Battle of the Generations

Really not as bad as others are saying that it is, it is a decent trivia show and I could see it being even more enjoyable for a family where there are multiple generations watching it together.

With categories covering many different areas and multiple generations it also offers some added knowledge to anyone watching and makes it easy to pick up on stuff from a timeline that you are not the most familiar with.

If you like game shows and trivia you should really give this a try, the corny moments and bad jokes do not make it unwatchable and you may like it a lot more than the few that reviewed this before me.

So in conclusion don't avoid this show solely based on a few bad reviews, give it a shot. And the host Lily Singh does a fine job I think its the clearly intentionally bad humor that people aren't so fond.

This show idea had the potential to be really good, but it's just atrocious. The pacing is too slow. I shouldn't feel bored watching a game show. The dumbest contestant ended up playing for the main prize. He gets almost every final question wrong, but because there are a million second chances, he still wins. The questions are really basic. The format would work better if the contestants all played against each other in a much faster pace. The elimination of contestants is more luck based rather than on their trivia skills. The host tries too hard with cheesy puns. The big prize is $25,000. Don't waste your time.

Had a hard time watching the first episode. The dialogue feels so scripted, forced and artificial with cheesy one-liners and cocky contestants.. The host needs to cut down on the energy drinks and contestants need to answer the questions without turning it into a blog-esque thesis. No way this show lasts. Must be one of those filler shows to keep people employed. The set is insanely large and disproportionate and some of the camera views show a disconnect between the host snd contestants. The premise of the show has potential, the execution has failed miserably. I'd rather watch paint dry than continue watching this train wreck.

I really wanted to like this show. I like the premise and thought it would be great to get some trivia knowledge spanning 4 generations. However the pace is just too slow. Even after the intros for each contestant the questions are too few and the answer far too long winded. The set design looks modern but at times it feels like the host and contestant could be in different rooms. And the lack of a studio audience, to react, also gives the show an artificial feel. Speed up the show, add more quick questions and forget all the back and forth chatter. And Lilly, you are a good host, just stop trying so hard and always having a one-liner. This is not your late night show. I gave show 1 my full attention and show two was split into several viewings. Haven't even wanted to try the third show yet! Sadly I feel I am being generous with two stars.

Lily Singh was pretty much canceled...hasn't she gotten the memo? She offended and maligned several groups of people while making her millions. She appropriates whatever culture will make her seem "cool". She despises men in particular, Caucasian ones the most, of course, and over the years, clearly lost the spirit of fun and "kindness" that made her so popular on youtube. She obsesses over her numerous "identities" that literally no one cares about at all.

Found an interesting tidbit from a co-worker too: "I am a TV industry veteran and I work on the crew of Lilly Singh's new Battle of the Generations CTV game show. I am flabbergasted at how bad Lilly Singh is as a television host. She can not read off a teleprompter without flubbing her lines every two takes. She mispronounces easy names and words. Our crew works until 9pm every night because we have to do dozens of re-takes to fix her mistakes.

This is the real reason Lilly Singh complains on her gram about how tired she is. It is her own fault for being unprepared and unable to do basic TV gameshow hosting tasks like reading a few lines off a screen without errors. She makes everyone on set work an hour later than we need to because of her incompetence.

Lilly Singh did an insta story on how negative comments are not really constructive criticism if you don't know the person. Whelp, I work 14 hour days on your show Lilly so I do know you, and everyone there including you can vouch that what I say is true about you making constant errors and having to do pickups that delay production for hours. We are fed up and it's sad that NBC and CTV hire unqualified YouTubers like her rather than pros to host shows."
