CMT Picks Up "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader"

Having a hard time figuring out if this is repeats of the network version, or if they're going to be running the daily version concurrently with syndication.

Well, Twentieth Television is the one working on the syndicated show. The phrase "As part of the deal, CMT and Twentieth will work together to produce themed episodes of the series" would make me think it refers to a current situation, along with "will premiere as a daily strip on CMT on Monday, Sept. 21," which I THINK would be its syndication debut date.

This is certainly interesting. It reminds me of the way the Wendy Williams Show airs nightly on BET after a broadcast in nationwide syndication. It's even more interesting when you remember that MyNetworkTV will also air the program in primetime Tuesday nights.

The presence of Mr. Foxworthy alone does not make a program worthy for CMT.
There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the proper wrapping of microphone cables.

Greg did, for starters. ;-)

Now celebrating his 22nd season on GSF!

That gives you three ways to watch the syndicated "5th Grader" every week now- your syndicated market, MyNetworkTV & now CMT.
