Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? Review Summary
Watching
Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader "makes you feel smart and ignorant at the same time." Comedian Jeff "Your Might Be a Redneck" Foxworthy hosts this game show on Fox that asks grade school curriculum of adults, to see how much we remember from all those years ago. The answer is, not that much, leaving a small selection of reviewers "appalled at the stupidity of the contestants" and finding the show boring. The adults' knowledge is compared to that of a group of 5th graders on the show that "are cute and, of course, very smart." The adults always have occupations or education to make you think they are very smart as well. Even reviewers that aren't fans of Foxworthy are fans of this show, as they "think he adds a little something different" to
Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, leaving the majority of reviewers not only knowing they are not smarter than a 5th grader, but also finding this to be a
"fun family show." Fox also airs another popular game show,
