Has anyone else seen this show? I am addicted to it.
For those who don't know what it is ... a New York taxi picks up [supposedly] unsuspecting passengers and then puts them on a game show in the cab.
{Don't bust the bubble I know, I know, see the supposedly above.}
It's like Jeopardy you are quizzed on general knowledge for the every-man.
Answer everything right you win cash. Answer 3 wrong you tossed out off the cab on the spot ,no money, and you still have to get where you were going.
I love it.
Anyone else?

Saw it a couple times and thought it was an interesting approach to a low budget game show. But, I don't like game shows in general, so it didn't do much for me.

I like it... my kids DVR it and we watch it during dinner.
It seems like a huge disadvantage for a person riding solo vs a group of 4... with a larger group it's like getting a shoutout on every question... one person may know 80% of any set of questions... so it helps to have a larger group collaborating on the answer.

Agreed, but it always seems to me that most of the questions are answered by 1 of the riders. Not the one in the official answer seat just 1 of the group.
I find that interesting in a social kind of way.

You sure this is New York? They shot that here in Toronto. Is there an American version?
