Does anyone remember...?

HELP!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, this is driving me crazy. I think it was in the 80s, though it may have been in the start of the 90s... A game show where there were two teams of two kids who would answer questions. I don't know what else they did, but I remember at the end of the show, whichever team won, would run through a stage of prizes and would need to press on lights by the different prizes. (At the start of the show, the partner had selected different prizes he thought his partner would choose should they win.) If the runner chose all the right prizes in the time alotted, the team won all the prizes, otherwise they would just win the few correctly selected. I remember one episode had Sean Astin and his brother Mackenzie. I know this sounds confusing and maybe I'm the only one that remembers it, but if you do, please let me know. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

The Song Thrush

Was it a british show? If so, try this list:

Sounds like Fun House?

They had car races etc in it too.

I remember the song a bit went something like Fun House, whole lot of fun prizes to be won etc.

I think you might be reffering to 'Runaround' hosted by Mike Reid of Eastenders fame.

I remember lots of flashing lights, but hey, it was the 70's.

I don't think either of these were it, though I do remember watching Fun House and enjoying it. Any more suggestions? I know the end prize was just a stage of prizes and if the contestants picked all the prizes their partners had chose, they'd win them all. I also know it was definitely either the 80s or 90s because I watched it as a kid and I was born in 1979. I also know it was an American show. Thanks for your help.

Was it on Nickelodeon?

by the sounds of it it was definitely fun house. pat sharp presented it. there was a race i think between the 2 teams and you picked up these token things and whoever got the most tokens got into the fun house. great kids show for its time.



"Fun House... it's a whole lot of fun, with prizes to be won,
It's a real crazy show where anything can go.
Fun House... it's a quiz, it's a race, a real wacky place,
Use your body and your brain if you wanna win the game."


/edit just read your second post so its probly not this, still the memories.

Yep defo Funhouse, they had to press buttons and collect flags

Thanks for the help. I think it was on Nickelodeon, but I know it wasn't Fun House. There were no flag collections. Just lights sort of like siren lights that went off as you chose your prizes. I also don't think it was Fun House because of the picture the person posted from the show. I know that wasn't it. I think the host may have had dark hair. Sorry. Any more guesses?

Guts?

An american show that saw kids compete each other in psyhical things. There was gold, silver and bronze. It was like an olympics show.

yankeegrl99

No, that's not it either. I really wish I remembered more. Any more suggestions? Thanks!

The Big Dish on TCC perhaps? Probably the most atrocious gameshow in history though...
