Except for Celebrity Millionaire and some episodes of Super Millionaire, this is a TV-G rated show. Millionaire really is the best game show ever. It celebrates the importance of having a good education, you don't have to worry about inappropriate content and you can watch it safely with your whole family. Product placement is only a minor issue since AT&T and Skype are mentioned in both the network and syndicated versions. Except for Wipeout, ABC has not had a successful game show since the 2004 Super Millionaire finale. Please watch the new revival of Millionaire on Sundays-Thursdays @ 8/7c for two weeks beginning August 9th on ABC. If ratings are good enough, ABC will probably order more episodes.

What Parents Need to Know
About Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
Parents need to know that this game show is a worry-free option for families with tweens and up. There’s nothing about its content that's likely to concern parents aside from a few well-placed plugs for show sponsors, and the quiz-style format makes for fun play-along viewing. As with any contest, there’s the potential for some risk-taking and the possibility that a participant’s greed could result in the loss of winnings, but overall it’s good, family-friendly entertainment that rewards well-rounded knowledge.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about taking risks. How do you weigh the pros and cons of taking risks? Are you generally a risk-taker, or do you like to play things safe? What would you have done in a particular contestant’s position? When in your own life has taking a risk paid off?
- How does the media market products? What, if any, product placement did you notice in this show? What benefits do show sponsors receive? Do you change your buying habits based on what you see on TV?
- If you won a large sum of money, what would you do with it? How would your actions pay off in the long run?

My favorite game show of all time~
There are no other reviews for Millionaire?! It's incredibly fun to watch (I've been watching it since I was five) and I love to play along. I watch the original host, Regis Philbin, do the show at 11pm every night on GSN. (Meredith Veira (sp?) is good too) It's completely fine to watch with any age kid, although they may not be able to answer many questions, it's still thrilling to watch. (I thought it was even when I was 5)
