TV Total Quizboxen
Tonight, 9:30 UK time, Pro7
Denk! Tonight is the inaugural edition of Stefan Raab’s TV Total Quizboxen. It takes the modern sport of chessboxing and replaces the chess with a quiz.
Five two-minute rounds of boxing interspersed with five rounds of quiz duelling. A knockout can happen in either. The winner wins €25,000 and will get to defend their title next time, a fifth victory is worth an additional €100,000. There will be three fights this evening.
Looking forward to this, it’ll be interesting to see how it turns out.
OK, overall impressions of the show. I really liked it! The presentation was good and as the game got going, they tightened up the transitions from boxing ring to question desks. This made a nice thing to watch as we wait for the next Schlag den Raab. I’ll definitely tune in to watch this again!
As a one off I thout it was quite good fun, but I don’t really have any pressing need to watch it again any time soon. I don’t know how often they’re planning on doing this. The quiz element had some fun ideas, but the sense of jeopardy wasn’t really there.
What was everyone’s thoughts after that then?
I thought that with a bit of work, the show could do really well. Will post the ratings in the morning.
Last night’s viewing figures;
1.73m with an 11.7% share(1.32m & 19.6% share in 14-49 market). Very mixed reaction to the format, with some saying that it is good whilst others criticising it.
Do you know what they’d get normally for the slot? It feels quite low for a Raab event, but it was on quite late on a Thursday.
It’s a little better than what they normally get. A magazine show called ‘Red’ normally airs then. It does ok, but Raab gave the slot a bit of a boost. 19.6% in the 14-49 market is very good, so all round, they will be very happy.
Quizboxen did premiere after the opening episode of the second season of ‘The Voice of Germany’. The Voice got 4.69m with a 15.5% share (3.89m & 28.5% in 14-49 market).
Correction: The Voice got 3.46m in 14-49 market share.
Correction: The Voice got 3.46m in 14-49 market.
Does the Voice are on ProSieben yeah? Those ratings don’t look very impressive for some reason?
They are very impressive for Prosieben. The following night’s ‘Voice of Germany’ got 5.24m, its highest ever audience. I expect it to go even higher next week, and could even break 6m before long.
Sat.1 is regarded as the 4th largest channel in Germany, with Prosieben 5th/6th.
On topic btw, I hope to see bits of the show this weekend, looking forward to watch it.
