Why Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? might be annoying:

    In the Celebrity Editions, the audience was allowed to yell out the answers to each question up to and including the $32K level.
    It lost popularity in the U.S. after the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks.
    Its suspense of the show was eliminated with all contestants virtually guaranteed to walk away with at least $32K.

Why Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? might not be annoying:

    The network version became explosively popular in the 1999-2000 season.
    The 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire - Play It!' is an attraction at the Disney-MGM Studios in Florida and in Disney's California Adventure in California.
