Battle of the Generations

This show idea had the potential to be really good, but it's just atrocious. The pacing is too slow. I shouldn't feel bored watching a game show. The dumbest contestant ended up playing for the main prize. He gets almost every final question wrong, but because there are a million second chances, he still wins. The questions are really basic. The format would work better if the contestants all played against each other in a much faster pace. The elimination of contestants is more luck based rather than on their trivia skills. The host tries too hard with cheesy puns. The big prize is $25,000. Don't waste your time.

Really not as bad as others are saying that it is, it is a decent trivia show and I could see it being even more enjoyable for a family where there are multiple generations watching it together.

With categories covering many different areas and multiple generations it also offers some added knowledge to anyone watching and makes it easy to pick up on stuff from a timeline that you are not the most familiar with.

If you like game shows and trivia you should really give this a try, the corny moments and bad jokes do not make it unwatchable and you may like it a lot more than the few that reviewed this before me.

So in conclusion don't avoid this show solely based on a few bad reviews, give it a shot. And the host Lily Singh does a fine job I think its the clearly intentionally bad humor that people aren't so fond.

Lily Singh was pretty much canceled...hasn't she gotten the memo? She offended and maligned several groups of people while making her millions. She appropriates whatever culture will make her seem "cool". She despises men in particular, Caucasian ones the most, of course, and over the years, clearly lost the spirit of fun and "kindness" that made her so popular on youtube. She obsesses over her numerous "identities" that literally no one cares about at all.

Found an interesting tidbit from a co-worker too: "I am a TV industry veteran and I work on the crew of Lilly Singh's new Battle of the Generations CTV game show. I am flabbergasted at how bad Lilly Singh is as a television host. She can not read off a teleprompter without flubbing her lines every two takes. She mispronounces easy names and words. Our crew works until 9pm every night because we have to do dozens of re-takes to fix her mistakes.

This is the real reason Lilly Singh complains on her gram about how tired she is. It is her own fault for being unprepared and unable to do basic TV gameshow hosting tasks like reading a few lines off a screen without errors. She makes everyone on set work an hour later than we need to because of her incompetence.

Lilly Singh did an insta story on how negative comments are not really constructive criticism if you don't know the person. Whelp, I work 14 hour days on your show Lilly so I do know you, and everyone there including you can vouch that what I say is true about you making constant errors and having to do pickups that delay production for hours. We are fed up and it's sad that NBC and CTV hire unqualified YouTubers like her rather than pros to host shows."

Le Grand Frommage. This is one of the cheesiest game shows to come out of Canada since toasters where one of the prizes.

Can it get any worse without actually trying to be a parody of those shows?

Lilly Singh's overblown forced exuberance, and inability to project an iota of honest interest is #Epic on the cringworthiness scale.

The scripted humour seems to comes from a failed high school drama program that always finishes last in any competition.

The failed enthusiasm and humour from the contestants is so forced, their friends will be teasingly reminding them of it until their dying day.

Managed to persevere through 2 episodes but will willingly claw out my own eyes before watching a third.

This show has an entertaining concept, but its execution falls flat. The introductory segments, where contestants boast about themselves and their generation, come across as awkward. The absence of a live studio audience reacting to the contestants' answers and the host's banter makes the show feel dull. A larger budget might have elevated the production quality and made the show more engaging. Interestingly, there's speculation that season 2 was intended to include a live studio audience, but there's been no official word on when or if it will be released. Canada can do better than this flop.
