This is not a bad show, unless you include the poor thought put into it. The sets are good, there is nothing that's putting down good things that children should do. I honestly think this is a good show, the only thing I don't like are the kids on their show. I don't want to call them idiots... well I do. They are pretty dumb, no offense. They get the easiest questions wrong. They have about 5-10 seconds to remember everything, that's enough. I'm 12 and I've gotten everything, well almost everything right on that show. It's so stupid. These kids are idiots and this guy is too. Every question has to involve him. He's a total jackbutt(not gonna curse.)

What Parents Need to Know
About BrainSurge
Parents need to know that this game show makes it easy for kids to play along with the contestants, testing their listening comprehension and visual recollection skills in a series of puzzles and quizzes. Players are eliminated at the end of each of three rounds, but they’re always good sports about their fate -- and about their slippery, messy exit down an oversized slide model of the ear canal. Aside from some recurrent potty humor (kids sit in chairs that make farting noises when their answer’s wrong), there’s little to worry about in this fast-paced game show.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about competition. What does competing teach you about yourself? What contests have you been a part of? How did you feel when you won? When you lost?
- Kids: Do you have any role models who are athletes? Why do you respect and admire them? What do you think of athletes who demonstrate negative behavior?
- What other game shows have you seen? How was the format different? Do you like that this show’s contestants are all kids? Do you think there’s some educational quality to its content?
