I don't remember when I first watched Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, TV's top-rated show for the year, but it was definitely somewhere in that first season. I went back to watch the premiere episode from August 19th and was happy to have a chance to check back in with DailyMotion and see that it's still doing just fine.
This recording also came with the commercials intact, and even though it was a fairly disappointing spread filled mostly with McDonald's and KFC ads, it's still a treat.
I'd forgotten about the Price is Right-esque showdown to even get into the hot seat - or did that part eventually disappear? What really matters is that I nailed both showdown questions; I should have timed myself to see if I'd have made it.
I remember watching fairly regularly, waiting for that seemingly, probably, maybe inevitable moment when someone would actually win ... and I missed it. At least I missed seeing it live.
It didn't even take that long before John Carpenter won the first million dollar prize three months later on November 19th, but apparently I'd lost interest before then. Most people didn't, of course.
If you haven't seen the winning moment, by the way, it's well worth checking out: https://youtu.be/WvilG74MdeE
