After cancelling the primetime version in 2009 after three seasons, FOX is looking to revive Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?. Jeff Foxworthy will be returning as the show’s host and the premise of testing how much information the contestants have retained since their days in elementary school for big bucks will remain the same. During its network run, the series became one of the most popular new shows in 2007 by the first season ranking 28th in the U.S. Nielsen ratings with a 12.7 million viewer-per episode average and several other countries adopting versions of their own including Canada, Norway and South Africa. After its original end on FOX in 2009, 5th Grader ran briefly in syndication from 2009-2011 and ended due to subpar ratings. No word on whether the revived series will retain the $1 million grand prize yet, but I will make sure to keep you updated. UPDATE: The producers are currently casting for contestants to compete in the FOX revival of the show. Go to Craigslist for more information.

Teams Revealed For Third Season of "American Bible Challenge"
In about a month from today, The American Bible Challenge will be kicking off its third season off on GSN. On Wednesday via press release, GSN announced the roster of the 18 three-person teams who will be competing in the upcoming season, which begins Thursday, May 22 at 8:00pm ET. Jeff Foxworthy will once again take the helm with Kirk Franklin serving as co-host/music director and give one team the opportunity to win over $140,000 toward their favorite charity. Like every year, these teams come from all walks of life and range in various professions from motorcycle riding priests to former beauty queens. In addition to new teams, this season will also bring new mini-Biblical trivia games including delineating between words from the Bible and words from Star Trek’s Klingon language in “Christ or Klingon” and decoding mistakenly “autocorrected” Bible passages in “Curse You Autocorrect”. Check out the list of the 18 contenders entering into the Biblical arena this season below:
