| rdfs:comment | - Game Show created for Fox hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy in which contestants tested their wits on common school-related topics (geography, spelling, math, etc.) against a panel of 5th-Graders for a chance at $1,000,000. It had the typical 21st-century game show Tropes of a money tree, pseudo-lifelines to help with the questions, and a loud audience, but it's a surprisingly good watch. The show first aired in an hour-long format for three seasons between 2006 and 2009. (There were been many complaints from actual college students who insisted they never learned this stuff, most likely due to the subject material having been changed since they moved on from 5th Grade.)

| abstract | - Game Show created for Fox hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy in which contestants tested their wits on common school-related topics (geography, spelling, math, etc.) against a panel of 5th-Graders for a chance at $1,000,000. It had the typical 21st-century game show Tropes of a money tree, pseudo-lifelines to help with the questions, and a loud audience, but it's a surprisingly good watch. The show first aired in an hour-long format for three seasons between 2006 and 2009. (There were been many complaints from actual college students who insisted they never learned this stuff, most likely due to the subject material having been changed since they moved on from 5th Grade.) In September 2009, the hour-long show ended and a half-hour syndicated version replaced it, with a top prize of $250,000. The syndicated version featured a slightly different format; each category was worth a dollar amount based off its level, winnings went to a bank (which got erased if a player answered incorrectly), and the player could opt to play a bonus question to increase their winnings by 10. This version was canned in March 2011.
