"Million Dollar Password"??? We'd Settle For "Bus Fare Password"

Password is coming back? Really? What is this, an acid flashback to 1963? Or 1973? or 1987? Or earlier this year, before the economy totally cratered? Seriously, won't this show ever die? These are different, tougher times, shouldn't we have a different, tougher game show? Like Let's Get A Job?

And they're playing for a million dollars? In this economy? Guess so, since it's Million Dollar Password in this, the second season, hosted by Regis Philbin and premiering Thursday the 18th at 8PM with perennial Remote Crush Aisha Tyler and the Great William Shatner -- yep, just going right on like this financial collapse never happened, tossing money around willy-nilly. What, CBS didn't have any money in the market?

Full disclousre, though: if Reege manages to get contestants like Rajeev Vindaloo, we're so there. The answer, always, is "chocolate babies."
