Anyone watch this TV program?
If so, how well do you do?
Are the questions fair to the "average" person?

I also watch Cash Cab, but I'm not that great at it since quite a few of the questions involve East Coast history.

However, I did manage to answer all of the questions for a decent journey, along with the 'Double or Nothing' question. I think the Red Light Challenge questions are sometimes too easy, but they let your mind relax a little bit.

I do find this show more enjoyable than Jeopardy at expanding my knowledge since the questions are more relevant.

Bachelor - that is a cogent, well thought out answer.

I often find the questions on "recent pop-history" difficult. But more often, I am dismayed by the foolish answers given to what I consider to be "all American" questions.
I have to wonder if folks are taught history or watch the news anymore.

"East Coast History" - maybe that's why I like it. I'm a "Joisey Boy" - and damned proud of it. It's all happening there - and if you pay attention, you learn it.
The "West" began about a hundred years ago - and doesn't seem to recall much before that.
