First, some (hopefully) constructive criticism. rebelwrest, you have a tendency to make bold statements about things you do not know. If you don't know whether WBSM was the first "hard quiz" cable game show, you should phrase it as a question about which you are completely unsure, rather than try to sound like you know the answer already when you do not. There's no shame in not knowing the answer to a question. But come out and say it. (EDITED for my own clarity.)
Also, you seem to have some occasional . . . trouble with the English language. When you asked if WBSM was the first "intelligence game show", well, that phrase is kinda silly and vague. We have no way of knowing that you're asking about a "hard quiz" unless you say "hard quiz".
Third, the last thing you want to do in any situation where others are making fun of you (rightly or wrongly) is to start constantly saying "well, I hope I don't say something foolish this time!" You are handing the irony out on a platter when you do that. Being humble, yes. Maybe asking politely about what the problem is, or e-mailing a mod for some advice, yes. Setting yourself up for more falling, no.
And finally, how are you defining "hard quiz"? Does Make the Grade qualify? Wink's Trivial Pursuit?

Thank You
I will try to define it; although as my management professor pointed out, the more you know about a subject, the harder it is to define.
Hard Quiz- A quiz show for which at most of its questions are consider hard for the average intelligence of the show's intended demographic.
I did not have Nickelodeon when Make the Grade came on, so I don't know if the were considered hard for its audience. Also, I was 9 when Trivial Pursuit went off the air, so I have no clue there.
Without sufficient information I cannot render a verdict in whether those game show qualify as a hard quiz according to my definition.
