The Show "ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A FIFTH GRADER?'

When I first got here in US, I always watch alot of shows and movies. I seen entertaining shows and movies that I've never seen before. There are alot of channels to choose too. Its really different of what we have in the Philippines. I loved to watch the movies from channel LMN, Fox,reality shows, scifi and alot more. Being always at work i missed alot of shows but not really because I can save shows that i really want and watch it when i get home from work. One of the saved shows in my DVR is the show "ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A FIFTH GRADER?". I saved "American Idol" season seven for this year 2008 and i loved "Prison Break"and "Dancing with the Star" too. Those are some shows that i saved. Lately, i seen the advertisement of this new game show entitled " The moment of truth" . I missed to watch its first show but i will not next time because its included now in my saved shows in my DVR.

While watching on the show "ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A FIFTH GRADER?", my mind told me to put those questions that they have in the show here in my blog site so i have copies of it and its interesting to do. I learned alot of things in this show that i don't really know before. And also i want to share things that i learned from this show to all of you out there or you can try to watch the show with yourself.Its really fun and you will learn alot from it.

In this show they have actual school kids who will help the contestant to get prices and go on to the one million dollar question. Isn't that interesting that word "One million dollar"? I really want to be in that show but I'm afraid to be eliminated in the first question. well,well, well it's not the show for me to pursue but i just wanna learned things.
