I cant believe that adults were that dumb but you know that alot you learn back in the day at school you tend to forget about. but come on the guy that they ask what 2x5 was and he just stopped and had to think everyone knows that it is 20. LOL, LOL, LOL.

I thought the same thing. Some people are just dumb.

I think it's amusing but rather silly. First of all, I feel that they had to have handpicked people for the show who they thought wouldn't know the answers. Because I truly believe that if you had an actual true sample of the US population, you'd have people who were a bit more certain that the Pilgrims came over to America on the Mayflower. Maybe I'm wrong.

I thought so too. I don't know, sometimes I think people just act dumb, surely people know what the Mayflower is..LOL. I like watching Jay Leno when he does JayWalking and he asks people on the street questions about history or whatknot. They give stupid answers too.

Yeah, you're right. But that's what I mean, they have to be handpicking the people with the dumb answers...just because there's no entertainment value in the correct ones, you know?

I have to say, when I heard about this show, I thought, right, they will pick people who will not know the answer. I changed my mind when I started trying to answer the questions myself. lol
I watched it last night and tonight and it seemed I got dumber by the second. Thankfully, tonight I did better than last night.
Give me Deal or No Deal, I can say Case 1, 2, 3 etc without thinking lol

it seemed to me too that they were faking how dumb they truly were. but after that woman backed out on the millennium question for all that money i figured she must have really not known it. before she was just pretending to be dumb, then throwing out the answer. i think that it took too long between questions, and the commercial breaks seemed too often. i liked the idea though.

I thought it was a rather amusing show. It made me wonder why I never get on game shows that easy. I didn't have any problems with the questions. I also think Jeff Foxworthy is the perfect host. It must be hard to think, though, with him making such funny comments while you're thinking.
We have 6th and 5th graders in the house they thought it was funny that these adults were having such problems with what they've learned.
Good family show.
