I only missed the one on Lincoln. Probably because I make a point of sleeping through U.S. history... :P

xD My teachers never make us remember dates---- so I wouldn't know either, Astinos...Knighty of whatever because man, I can't keep track of who the heck you are ! >.<

I like the show ---- it's a bit boring if you were a genius, but if you actually don't know the answer to some of these, you either a) learn it, or b) laugh about it.

The host is also a catch! :) Jeff Foxworthy is love.

Hehe... and amazingly I got all of them right except the one about Abe Lincoln. As a Brit in a World History class I find it quite hard to remember any dates!

It's an interesting idea for a show, I watched most of the episode on Thursday. But I found it got somewhat dull after a while. I got most of them right, but like Haldir, I don't know those kinds of details about American politics.

Sometimes the time changes since it's a new show --- it's trying to find a good stationary airing time. It's usually on FOX, Thursday nights though. It's an hour long, so it'll either be at 8 or 9.
