Feds probing Fox game show 'Our Little Genius'

our-little-genius.jpgAnswers to quiz questions were reportedly given to prospective contestants (who were going to be ages 6 to 12) on the show created by reality TV pioneer Mark Burnett, says a story by Ed Wyatt in the New York Times. The show was pulled from Fox's schedule six days before its January premiere, though it remains in the works. Wyatt reports on a letter sent to the Federal Communications Commission by the parent of a young contestant that alleges some answers were discussed during a pre-taping session.
