What’s This TV Show About?
An NBC game show featuring contestants between the ages of eight and 12, Genius Junior is hosted by Neil Patrick Harris. The TV series showcases incredibly bright children facing off against each other and the clock. As the game unfolds, they compete to solve increasingly difficult quizzes. Subjects range from geography, math, and spelling, to feats of memory, and more. At the end of each episode, that week’s winning team gets to face “The Cortex,” a tough intelligence test which provides the players with the opportunity to build up their prize fund. The winning team leaves with a “Genius Junior” grant, to help them prepare for their future.

We hope for a second season.. these kids are amazing. My family loves it, watched every episode no half naked people with filthy words no one eating bugs . Just great showing of gods little miracles . Mr. Patrick we hope to see you next season.
This is the best thing NBC has going, and such a refreshing change of pace from the massive mounds of dreck on pretty much every channel. These kids are phenomenally gifted, check them out.
Please renew it. Little Geniuses is a great way to showcase the things that good kids are doing. Too much TV shows the troublemakers anymore
