Common Knowledge

I didn't realize it when I was a kid, but it's true that the host makes or breaks a game show.

Fatone's delivery is just so flat. He makes no attempt to interact with the contestants in a real person sort of way, and the stupid "How did you get that answer?" Follow up he does after every question is just a time-filling waste.

It's a game about "common knowledge", why are you asking contestants how they "got it"?

My wife and I enjoy this show as we play along. We find it educational. We've even learn a few things with this show. The host is excellent. Give this show a chance i think it will catch on!

In today's edition of "Common Knowledge", three possible answers were listed for the question about resolving sibling disagreements. The correct answer, "separate them" was misspelled. It was posted as "seperate". Come on! Where are the spell checkers??!

After watching a fair number of episodes I can only conclude that anyone with a triple digit IQ is disqualified from being a contestant on this game show! In addition, "Joey" asking how you came up with an obvious answer is insulting to anyone with a functioning brain.

This show, in my opinion, is quite a classy game show. The host, Joey Fatone, is a true gentleman and does not need to act ridiculous. The "common knowledge" is something helpful that most of us could use in our everyday lives. I think this is one of the best new game shows.
