 Street Smarts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
"Street Smarts" is played between two contestants (usually man vs. woman) who try to predict how 3 people (known as "street savants") in pre-taped location pieces responded to a variety of general knowledge questions.
Originally, the show was to have 3 "field reporters" who would appear on location w/the street savants and ask the questions, w/the main host appearing only in the studio.
The show's strong point is the (mostly unintentional) humor that comes from the often outrageously incorrect answers given to questions asked of the street svants, as well as the sometimes unusual nature of the savants themselves.

At Game Show Congress 3, paying tribute to his former boss as GSC's Career Community Service Award was established in the name of Edwards, Tom Kennedy said: "Ralph Edwards was true blue, gold-plated, and a dictionary definition of the word integrity." Those were not words written by a p.r specialist.
Yet, Edwards was quick to include the influence of game shows in her career and trotted out an assortment of those who saw the talent she had in making their games come alive.
The show, created by Ralph Edwards, enjoyed a nine-year run on NBC from 1952-61 and returned for short syndication runs in 1971-72 and 1983-84, as well as NBC specials in 1986-87 and a one-time hour in the mid-1990s.

The game is boring and hardly innovating (the "lets ask the guys a question only women should know" thing is a bit old) and the contestants seem overly pumped considering the paltry prizes they are playing for.

It seems like so many new game shows today are trying desperately to "pull incredibly young demos," as the Street Smarts press release so laughingly boasted its show would, that the contestants they choose force the game to suffer in the process.
