From Thomas E – Mr. Pop – What TV channel was once “Your James Bond Destination Station?”

Mr. Pop History – And, uttered ever so brilliantly by John Cleese. It was TBS and this was from 1999. Great promos! This was back when TBS had all the James Bond movies and would often run marathons. cleese

From Sonja T – “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” w/Regis Philbin was off the air for a few years, then came back?

Mr. Pop History – Yes. The original debuted in 1999 and was thoroughly burnt out by its 2002 cancellation. But wait: ABC needed another idea. Two years later – it upped the ante to $10 million, and brought back Regis in “Super Millionaire” – and succeeded in burning that one out quickly.
