	Bambooweb: Greed
		Greed is a desire to obtain more money or material possessions than one is considered to need.
		However, greed has become more acceptable (and the word less frequent) in Western culture, where the desire to acquire wealth is an important part of capitalism.
		Greed in the Buddhist sense is a form of attachment, a deluded view that exaggerates the positive aspects of an object.

	Greed (game show) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Greed (or Greed: The Series) was a short-lived American television game show where a team of contestants answered a series of multiple-choice trivia questions for a potential prize of up to $2 million (later $4 million during the five Super Greed episodes).
		Repeats of Greed have aired on GSN (formerly Game Show Network) since January 2002 and also these repeats are being aired in Australia on Fox8 since May 2006.
		Toward the end of Greed's run, the qualifying round was eliminated, and the five contestants for the team were given their positions randomly in a backstage drawing.

	Game show - FreeEncyclopedia
		A game show is a television program involving members of the public or celebrities, sometimes as part of a team, playing a game, perhaps involving answering quiz questions, for points or prizes.
		In a reality show the competition usually lasts several days or even weeks and a competitor's progress through the game is based on some form of popularity contest, usually a kind of disapproval voting by their fellow competitors or members of the public.
		The Weakest Link, Greed) exploit a disapproval voting system similar to the reality game show, and play up the realistic confrontation between contestants, but are in fact just conventional game shows, where no bodily torture or emotionally stressful situation is created, other than the failure to answer some question or impress hosts.

		He currently hosts "Lingo", one of a handfull of shows that GSN debuts once a year, to air for five weeks, before falling into a rerun rut, and never to be heard of again, before they roll out their next handfull of poorly conceived game shows.
		Good game shows are ones where the contestants are having fun, and you don't have to form any kind of emotional attachment to the contestants.
		Now the classic shows are returning to the network, only one original remains (Lingo, one of only three good ones that they had, along with Hollywood Showdown and Russian Roulette), and the non game show programming is being cut back rapidly, with only a few gambling shows on every once in a while.

	Greed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Yes, the show was designed to catch the high-stakes game show fever that "Millionaire" started, but Greed was a great show on its own and was much better than "Millionaire".
		True, Greed was never disfigured by those evil network execs (they dropped the axe on it first), but I still think WWTBAM is the most perfect quiz show created (albeit mutated horribly by umpteen trillion celebrity editions and the spurning of the phone qualifier).
		Greed will probably go down as one of the game shows in cult TV history, and that's a damn shame.

	Salon Column \| For the love of the game show
		"Greed" is the Darth Vader of game shows, unapologetically embracing the dark side.
		At various checkpoints in the game, one teammate is singled out and given the opportunity to betray another for $10,000 ("Do it!" the audience urges); the smaller the team, the bigger each slice of the pie.
		Watch "Greed" and, I guarantee, you will be deeply ashamed of yourself, not just because you've given Fox another precious hour of your life, but because you'll know the answer to every vacuous question about TV Dinners, dead celebrities and the names of the candy bars in a bag of Hershey's Miniatures.

		Barber thinks quiz shows will always form a part of free-to-air programming, so long as networks are willing to accept the fact that audiences "skew to the 50-plus".

	Why 'Greed' Trumps 'Millionaire' \| TIME
		In contrast to 'Millionaire''s critical love-in, 'Greed' was panned as a crass rip-off (though 'Millionaire' itself took a British game show's format lock, stock and blinding light panel).
		Game shows are little parables of wealth, and 'Millionaire' 's feel-good story is that of the Heroic Individual.
		Ironically, one of the shows 'Greed' replaces in its limited run (through Dec. 9) is 'Action,' the critically praised satire of the movie business that was scoring cable-grade ratings before going on hiatus.

		In their heyday, the prime time game shows of the 1950's regularly captured half of all TV viewers.
		Game shows died out in prime time because they had limited potential.
		The peril of this strategy is that shows with smaller ratings to begin with cannot sustain much audience loss.

		According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a game show is a “television program on which contestants compete for prizes in a game (as a quiz).” The year this definition was entered–1958-- is significant because it was the time of the now infamous quiz show scandals which were, in fact, a coming of age for television entertainment.
		The latest addition to the game show scene (2001), originating in Britain, as did Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, is The Weakest Link, hosted by a stern, red-headed combination of school mistress and dominatrix, Anne Robinson, now a celebrity in her own right.
		Competitive shows that abuse, insult, and embarrass their contestants to the chagrin or amusement of their viewers are not new.

	Greed TV Show - Greed Television Show - TV.com
		Greed is a high-stakes quiz show where five contestants work both as a team and against each other to win a jackpot of up to $2 million by answering multiple-choice and multiple-answer questions.
		In the first level of the game, each of the underling players is asked one question apiece, with the fifth-place player going first; each correct answer raises the pot by $25,000.
		As with the first stage of the game, an incorrect answer at any time not only ends that team\'s chances for the jackpot, but causes everyone to lose all their "Tower of Greed" winnings (anything won through Terminator challenges is kept, however).

		If I do not conceal myself, he may be reminded to write something disagreeable about my lack of a crest or my appetite for scrap- iron; and although he is inexpressibly brilliant when he devotes himself to censure of folly and greed, his dulness is matchless when he transcends the limits of legitimate comment.
		The small grey eyes blinked, the lips moved, with greed; greed was the ruling passion; and though there was some good nature, some genuine kindliness, a true human touch, in the old toper, his greed was now so set afire by hope, that all other traits of character lay dormant.
		But I would not believe, and, dazzled by the greed of avarice, I thought that if one eye could show me riches, the other might teach me how to get possession of them.
