Late Night TV: Street Smarts

Sure to Cure Anyone's Insomnia

Erin McMaster

I must admit the show Street Smarts is a guilty pleasure of mine. Guilty because it must be naughty to laugh at someone else's stupidity.

The host is somewhat lame, but it seems to work for the show. He's a major dork, which is always a bonus in my book.

Street Smarts is set up like many game shows with two contestants that have a buzzer. They have their own podium, compete for money, a few different rounds to keep the game fresh.

They select three passersby out on the streets. And the host asks them a variety of questions to test their smarts. I think the name of the show is pretty much a given as to how they created it. The two contestants are then to pick who they think answered correctly or incorrectly, or pick a person and chose if they got questions right or wrong as they come along.

A majority of the questions are ridiculously easy. Probably only a handful that I haven't known the answer- sorry, I don't surf on Subway's website to know what they link to.

So if you are like me and suffer with insomnia, I definately recommend Street Smarts for your middle of the night viewing pleasure. It sure beats those dating shows!

    HAHA I totally share your guilty pleasure. Whenever I see that show is on, I definitely watch it. I don't know if it's because it is funny or just makes me feel really smart.
