The Attraction of ‘Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader’

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Do you remember when you were a kid and you thought to yourself how smart the adults around you were? Well one of the best game shows to come along in a long time is ‘Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader’, hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. This show is one that has something for everyone in the family no matter their age. Now that I’ve found the best cable tv deals I can watch it every day.

The way the game is played is that adults answer a series of questions, the catch to this is that you have a panel of fifth graders who are asked the same question and the contestant can choose to either agree or disagree with the student. What is so amusing is to learn exactly how advanced and intelligent these children truly are. It’s a little shocking sometimes to realize just how much of what we learned in grade school that we have forgotten in our adult lives.

Add to this the homespun humor and charm of Jeff Foxworthy with his jokes and quips coming from his rural, or as he puts it, ‘redneck’, outlook on the situation at hand. This show is one that every member of the family can appreciate and enjoy, no matter what the age. This is also a show that can be used as an opportunity to bring the whole family together for a family night of enjoyable television.
