I can't believe I found this video!!! The adult player in the middle, Sharon, is my mom. :) I was in the audience when the show was taped. They taped a week's worth of shows in one afternoon. In addition to $732 and a bunch of microwave burgers - my mom won a Smith Corona Word Processor. I used that Word Processor for years, throughout Middle School. I was nine years old when the show was taped. Thank you so much for uploading this, Joe!

The Quiz Kids Challenge used to come on my NBC station WRC-TV 4 in D.C. in the early 90's (I was in Maryland at that period).

Hey Craig, great to hear from you. We retired to Arkansas. I am 70 now. I am on FB and IG. I already had a fax machine and didn’t need an electric typewriter so I took what was left; which was a “suite of kitchen appliances “. Turns out they were stainless steel holders for wax paper, paper towels, etc. that had to be installed in holes cut in the walls and we leased our house. Someone built a house on the lot next door to us and I sold them to him. They looked great installed in his kitchen walls. I burned my video tapes to dvds in 2000. Our 4 sons live all over the country so I still had no way to share them. My 42 year old son suggested KZbin. I posted all 30 to Walton Family Videos. What I remember most was how mad the kids parents were that we had won. Hope Sharon sees it too.

This show was a short lived syndicated one, however when we see commercials with 900 numbers, those are not operative anymore, and it did include the Let's Make a Deal Telephone Game which got zonked. The Quiz Kids Challenge hosted by Jonathan Prince, is now in the rerun property at Sony Pictures Television.

More than 40 years after Quiz Kids made its debut on radio, producers Peter Guber & Jon Peters obtained the rights to revive the series, partnering with Columbia Pictures Television (Sony) to create The Quiz Kids Challenge, a weekday game show aimed at the after-school crowd. Actor Jonathan Prince (ex-Throb) was the series host. Johnny Gilbert was the primary announcer, with Charlie Tuna also announcing. Unfortunately, this final incarnation of Quiz Kids lasted one season. The Quiz Kids Challenge was one of five syndicated game shows that premiered in the fall of 1990 and the second to be cancelled, ending on December 28, 1990 after sixteen weeks and 80 episodes. Reruns later aired on Game Show Network. The series was a production of The Guber-Peters Company and Chillmark Productions and distributed by Guber-Peters Program Sales and later by Columbia Pictures Television Distribution, after the folding of Guber Peters Television. One reason why it failed might've been the fact it wasn't cleared in as many markets as, say for example, Jeopardy!, which would've been a perfect companion piece. In fact, Jeopardy! announcer Johnny Gilbert, still going strong today in his 90's, has those chores here.

I don’t know. We watched the first two shows and thought we had a strategy that could work. After the taping the parents were upset a little that we had won. Oh, well. We had fun.

Plus Johnny Gilbert was also simultaneously announcing on Supermarket Sweep for Al Howard (which had premiered in February of 1990) and Jeopardy! for Merv Griffin (a role he still fulfills as I post this comment). But it wasn’t the first time that Johnny simultaneously announced on three different game shows. He had done it in 1985-86 on Jeopardy!, Headline Chasers and The $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime.

@cevancarr4 ай бұрын
Feels like you're watching a Nickelodeon show (game show or otherwise) from the same year (particularly Get the Picture or Guts)! The theme sounds kind of like Make the Grade meets Think Fast (particularly the latter). Also seems more like a Saturday/Sunday morning show rather than one airing on big three stations weekdays in various time slots. Weird that the LMAD phone game commercials used Monty Hall and the 80's graphics/theme at the same time the NBC/Disney/Dick Clark-produced Let's Make a Deal aired!

I liked it on GSN reruns (didn't air in my area) and it would be a heck of a lot better than infomercial, extra local news repeats or some of the court/talk shows.

The Lmad phone game advertised here got MOnty and the company who did the game into trouble because players didn't receive all or most of the prizes they were told they had won, and spent $2 a minute on the phone to play the game. USA Network in 1995 or so ran a commercial giving an 800 to call if they played that phone LMAD game. Monty did two infomercials for the game circa 1992 with clips from 70s and 80s LMAD shows. The 1990 revival of LMAD from Disney MGM in Orlando was airing at the time Quiz kIds CHallenge was.
