Top ten rejected new names for WWTBAM

Am I remembering correctly? If so, what's the official name of our favorite show now?

The same vague memory says that one such change precipitated the removal of the question mark at the end of the show title. That was apparently sufficient to constitute a name change.

From the Home Office, where we sit around all day thinking this crap up...heeeeere we go...

Meredith unilaterally changed the name of the show as soon as she took over. To the best of my knowledge, she has never called it "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire." She may have said the full title once or twice in five years, but she generally calls it "Millionaire," or "The Millionaire Show." She has also (almost?) never said "Is that your final answer?" She mostly just says "Final?" I guess that leaves more time for her to chat.

I don't think it's true that they have to change the name... Didn't "Card Sharks" change their format a few times over the decades but they always kept the same name. The only thing they could change it to and not annoy the fans would be "Millionaire" because as TheConfessor mentioned Meredith refuses to call it "Who Wants to be A Millionaire"

AD, I always think you're funny -- but today's list tickled me even more than most.

Sorry. skanky squirrels are fine with me, but not skanky beavers.....
Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.
