Fox does child genius game show
Lowland
New Game Show from Mark Burnett Gives Genius Children The Chance to
Celebrate Their Brilliance and Win Life-Changing Money for Their
Families
From the producers of "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?," FOX has
picked up OUR LITTLE GENIUS, the new game show that gives real child
geniuses a chance to put their incredible knowledge to the test and
win life-changing money for their families.
Think your child is gifted? What does he or she know about astronomy?
Can he or she name four major arms of the Milky Way Galaxy? How about
five Neptune Trojan Asteroids? Sound impossible? Not for these kids!
Extraordinary child geniuses ranging in age from 6 to 12 years old
will be challenged to prove they know all there is to know about their
area of expertise.
"In television, we often showcase kids who are incredible singers,
actors or dancers, so it's high time we give the spotlight to kids
with incredible brains," said Mike Darnell, President of Alternative
Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. "The kids on this show are
ridiculously smart, and with its unique appeal to both parents and
children alike, I think OUR LITTLE GENIUS is one of Mark Burnett's
most compelling creations yet."
"I am completely astounded by the level of knowledge I have seen from
these genius kids," said Mark Burnett, Executive Producer, OUR LITTLE
GENIUS. "It is truly astonishing to watch adult experts in the same
field of knowledge shaking their heads in disbelief at the level of
brainpower these young children have. Genius kids often get ridiculed
for their brilliance. Finally, here's a show that celebrates their
true talents."
To play, little geniuses must answer increasingly difficult questions
as they work their way up to win their family hundreds of thousands of
dollars. However, there is one catch: the little genius' parents can
stop the game at any time and choose to walk away with the winnings
for their family. To help them make informed decisions during the
game, these moms and dads of average intelligence may check in with a
panel of leading adult experts ranging from Ivy League professors to
renowned doctors to award-winning scientists to see how they performed
when answering the same questions.
Will the parents stop their little geniuses from playing the game at
the right time, or will they continue to risk the winnings for their
family? If parents decide to pull their child from the hot seat before
a particular question, the little genius still has the chance to prove
his or her brilliance and answer the question to determine if the
parents made the right decision.
The host of OUR LITTLE GENIUS will be announced soon.

OUR LITTLE GENIUS is produced by Mark Burnett in association with ZOO
Productions. Mark Burnett, Barry Poznick and John Stevens serve as
executive producers.

Maybe, hopefully, this will treat the smart kids as the stars they
ought to be, instead of wallpaper for the stupid adults around them.
