Airdate: Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
Reports today that the return of Who Wants to be a Millionaire is set for Monday October 22.
The show is taking over from Temptation in the 7pm timeslot. Ed Phillips' game show is hardly faring that poorly, and with numbers down for 1 vs 100 (due in part to poor lead-ins), it's an unusual programming move.
Given the show is returning at such a late stage of the year, one would have to presume this is a programming experiment by the heads at Nine. There will be about one month of the ratings season left to play. If it doesn't work it would logically peter out at year's end. If it does work, it gives Nine some ideas for 2008. Temptation, which is said to return, could move to a timeslot prior to the 6pm News.
But what do you think? Are you ready for Eddie five nights a week?
