Thanks Fox. Cancel quality shows like Firefly and run this crap.

(Sorry... one of the few times you'll see me be negative here...)

Wow...ugg

Ewwwwwww......

Fox does it again... just when you think they can't go any lower.

That's so interesting. Glad to finally see what the show would be about. The production company reached out to gifted communities looking for families to participate, asking "is your child a little genius?" LOL!

I like the last line of the article:



I don't think any reality show is a harmless game show.

Ick. I vote for child exploitation. The sad thing is, lots of parents will jump on that boat.

We'd like to see Firefly resurrected too. At least we have the season on DVD.

Our family has boycotted Fox almost completely since Firefly was cancelled. Now we have even more reason. NOT shiny.

This should bring hothousing to a whole new level . . .

How did I know that Firefly would resonate with this crowd?

(Now I could have gone with Family Guy... which they also did cancel once upon a time...)

Okay, so I admit it....Hahaha Oh man, glad to find out what this show is all about! I saw a link on the mensa bright-kids site, so out of curiosity I called...My DS is a total wiz at sports trivia AND highly competitive, so I thought, wow, might be fun...DS was super excited about showcasing his talent in sports trivia Lol...Casting director very excited about DS and asked DS all sorts of sports questions, which he did well at answering. Long story short, director said DS was great for show and will get back to us....Haven't heard back yet and now I'm glad. Of course would never have agreed to anything until I knew what we were getting into! It seems like there is a lot of negativity about the show. I'm glad to know more about it. Thanks for posting!
