Last December, FOX aired Secret Millionaire — a reality show about wealthy people who go undercover, looking for worthy people to award money to in distressed areas.
Though a version has been running successfully in the UK for four cycles, the series wasn’t a ratings winner in the US. FOX cancelled it after a six episode run.
Apparently ABC believes that they can do a better job with it. The Hollywood Reporter has reported that the alphabet network has picked up the show for six episodes. It’s believed that it will be a better fit for ABC whose reality shows tend to have a more positive angle.
What do you think? Are you more likely to watch a show like Secret Millionaire on ABC than on FOX? Does the network make that much of a difference?

Is it possible to get any kind of professional assistance on the production of the show,we could be very happy to get any person from Fox or ABC, to provide me with contacts.
YE-AH. WAT SHE SAYD.
I absolutely loved this show! I’ve watched all 6 episodes and I had tears in my eyes at the end for all of them. It’s about time, that finally there is a show that is positive. We need more TV shows like that one. I’m looking forward to watching it on ABC.
HOW DO YOU SUBMIT A RECOMENDATION FOR THE SHOW? I am sure the story I have to tell would effect many. Please provide any info appropriate to honest, real life ,heart breaking stories only. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Stumbled onto this show (reruns) on Fox while channel surfing yesterday. It’s AWESOME! Don’t know why Fox didn’t do a better job of promoting such an inspiring show, but we’ll be looking forward to seeing it on ABC.
If ever there was a time for some inspiring tv – something that shows -people giving something back, NOW is the time! I know a few kids with “entitlement issues” who’d benefit from watching this show!
It’s On FOX Reality Channel 250 On DirecTV It Was On This Morning
@Peter: Those are reruns, I believe.
I LOVED THE SHOW! I WOULD LIKE IT TO COME BACK WEATHER ITS ON ABC OR FOX
It was a great show – True (not to mention rich) Americans showing real patriotism is giving to those in need.
the show will do great on ABC! Hope It Survives This Time!
If a show stinx, people won’t watch it regardless of the net it’s on. And that show STINX.
No wonder ABC has had so many flops lately. And raiding another net’s garbage can isn’t gonna help them, either. Are they gonna dip into the CW’s cemetery next?
Can’t they come up with enough ORIGINAL programming?
I actually enjoyed this reality series and am glad to read it will return. FOX was not the bext but with ABC, I think it might be a hit. Welcome back Secret Millionaire.
