American Bible Challenge: "A bad show"

[Melyssa56]

As Jeff Foxworthy would (should) say, "If you're on this show, you might be a redneck."

[Lingofan97]

Overall, the production values look really good on the infomercial. Foxworthy seems relaxed and competent, the set looks sleek, and even the choir sings pretty well. Gee, I'm prejudging. Don't think I'll even watch the full infomercial before I see the debut.

Foxworthy is at least a very good host, like he was on 5th Grader. At least he doesn't show any comedy from his best friend Bill Engvall's comedy side. The set is great, though I think there are some changes from the pilot to the remaining episodes, though I'm not sure.

I thought Jeff Foxworthy did a good job with 5th Grader and I haven't seen any clips of the American Bible Challenge yet so I'll hold off any judgment until the show premieres in a couple days.

If he were still with us Bud Coyller would of been the perfect choice as host

He'd also be 104 years old, which would make him almost incomprehensible, possibly in a wheelchair and getting oxygen through a respirator.

He'll carry the show pretty well. No slip ups and dirty or not respectful jokes like his friend Bill in Lingo. Before Lingo premiered, I remember seeing many R-O-U-G-H previews. Jeff knows a lot about the Bible himself, and meets with a Bible study every week.

We all may learn something from this game show that we didn't know...I am quite sure we all learned something from the Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?..Let's not put the cart before the horse in being judgemental...

IMHO, the clips of behind scences of this Bible Show would be entertaining..Just wait and see

If it's hard to follow like it has been rumored to be, then I'm just going to turn it off and so will you probably.

Also, the one part I dislike about the show already as seen in "The Making Of...." is the choir. I don't see why that is needed

[BarkerisEvil]

If The Perv ever does game show reviews again, he would probably give this show 2 big thumbs up.

Is Steve Beverly a Christian Conservative?

[Lingofan97]

Not really surprised. It's too much of a Niche show. I don't follow the Bible so, this show has no entertainment value to me unless they make the questions super easy such as
spell the word BIBLE
Name One animal on Noah's ark.
Complete the phrase: Adam and _____

I wish the Bible was the easy, but some of the questions should at least stand out to a casual viewer who attends church and has partly read the bible like myself

[Lingofan97]

If we have contestants on the show like we did with GSN 1 vs 100 and Lingo, then those would be the correct answer

In a word, yes.

My "pre-review" of American Bible Challenge from the blog, with a screenshot of Jeff Foxworthy on Fox News...

Challenging assignment

An episode of GSN's American Bible Challenge, due to premiere tomorrow, has been floating around to various reviewers. Poor little me hasn't been let in on the secret because I'm way down the game show pecking order (boo-hoo). But enough self-pity. I'll watch the show tomorrow and post my review.

So far reviews appear to divide along ideological lines. A reviewer's personal opinion of religion seems to dictate how good a review the show gets. That's an obvious temptation (biblical term!) for a show like this. I'll just try to remain as objective as I can. In other words, I'll try to review the show as if they're asking questions about novels or baseball or stamp collecting.

Meanwhile, Jeff Foxworthy has shown up on Fox News' morning show to promo the quizzer. He also tested the three morning hosts on their own Bible knowledge. GSN is pulling out all the stops to launch this project. They're even running four eps of their highest rated show, Steve Harvey's Family Feud, as a lead-in to American Bible Challenge's debut tomorrow night.

Is Steve Beverly a Christian Conservative?

I think he is. That's why he would LOVE it. Plus, Bible Challenge is family-friendly. That's another big thumbs up to him.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are young'uns in the audience because it could be pretty squeaky clean.

Unlike the Family Feud of present. If he caught last week's second run episode featuring a Sunday School teacher-to-be saying it is a sin to "play with yourself" when asked something you do in the bathroom that takes a long time. And the thing is..... that answer wasn't there. She probably went to HELL for saying that.

From late night to Fox News. Wow this premiere is getting a lot of attention. I am glad to see that they chose Fox News over CNN this time. Last time Amy Davis appeared on CNN in May talking about the August premiere date and the auditions for the group.

Looks like his appearance was on Fox & Friends
