Fun game when you have partys. My friends and family have a great time in this game and its a pretty good time killer. Its kinda boring if your playing alone so I only recommend this to ppl whos friends or family come over often.

I was never very good at trivia, I could never remember things when I need to. This game looks good for people who like trivia, but then again, according to Mr. y0sh! above, it's not incredibly fun.

oh boy, i really want to be a TV show king! i could order my TV minions around, like spongebob, and stewi, and how could anyone ever forget hannah montana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JK. i know thats not what its really about, but 1000 points is too much money. you could just talk about TV with your friend and it would still have the same effect, except without you having to pay 10 dollars. there are so many better games for wiiware right now, and to anyone reading this, here is the main point... DONT GET THIS GAME( unless you really like game shows, cause if you do, then i am sorry). i played it at my cuz's house and it wasnt fun at all. my cuz liked it for a couple min. but that was it.

Multiplayer seems like adequate fun, if not more. I just would say to use your Points elsewhere if you're a lot more single-player.

Is it only worth it Multiplayer?I may consider it even ifit is overpriced.

Well Buzz is a music quiz isn't it so yeah it is more fun that TV Show King I would say. Watching some of those cheesy 90s music clips is great fun. Also who can argue with the voice of Jason Donovan? :D

But still if you want more trivial pursuit style questions then TV Show King isn't bad at all. With 4 players it is still very good fun.

Whats this like compared to Buzz? Me and the missus love the Buzz games, so this peaked our interest. However after reading the review, it sounds like a poor mans version.... true?

@ReaperJ21: It seems like it can be fun, yes, but in short sessions. I'm sure that once you start getting the same questions over and over again, the luster will wear off. It may be worth giving a shot if you're into this genre. But I'd only recommend it (I haven't played it though, just Smarty Pants) if you can play with one other person. Otherwise, the game is near-pointless by yourself, pretty much.

It says that it's "unquestionably fun" so it may be worth trying but for 1000 Points, it lacks enough depth to be worth that. If you have a choice, I'd suggest Lostwinds over this, but that's just me.

@Boringman: I have a feeling this isn't the end of Trivia titles that are geared to this target market.

@sportym/shybrid: It doesn't sound like this game would be for you, then, especially not for 1000 Points. The game is clearly made to be a muliplayer experience and while there may be a single-player component, certainly it is definitely NOT worth 1000 to be playing by yourself.

Yes Beyondmany they can update the WiiWare title so they can fix the bugs off the program just like nintendo does with the virtual console. I hope that answers your question but if they do that or not is a diffrent thing.

I do like game shows, but is there any sort of career mode or achievements/unlockables for single player, since I only have one Wii Remote at home and really no one to play it with anyway!

well...im a little confused about this game. I'm not sure if I should get it, i mean it looks fun and i like the mii support, but would it REALLY be worth the 1000 wii points? Although my sis says she might buy it, but im just wondering is it fun and is it worth it, thanks =)

Well I rented Smarty Pants (against my will) and I thought it was horrible. I'm glad you got it for a reasonable price. But to be honest, if you have Smarty Pants, imho, don't bother with TV Show King especially since there are less questions and there are better titles you can buy on WiiWare for the price that it's being offered at.

I'm not bashing the title entirely it's just... it has a lot to live up to and there's tough competition for sure.

But Smarty Pants can be seen as a pretty good family game. Smarty Pants is neat in the way it tailors question to your age group, not to mention the large extensive question base (but the mini-games are so annoying and they get old so fast I didn't even try them anymore).

I already have Smarty Pants (I got it pretty cheap). Is there anybody who has both who can say which one is better? These are great family games and it would be nice to know which one gets a better reaction.

Great review. TV Show King cant help me but think of Smarty Pants. Both are bad in execution one way or another but its nice having this to appeal to said audiences, esp. those who aren't stupid to drop a full price on SP even if they are trivia buffs.

This was a great review Collin. My wife wants to download this one, so I'm sure I'll get to play it at some point. Too many games, too little time. : )
