I hate slow-paced game shows, that's why I was never a fan of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. I can see why a Jeopardy fan wouldn't like Millionaire. But I always liked both. Yeah, Millionaire could get tedious in the early questions, especially when a contestant would spend five minutes breaking down a question like "Which of these are you most likely to see at a zoo?" But as the questions got harder it gave each question a chance to breathe. Kind of like the difference between sipping a glass of wine and chugging a bottle.

So if you haven't already rewatched the 2011 ToC that's on there now (with Roger Craig's famous back-to-back True Daily Doubles), better do it quick! I would most hope for Netflix to have BoD on, but since they've already had that one before apparently (I missed it like a dolt), it's not likely. And All Stars is probably too new.
