For example dont use this question:
What was the first black and white game show on tv?
Better question:
Which state does not border any other state(Alaska) [/quote]
I think you are both undermining and insulting a child's intellegence. I think its an aberration. You are insinuating the popular belief that children don't care about the past.
How untrue. In fact, I get this feeling that with geography scores as low as they are; more kids might know the gameshow question.
Anyhow, I don't see why you would need to "baby" down the show as much as some of you are suggesting. I do agree with putting into a trust after $32,000; but above that; the format needs to stay true to the original. (IMHO, the changes that Starkman suggested stray from the format, and would lead to confusion. Why give an automatic $100? Kids who lost on other shows were stuck with Nestle Quik...)
Starkman:
Fair criticism...the only things i would demand really is a higher gaurentee point than 32k, and the right to bring your parents onstage in leiu of phone a friend again this would be an option not an extra lifeline.
The others i see your arguement it does hack the format somewhat.
Ok, a whole lot.
And thanks for the PYB clarifcation, given that the last time i saw PYB i was a kid (well teenager) myself, im not suprised i wasnt quite right, forgot that endgame wasnt for the scholarship. As I said it was a good format for kids if it wasnt brought crashing to it's knees by too many fee plugs (2XL!!!!) and bad acting in the hit man like segments.
Never seen clark's smartest kid...intresting.
