What Parents Need to Know
About Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
Parents need to know that kids help adults answer questions taken from grade-school textbooks that could win the adult contestants up to $1 million. That said, the kids are mainly on the sidelines in this program. The content of the questions is completely unobjectionable, and kids are treated with respect (though in one episode host Jeff Foxworthy compared a young girl's looks to those of Halle Berry). One aspect of the game -- in which a contestant can "peek" or "copy" a child's answer -- might be seen to endorse cheating.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why it's hard for grown-ups to answer these seemingly simple questions. Kids, how well did you do on the questions? Grown ups, how about you? What do you think this show says about adults' intelligence? Or the type of learning that occurs in grade school?

Awesom Family Game Show
A great show for people of all ages. It's funny to see adults answering questions that I mostly know the answers to, before they even start to narrow down the answers. I especially like the celebrity edition.
