So Did Disney-ABC Dupe Us All This Season?

#1 Post by Brit Canuck » Tue Mar 17, 2009 11:00 pm

Two weeks ago, stations carrying 'Millionaire' aired a promo that showed us a bunch of contestants, and had a voiceover that said something along the lines of "Find out who will go all the way..."

Two weeks later, and still no Million Dollar Question (at the very least). A couple more quarter-million dollar winners (congrats to them, obviously, that was good), but still no million or half-million winners - and two more zero-dollar flunk-outs ('llamas') in just two weeks on top of that, one of them today, on St. Patrick's Day, no less.

Down to two weeks left in Digital March Sweeps, and less than 2 1/2 months left in the season, and I'm beginning to think that Disney's PR department misled us in order to try and raise ratings, which are hovering right now at a passable (for sydnicated shows) but season-low 2.4 according to BuzzerBlog.

Here's the question - do you believe that we will see a $1M or $500K winner at all this season, or do you think that The Mouse is getting his paws a bit grubby and misleading us?

"No one" is a perfectly valid answer to that question. :|

But there's still a chance, as long as the sweeps are still going.
