My husband gets a bit upset with me at times because I love watching jepardy and shows like that and he doesn't. I think it's good for the brain to keep active like this though. What are your opinions? Do you like quiz shows or are you a bit of a trivia buff?

I dont really get into all those trivia shows. But i will admit i do like that new one thats on Thursdays called Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader. That one seems pretty good.

I'm not honestly into them. But, I do agree with you that they keep the brain active.

I do like to watch them once in a while. I do not go way out of my way to watch them though.

Thanks for your comment. I think it keeps your mind active answering the questions some of the time.

I think Jeopardy is boring! Alex Trebeck could do a little to spice things up. My mom got me hooked on that, and every now and then, I will watch. I liked the William shatner show, show me the money, or 1 vs 100.

I adore trivia and quiz shows. When I had my last tv service provider I had challenge tv and I would be glued to the tv all day. Now I have changed providers and I can't get challenge tv anymore but I will keep checking the tv guide to look for the tv quiz programmes. I even go to pub quizess and I also do them in magazines and nespapers. Unfortunately I have never won anything...lol.

I must be starting to get to know you because I thought you might answer this discussion and say you enjoyed quizzes. Haha. We seem to have a lot of fund raising trivia nights in Australia. They are a bit of fun.

I was always a great fan of University Challenge, and my brother and I used to love trying to compete against each other for who could answer the most correct. Sadly, when it comes to most quiz shows they tend to be concerned with simple or basic questions that do not inspire me at all.
