The set, I'd like to see return to old, or implement a new better set if wanted.

Different graphics would be nice, black and gold lozenges would suit me there. Can be a tint of another colour.

Classic or rave music cues.

Yeah, that's it.

Or they could do what the UK did and sort of combine Three Wise Men with the Plus One and isolate their friends in a separate room.

I liked it when they did that.

What, another host?! Also, that lawsuit created the Shuffle format?!
