Fox is one stupid ass network. I only watch Fox for The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, King of the Hill, The Winner, The War at Home, and 24. They had my all time favorite show, Arrested Development. They cancell it becasue they didn't advertise it enough because they were just too focused on f***ing American Idol, The O.C., and the other dumbass reality TV shows. NBC RULES!

To me, this show kinda pointed out the fact that we don't use a lot of the things they teach us in school-no shame in it, Noone goes around quizzing their friends in adult life about something they learned in third grade Yes and no. Sure you don't need to remember the exact date Columbus sailed for the Indies and from where in your everyday life. During a job interview it's not likely you'll be asked when and where the Industrial Revolution took place, or what was the "casus belli" for WWI (and not even what "casus belli" means). BUT for f*** sake it's a bit of GENERAL KNOWLEDGE about our world... and we're talking about 5th grade knowledge, not more "in-depth" erudition. All in all such shows are made to lure the Average Man into thinking he's smarter than he thought he was, while it's clearly a lie. But it's a way to keep the status quo unaltered... [not gettin political here] As Italian former Premier, and TV mogul, Silvio Berlusconi used to say to his network executives: "keep in mind that our audience is mostly made of people who barely finished Junior High/Middle School, and weren't even the brightest of their class..." That's why we watch semi-illitterated guys winning big bucks by answering 3rd grade level questions...

My wife laughed at this show's premise, and then didn't know the answer for half of the questions. Still, just about anyone would be better than that guy that went to USC. That was embarassing.
The only question I was uncertain about was the Columbus Day one. Too bad the show will be cancelled before I can get on it.

Ummmm, no offense, but that's a lot of shows, and one of them hasn't even aired yet.

I'd say that's around the national average.

I think we would all be better served reading a book while this show is on.
