Million Dollar game shows

There's a discussion on the GSN Forums titled "What If? -- The $1,000,000 Press Your Luck Hour?" Here's basically what I had to say about it.

I'm starting to hate million dollar game shows. Honestly. So therefor, I don't want a Million Dollar Whammy/Press Your Luck. Seriously, I sure liked it when a contestant was happy winning over 10,000 on a game show or 5,000 for that matter. Nowadays, 100,000 or 250,000 isn't so bad. Maybe even 500,000. On certain game shows, giving away 1,000,000 is good. But, that's beside the point. I don't want a new version of Whammy!/Press Your Luck.

Another Poster: Come on Phimat. If you had the choice of being on a $25,000 game show or a $1,000,000 game show, both with the same type of gameplay and both having an equal level of difficulty, I'm sure you would choose the latter. 

Come on, I would be just as happy with a $25,000 game show. But, you can do so much more with $1,000,000. I just think game shows nowadays are dumbed down in a way.

I just hate it people on game shows nowadays don't seem to be happy with what they win, they get greedy. People used to be happy with $5,000, $10,000, $25,000 or possibly $50,000. Maybe even $100,000, $250,000 or $500,000 but that's as far as I'll go.

Another Poster: Press Your Luck is just all luck, and I still doubt any network is going to recreate it, except GSN. With Whammy!'s ratings, I can see GSN reviving Whammy! between now and the next 10 years. If GSN were to revive it now, it would be cheaper than the 2002-03 version 

 I agree there, but GSN would somehow screw it up and air it a lot (like any other network does with their shows) and overdo it. But, it would be worth a shot, I think.

I hope I don't sound like a certain person that owns a blog called the Game Show Follies. But, I think you know my view on million dollar game shows now.

Losing

Don't you hate it when the champions lose on these game shows? Well I was watching an episode of Family Feud on GSN just now and saw the champs lose. I bring this up because someone brought this up in GSN Chat room.

If they are actually good at the game and give good answers and don't fool around and tick me off, then I will say they were great players and would've been nice to see them play longer. If they weren't really worth watching, I could just say "forget it". Family Feud is probably my favorite game show. It's a fun show to play along with. Losing is just part of life, I understand that but it is just kind of sad. Like if I watch others of my favorite game shows such as Match Game, Card Sharks, Jeopardy! or the old version of Press Your Luck and the list goes on...

I will say, however, it is nice to get new champions on these shows instead of watching the same over and over because that can get tiring but, Sometimes it can be fun watching the same champion play over and over!
