Like when I'm really bored and if I'm not doing homework or playing hockey or keeping myself busy or watching movies and if it's on tehn I'll watch it! But I'm not even kidding I saw him and I was shaking like crazy!

What Parents Need to Know
This review of Cash Cab was written by Sierra Filucci
Parents need to know that this unique game show tests random New York City taxicab riders on their trivia knowledge for a cash prize. Questions are general knowledge and appropriate for all ages, though preteens may not have the knowledge base to fully participate in play-at-home viewing. The host occasionally smirks at the camera when a contestant doesn't know an answer, but the tone of the show is generally lighthearted. The host and/or contestants occasionally use mild curse words, though they're usually bleeped. Be sure to remind kids that they should never get in a stranger's car, no matter what the incentive.

More on Cash Cab
What’s the Story?
CASH CAB is an innovative game show in which unsuspecting New York City taxi riders answer trivia questions for a cash prize. When customers jump in comedian Ben Bailey's taxi, they don't realize they're entering a mobile game show. If riders agree to play, the cab starts moving and the game begins. Contestants have the duration of their ride to answer general knowledge trivia questions, which get progressively harder and more lucrative as Bailey negotiates Manhattan traffic. But if they answer incorrectly three times, contestants must leave the cab and lose any prize money. Two "shout-outs" are available: one chance to ask someone on the street for help and one call to someone. Those who make it to their destination can double their money by answering a question transmitted by video monitor -- but if they answer incorrectly, they lose everything.
