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

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.

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

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.

Whether you agree with Moore's views or not, you can't deny that a whole lot of people are going to see this Farenheight 911 movie out of sheer morbid curiosity.
