Who watches it? Anne Robinson hosts both the US and UK versions! It gets pretty exciting. I've got the UK PC game, though I do wish I could play the US edition also - the voices sound new and exciting.

I used to watch it when it was on here. I do have an old game for the PlayStation (1), and it's a miracle that it still works perfectly! I used to love that show.

Well I still love this show. After 10 years, the Queen of Mean is still doing her job well. Also I think Paul Farrer did an amazing job composing the music.

Paul Farrer apparently did, because he gets £5,000 every time the music was used for a show here in America. It's £1,250 for the UK.

Come to think of it, is it still going in the USA?

No, NBC cancelled it in 2002, when it became syndicated, just to be finally cancelled in 2003. It lost with syndie Millionaire.

I believe it died here in the States. It ran for a while on NBC, then it went syndicated, then GSN picked it up, and now its gone. GSN might still show it every once in a while, I don't remember exactly.
America has no taste in entertainment, IMO. 99% of TV here is reality or crime drama (see CBS). Once in a while, a great show comes around (Millionaire, Deal or No Deal, Weakest Link), but then the networks exploit the ratings by making it a 5-night-per-week deal, which makes everyone sick of the show and ruins it. It's sad, really. I don't know if this happens in other markets but it frustrates me.

Actually, I still have the PC game for it, and in perfect condition.
But, I agree with leimeisei, what he said seems to be true. I don't see why they don't bring back some of the syndicated game shows and see how the ratings do. For example, they could bring back Deal or No Deal and Millionaire easily, and it could be a great show.

The first ever episode was on on BBC1 just now! Which has given me a brilliant idea!
