Apparently the first couple got ripped off on the post-it notes question. At least that's what I read on another site. I hope they're wrong. Uh oh I just saw they were sold 5 years before the Walkman.

The Sony Walkman began being sold as the Walkman in Japan in 1979. Although the Post-it-Note was invented in 1974 at 3M, it was not sold in the market until 1984.

I like the concept - but won't be watching anymore -- the "fake" suspense dragging it out for the money to drop -- annoying!! Who wants to be a millionaire, and Howie's show - both same way -- dunt, dunt, da.... long pause, more long pause, maybe, nope more long pause - come on couple give us good drama while waiting!!! I would have lost the million saying password was the password...

I like it, but there is a lot of filler time.

Something said last night gave me the impression it's a possibility in the future again.

The post-it note was sold in some areas from 1977 apparently, so they were technically correct. The same thing happened on the UK show (different question obviously), and they brought the couple back and let them play from the point they got the question right. I hope they do that with this couple.

I finally watched - and while intellectually i know that not everyone knows everything (and has seen more than enough of those surveys of what people actually know and dont know) - it just boggles my mind that anyone would think bill gates would be the person of the CENTURY in 1999...he was just coming to the massive fame he has now around that time

I watched last night and thought the contestants all seemed prepped to debate and disagree too much. I could be wrong. They could have easily figured out it was Bill Clinton by counting Obama 2 years Bush 8 then Bill another 8 but instead it went into a 30 sec discussion. it just seems as if the contestants are encouraged to waste time or something. I thought the questions were all very easy.

Shenanagon I agree! They do seem to waste time, and the female voices always get to me. do they really get that wired? were they told to act that way? the husbands seem so calm and relaxed. If it returns I will not be watching.

I agree with you, Trini and Shenanagon! These people seem like they are "almost" actors. It's kind of like a mix of game show and reality show actors. And that last couple that lost all of the money on the Statue of Liberty question really, really got on my nerves...and such easy questions! This is one show I will not be watching when it returns.

ABC's Good Morning America interviewed the couple that did lose the $800,000 with the wrong drop (per Post it notes) GMA did the research, and the couple were right, no question about it - so the show has offered to let them come on the show, start ALL OVER again! (um yeah, that's "fair") But the couple said they are thinking about it - that its hard to explain the stress involved and part of the edited version is that the guy broke down and cired for over 15 min, and they wanted to walk off the show at that point... they alluded to some family stuff, and they are going to school.. but I wondered if part of their speech is to try and get the show to just give them the money they "earned" (??? because they did have to go further before getting that cash - emotionally they wouldve played differently with $800,000) I wont be watching, I HATE how they do the delay, delay, delay...

I would not make them start totally over. They should start at the same number question with the $800,000. But actually, if the show / Fox can't accurately fact check the answer the their question, they should give the $800,000 to the couple.
