"WWTBAM" on ABC again!?!?

So AMAZING news! "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" is coming back on ABC this summer in a supposed one-time only event. Almost 9 years to the date of it's debut during the summer of 1999, "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" is going to for two weeks in August with Regis actually hosting!!! The question i have is this: what format will be presented in this primetime version? Will it be the original U.S. "WWTBAM," complete with the 50/50 lifeline and no time limit or will it be the current syndicated "Millionaire"'s format, complete with no 50/50, new lifelines Ask the Expert and Double Dip, and :15/:30/:45 time limits for the questions? Will the phone qualifying system also be used this time around since it was used the original time? Will it even be taped in New York (HOPEFULLY!)? No one really knows. BUt, no matter what format they use, "Millionaire" in primetime is some of the most exciting news in game shows in a long, long time. There have been talks since January of this year of an anniversary special. There's been talks of a primetime revival since the end of "Super Millionaire" in 2004. Who knows how awesome it will be? Will the show be super successful? Will they have added bonuses like "Deal or No Deal" seems to have sometimes? Will it be liked considering there is a whole new generation of young people that were in single-digit ages or just not born when the original premiered (I feel old saying that)? Who knows? But watch in August to see what happens!
