I was wondering if anyone have seen this show? It is a game show where the adults challenges a fifth grade student. It is very interesting. I am going to watch it tonight. Some adults on this game show can't even answer the question. If you haven't seen it please watch it. I like this game show because it challenges me.

Oh, and I'd probably watch a local version of "Fifth Grader". Frank, as host, would be hysterical!

It definitely wasn't the same format as the title of this thread but there were enough similarities for a light bulb to go on in my tutu brain!

Re: Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
I've only seen one and that was this last week. It was sad. I too felt embarrassed for the guy as they posted his academic awards and college GPA at the bottom of the screen.
I didn't catch the beginning of the show but I am wondering about the chosen 5th graders also... They seemed to always have the correct answer... maybe they were given tests with the actual questions before being chosen...
We've all noticed that as we learn we tend to forget previously learned data. (Most apparent in job changes where you have what I call a "memory dump" of un-needed previous job details replaced by current job details.) Maybe this show points outs that old brain files cannot always be accessed. lolSpeak to me in quiet ways, of moonlit nights and halcyon days~

Re: Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
I have finally caught the show a few times.
My boys LOVE it and I enjoy it as well.
I am really surprised that the contestants have to "think" about some of the first grade questions.
Then again, I realized it has been 25 years since I have spelled YAK on my own, if I didn't have kids, I may have forgotten!Since when is psycho a bad thing??

Re: Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
OK, I admit it. I am not smarter than a 5th grader...not today. I watched the show for the first time this evening and answered every question correctly except the million $$ one:
What French explorer led expeditions to the St. Lawrence River area of Canada?
Tell the truth, now. Am I the only one here who doesn't know the answer? Well, I do now because I watched the show, but I honestly don't remember ever learning the answer in any grade. Did I learn it and forgot it? If I were French would I have forgotten? Am I just old??

That's probably why it was the million $$ question -- odds were, the contestant wouldn't know the answer!
