3. The best part is that the contestants
aren't the normal game show types but literally picked up off the street.

I saw one with this old dude who had zero personality and looked like not much going on upstairs. But he just sat there and got every question correct! Didn't even show any emotion when he left with something like $1400. Pretty cool.

5. YES
I loved the one with three youngsters and their old grandpa. The young ones nailed all the questions and won quite a bit - but the old guy was the only one who knew the answer to the video bonus question. SWEET!!!!!!!!!!

7. Sometimes it just kicks my ass
Other times it seems incredibly easy.

Like tonight, there was a question of an airline company that had a massive layoff. The company gave the laid off workers a tip sheet on how to cut living expenses including rummaging through other people's garbage.

I remember the story clearly, but for the life of me could not remember that it was Northwest Airlines.

13. LOL!
I always wondered how Ben counted out the money so quickly only to find out that it's Monopoly money.

9. Best game show in years!
I don't have cable at home, so I look forward to staying in hotels where they have Cash Cab.

12. I would rock the frak out of that game!
My roommate and I play handicap drinking Cash Cab (you drink whenever you get a question right, making it harder for you). I still usually win.

14. I was addicted as well
I wasn't able to watch it as often this fall, but I still do when I can. It's a great show, a lot of fun. The contestant's reactions are great :)
