TWO NEW GAME SHOWS I'M WATCHING THIS SUMMER ON FOX

SWEET · ‎03-09-2010

I'm not sure if these are just Summer replacement shows or what but I'm enjoying them.

Quiz With Big Balls on Tuesdays at 8 pm. It's pretty good in my opinion. The first show I watched at least. What gets me is that this one family is dressed to the nines even though they know they might be going into the water. At least after they get wet, the show gives them robes and clothes so they don't have to sit in wet clothing.

The other is The 1% Club also on Fox on Tuesday night. I liked this one even better. The description:

"100 contestants from across the country compete for the chance to win up to $100,000. In each episode, host Patton Oswalt will ask a series of increasingly difficult, logic-based questions. This game does not test intelligence; instead, it inquires on the way your brain works through 15 entertaining questions. Starting with the 90% question, one that 90 out of 100 people got right, and building towards the 1% question, which only 1 out of 100 people answered correctly. Who can answer the question that only 1% of America got right and win the grand prize."

Did you watch them or just stating your opinion? Just curious. Everyone has different tastes. I also enjoyed The Floor.

I like the concept behind these shows, but too much friendly chatter between questions to keep my interest. Without the chit-chat they could both be reduced to half-hour shows

I love trivia games, so I opted for the Quiz With Big Balls. I like it. The trivia is certainly not as easy as I hoped, and after two episodes I'm starting to see how they "trip" the contestants. I have to DVR, so I just watched it tonight (Of course there was a meeting, but I didn't have to be at this one! ).
