Well, you were right about Fox and TNT. But NET (National Educational Television)
became PBS in 1970, and MTV debuted in 1981.

Note to everybody - I'll be out of town for the weekend in part for
celebrating my birthday on Saturday. Therefore, I'm probably not going to file
an Update on Friday and Saturday right after the show ends. I'll probably post
them on the newsgroup and Listserv sometime on Sunday.
PREVIOUSLY ON MILLIONAIRE:
Jason Block is $125,000 richer, and you aren't. He's the one with his all the
accolades for the time being, and not you. Now, please stop being so jealous
because he's the first lively contestant this month on Millionaire and that
he's not a boring egghead ("Regis, the answer is C") ...
Eric Molnar gets up to $64,000, but returns to $32,000 after misstepping on a
Chance, so to speak. Shannon McGee presses some keys randomly and lucks out
into the Hot Seat, then crashes and burns on Question 6.
Mark McDermott is now in the Hot Seat... and he's already got 11 questions and
$64,000 under his belt. With two LifeLines and four questions left, perhaps he
will be the next one to definitively answer the question...
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A **WHAT**???
No, not *that* question, *this* one...
WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?
For $125,000:
In the Botticelli painting "The Birth of Venus", what's Venus standing on?
A. Cloud B. Shell C. Tapestry D. Pedestal
It's B, a shell... his final answer...
And he has ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS!
It's time to see if he can make it into the 13 Club.
For $250,000:
Dry ice is the solid form of what gas?
A. Nitrogen B. Carbon Monoxide C. Hydrogen D. Carbon Dioxide
He's extremely confident that it's D, Carbon Dioxide.
His final answer... is worth...
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!
Is he lucking out? Will he stay in the 13 Club? Or move into the 14 Club? Or
the exclusive Millionaires' Club? Let's see...
For $500,000:
What ship is believed to have passed by the Titanic, ignoring her distress
signals?
A. Sirius B. Californian C. Carpathia D. Ann McKim
He's not yet seen the movie, but he's read a lot about it. He *thinks* he
knows, but he'll take the 50/50:
B. Californian C. Carpathia
Do you smell what Matt is cookin'? He says C, Carpathia.
His final answer.
And...
Well...
It looks like....
I'm hearing something falling and screaming, landing with a resounding THUD,
because it was the Californian that passed by the Titanic. The Carpathia was
one of the ships that picked up survivors.
That was ugly, being kicked out of the 13 Club... but he's still got a nice
chunk of change, $32,000!
FASTEST FINGER FIRST: Place these Mel Brooks films in the order they were
released, starting with the earliest:
A. High Anxiety B. Blazing Saddles C. Spaceballs D. The Producers
Correct answer: D-B-A-C (1970-1977-1978-1987)
Winner/Time: Kevin Connors in a close 5.34 seconds!
Kevin Connors is from Hebron, Connecticut, up in the Northeast part. His
wife's in the audience.

Apple for $200, not Bruce Vilanch. :)

Which feature is mentioned in the title of a Grammy-winning song by Kim
Carnes?
He remembers Bette Davis' Eyes for a lock in of $1000.
"My kitchen is spotless. What's my secret?" What's the punchline from this ad?
You tell me...
For $2000:
According to its slogan, what popular mint is "curiously strong"?
A. Breath Savers B. Altoids C. Junior Mints D. Certs
He's mulling it over. "I guess I should pay more attention to commercials."
The 50/50 leaves:
A. Breath Savers B. Altoids
He says Altoids and wins $2000.
For $4000:
In George Orwell's "Animal Farm," what kind of animal is Napoleon?
A. Horse B. Goat C. Donkey D. Pig
Silence. Hmmm.
He will go with D, a reasonably confident guess.
And...
IT'S GOOD! $4000.
For $8000:
When James Naismith invented basketball, what resceptacles didhe use as goals?
Being a UConn Basketball fan, he says peach baskets for $8000.
For $16,000:
Which of the following has NEVER been selected by Time magazine as "Man of the
Year"?
A. Pope John Paul II
B. Bill Clinton
C. Bill Gates
D. Ted Turner
Heh. Dubious that neither Matthew Shepard or Mick Foley are on the list...
A lot of mulling over here.... Hmmmm.
He will Phone His Friend Tom, who says Bill Clinton, unconfidently.
But he will trust Tom.
Unfortunately, it's wrong. Bill was on there last year and in 1993. The
correct asnwer is C, Bill Gates.
So he leaves with $1000.

A. Washington B. Lincoln C. Kennedy D. Franklin Roosevelt
I begin to see the sweat forming on his forehead... He will Phone a Friend,

certainty.
So he trusts Steve.
But as another Steve would say (Austin), don't trust anybody. It was George

Yeah, and people think the Backstreet Boys suck because their jealous
too right. This is thirteen year old girl reasoning (or lack of).
Maybe they do just suck and maybe Jason Block is annoying too . I am
really sick of people deflecting criticism through this bogus
argument. I was annoyed by Jason as soon as he began talking, way
before he won any money. And, go figure, I usualy like the other
contenstants, even ones that have won more than Jason.

Very easy for a $250,000 question. Solid Nitrogen and especially hydrogen
would be near 0K. neither is a sublimer. Not sure about CO at 1atm.

Okay. How about this.
Jason Block is the one who helped ABC pull a 20 rating/32 share Wednesday
night in the Nielsen Overnights.
And why the hell would I be jealous of his performance?

Honestly, I would have went straight out and said A. I was almost certain that
Gates, along with Clinton (whose been man of the year TWICE, once by himself in
93 and I think he was part of the "men of the year" with Starr in 98, how you'd
guess that) and Turner were Men of the year at some point (Time especially in
the 90s seems to go big towards corperate men of the year, just look at this
years MOTY, the head of Amazon.com!). So, I'd say they'd leave A & C.

This was a darn tough $16,000 question. I remembered Clinton had been Man of
the Year in the past (although I thought it was 1992, the year he was elected,
not 1993), and I knew Turner had been Man of the Year in 1991 (the year of
CNN's coverage of the Gulf War). I guessed Gates, assuming the Pope had been
Man of the Year sometime before.
Tough question. The Lifelines were almost useless there.

Georgetown is indeed the capital of Guyana. I just looked it up out of
curiosity. Wasn't that the city where Jim Jones and his cult was located?
Maybe that's how we were supposed to have some clue as to where it was!

What I find funny is that _you_ were the one who got in so much trouble for
badmouthing the activities of TPiR contestants.

Agreed. What's developing as the toughest type of WWTBAM questions are the ones
that ask which of these things is NOT like the others. (Funny, it was always a
lot easier on Sesame Street.) The problem is that you essentially have to know
all three of the correct answers to rule the last one out, rather than having to
know only the one correct choice.

Nope. Jim Jones and his cult were indeed living in Guyana but not in Georgetown.
They were in their own "town" (more like a big camp) called Jonestown.
