ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Develiker terrible... so disappointed.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
crmagicr I think this show could have worked. It might have even worked in its incarnation, with a couple of key changes. But it didn't. Why? Well, 5 reasons, really.Reasons # 1, 2, 3 -- Paul Reubens. It seems Mr. Reubens does not know how to temper his "comedic" ability and allow others (namely, the CONTESTANTS) to share stage with him. He is loud, crude, and overly boisterous through the whole show, and completely ruins it.Reason #4 -- Writing. The writers seemed bound and determined to turn this into a variety show rather than a game show, when they should have been trying to blend the quiz with the humour, as the video game so skillfully does. Want an example of a video game show that does this correctly? Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. It may have been a kiddy show, but it was a very popular one for this reason.Reason #5 -- Jack Attack. As the key element of a YDKJ! round, it should have been left EXACTLY as it is in the game. Instead, we see even more of Paul Reubens and far too crude humour.What saddens me is the game actually has potential as a TV show. Perhaps someday we'll forget this fiasco and go about doing the show right.
christoperj It simply tried too hard to be funny -- and ended up nothing like the video game that started it all. It was a shame, because there was a lot of hope for this thing when the previews came out. . . but after the first couple of episodes -- there was just no point in watching
Brandon Hall It's good to see Paul Reubens back on television with this very hilarious comedic game/variety show. It stars Paul Reubens as we all remember as Pee-Wee Herman. My favorite part of this show is the $2,000,000 question, every second that goes by the dollar value drops, something always distracts our hose Troy Stevens, brilliantly played by Paul Reubens. It comes on ABC Wednesday nights and it's worth checking it out! I give it a 10 out of 10!!
peeweehoglie This game show is the funniest game show I ever watched. The questions are funny, the $2,000,000 question is hilarious and the Jack Attack is also funny. If you don't like watching very funny game shows, then You Don't Know Jack!
