I wish ABC would just put a sock in it and leave Adam alone! He did nothing wrong to deserve this!!!

Ah, Friends and Grey's Anatomy, the two things on that list I'm actually proud to have watched.

I was in undergrad when Joe Millionare was on and we used to get together in a big group to watch it. It was seriously hilarious. BUT like Nick, I now blame it for all of the horrible dating shows... TVA -- I think if it hadn't been for Joe, everyone would have forgotten about the Multimillionare idiocy.

Nick,

I will argue that WHO WANTS TO MARRY A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE (Feb 13, 2000) really opened those floodgates. Sadly 22 million people watched that two-hour broadcast.
Nick

Joe was gross. And that decrepit show opened the floodgates for the most inane reality crap imaginable. Thanks a lot, Fox.

You have nothing to be proud of. The finale to JOE MILLIONAIRE was true train wreck television. I look back on it with fond memories :)

For the record: JOE MILLIONAIRE was the one episode I am proud to have not seen.

I don't really understand why ABC is being so conservative about the Lambert incident.

I think I've seen 8 of the 10 TV episodes. Joe Millionaire had ratings that high? Really? Never watched it.
