Smarter than a fifth grader?
 

Has anybody else watched this? Is it a little scary to know that some people are this clueless?

I'm watching it now. I missed the polar bear question last night and the Dewey Decimal question tonight.

The man who was from UCLA and went to law school. Pathetic!!!

The show is interesting...but SO SLOW!!! I am bored watching it.

Leslie I agree. I lost interested because it's way too slow paced.

My fifth grader thinks the show is stupid!

I worked in a library for years, and I missed it as well. Turns out there are classifications for fiction in the 800s, but every library I have ever been in that uses the DDC instead of Library of Congress classification simply puts fiction in "F-Author," instead of using the DDC numbers.

And yes, it moves much too slowly.

I watched for about 2 minutes, but it was too slow-paced for me. But on the radio this morning, the 3 DJs were all quizzing each other and one DJ could not name all the colours of the rainbow, even though the other DJs were barking at him: "ROY G. BIV! ROY G. BIV!"

I played it for my 4th graders and am pleased that they knew most of the questions. Still, it's not something I would show in class all the time.

Like many of you have commented I found the show way too slow. I watched the first couple of questions, but had to turn it off after that. It was painfully slow...

I saw a story on yahoo where they mentioned the show only asked 5 questions in 30 minutes. It's ridiculous.

YES! I knew I wasn't crazy. I remember the libraries back home using the "F-Author" notation.

Yeah, definitely too slow. I won't bother watching it again.

Its a cute show with a cute premise - and definitely makes you think about all the stuff we've forgotten!

But yes, it is too slooooowwwww -- they asked one question & got the answer and asked the next question & went to commercial. So you average 1.5 questions per segment, so 5 sounds about right.

I HATE how every freaking show has played off of Ryan Seacrest with the "after the break" - Howie on DOND is the most aggrivating but Jeff Foxworthy is catching up!
