CHILD SUPPORT
January 5, 2018  | By David Bianculli

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

SERIES PREMIERE: This new game show is a throwback of sorts to Kids Say the Darndest Things, a feature presented originally on the radio and TV versions of Art Linkletter’s House Party – but that was back in the Forties, Fifties, and Sixties. A revival ran decades later, in the late Nineties, but that was hosted by Bill Cosby, whose legacy is a lot more problematic at the moment. (And probably forever.) But Ricky Gervais still sees the value, and the humor, in having adults listen to what young kids say when asked direct questions – and he’s in charge, and occasionally on camera, for this new game show. And it’s hosted by a former child actor who used to say funny things himself: Fred Savage, once known as Kevin Arnold on ABC’s The Wonder Years.
