Show Me the Money
Show Me the Money (Courtesy Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Show Me the Money was a television game show hosted by former Star Trek actor William Shatner, which premiered in its regular one-hour time slot on Wednesday, November 22, 2006 at 8pm ET on ABC. The show also aired in Canada on CH. An additional six-episode order, as well as a planned move to Tuesday nights starting on January 2, 2007 was made public on December 8, 2006 but the show was cancelled outright on December 15, 2006. The show took its title from the catch phrase in the film Jerry Maguire.The show was taped at CBS Television City in Hollywood.
Game play
Before the game, scrolls were distributed randomly to thirteen female dancers known as the $1,000,000 Dancers. These scrolls show 12 different dollar amounts and a symbol representing the "killer card". The dollar amounts were:$20,000 | $40,000 | $60,000 | $80,000 |
$100,000 | $120,000 | $140,000 | $160,000 |
$180,000 | $200,000 | $220,000 | $250,000 |
When the player had given either six correct answers (shown as plus signs on the scoreboard) or six wrong answers (minus signs), each for a dollar amount (killer-card turns were not counted), the game ended and the player won the total in the pot. Thus, the maximum win was the total of the six highest dollar amounts, or $1,150,000 U.S. The game could also end prematurely if the pot fell so far below zero that it could not become positive given the possible number of correct answers and dollar values remaining; this occurred at least once.
"Killer Card"
If the Killer Card was revealed, a "sudden-death" question was asked (with no option to pass). On the premiere episode only, only an incorrect answer on a regular question when the Killer Card was revealed would cause the player to face Sudden Death. The player had to answer correctly or else the game ended at once and the player won nothing. A correct answer on the sudden-death question, if asked, allowed the player to continue to the next turn with the pot unchanged. All the plus signs remained intact.Everyone who picked the Killer Card did so on an incorrect answer, and none of them were able to answer the sudden-death question.
Cancellation
Due to continually declining ratings, ABC cancelled the series, replacing it with repeats of America's Funniest Home Videos. ABC had originally decided to cease production of the series, but keep the remaining unseen shows on the schedule.Show Me the Money on GSN
GSN picked up the rights to the seven episodes of Show Me The Money in June 2007, which included the five that aired on ABC, plus the remaining two episodes that the network did not air.The first episode aired on June 12 and the second episode aired on June 19. However, on June 26, GSN replaced the series with an episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. It is known that GSN pulled the show due to low ratings for the first 2 weeks and has been replaced by Dog Eat Dog on Tuesday nights in July. GSN is not expected to bring back the episodes of the game show on the schedule in the forseeable future.
