This program stimulates curiosity and discourse. The subjects are varied and draw on a broad range of topics. Some hopelessly simple, others difficult, some silly, some serious. A Millionaire Second Edition has broad appeal to all ages. Obviously the more you know, the more fun it is.
Children enjoy it but tire of the pregnant pauses and dialogue when by themselves.
They enjoy the interactive quality of participating with a group. Part of the allure of this game show is how it invites you to react - to Regis, the questions, the participants, the dialogues. It is more engaging when done with an audience - or in this case with friends or in a group. Regis's dialogue gets a little tedious when you have no one with whom to share it. This is wholesome family entertainment or a good group activity for kids.
