Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

January 22, 2007

Fox has announced plans to produce a new game show wherein contestants prove not how smart they are, but how dumb.

Fox said that the show, bluntly titled, ''Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?'' will air sometime later this year, perhaps as early as the spring.

Adults will compete in a quiz based on questions from elementary school textbooks. Actual elementary school students will be on hand as ''experts'' for the adults to consult with.

Fox won a competition with other networks to buy the idea from Mark Burnett, executive producer of ''Survivor,'' perhaps because Liguori - not too modestly - said he was the only chief network television executive to answer all six questions from the show correctly.

I love the show and never miss it. So far a few have come close to taking the million dollars. Sign me up as a contestant and I will be the first one to not have to proclaim "I'm not smarter than a fifth grader"

Thanks, David
