Finders Keepers
Finders Keepers. Thank God for the web. Reminiscing with my staff at dinner tonight over classic Nickelodeon game shows, we collectively remembered one featuring a life-size cutaway house where contestents trashed the rooms looking for objects but we couldn’t remember the name. Voila. Where do people find the time (and resources?) to put together these obscure fan pages?
Seriously though, Nickelodeon needs to spin off a new cable channel for Generation-X-ers, featuring all the great shows from our youth (like Danger Mouse, The Tomorrow People, The Lost Cities of Gold, Spartacus, etc). Too bad “NICK-X” sounds like a porn station…
Ha! Thanks for that. I used to watch that show with my brother and sister. It used to drive us nuts because the real key to winning was to figure out the clue and know what you were looking for. But all the little idiots on the show would just start blindly trashing the rooms and more often than not end up tossing the target item over their shoulder in their haste.
We also used to love that one that was like the Newlywed Game, only with siblings. And at the end you had to race around this giant prize mountain whacking the buttons on the items you thought your sibling would want.
And don’t even get me started on Double Dare… 🙂
