Some are, some I feel sorry for when they don't read the question right.

Re: Bam whiz kids
Of the shows I've seen so far (not today's yet) I have to say "call your +1 up". +1 is almost always a parent. And yes, they may not know, but at least you'll go down *trying*.
Also "please take a deep breath & read-for-meaning".
They have obviously been told to "reason through out loud". But not to read for meaning, apparently.

Re: Bam whiz kids
A new game show featuring smart kids, Child Support with host Fred Savage, premieres Jan. 5 on ABC. Will it be good TV, or a revamped Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

The kids weren't contestants on Fifth Grader.jarnon wrote:A new game show featuring smart kids, Child Support with host Fred Savage, premieres Jan. 5 on ABC. Will it be good TV, or a revamped Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
But the title, Child Support, doesn't sound too respectful, if the kids are going to be taken seriously as contestants.

The contestants are adults and the kids are like Plus Ones, which explains the title.MarleysGh0st wrote:The kids weren't contestants on Fifth Grader.jarnon wrote:A new game show featuring smart kids, Child Support with host Fred Savage, premieres Jan. 5 on ABC.

Hollywood Reporter wrote:The show (formerly known as Five to Survive) will feature grown-up contestants answering 10 questions for a chance to win a cash prize. If the adult can't answer a question correctly, he or she can turn to a group of five kids (ages six to nine) who have been asked the same question.

The contestants are being "helped" by a panel of five kids and Ricky Gervais.
I presume Ricky Gervais is there to keep the kid's answers funny, although the review says he wasn't so funny in the pilot.The good news is that Ricky Gervais isn’t competing against the kids, but is with them competing against grown up game show contestants in a studio that looks like Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Savage asks questions and whether the contestant answers correctly or not, we then watch Gervais and the kids try and answer as well. In the event that a contestant gets the answer wrong, their total amount of potential winnings decreases and they remain in the game if the kids got the answer correct. They are only out of the game when both the contestant and the kids get the answer wrong, in which case they walk away with nothing.
It ends up being just a really long quiz show because you have to see both the contestants and the kids answer the same question twice.
