ABOUT THE SHOW
"My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad," premiering on Monday, February 18 (8-9 p.m. ET), is a fun-filled, family-friendly competition series from the producers of "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?"

Ultimately, the triumphant dad will strut away with the all-important bragging rights and the opportunity to compete in the "money" round, with a chance to win up to $50,000.
Each episode will feature four teams competing against each other in a series of fun and engaging challenges. The various challenges include: Human Dart Board, The Spinning Discs, Snake Bobbing, Alphabet Soup, Happy Hour, Uphill Battle, Empty Nest, Target Practice, Quiz Round, Scorpion King, Paper Boy Shoot-Out, Arachnophobia, Stinger and for the final team --the "Money" round.
