    No idea how this show is a 5.8...

    Cause its absolutely amazing.

    Great fun EVERY SINGLE TIME. Great contestans and Gottschalk is a godlike host. What made this show so amazing are the guests tho. Due to the prestige statis of the show they were able to get some pretty high-profile guests which was always alot of fun and cool to see.

    All around one of my absolute favourite show when I was a kid. Sad it ended but VERY much looking forward to the special episode in 2020

    Boring. Langweilig.

    Thomas Gottschalk is overrated as a host. The show drags on and on with almost continuous closeups of the blond angelic presenter. In the 70s there was a show called Dali Dali that lasted two hours. I think that the Germans have a predication for these awful 'Generation Game' type shows with participation, guest stars and of course intermissions with Europop music. There is a great deal of self advertisement by the 'stars' that come on board. After all this is the reason for their fame and how they find a public.

    If you wish to vegetate slowly on a Friday night this is the way to go.

    Sad, boring and cheap.

    Great show, great Gottschalk

    This is the biggest european TV show and that´s right because Thomas Gottschalk is a great showmaster and in every show there are funny stunts. But the best thing surely are the guests, international top stars like Elijah Wood or all types of musicians are in the show but also famous german people so everyone has got someone to see.

    I´m a little bit sad that the show doesn´t come so often but thats no problem because if "Wetten dass...?" is coming, it takes at least half an hour more than planned!

    All in all, it is a great an interesting show (i gave 9 stars) you should have seen at least once if you can speak german!
