Millionaire vs. Apprentice?

[PennyLane0]

Since Millioanire is on all week at 9, isn't it going to compete against the Apprentice?

I'm surprised Trump and Regis would do this - which will you watch?

[Skeeter]

Hmmm....interesting question!!! For sure, I will tape one and watch the other. Not sure which one will be which, though!!! :)

Why would Regis and Trump have any say in what time it is on? I doubt Mark Burnett wanted the Apprentice starting 15 minutes before Survivor ended ( thank goodness that has stopped for now).

According to my tvguide Super Millionaire is on tonight at 9, then tomorrow, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 10pm eastern time.

[Skeeter]

You're right, Monica!! I just looked it up....Apprentice is on at 9, with Millionaire at 10. The big question/problem is: Survivor and The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose are both on at 8. Now there's a problem!!! :)

Well I am lucky that I don't watch the Bachelorette, but my girlfriends and sister are trying to change my mind. Do you get People Magazine? The one I got in Saturdays mail has SJP on the cover talking about why the show ended, but there is also a short list on the Bachelorette on which man she should choose.

There is a dilemma tonite with the final segment of Sex and The City and Millionaire.

I will try to catch Regis later in the week.

[Butterfly]

For Thursday they are putting Millionaire against ER. Are they crazy? I Will be watching ER over Millionaire. I think I am burned out of Millinaire. Is anyone else?

[PK...]

This seems appropos for this thread... Make of it what you will... ;0))

"Losers of the Week" is the title of an article by (LOL) "Muck Raker"... At SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMwww.azcentral.com/ent/pop/articles/0220losers-CR.html. Among other subjects, including Mel Gibson, "The Littlest Groom, and David Guest/Diana Ross, the following blurb appears....

<<<'Super Millionaire'

Regis Philbin once wrote a book called I'm Only One Man but his next one should be Can't ABC Find Another Man to Save the Network? Sure he rescued the letters A, B, and C from embarrassment and fourth place in a three network race once before, but now there are plans to broadcast a vamped up version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" four more nights next week at 10 p.m. in addition to his morning show chores. With Kelly Ripa also working doubles in an ABC nighttime sitcom, it's only a matter of seconds before Gelman and his clipboard get spun off into prime time loitering. But even with more lifelines and questions going up to unprecedented $10 million levels, isn't the network worried that Regismania, which peaked quicker than Milli Vanilli last time, will not be able to sustain itself? Said one spokesman for one of the ABC affiliates, "the network's in fourth place now. There's really nowhere else to go but up or get bought out by Telemundo. "Super Millionaire" replaces what was originally scheduled as a mid-season replacement, Who Wants to Watch a Test Pattern?>>>

The overnights should be quite interesting...

;0))

PK will probably peek in tonight to see how Regis feels, if nothing else.

Butterfly ~ that's interesting, because I used to be a die-hard ER fan, but have fallen away from it. I think part of it is that noone I know watches the show anymore, and, to me, it's no fun to watch a show if I can't discuss it with someone. I watched it a few weeks ago, and it did nothing for me. Pretty much since Dr. Mark Greene died, I have lost interest. It will be interesting to see which does better. I don't even know how ER does in the ratings anymore!!!

I will probably watch Millionaire at least once this week. I'm curious how the questions have changed and what two lifelines have been added or changed. I am wondering how far people will go now.

I got tired of the Bachelor/Bachelorette fiasco. None of them ever seem to work out and I don't like to see women degrading themselves by "falling" for a man after a few dates, when they've never been worth it in the end, and probably in the beginning either. I believe the ones who got rejected are the lucky ones, they got left to their own devices, which is the way it should've been all along. I wish they'd give it up on the Win a Mate on TV idea. The "winnings" are usually questionable. Who usually "wins", the "winners" or the "losers"? IMO, it's the "losers".

Skeeter,
Er has been great in my opinion. I can't miss it. Dr Weaver and her girlfriend have a baby now. Dr Lewis is pregnant and Dr Carters girlfriend Cem is pregnant also. Dr Corday isnt on each episode as much as she used to be but she is still there. I wish they would have George Clooney and Nurse Hathaway (I can't remember his character name or her real name) back for an episode or 2. But there is a new nurse on there whose attitude is just like Nurse Hathaways. Her name is Sam and she is dating/seeing/sleeping with Luka.

I am a ER fan. I do miss doctor Green. I wonder what Anthony Edwards is up to now.

I can dish Er like some on here can dish sex and the city. LOL..

[Skeeter]

Well, maybe I'll have to watch it again if I know I have a "dish friend"!!!!

I do have a question for you. Did Dr. Romano die? I saw the one episode where they were trying to lead us to believe he did. Just curious. If he's gone, I'd watch again!!! He gave me the creeps!!

Sounds interesting....like a baby boom!! I did see that Dr. Lewis was pregnant the other week when I was flipping through the channels. Who is the dad?

I could look at Luka all day (and night!!!)...cute, cute, cute!!

Hmmmm....now you have me interested. Maybe I'll start watching next week again (after millionaire!!!) :)

I do love the Millionaire show. I caught on GSN the other week when they replayed the show that the first guy who got the million (John someone -- IRS guy) won. I hadn't seen it before. I was out of town when that one aired. It would be so fun if someone would wil 10 mil this week!!! :)

Yes Romano is dead. A helicopter fell out of the sky and landed on him. The helicopter was trying to take off in windy conditions I believe. But it crashed in the ambulance bay.
Then Romano left all his money to the hospital and since Dr. Weaver is chief of staff she got to do with it what she wanted and she opened some kind of service for homosexuals. Kind of funny since Romano did not like them.

Dr Lewis was briefly married to a flight nurse on the helicopter. They got it annuled and then got back together and she thought he had died in the helicopter crash that killed Romano but he didnt get on the helicopter. so then they really got back together.

It has been interesting. This week is going to be good. Some pyscho gets ahold of a army tank and takes it to the ER.

[Skeeter]

Thanks for the catch-up. Sorry this turned into an ER thread!!!!

Now I have the bug to watch again, since I'm all caught up (well, mostly!)....thanks so much, Butterfly.

Now I'm off to the grocery. Today's the last day milk is on sale. Time to stock up!!!

It was the number one show of the evening.
