(4,858 posts)...Some old guy with a name I've forgotten--it was very Waspish--gives a random stranger one million dollars every week, and the show explored how they reacted to their good fortune. As I recall, not many of them reacted all that well...

(115,267 posts)In those days a million dollars was wealth beyond imagining - it's not exactly pocket change for most people now, but it was crazy wealth back in the '50s. Many episodes showed people handling that money rather badly, sort of like IRL lottery winners - a lot of whom are broke within 5 years.
