Spoons is a fast-paced card game of matching and bluffing played with an ordinary pack of playing cards and several ordinary kitchen spoons or various other objects. Spoons is played in multiple rounds and each player's objective is to be the first in the round to have four of a kind, or to not be the last to grab a spoon. Spoons is most popular among children and teenagers, though many adults play it as well.
Spoons is a comedy sketch show first broadcast on the UK's Channel 4 from 30 September 2005. In the United States, Spoons is broadcast on BBC America. The relationship themed show combines recent trends in sketch shows — dark content, strong language, and recurring catchphrases.
It is produced by Endemol owned production company, Zeppotron.
Channel 4 didn't recommission the show for second series due to low ratings and bad reviews.
