    Million Dollar Password was really good. I never really liked the original much but the lightning fast pace of this makes it so much better.

  2. Denise, In Plain Sight had 5.25 million viewers last night.(2.3 million 18-49)

    I'm not sure if you would get these, but do you know how In Plain Sight did for USA last night?

  5. Denise, we don't get them via the overnights, but we might come across them through other channels or if it's in the weekly cable top 40. I'm guessing it will be, and if it is we will hopefully have it no later than tomorrow w/the weekly results.

    I agree I really enjoyed Million Dollar Password, I heard a rumor that Betty White is going to be a contestant in weeks to come. I can't wait!!! Thank you CBS for bringing back a game show I know and love!!
