because its not on live TV anymore.
Does anyone else think of Millionaire as a can't miss show!
Absolutely! We have been known to spend a solid day doing nothing but Millionaire shows. All four of us have been in the Hot Seat at least once. We only get to WDW about twice a year, but all the CMs know us and seem excited to see us on each trip. You would be hard-pressed to find bigger fans of both the television series and the Disney-MGM attraction.
I suspect that the show will go the way of the dinosaur at some point, but so far it seems to be defying all of the rumors. I know there are rumors that they will be closing soon, but that has been going around for at least a couple of years now. There are also rumors that the DCA version may reopen, but that seems unlikely. I guess we'll just have to wait and see while hoping for the best.
Both the syndicated version of the show and the primetime repeats on GSN are doing respectably well in the ratings, so hopefully that will extend the life of the attraction. The syndicated version of the show has been using the attraction to tape a week of two or shows each season too, so that may also help to keep it around awhile.
