I agree with RyanZ on this one. I think Super Millionaire would feel like 'ordinary' millionaire after some time. I mean, I'd be great for the contestants and it's of course much more serious when millions of dollars are at stake but basically, it's still millionaire, and we all saw what happened when ABC thought they could broadcast it five times a week. In my opinion, making it an annual event would be far better. It'd make people really look forward to it, which is of course great for the ratings. And think about the production company! If they had to give away millions of dollars each week they'd have to file for bankruptcy after some weeks Concerning the clock, I think a time limit of 1 - 5 minutes per question (depending on the difficulty of the question) would be very good. The clock helps the dynamics of the game.

Regis' announcement that he will be leaving his morning show got me thinking about "Super Millionaire" again. Now that Regis won't be on television every morning, I wonder if ABC will go back to thinking of Millionaire with Regis as being event television. Although it's extremely unlikely that "Super Millionaire" will return as it was, I wonder if we'll be seeing any sort of "Millionaire" primetime events made in its image. I still think that a ten million dollar jackpot, coupled with Regis' newfound (or re-found!) hot commodity status, could be a ratings success for ABC.

While leaving the morning show would certainly free up some time for him to do this, isn't it more likely that Regis is actually retiring? Even if they offer him the gig, there's probably a decent chance he won't take it. Granted I'd love to be wrong, but that's what it seems like to me.

Regis has the most hours on TV, i believe, so why quit now right?
