You expect exhaustive coverage from the wiki, and the 5th Grader article didn't disappoint. There were thorough accounts of gameplay, cast members, big winners, related merchandise, references in popular culture, and Jeff Foxworthy knows what else.
Maybe my favorite item was Sesame Street's version, Are You Smarter Than an Egg Layer hosted by Jeff Bawksworthy, with chickens instead of kids. For the more adult inclined, MAD TV tried a parody called Are You Smarter Than a Tranny Hooker. (Now that I think about it, whatever happened to MAD TV? Oh yeah, the SNL knockoff eventually expired after Fox gave up on dethroning the NBC show.)
Anyway, no wiki is reliable. But the game show wiki has saved me a lot of time, and I try to check any tidbits I use.
