 New York Daily News - Entertainment - David Bianculli: 'Super' is the same, but better
Having admitted that it overexposed "Millionaire" to the point of absurdity, and disaster, ABC executives are back to presenting the program the way it began: as a week-long series of specials, and with a bigger cash prize and two new lifelines to jazz things up a bit.
The "Double Dip" addition merely allows the contestant to guess wrong once without penalty, while the Three Wise Men weren't nearly as impressive, or all-knowing, as the 10-year-old spelling champion who could be called upon for help on Fox's "Celebrity Spelling Bee" specials.
Now, with some time off for dozens of other competitive reality shows to surface in prime time, and with a new wrinkle or two, "Super Millionaire" will satisfy viewers who tune in - but getting them to do that is the toughest game of all.

NEW YORK - Almost two years after the prime-time Who Wants to Be a Millionaire died from overuse, ABC will bring the game - and Regis Philbin - back next month in a sweeps month stunt with a $10-million payoff.
Philbin is "part of the appeal of the show, and when you add these new things to amp up the format it will be a perfect combination of familiarity and something new and different at the same time," Braun said.
The value of the show's easiest question will jump to $1,000 and the 15th and final question will similarly be worth 10 times what it was in the show's initial incarnation, said Lloyd Braun, ABC entertainment chairman.

 Zap2it - TV news - Regis and Co. Hope to Keep Limits on 'Super Millionaire'
The questions on "Super Millionaire," particularly the first few, will most likely be a little more difficult than in other versions of the game.
"Millionaire" came to the United States as a series of short-term events in 1999, and its phenomenal success led ABC to turn it into a weekly series.
Philbin believes the appeal of game shows like "Millionaire" lies in the escalating tension as contestants reach higher prize levels, and some of that tension is lost in a weekly series.
