I've looked through a few sites, but I can't find find whether Survivor or Who Wants to be a Millionair came first.

I need this info for an essay I'm writing. I'd appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks.

In this country, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire by at least a year. I'm not sure about the UK, though. (Isn't Survivor another English show we "stole"?)

I have no actually documents to back this up but I remember watching Millionaire in late '99 and Survivor didn't debut until Summer 2000.

So, Millionaire came first, Survivor second.

Hope I could help.

I think Millionare came first too, but try imdb.com... it should have info on tv shows.

Survivor - May 31, 2000 (Filmed March 13)

Who Wants TBAM - Sometime in Sept 1999



Ever since The Rock came into town
Everyone's tried to bring him down
Canadians have no class
That's why they can kiss The People's Ass.


The Rock is bigger than Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks
But yet he's got to deal with these Long Island skanks!
He'll whip Austin's ass you know
And that's the bottom line cause the Rock sa-i-d so!

Yes, Millionaire debuted originally as a special event for sweeps and was so insanely popular they brought it back for another month or two before pulling the trigger on an extended run.

Survivor was about a year or so after.

No idea on the British versions.

According to the Internet Movie Database....

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was first in 1998, while Survivor (under a different, stranger name) was second in 1999.

Rockin'.

Millionaire came way before Survivor over here. I'm pretty sure we exported Millionaire to you and vice versa with Survivor.

If its of any impotance to you, Survivor bombed quite horribly. Astoundingly not many people tuned in to see a bunch of middle class men with ridiculously overgrown facial hair standing on a log for over 24 hours. Odd that.

Millionaire on the other hand still does pretty well, but its getting kinda tired. Ratings were also hurt by the fact that when somebody finally did win the million it was someone who didnt really need the money rather than the Mr Ordinary they were doubtless hoping for.
