Worst game show ever?
Monday Mar 05, 2007
Has anybody sat through more than 15 minutes of "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?"
Initially the premise sounds great... Point out all the things that you learned in school but forgot because you never use it.
The problem is execution. They need to have 10 times the number of questions, it takes them 7 minutes to get through "How many parallel sides does a trapezoid have?"
I can't stand the the manufactured suspense and the usually hilarious Foxworthy is pretty dull.
Usually the thing on my mind when I see programs like these is that the contestants were cleverly picked and coached to create a specific show. In this case they've definitely found some batty folks with tons of self doubt.
When will the "let's find the biggest morons that we can find and laugh at them" phase of TV programming come to an end?
