As I mentioned on Jim's FB page, I got three questions in and bailed. My memory of the original College Bowl -- and, granted, my age was in the single digits -- was that the questions were really hard and not trivia-based. This seems to be on a Celebrity Jeopardy-level of pub quiz questions.
The biggest drawback is the Mannings. I realize that, as producers, they're baked in, but if a show is touting intellectual prowess, Peyton Manning might not be your best exemplar of that. --Dave Sikula On Wednesday, June 23, 2021 at 3:03:14 PM UTC-7 Jim Ellwanger wrote: > The opening included a montage of clips of the original version, as seen > on an old-timey TV.
