About This Quote
Game shows are a favorite among Americans. They offer a chance to win a prize and usually a lot of money. There are several kinds of game shows, including the ones where contestants have to answer trivia questions. The idea is that they will learn something new from being on TV.
However, many of us learn the same useless facts from these games as we did from real school. In fact, it may be easier to win them over because they’re not exactly real.
