Title: Is Cash Cab the worst trivia show ever?
Post by: I_have_purplewood on August 08, 2008, 01:36:54 PM
I think so.  How do they expect the people in the burbs to relate to such a dumb show.  I don't even know what a cab is really?  And could you at least make the cab a little more stereotypical say like the one in Plains, Trains & Automobiles?  If anyone knows of a worser trivia show, I'd like to know.  TIA

its not that bad of a show.  i never ridden in a cab, but never found it hard to relate to a show where they ask you questions for money.

I keep thinking a good combination of Cash Cab and Taxicab Confessions would make for great TV.

Jeopardy. A trivia show where you give the answer then ask the question, how long it take for them to figure out that concept.

I've always wanted to see someone say "Is it [whatever]?" rather than "Who is...?" or "What is...?"

My roommate and I usually watch Cash Cab when it's on in the afternoon. Yesterday we were just sitting there somewhat watching it when Ben Bailey asked a question that mentioned K-State. It was something like "Home to Kansas State University, what is the name of the city nicknamed "The Little Apple"? I was all  :love:  :woohoo:  :ksu:  :excited:  :drool:

CC is a great show. Host is pretty funny. Questions are entertaining.

CC After Dark is even better (drunk contestants).

My God what glorious television.

Would you bozos risk it all and go double-or-nothing on a video bonus question?
I sure as hell would.  :hope:

The government should step in and do something about his driving.  It's much more distracted than any cell phone user.

Are you saying if you only had 100-300 you would go for it? Or if you already had over a grand you would keep it? I've always wondered if there was a strategy to it....

I would always take the money, only exception being is if there are 4 people in the care and were only getting like 100 each.

Do you have to pay the guy your fare?

Rookie question. This is answered at the start of every episode, as long as you get no more than 2 wrong you win the money and a free ride. If you miss 3 he drops you off wherever you are.

It's good show, but the questions are definitely on the easy side.  Jeopardy! is the best show in history, and even better on DVR.
