TV Show King gives you a game show experience on your iPhone
Are you tired to standing in long lines at malls this holiday season? Next time, bring along your iPhone so you can play a game to pass the time. TV Show King [iTunes link] is a trivia game centered around nearly 3,000 questions ranging in topic from music to history to pop culture, and it has a fun side that is sure to keep you entertained while your wife/husband shops. If "TV Show King" sounds familiar, that's probably because the game is based on a WiiWare title by the same name.
You can create an avatar that looks like you and compete with up to four other players. These players can either be computers, or real people over the Internet. In addition, you can host or join a game over a WiFi connection -- this game really has multi-player functionality covered.
TV Show King definitely gives you the feeling that you are on a game show; it even has a host that occasionally interrupts the game to give stats. There are two things that I wish could be improved, however. I would like to see better graphics, and I would also like to see harder questions with different categories.
If you're looking for an application for kids, or any trivia fans, check out TV Show King. It's sure to give you hours worth of fun game play. You can purchase TV Show King from the iTunes App Store for $4.99US.

The grammar in that screen shot seems entirely incorrect.

no, it's correct, for example if you reverse the sentence:
The movie "Antz" is about what kind of bugs?

Seems that way because it is a question, and is actually grammatically correct. I had to read it twice myself, though.

It's also wrong in that Ants are not "bugs."
Ants are insects, and not all insects are bugs (unless you are from the south of the USA and dropped out of school in Grade 3)

what does the south have to do with anything? we know the difference. it's not like there's an intelligence drop south of the mason-dixon line.

Jeremy,
Are you really going to say that you learned the difference between insects and "bugs" in grade 3? I'm quite sure that without googling it right now you can't tell me the difference, or what an actual "bug" is. Seriously, how are you going to flame anybody for using a popular term to label anything insect or otherwise that crawls and creeps people out? Grow up man, and quit bashing the south. Obviously you are completely ignorant person and need to quit trolling message boards.

So which is better, this game or that Ben Stein trivia game?
