Brilliant categories! Assuming it's legit, great finals booth action.

THIS SHOW WAS FIXED!!!! I know someone who was on it, and that person revealed to me that Ben was told the answers to the questions beforehand.

I'm more than sick of Ben Stein and his bland, monotone shtick, but this was a great, funny, intelligent game show. Was at its best with Jimmy Kimmel as co-host. Probably the only game show that I ever made an effort to watch on a consistent basis. Needless to say, it's off the air now except for re-runs.

Extremely funny despite the sexual inneuendos that the show does with its topics. I swear by the neatly trimmed handlebar mustache of Rollie Fingers that I will give this a 5.

I miss this show quite a bit and am glad to see re-runs on Game Show Network.I always considered it to be one of the smartest game shows ever produced and as educational as Jeopardy at times....plus the questions were so incredibly written.Who cares about Ben's politics...it's about knowledge and fun.Plus it gave Jimmy Kimmel his start basically.

One of the most annoying things about a qu8iz show is when the producer corrects a contestant and Ben Stein with the wrong answer. Ex.: What was the first state to abolish slavery? Answer: Rhode Island 1774. Fact: In 1784 it abolished slaves born after March 1, but not for slaves born before then. RI merchants profited from the slave trade more than in any other state. No anti-slave legislation was enacted in 1774. Obviously the producers had no stem to insure accuracy. -Dave Morrison, Landisville, PA

A pretty interesting game show. Ben Stein is very funny and very smart, and naturally, this show is funny. I chuckle at most of the category titles, and the questions, while challenging, are informative. I also like the format of having the host actually put his money on the line and play the game in the final round.

Hard to really give this more than 3 stars. I am not a loyal follower, but the few shows I have watched I liked.

Win Ben Stein's Money is certainly original for a game show. The questions are certainly witty and usually challenging enough not to be boring, and I really enjoy Mr. Stein both as a host and as a contestant. (What a brilliant concept to have host be contestant as well!) However, I'm rating this show a 4 rather than a 5 because I find Mr. Steins sidekick a bit grating, and quite a few of the category board headings a little offensive.

Win Ben Stein's Money is so good, because he always dresses up as someone famous, and spoofs them, and make sthe audience laugh, while at the same time is hosting a terrific game show. I can't belive how wonderful the new co-host Nancy is. She and Ben are like so funny together, and you learn a lot too.

Ben Stein is super-funny and super-smart. I actually didn't get turned onto the talk show until I saw him as a talking head doing political commentary during the conventions last year. He was so interesting that I started tuning in for his challenging and fun game eshow on Comedy Central.

Ben Stein's great (Buehler...Buehler...) and he makes the show cool. Never liked that Man Show Jimmy sidekick much though. This show will give you some laughs and you'll learn some trivia that is totally useless...but what the hey, it's fun anyway.

Ben is smart and the topics are good, but I just get tired of it sometimes. Good show, but a bit stale once in a while.

I might've liked this show if it had different hosts. How about Ken Ober and Colin Quinn?

I just started watching this show not too long ago. First Ben Stein is really smart. He is also really funny. He has a wide range of knowledge, everything from history, to science, to geography, everything. I like that he challenges the contestants with his own money. The show has smarts and personality. It is a great combination for a game show.

A clever show with an oddly charismatic host. It needs to get in the act, however, and offer bigger monetary prizes than just a measly five grand. Even the "non-millionaire" shows have had the nerve to at least go into five digits.

All programs which give more money to people who already have a decent life and arent starving like people on other continents who dont even know what tv is, are wrong. This money should be used to make a difference in the world.

I love this show. I think it is amusing, tasteful, and the questions are challenging. I also enjoy the contestants and of course, Ben Stein himself!

This ties with Jeopardy as the best game show on TV. It requires some actual intelligence to win, and is funny besides!

The best game show on TV, and the only one I watch. Ben is hilarious. His facial expressions and deleted expletives when he makes a mistake send me ROTFLMAO!
