    While the Bible might seem like tricky turf for a TV show, the execution makes it comfortable for all but the most rigid Puritan.

    Whatever your religious beliefs--or lack thereof--The American Bible Challenge is good for the soul. It's also the best new game show in years.

    GSN's new game show, The American Bible Challenge, is just as dull as it sounds, like mandatory fun time at Sunday school.

    This show is very boring and pointless. We already know what the bible holds, so why keep stressing it out?

I am not an atheist, I just think that this show is kind of a waste of time.… Full Review »

    What a great show with a great point of challenging us to stay aware that there is much more to scripture than you think.

And as the show started out. the questions were quite easy. But I decided since I had already missed the beginning of other shows, to stick the rest of the show out. To my pleasant surprise, the questions moved from very easy to actually quite challenging, that only the most versed Bible students would probably know. Plus, Jeff Foxworthy surely keeps things upbeat and moving. This is probably the show that, at the end of the day, sticks with me and keeps me thinking about it. Guess I am gonna be watching this one.… Full Review »
