Are you allowed to throw a tantrum if you're not?

Are you smaaaaaarter than a fifth graaaader?

Does anyone have high hopes for this show?

I have to admit, the promos initially grabbed me. What does HTML stand for? (Hackneyed Television Made for Losers? I can't remember.)

But now, I just feel sad.

Sad, because I know that in 10 years' time, these Fifth Graders will end up on a hideous Where Are They Now show where they'll bitch about Rove exploiting all their glorious 10-year-old potential.

And somehow, somewhere, I'll feel compelled to watch it.

And another thing -- the term 'Fifth Grader' is so American. Can't we at least half-sing, half-whine "Are you smaaaaarter than a kid who's in Year Fiiiiiiive?"

P.S. Does it make me smarter than a kid in Year Five if I'm over the fact the cool girl never let anyone else role-play the Pink Power Ranger on the school oval at lunchtime? Hmm...
