Shark Bytes
The show seems fake.
Do you ever notice some people get the "name all members of the supreme court" and "what is the third law of thermodynamics" while certain other etnicities get the "what does KFC stand for" and "what is Pepsi's biggest rival"?

I've heard rumors that all of the contestants are friends of the crew and producers of the show. It does seem a little too convenient on how the guy picks-up people and knows exactly where to go...plus have you ever been in a cab in NYC, no on drives that slow unless there is tons of traffic. Regardless, the show is very fake.
What? How can a trivia show jump the shark? It's someone in a car asking questions. That's as much a "show about nothing" if there ever was one. It's something to pass the time and I'm glad it's only a half hour long so I can change my mind at the bottom of the hour.
This has become one of the few "Can't Miss" programs on TV for me now.
It's enjoyable watching all the diverse people getting in the cab...witnessing their surprise and delight when they realize what's happening, and seeing their glee when they leave with wads of cash.
But really, let's be honest here...it's also about basking in the sheer idiocy of the flat-out retards.
"What planet are we on right now?"
"Duuuhhhhhh, can I use a Sidewalk Shoutout?"
One of the coolest TV moments I've seen recently was on an episode with a trio of empty-headed twenty-something females being asked what the dolls represented in "The Valley of the Dolls." They did a Sidewalk Shoutout and asked some grungy lookin' dude who looked on the verge of homelessness. His answer--"Shallow women"--was repeated by these women and proved to be incorrect.
Not sure if the irony was intentional on his part or if he honestly didn't know. Great stuff, regardless.

Cash Cab is the best! Never jumped. Well, almost, when they had a celebrity show...a sure sigh a a Shark Jump, but they aborted the jump safely! Have you guys seen Cash Cab at Night? It's the same except, duh, it's at night and they double the money on all the questions. I watch it all the time!
I wonder if someone will ever go to Harlem in Cash Cab. I want to see a black man say, "yo, take me to Harlem." "You're playing Cash Cab!"
It's way up there.
They always go somewhere Midtown. Never in Upper Manhattan and I don't remember someone going to Financial District.
Probably most people get rejected playing this game.

Never jumped! Somebody please put that option up!
Discovered this show by accident and set DVR so I never miss it! Great idea for a game show!
