	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.

	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.
