The show was then cancelled two days later by Fox after rating poorly in comparison to its slot competitors, Lost (on ABC) and CBS's Criminal Minds.

It featured competitors making lists of things, such as ABBA songs or Steven Spielberg movies, with the winning team being the one that could name the most.

Despite its failure, two and a half years later, a revised version aired on GSN under the title The Money List, with Fred Roggin hosting.

He would announce the category for the list, such as "Tom Cruise Movies" or "Top 50 Broadway Shows of All Time", and the teams would take turns bidding on how many they thought they could name.
