Never heard of it- is it a movie or TV show?

SECRET MILLIONAIRE is a dramatic unscripted series that takes viewers out of their comfort zones and into the heart of America's social issues.

Each week, one of the wealthiest Americans, worth millions of dollars, will go undercover into one of the most impoverished and dangerous towns in America. Their job is to spend one week canvassing the town - meeting as many people as possible - some of whom will touch the millionaire with their dedication to helping others while others will have incredible stories of trying to overcome tremendous odds. On the final day, the Secret Millionaire meets with the chosen recipients and reveals his/her true identity and intentions - to give them a sum of money that is going to change their lives forever.

SECRET MILLIONAIRE will engage viewers in important social issues, extol the virtues of volunteerism and change the lives of disadvantaged people - and the philanthropists who helped them - in unexpected ways.

Yeah i was hesitant at first because I'm a little tired of reality shows and the like but watched it and wow, it seriously makes you think about how lucky we are to even have a bed to wake up on in the morning.

Its on Wednesday nights at 7 central time i believe.

the millionaires have to give them at LEAST $100,000. Some distribute the $100,000 evenly, other's gave each $100,000. Plus gifts on top of that.

Not sure if I'm crying because it's such a great show,

or because I wish I had a million dollars to give to someone,

or because I wish someone would give me a million dollars.

On another note...

Just shot some scenes in a 7 million dollar home nearby.

Real estate taxes are around 1%.....$74,000.000 a year.

You don't even wanna know about the utility bills.

You have me cracking up...

I did not have a chance to watch but it did look like a very touching show. When they handed the man the check that was priceless! But Ling Ling I'm like you maybe I wish someone would give me a million dollars too lol

But I think it is great to see someone helping others in need!!!
