I guess I should give my two cents about this. The show is soooooooo paaaaiiinnnnffuuuullllyyyyyy sllllloooooooooowwwwwwwwwww that I had to wait for the show to appear on Hulu so I can skip 2/3 of the banter and the forced drama that seems to be everpresent in Fox's Quiz Shows like 5th Grader, Don't Forget The Lyrics, and you could go all the way back to Greed to see this, especially when they reached the $200,000 Levels on. But honestly, 7 questions in the span of 1 hour is unexcusable. Hell, at least 5th Grader back in the day had more questions answered than this show. Kevin Pollak is ok, but that's about as far as I'm going to go with him. The contestants were from Central Casting and are worse than your stereotypical Deal or No Deal contestant. Either Way, I would not reccomend watching this show. That's my cliff- notes take on this show.
And as for that being Dumb Answer of the Week Material, that was a FOX mess-up, so it doesn't qualify. I'd rather you guys go to GSN and watch 1 Vs. 100, despite a sub-par host in Carrie Ann Inaba (however, she's getting a little bit better), or in March when Drew Carey's Improv-a-ganza airs.

Why do all gameshows look exactly like Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Futuristic black set decked out with neon, flashing lights, ominous suspenceful music. Really, Millionaire, Minute to Win It, Fifth Grader, Deal or No Deal, Money Drop etc..every gameshow from this century has that same look. Will somebody please bring back the tacky-ness.

It's a decent show concept, but it's so painfully slow I can't watch it. I tried to watch some last night and it was just horrible, they should be able to get through like 3 couples in an hour

And I thought Moment of Truth was the slowest "Five minutes of material stretched out to an hour" game show ever.

Lots of seemingly staged banter. The contestants seem unnatural and coached. It is as if they are paid actors.....or at least everything is scripted.... He knows too much... GET HIM GERALDO!!!!!
