Generation Gap

I can't think of one good thing about this show. And the final "bonus round" where a young child chooses the prize is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

Watch literally anything else. Seriously.

Good idea but, it seems like the writers aren't doing their research. 10 year olds trying to identify members of pop groups that broke up in 2016, they were 4. Lots of questions not geared towards the kids ages. Stupid. They don't seem to gear the questions towards the ages of the contestants appearing on the show at the time. The contestants of each generation should be very close to the same ages. Especially the kids. The age difference and general knowledge between a 13 and 15 year old is a lot when you're a kid. The best part is the end when the winning team has a toddler from the family pick the prize to keep. A new car, and a REALLY cool Toy. That choice Wont be available for a second season!

This is what happens when you try to make a show for all ages, it's ends up safe and meh. Plus they paraded out garbage Ryan Seacrest for the first episode.

ABC is in a class by themselves when it comes to making terrible game shows. I don't know how it's possible, but they somehow accomplished making a game show more frustrating and less enjoyable to watch than The Celebrity Dating Game (which is saying a lot!).

Let me count the ways in which I detested this mess:

-Filler! Tons of filler! 3 sets of interviews to fill up the 1 hour run time. This definitely should have been 2, 30 minute games broken up into 1 hour. So much filler.

-The "describe the object" round is weird and anti-climatic for a final round.

-Kelly Ripa talks to all the contestants like they are 3 year olds. Painful conversations.

-The absolute worst part, however, was the "bonus round". Let me describe this bizarre scene:

At the very end of the show, the contestants are told their youngest family member gets to "pick" a bonus prize. Either a really cool toy, or a car. First of all it's weird in that someone who didn't play all game gets to be involved in the finale. Also...what if your family has no toddler? Guess you're excluded from ever playing this game.

But, this is a "joke" round, you see it's supposed to be funny if the kid picks the toy, I guess? But it's the first time in game show history that I can remember a bonus round that includes a "screw you over" element. But that's "funny"...right? (Who thought up this?)

"Oh, that family could've gotten a car, but they got a toy car instead. Sooo funny!" Ugh. First and last time I watch this.

I was enjoying the show when they had three families competing against each other. Why did they change the format to only two families? It doesn't work with only two! It's terrible! There needs to be more families! Even four competing would be good, but not just two! I don't like it! And I liked when the mystery guest was on the cell phone, not in person, I thought that was cool. Also, showing just two mom's sitting there on the couch, instead of the whole audience, whose idea was that? They sit there alone smiling? No good! The new format doesn't cut it. Sometimes change is not good! If it doesn't go back to the way it was, I'm not going to watch anymore.
