'80s As Fuck

If you were growing up in the '80s then you remember this kids show classic. How can you forgot the teleportation device that beamed contestants on and off the stage!! I used to think that was the coolest thing ever. Outside of Double Dare and Nintendo Power I can't think of a show I wanted to be on more as kid. "I'm Telling" ran for just one season from '87-'88 and was basically a kids version of "The Newlywed Game" between brother and sister. Three teams competed, each consisting of a brother and sister. The front game was played in two rounds. In Round 1, the brothers were "teleported" to the "Isolation Zone" using special effects and a video edit (i.e., taken off stage to a soundproof room). One of three pun-styled categories was chosen at random by hitting a plunger, and the host Faso read a question loosely based on the chosen category. This was done three times, with each sister choosing one category. For Round 2, vice versa. After both rounds were finished a winning team was chosen based on the final scores. Then came the best part, "The Pick-A-Prize Arcade"!! The set was rotated 180 degrees to reveal the arcade and before the round was played, the team was shown a collection of 20 prizes available in the arcade, 10 designated for each sibling. Prior to the show, each chose the six prizes he or she thought the other would most like to have. The brother's prizes sat on yellow platforms while the sister's sat on pink ones. After the home audience was shown what her brother had chosen for her, she marked the six prizes she wanted by hitting a plunger next to each of them. Once she finished, the process was repeated with her brother. A flashing light and siren indicated that a sibling had matched a prize chosen by the other. The team won the prizes that were matched; if they made a total of 10 matches between them, they won all 20 prizes. The structure of this round guaranteed that each player would win at least two prizes. If that's explanation is too long just watch the clip below.......
