I listen to myself. I should have had kazoo check my arithmetic.

D'oh! I can't believe I built my own pyramid and blew the count...

The lack of a phone game is reason enough to de-sticky it.

Of course, I may come around if JIM CRAMER! is chosen as an expert for PTBAM . . . having him on the show would be teh awesome!

What about the lack of proof of the lack of a phone game? What's that worth?

There is no Phone Game.

You might want to argue that TPTB still might intend to announce a Phone Game, as a supplement to the auditions they've already announced, and I'd argue with you about that based on TPTB's likes and dislikes and simply practicalities (they don't need that many contestants for two weeks of shows). Since we're not privy to the secret thoughts of TPTB neither of us could prove our theory.

But the fact remains that unless and until TPTB announce that there will be one, there is no Phone Game.





There are also no unicorns.

Pointy stick? That was a Q-Tip!!!

I just meant that even kazoo, with her well-established aversion to math, could have figured out that 10 x 25 = 250, not 245. I was so into building my pyramid, demonstrating the page change and doing so before being interrupted, that I blew the arithmetic.

Like Marley, I am a pyramid-hater. I usually truncate them to the post that I'm responding to, unless there's a coherent, running dialog. I'm an old-school programmer, so I hate the waste of space in storing them, and I hate the waste of time in trying to read them.

Here's the latest from ABC Medianet:

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

(Premieres Sunday, August 9, 8:00-9:00 p.m., ET and airs for 11 nights, Sunday-Thursday at 8:00 p.m., with the finale on Sunday, August 23, 8:00-9:00 p.m., ET)



Regis and "Millionaire" are back in ABC primetime! Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the smash hit "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" comes back to ABC this summer for a special two-week event. "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" premieres SUNDAY, AUGUST 9 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) and will air for 11 nights, Sunday-Thursday at 8:00 p.m., with the finale on SUNDAY, AUGUST 23 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET).

Details on qualification opportunities for interested contestants from all over the country will be forthcoming, but ABC's 10th Anniversary edition of "Millionaire" will celebrate everything that viewers loved about the original, combined with the major improvements to the gameplay after seven successful years in syndication. In addition, as a brand new feature of the return of primetime "Millionaire," every episode will culminate with a celebrity playing one question to benefit their charity of choice.

2009 has already been a banner year for "Millionaire." From the Oscar-winning phenomenon "Slumdog Millionaire" to Daytime "Millionaire's" Emmy nominations on the eve of its eighth season launch, the pop culture juggernaut deserves a grand celebration. To date, there have been 1,285 episodes of the syndicated version, and before it went off the air in 2002, the primetime edition saw 363 episodes, including "Super Millionaire" in 2004. Over $132 million has been won by contestants over the decade ($79 million in primetime; $53 million in syndication). In primetime, celebrity players won $13.5 million for their favorite charities.

The 10th Anniversary edition will continue many of the strongest elements of the original show, along with some of the more recent modifications to the format that were streamlined over the show's lifespan in syndication. For example, the "Fastest Finger" element will return, and the lifelines will include perennial favorites "Ask the Audience," "Phone a Friend," and also "Double Dip" (which originated during "Super Millionaire"). Imported from the Meredith Vieira-hosted daytime version will be the new lifeline, "Ask the Expert," and the substantially faster gameplay featuring time limits on every question.

What has never changed is that "Millionaire" remains the only game show in the history of television where regular Americans from all over the country can win one million dollars by simply answering fifteen questions.

Potential contestants for the primetime 10th anniversary edition can learn about our in person auditions in New York City and in several cities across the country by visiting http://www.abc.com, keyword millionaire or http://www.millionairetv.com; more cities, and additional ways to qualify will be announced soon.

"Who Wants to be a Millionaire" is produced by Valleycrest Productions Ltd. Michael Davies is executive producer.

Good grief! TPTB just had to bring the celebrites back, didn't they?

So it's the latest SyndieBAM rules plus the FF, huh?

additional ways to qualify will be announced soon.

Phone Game? Phone Game?

Frankly, I think TPTB are just toying with my emotions. They know how much I want to hold on to a forlorn hope!
