PREVIOUSLY ON MILLIONAIRE:
Sometimes the questions can stop you dead in your tracks. For most people, it
signifies burning up LifeLines and eventually taking the money. For others, it
means going home empty-handed.
Tonight, Beth Woods will try to press on as far as she can as we ask...
WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?
Beth Woods is from the woods of Maine. Beth's husband is a professor of bugs.

and gets $16,000. He's a history major, so we're glad she called him!
For $32,000:
The 1995 movie "Clueless" is loosely based on what classic novel?

She still has $32,000!

featuring a triple main event with the Jericho/Benoit/Angle? Boy are
you a dedicated person! LOL. PPV was kinda lackluster but had some
bright points... although Jericho/HHH is possibly a WWF MOTYC if you ask
me, excluding gimmick matches like the Ladder Match.

I think that anybody who has a decent mind would watch Millionaire over
wrestling. But, that is just my opinion, and many people would disagree.
I would watch Monday Night Football over Monday Night Wrestling any week, but I
heard that MNF is losing ratings while Monday Night Wrestling is gaining
ratings.

If I had ordered the pay-per-view, I would definitely watch it over WWTBAM.
My 2 Cents,
Billy Beyer

Well, since USA has lost the WWF rights, this could be an interesting fall TV
season, especially with Rush and Dennis in the MLF booth (both of these are
true, right? The parts about the WWF rights and the new MLF commentators?)
The ONE and ONLY, Brandon Foster-Gray

Monday Night Football has been dropping in the ratings almost since it debuted,
primarily because the network TV audiences in general have been dropping at the
same rate. Another reason the show's ratings may have dropped *last* year is
because several teams that were way out of contention (Atlanta Falcons, San
Francisco 49ers) were scheduled a couple of times. Luck of the draw.
Dan Fouts promises to be a better commentator than Boomer Esiason, who was
fairly new at the job. Dennis Miller will at least keep things interesting,
although he could also be the second coming of Fred Williamson (who was
unceremoniously dumped from Monday Night Football halfway through his first
season after replacing Don Meredith). Rush Limbaugh is not being allowed
anywhere near the booth.
Me, I would have gone with one of the folks on ESPN's The Sports Reporters
(Tony Kornheiser, Mike Lupica, or Mitch Albom).
Back on topic: What game show themes would be best for a marching band to play
at a football game? My choices:
- Card Sharks '78
- Tattletales '82
- Body Language
