"Family Feud"'s hosts have all been either comedians or
sitcom actors (Richard Karn, John O'Hurley), and Richard
Dawson made it OK to put down contestants who gave
obviously dumb answers.
As for "Millionaire," although Meredith was just fine, Regis
was the show. I also didn't care for some of the rule changes;
even though I agree with the time limits (one contestant once
spent 53 minutes trying to figure out an answer), I preferred the
"$64,000 Question" style of the questions increasing in difficulty
along with their dollar values.
As for Cedric, I don't find him a bit funny. I would have preferred
to see Regis come out of retirement. I'm not optimistic that "Millionaire"
will be around more than another year.
Meanwhile, if Katie is still on the ABC o&os this time next year, I'll be
interested in seeing if Meredith is against her on the NBC ones.
