I loved this British Import; Game show. I watched it faithfully for the brief time in which it was on the air. The night time version, which aired from April 2001 to July 2002, featured British host Anne Robinson. I loved Anne's demeanor, stern expressionless face and no nonsense way of insulting the contestants (very much the female forerunner of American Idol's Simon Cowell).
I never really cared for the Daytime syndicated version of the Weakest Link. In the daytime version, American Host George Gray, though cute, never had the flair or wit that Original Prime time host Anne Robinson had.
every now and then I love to watch reruns of the Prime time version of The weakest Link on cable's GSN Network.

I was actually going to apologise for us Brits exporting Anne to your shores.
Never fear, the Weakest Link is still being shown over here from 17:15 (just right for tea-time) and Anne is being as insulting as usual.
I am surprised that it hasn't been used as a filler for BBC America.

Here is Anne Robinson... I believe that the GSN cable network has the monopoly on airing The Weakest Link. but admit... You just gotta Love Anne after all what Anne started...Simon Cowell perfected! LOL

Ah, you've gotta love Anne. She's not that evil in real life, hehe.
But I've alwyas wondered why these people don't try and get on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, because they've got more chances of getting more money... And these people sign up for the show, they should be prepared for Anne! It's their own fault if they take it too seriously, hehe.

My mom had an easter egg a few years ago with a dooberry-thingy in that when you press the button it played "You are the weakest link goodbye!".
I think my favourite ever edition was when the opening answers were all "bank", every single solitary question. The contestants looked dumbfounded and yes, still got the answers wrong!
