First of all, I completely disagree with the premise, and hence, title, of the show. Memorization of facts does not make you smart. Your ability to effectively apply what you know in a given situation makes you smart. In that sense, I am certainly far smarter than any fifth grader.
Secondly, anyone who would subject themselves to this humiliating premise on television for the gawking and mockery of others is, by default, dumber than a fifth grader. The fact that I am not, and never will be, on that show proves I’m smarter than a fifth grader.
Enough of these ponderous, tiresome, drawn-out game shows with their stalling-as-suspense drudgery. It’s time for the 24-hour House channel.

Turn off your television. That is about the smartest thing you can do.

Yeah. I wrote this because someone else was watching it and wanted me to answer the questions. I said no and wrote this instead.
There’s only one show I make a point of watching any given week. The rest of my TV watching is so I can zone out before bed.
