I am commenting on "Make the Grade" because, at the tender age of 13 or 14, I did, indeed "Make the Grade." I was a contestant through a search at our local Jewish Community Center and went on to play terribly at the beginning of the round, speed through a Fire Drill, and answer just a few questions correctly (after stealing the leader's spot) to win. Oh, yes, I also won the grand prize (and, ever so cutely, thought that $1,100.00 was enough to put towards a car). The staff, both on-screen and behind the scenes, were exceeding nice. Looking back, the show is very low-tech and somewhat corny, but fun to watch anyway (my 9yo daughter still can't believe that's me on the video). Hopefully at some time Nick will add "Make the Grade" to its rerun lineup.
