Hey everyone, so if you missed it, “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” is back with a premiere last night.
I watched it last night, and they did a very good job with it to bring back the original music and the hot seat.
Leave a comment below what you think of the revival.

It's very good. Eric Stonestreet won $125,000 for charity and he was the first contestant on this version. Will Forte is also doing very well so far and Jimmy Kimmel did good with the first ever use of Ask the Host in the U.S. I like how an expert can help you with the first ten questions and you also get to trade a lifeline with Ask the Expert. Overall, this is a very great show, despite the fact that the $100-$300 questions are back.

At least the quality of the question writing is much better than the syndicated version. By the Harrison era, every other question started with the words "In 2018..."; even the very brief Harrison-era snippets on Monday night's "Secrets & Surprises" special had one of those questions. And by $100K, we had esoteric stuff along the lines of "What color dress was Lady Gaga wearing when she met the Queen of England?" (not an actual question). I didn't watch the original primetime run much, so seeing all those million dollar question clips on the special made me say, "That would have been a $30K question on the Harrison version!"
