Airdate: Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?

TEN’s new quiz show Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader will premiere on Wednesday September 26th.
The first episode will screen at 8:45pm following the finale (yes finale) of Thank God You’re Here. Working Dog productions are smart enough to keep people wanting more, and presumably the network.
Rove McManus is host of the new show, based on an American format. I guess they decided not to Australianise the title to Are You Smarter than a Grade Fiver?
The kids helping Rove out are named Kelly, Darcy, Maxy, Moya and Sam. No doubt set for big things.
The week is likely to be a big one for TEN. Along with these big Wednesday shows, TEN has the AFL Grand Final. But played out of primetime, it won’t help them actually win the week in official ratings.
The commercial brodcasters lost a move to have the AFL move the final to the evening.

31/10/07 your questions tonight were not all related up to the 5th grade – eg, I am 28 and did not study computers in primary school and the internet was not introduced to me until high school, i only knew thge answer (avatar) because ive seen it on a forum i use. Now unless your a big internet user or done ahve further study, as most average joes wouldnt even know the ansewer just like tonight
if your wanting this show to be even a bit fair you should becareful on what studies you use unless you contestant is under about 15 instead of abouve 25 and use topics that are from the past and not so much the present
I was in the audience for the filming today =] It was pretty good.
No, the 8.45pm timeslot is a one-off thing. Subsequent episodes will air at 7.30pm.
You should be a programmer.
Does this mean that when House returns it won’t be in the 8:30 timeslot? Or will fifth grader be moved to 7:30 when TGYH finishes?
Hope the show works here..it’s a huge hit in the US..I think Rove can relate well to kids,being a big kid himself..probably the perfect host for such a show…
I wonder if Rove will stand on a box so he’s made to look as tall as the kids? 😛
