Million Dollar Money DropIn hopes of launching a successful game show, the result came to nothing for FOX: Million Dollar Money Drop may queue in the list of flops in 2010/2011. On Thursday, the game show freshman fell to an all-time low in adults 18-49 with 4.86 million viewers and a 1.5/5 in the demo. Slowly but surely, Million Dollar Money Drop arrives its absolute limit on FOX.

Repeats of The Big Bang Theory (8.37 million viewers; A18-49: 1.9/7), $#*!

Finally, CBS placed first in total viewers and shared second place with FOX in adults 18-49.

    OMG, it is not a legal decision that should be considered it is a MORAL one that should be considered!!! That couple won fair and square and the game show should honor this!!!! I have not ever watched this show and if they do not HONOR this win I will never watch it and maybe even the whole network that would keep such a dishonest show on their network!!!!! Only time will tell!!!
