It's like "Jeopardy!" but faster. Contestants are shown a three part question. You pick the one you know. The first one who buzzes in gets first choice. In the final round, you can answer all three, if you can.
The producers miss the mark, badly, on the remake. John Michael Higgins does a great job on "America Says." He runs this show way too slowly. Higgins needs to sit down and watch old videos of Tom Kennedy hosting "Split Second." There is a reason the show is called "Split Second." It's all in the pacing. The remake has none.
The bonus round on the original could have netted you a car. Now, it's $10,000 and it's way too easy. In fact, all the questions, from beginning to end, are way too easy.
All in all, it's not a bad way to spend a half hour, but the new "Split Second" could be so much better.
