WWTBAM & Regis Return To ABC This Summer -- Maybe

[ulysses5019]

I reiterate my idea. TPTB know about this board. They know we can play well, They know we are fans and enthusiastic. They should get the contestants from here. Starting with those who have never been on any version of the show.

That sounds good. Then the veterans can have their own week?

I would imagine the lawyers would think that there might be an appearance of game show fixing if people are hand picked form here.

But it is a nice idea.

Bring back the phone game!

I see no problem with picking people for the show from the Bored.

But Skip has a thing about not choosing people who's internet identities start with an "M", so I'll be excluding anyone fitting that description since I think so much of my flunky.....

How 'bout
"The spare Beemer just will not stay clean.

My neighbor now has 3 tree species on the endangered list in his landscape, and we only have 1.

Our oil wells on the south 40 need a new coat of paint.

My relative needs 3 more plastic surgeries to beat Joan Rivers' record."

Bring back TOPG. Now.

I want to party with Madoff in the Hamptons.

I thought he frequented Palm Beach? Probably both....

Does sending $1700 a month towards your mother's care count? That's about all I got
in the sob story category.

I'll bet those Jazzy rentals are very expensive.....

Well, of course, I don't have a jazzy...nor does my 91 year old mother. She'd be a danger
in one of those!!

I have a Jazzy built for two. It has one seat, and a lap. Let's go out cruisin' Kiki.....

Sorry Gramps, but you're propositioning the wrong woman! Would you like my mom's number??

But did you get her a Snuggie for Christmas?

Adalian must be smoking whatever Kazoo has been.

[geoffil]

Does anyone think this might have something to do with why Million Dollar Password is on "hold" for now? Maybe Regis will be other wise occupied?

[Kazoo65]

See! I was right!!! ABC DOES remember that BAM's 10th anniversary is this summer. I even wrote Steve Beverly and told him I thought a revival was a great idea-and to "put that idea into Michael Davies' brain".

Now if only Mr. Davies would consider an online test for syndi BAM

Yesssss! Another vote for sharing the wealth...

[owenziligation]

Hi, I'm new to this website. I've been going here for over a year reading the transcripts and everything else. Now I finally decided that I should on here so I did. Anyway, here's what I think of this revival.

Pros:
- Regis is Back!
- Possible revival of Fastest Finger round. I really missed that.
- Original lifelines and everything!
- Maybe more $125,000 winners or more! No more clueless undiscovered New York actors or actresses going out with $8,000 or $16,000.
- This could also possibly bring back the celebrity editions, which I miss (especially Comedy Edition).
- It's an excellent way to celebrate the show's 10th Anniversary.

Cons:
- If this were to happen, would they be discarding Syndicated Millionaire? What if Meredith really likes hosting the show? To me, she's been an enjoyable host (Plus, I'm actually kind of related to her, so there you go).
- I'm kinda going to miss the crazed dancing people winning $100,000. They were a lot of fun to watch, IMO.
- What would happen to the Cat Deeley deal? I saw her in a video interview and I would have loved to see her in the host chair.

Other than that, I think this should be a great idea. I'd sure love to see the show back to the way it was.

Welcome to the Bored! After a year, it's about time you delurked!

[heelsrule1988]

Wow... this would be like revisiting my childhood. They HAVE to bring it back. They just have to. I can't even tell you how excited I'd be.

I don't remember dancing.....

[Buffacuse]

There is only one way for ABC/The Mouse to generate the buzz of the original game--the phone game, where for a brief time EVERYONE in America had a shot to be on a game show.

Anything else is a waste of their time...it won't generate the ratings/buzz they want.

Welcome!

Since you have been reading the bored for so long, you know not to let the 'idiots' scare you away.

Keep on opining. We like that, even when some don't agree.

In case anyone is interested in a certain prime time game show....

Adalian Column: ‘Millionaire’ Revival a Good Answer for ABC

By Josef Adalian

ABC is seriously considering bringing back one of the biggest franchises in modern TV history—and it’s about time.

<snip>

I've been out of the loop for about the last 18 hours, and so I'm just now reading about this.

Best. News. Ever. (Potentially.)

I have deemed this thread worthy of Sticky status.

Let the finger-crossing for the original phone game begin now.

Rats!

Oh wait ...

You did say uppercase "M", right?

Aside to Marley:

But seriously folks, I would never wish you ill in your quest.

Well, I made the first reply to this thread, for the sake of ontopicosity, but you'll notice that I haven't carried on with the fantasy. Frankly, I have no confidence that TPTB (the real TPTB, not just beast's MM) will do the right thing.

I'm not exactly confident about my chances, either.

Hope springs eternal for me. Add in the coincidence that the day this thread started, I had been going through some old files and came across the worksheet for my successful phone game qualification for SuperBAM. Somehow, I just can't manage to get rid of it.

Now where's the computer file for the worksheet template?
