CBS has announced that its’ Password remake will return to the airwaves later this month. Will host Regis Philbin and the game show be back next season?
Million Dollar Password premiered on June 1, 2008 to 10.69 million viewers. The ratings dropped a bit after that but CBS still ordered six additional episodes for the 2008-09 season. Year two kicked off in December and the show hadn’t lost any steam.
Still, the network pulled the show after only four of the six had aired. While the overall viewership was still strong, the audience does tend to skew older. The network typically attracts an older demographic and is always looking to shift towards younger viewers that are more attractive to advertisers.
