Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?

What do you guys think about this show? I think I end up feeling pretty dumb by the time the show is over! I think Jeff Foxworthy does a great job of hosting the program.

I love the show for many reasons. It asks simple questions and puts up lots of money for the answers. While, the contestants do not actually compete against the kids, it is still an exciting show to watch, especially with Jeff Foxworthy's witty comments.

My one problem with it, is how they reveal the answer, there is no suspense. Foxworthy basically just tells the people if they got it correct or not. What they should do is look to the big board, which would reveal the answer after a few seconds of frustrating hesitation.

Also, the kids must get some notes to study before every show, because there is no way they know that stuff from school. Some of it requires calculations that little kids cannot do in their head, but they are knocking it out in a matter of seconds.

I think you had some great ideas for improving this show. I like the way that there are various categories to choose from and that there is the ability to win such a huge jackpot. That kind of cash could really change someone's life.

Anyone ever known someone personally who has been on a game show?

I don't know anyone, but I wonder if there is something more to being picked than just signing up. I heard that for "The Price is Right," they go out to the crowd waiting to get in, and just watch them. The ones that seem to be most animated are the ones that get picked to be on the show.
