Why is who wants to be a millionaire so popular?
Introduction
There are many different types of games shows on the TV. The most popular one is 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' although there are other varieties, like 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?', 'Shooting Stars', and 'The Weakest Link'. People enjoy game shows and quiz shows because of the chance of winning and prizes if they get on it, also to see if they can answer the questions. The different shows can be categorised into groups. If they cover sport, then it would be a sports quiz show, and if they are funny they would be a comedy quiz show. With serious quiz shows like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and The Weakest Link, the contestants are usually ordinary people. Only a few times do they have celebrities on the show, and even then the money they win goes to charity. The more light hearted shows, like Shooting Stars, have just celebrities as contestants and they don't win money, but they do some times win miscellaneous items and points. These shows are mainly for entertainment of the viewer rather than that of cash prizes or materialistic value.
