Reverend Jax Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 The second in a three part series, Game Show Poll Part 2 will cover Modern Era Game Shows aimed at adult audiences. 'Modern Era' is defined by me as Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and after, as that show kick started the modern game show renaissance. By 'adult', I don't mean pornographic, just that it's not marketed to kids (that'll be another poll). I choose the shows that made the cut based no my subjective choice, but I used this list, to make sure I was not forgetting any worthy contenders. As is par for the course, American bias abounds.

Aartemys Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader...again, the trivia. Things that I know I know, but I just can't put my finger on it...another one I'd most likely like to participate in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 I think 5th Grader is brilliant. Truly a show that both kids and adults and both enjoy and benefits from. I know most of the answers, and I would like to participate in this one myself. And Foxworthy is a funny guy. The host can often make or break these shows.

alive she cried Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 ok most of these i've seen, though they're the uk versions although i'm pretty sure in a few cases the uk versions are originals. i went with millionaire, was a good show with tough questions (the uk version was harder then the us aparently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 i went with millionaire, was a good show with tough questions (the uk version was harder then the us aparently) But both are still harder than the French version. I know The Weakest Link is a UK original, I don't know about the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 But both are still harder than the French version. that has the biggest collective display of retardation, i've ever seen 1. the question is at the mid stage somehow, instead of being the first question 2. he does'nt know 3. neither does most of the audeince wow I know The Weakest Link is a UK original, I don't know about the others. "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" is and i thought "deal or no deal" was aswell but it's dutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 There are hundreds of instances of contestants missing questions even easier than that one. The only uniquely shameful thing about that question was the audiences 56% to 42% decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benz Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I went with The Apprentice. It's very edumacational and seems to be right on with the modern business world. In fact some colleges and universities are now using the show in their business classes as part of the study program. He's also opening his own Trump University.
