Title: "Smarter than a Fifth Grader"
Post by: tpirfan28 on February 25, 2007, 07:36:29 PM

I'm watching the tail end of the NASCAR race, leading up to Fox's Sunday programming, and I see a commercial for "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader" and a question popped into my mind:

Is there an age restriction on the "adults"?  I'm 18 (this trainwreck premieres on my 19th birthday)...could I qualify?  Not that I would want to (or could)...

Only if you're still in the 5th grade.

On casting notices, FOX wanted contestants over 25 years old (http://\"http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/tlg/274316233.html\").

In short: if you're old enough to be a Jeff Foxworthy fan ... you MIGHT be a contestant.

Something tells me that if you are going on this show, chances are you DON'T know better! ;)

Am I the only one who saw the topic description and thought, "What does Regis have to do with this show?"

An Atlanta newspaper?  Interviewing Foxworthy?  However did they get access?
