Technically, "San Francisco" is incorrect. The Jelly Belly factory is in Fairfield, CA, which is a good 30 miles north of San Francisco. I guess for the purposes of the show, SF is an acceptable answer, but I really hate these kinds of technical inaccuracies.

Also, what's up, StaminaMan? Finally found a place to dump your collection?

[RandomManA]

Yeah, I did. There's still more to put up, but I'm lazy.

And actually, it's not Jelly Belly -- it's Ghirardelli. Though I can see how easy it would be to make that mistake. He's referring to the chocolate factory, which I believe IS in San Fran. But I'm amazed you knew that about Jelly Belly. Big fan of the J-beans, Al?

She had the pit stop, shoulda used it, woulda won a million.

For $1,000,000 here's your first subjec....er...first question

[bluebear1985]

@gameshowguy2000 There was also The Chair with John McEnroe, but that only had a $250,000 top prize. He hosted the UK version as well, which had a lower top prize. The UK had Greed for a while as well, with Jerry Springer as host.

@wschmrdr Was just thinking the same thing because should would have had 18 seconds in reality with the pit stop.

@gameshowguy2000 I don't know the exact number, but I think I remember watching at least 4 people winning a trip around the world, if not more (I was quite the fan of Winning Lines)

She panicked... she knew it and she forgot she still had a pit stop!

@mtiller2006

Nope, I just Wiki-ed it, and BMW stands for Bavarian Motor Works, so the correct answer on that passed question was #44-Bavarian.

If this show were on a different night or an hour long, it probably would've lasted longer.

This show was really great. It had somewhat challenging questions, but not too many questions, nor were they phrased too academically like other million dollar shows. The big downfall of course was how easy it is to lose and not make the wonderwall. In the US games in which everybody has more of a chance are more popular. I personally like this format, but it's perfectly understandable how it didn't succeed with the general population.

[gameshowguy2000]

6-San Francisco.

[gameshowguy2000]

Answer to that question was #6-San Francisco.

[gameshowguy2000]

I think the reason the US version used a million dollar jackpot was to compete against Millionaire at the time. There were other million dollar game shows at that time (Greed, 21, It's Your Chance of a Lifetime, and Paranoia) that all competed against Millionaire. Winning Lines was the first to bite the dust.
