Who Wants to be a Millionaire? (U.S.) - September 27th, 2001

This is Series 6 Episode 4, recorded from Game Show Network in high quality. No copyright infringement is intended.
First episode taped post-9/11. Also, a new intro.

This was exactly nine months before the final episode of old school primetime Millionaire aired, but due to the cutback in the number of episodes in the post-9/11 era, it's probably about two months away on GSN. I'm still having a great time watching all these episodes, I'm excited to see everything that is still to come, and I hope @warosm will be allowed to keep doing what he's doing as his work is much appreciated!

It may be over a month away before the finale (they may not air a lot of those celebrity shows).

Well I’m glad I found this channel that posted Millionaire shows ever since the GameshowChannel mysteriously vanished along with all the gameshows they posted. It’s really sad it’s gone. 😔 But I’m glad you’re keeping up to post the shows for now on.

Don't forget PJ50 (WWTBAMClassics), the true OG who recorded the prime time episodes from the original GSN reruns.

@@glitchedblood By Original GSN reruns, I'm thinking of reruns which used the second logo and consisted of 1999 until January 31, 2001 (the final episode until 2005, as I found out from @OwenMaki a while ago). The reruns on that KZbin channel are from various years of GSN from logo styles three and four, which were used from 2004 to 2015. Within those 11 years the logo totally changed once in late 2008. An example from that channel consists of the November 1999 premiere as rebroadcasted in 2008 (according to the video description). In 2023 there actually were improvements in the sound quality of some snippets of that full game, which was a total surprise. Also, unlike in the past the contestant hotline was shown and uncovered despite that this toll free landline has been inactive for over 20 years. One phone number was used the most often (until just after summer 2001 started).

[@Computerman859]

This full episode was already uploaded by WWTBAMClassics in four parts in spring 2011. There actually was some improvement over the old content. See: 2:09 The first Fastest Finger is now very close to perfect. (Back then, it was another really fast example.) 22:44 Frank uses ask the audience. 24:07 Frank uses phone a friend. (mostly improved)

33:19 I was hoping for more episodes after the newest episode aired last Monday at 9:30 PM. Here's a helpful tip: Any episode prior to 2/24/1997 should use the green/orange color bar theme set because that would blend well with the puzzle board. Later standard definition shows would use the blue bars. I found it odd that some shows were skipped, such as: March 17, 2020 (probably because of viral contestant Christian's last name) April 11, 2018 (Andy Nguyen) May 16, 2019 (Jeremy Swartz) The Disney episodes (I figured since they originally had sweepstakes, along with Secret Santa.) The oldest episode they have is the next to last one from the full calendar year of 2016. Good news, they actually aired the "Teen Best Friends" finale from 2017 (season 34) in March.

Calm down

[@jamesobriant1417]

First episode aired after 9/11

[@wiirareusb8456]

You mean taped right? Cause the second episode of Superstars Edition was aired after 9/11. But all the episodes were taped before 9/11.

[@100canadianmaplestirup8]

LOL WTF i just randomly put this ep on and seen its right after 911 thats twisted man.

[@griffinholahan123]

First episode with the 2001-02 intro! The weird thing is that the guide said Comedy Edition. I guess GSN didn’t agree to do it.

[@Computerman859]

I saw that scheduled for Wednesday according to OnTVTonight. Here's where I think the real weirdness occurred; see 39:47. The episode actually broadcasted Friday, May 10. Back then, a fair edit was made by GSN to end this episode (after Regis said "soon").

[@WhatsOn427]

@@Computerman859 I believe the reason for the weirdness is that GSN is airing the episodes in production order, which is why they circled back to this episode because it was produced after the final sports superstars edition, even though they aired in the reverse order. I think a similar thing is happening the next two weeks - ABC alternated regular episodes on Monday and the comedy edition shows on Thursdays, but because all the comedy edition shows were produced consecutively, Wednesday will begin 5 straight weekdays of comedy edition shows and then the civilian shows from those Mondays will air after that. All the episodes will air they just won't air in the same order they did in 2001, and it really doesn't matter at all because you will still see the celebrity shows all in order and the civilian shows all in order

Last Series of this show

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

how long was millionaire off the air after 9/11?

[@Lupton2000]

First show where Regis wears the American Flag pin on his lapel.

[@andrewflores7359]

Can you upload the millionaire 10/4/01 end credits when it comes on today? Was the Buena Vista TV for the 10/4/01 today had the purple globe and dark blackground (1999-2004) or the Buena Vista TV blue globe white background?

I tell ya, this guy's boncos! He really is!

[@glitchedblood]

This is where I think Primetime went downhill.

[@Computerman859]

Not with six figure winners still on deck this time around

[@winser21]

Why?
