That movie didn't become a series, the 1960s series became the Harrison Ford movie, and the 2000s series was a remake.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2017 4:37 pmHarrison Ford movie 1993.

In the context of the clue, "became" means "was remade as." The 1960s TV show became (was remade as) the movie with Harrison Ford, which then became (was remade as) the TV show with Tim Daly.triviawayne wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2017 6:09 pmThat movie didn't become a series, the 1960s series became the Harrison Ford movie, and the 2000s series was a remake.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2017 4:37 pmHarrison Ford movie 1993.

Re: Millionaire 2017-18 Season Discussion [SPOILERS]
The 2002 series (I actually watched a few episodes of it...meh) wasn't a remake of the movie though. It and the movie were both remakes of the '60s show. The movie didn't "become" a TV show because it already was. Friday Night Lights wasn't, Buffy wasn't, Fame wasn't.
Put it this way: Miami Vice was an '80s TV show. It then "became" a 2006 movie. News came down in August that there's a rebooted TV show in the works that might premiere next season (god why). If it does, would you honestly describe it as a remake of the movie?

Re: Millionaire 2017-18 Season Discussion [SPOILERS]
I'd say the 2002 series was a remake of both, but get that not everyone (or anyone) agrees. The Miami Vice example is interesting. If it had been a huge, Oscar winning hit like the Fugitive, then I'd be inclined to see the new series as a remake of both.xxaaaxx wrote: ↑Sun Oct 01, 2017 9:24 amThe 2002 series (I actually watched a few episodes of it...meh) wasn't a remake of the movie though.

Apples and oranges. Obviously the artist that writes and performs the original will usually be the one most associated with it.

Re: Millionaire 2017-18 Season Discussion [SPOILERS]
The record speed of a golf ball is no longer 217mph. While it was obvious the answer could not have been any of the other three, had the contestant missed it he could have good reason for protest. As it played out, he had to use the 50/50 which certainly could have changed how the final question played out.
After some cursory checking, it appears as Guinness still has 217 as the record, but at the long drive finals the last few years (which have been aired nationally live) this number has been surpassed more than once. And the measuring device would have been Trackman on all occasions. And I don't believe the question mentioned Guinness at all.
Just another case of a really crappy question in a show now filled with them that used to have really solid material.

Yes, that was fun and entertaining. Here is some more about it.ElendilPickle wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2017 1:55 pm I am thoroughly enjoying Leslie Shannon's game today.
Leslie Shannon is another for the J! to Millionaire path:
Spoiler
$10,000
Leslie had all of her lifelines remaining.
Leslie had all of her lifelines remaining.
Spoiler
Leslie knew enough about states joining when to lock in 48-star.
Spoiler
$20,000
Spoiler
Leslie was familiar enough with colors in all three candies to know orange & yellow without using a lifeline.
Spoiler
$30,000
Spoiler
Leslie had backpacking experiences in Europe to be quite sure it was Dublin.
Spoiler
$50,000
Spoiler
Leslie brought down her +1 friend and they decided to use the 50:50 and it left A & D.
Spoiler
They had Home Alone pegged for 1990/91 and Culkin about 10 at the time. They thought J-Law was 25 (she's 27) and that Paquin (she's 35) had to be older.
Spoiler
Leslie was correct with A: Culkin (37) & Gosling (36)
Spoiler
Spoiler
Since it was a free guess Leslie decided not to use the ATA.
Spoiler
Leslie narrowed it down to tulips & apples and thought an apple would not have "Bloody" in its name. Tulips final answer.
Spoiler
The show ended with Leslie leaving with $50,000.
