/great, great film

Fox should buy "Hoarders" and add a studio audience to the mix.

Lord, I'd watch that every week AND write in for tickets.

"Mark Burnett is one of the pre-eminent producers of unscripted programming on television."

Let's play, Fark's "You Make the Call":

Survivor
Boarding House: North Shore
Commando Nanny
The Apprentice
The Contender
Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
Amne$ia
Pirate Master
Toughest Cowboy
My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad
P. Diddy's Starmaker
How'd You Get So Rich?

Approves.

I've said it before, but I want to see "Tiny House", goddammit

Fox ? Integrity? Does anyone other than me have a problem with this pairing?

This isn't a Fox News series, you nitwits.

It's going to suck ass, anyway. Game shows with kids always do.

no idea what the show is but I liked the headline

I love how in the commercials a kid is considered a genius because he knew the hexadecimal code for black. The kid stands there and goes "000000" and the audience all gasp and the host looks in shock. I'm an idiot and even I knew that. Any kid who's ever made a web page (which is most of them) knows that code.

And yet Toddlers & Tiaras is still on the air.

Those people are ugly and shouldn't be on television.

I would watch it just because I like watching Autism on Parade.

FOX is fair and balanced. Some of the news presenters are fair-skinned, and some are balanced on chairs. Occasionally, they some both at the same time.

That would have been the best show ever. Plus the chick was pretty hot.

FOX pulls episodes of 'Our Little Genius' over 'integrity' issues, recommends that viewers interested in watching child-like delivery of information via earpiece tune in to their news network instead

I realize we aren't saying this anymore, but "Oh, snap!"

I saw this coming when I saw the commercial for the show. I'm just surprised they actually fessed up to it.

You actually liked that show? No wonder why they created Our Little Genius.

Which means that someone threatened to squeal. Parent, tech, someone who wasn't in the loop found out, and brought it to the attention of the producers. Rather than pay out or take the publicity hit, they decided to fess up faster than the squealer could get it out.

I saw the commercial for that show and said "yeah, and I'm sure little Jonny isn't getting help with the answers ahead of time". Bet I wasn't far off.

Liked maybe, MAYBE one episode, but couldn't watch it after the first one. I was just offering it as another example of a game show with kids.

Sorry. I misunderstood. I offered up a reason for why Double Dare was a game show with kids that didn't suck. I assumed you were bringing a counterpoint.

/Stupid Internet for making me assume everyone is snarky.

Game shows with kids that did not suck:

May I suggest Runaround (new window)?

"Integrity issues" usually means "cheating" rather than "generalized disgust at the exploitation of children." The NY Times did a short piece on the show a few days ago that mentioned that they taped the kids giving incorrect answers to certain questions, ostensibly to "condition" the kid to not look devestated on tv when he lost half a million bucks (or, more likely, to provide juicy material for advertisements). If you're going to start screwing around with the game like that, it's only a short step to genuinely fudging the actual results.

Uzzah: "Integrity issues" usually means "cheating" rather than "generalized disgust at the exploitation of children."

I was hoping for something along these lines:

CHILD: I am a genius. And you, common adult, are inferior to my vast knowledge.

ADULT: I'll be sure to remember that in a few years when you're caught dryfarking your friend's RealDoll while I'm at home with my wife and children.

CHILD: *starts crying*

That would make this all worthwhile.

I hope they at least let the kids keep the hotplate.

...2nd try.

It probably didn't generate the ratings they were hoping it would.

I'll third myself:

I'm glad. This looked like one of the crappiest "game shows" they've come up with in a long time.

This thread is now about Nickelodeon game shows:

There is only one game show for kids that mattered:

They'd have gotten better ratings with a game show version of Monster Rain

B b but the kids are answering PH mother farkin D level questions. That means the multiple choice questions go to like Z or something.

You know, I honestly think there are people out there who assume getting a PhD is essentially sitting in a classroom learning factoid after factoid about general information.

dettigersnw22: They'd have gotten better ratings with a game show version of Monster Rain

I'd TF sponsor you for that if I wasn't broke!
/effen awesome

Didn't an episode of Max Headroom have a show similar to OLG?

Alzheimer's what: B b but the kids are answering PH mother farkin D level questions. That means the multiple choice questions go to like Z or something.

You know, I honestly think there are people out there who assume getting a PhD is essentially sitting in a classroom learning factoid after factoid about general information.

Amen. What would impress me would be if they made the kids give a well reasoned critique on a book, movie, piece of music, or architecture. Then I would think they are smart. Until then, they are just mimicking accurately.

"Our next challenge is to construct a critique of a book, dissecting it with an eye towards post-modern applications of cynicism and irony, and linking it to the monocultural, oppressive, and patriarchal systems of thought that reigned supreme in the discourse of the time of its writing; extra points awarded for Derrida inclusions."

"The first book in this challenge: A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh."

I doubt that the questions are general knowledge factoids. They're more likely esoteric nuggets geared toward the field of expertise of the "genius." "Our Little Genius" is a much nicer title than "Our Presentable Autistic" though.
