What do you guys think of this show? To me, the questions are way too simple and the adults are way too stupid. Although, lately that has changed a bit.

Am I smarter than a fifth grader? Why yes, I am!

I don't watch insulting shows like this. Don't people realize that sometimes the contestants are told by the producers to get some questions wrong on purpose? It's the same on 1 vs 100...which I'm not sure is even on anymore.

On the other hand....the producers of 1 vs 100 should put me in the mob. They'd never lose any money!

I don't know - probably on a test the average fifth grader does better than me... But I've known people who would have beaten me on a test in fith grade who no longer remember who John Adams is because they don't have to! *coughcoughHEATHcoughchokegagdie*

Dudes, check it out -- for real: every IQ test I've ever done, I've scored as above average intelligence, and I gotta tell you, I get about 9 out of 10 questions wrong on that show. Now I don't know if I'm going senile or what and just forgetting stuff ('20s), but damn, those questions are hard! Seriously. You guys should give it a shot. I think what trips people up is that it's NOT pop culture crap; it's basically stuff A-students in Fifth Grade are supposed to know.

Does this mean you guys have lost respect for me?

I usually score somewhere below functional idiot on the IQ tests, but I do alright on Jepaarrddeeeee!!!!!! I have scene the show in question and I have only missed about 3 questions. I got my degree in drinking and chasing girls, so I don't think it has anything to do with college.

I usually hate gameshows anyway. I got stuck watching it one day and just kinda liked it. Now whenever I stumble across it I stop and watch it all the way through. Once they had this really hot bookkeeper on, who got a question about how to spell bookkeeping wrong. Seriously.

Howard Stern has been doing a really funny version of this for years now. I have never seen the new show.
