![]() One example: Red Pie/Green Pie, a take-off on "Red Light, Green Light," in which kids had to hit themselves with a pie if they moved on a "red light" or pie their parents once they reached the finish line. On this show, teams of kids identified by their shirt color competed against each other (and sometimes their parents) in wacky games involving bizarre rules and messy twists. ![]() Part of what made Nickelodeon game shows great was the hokey uniforms the competitors were asked to wear-one of our favorites is the simple colored T-shirts bearing the Wild & Crazy Kids logo. ![]() Nickelodeon revived the series from 2012–2013, but nothing compares to watching some of your favorite Nickelodeon stars get covered in green slime as they struggle to fill in the blanks. The show is well-remembered for its "Billy the Head" game board and the "Secret Slime Action" feature-a randomly selected member of the studio audience competed for a prize that required a member of the panel to perform the "Secret Slime Action." If a panelist inadvertently performed the action, they would be slimed by the end of the round. Each round the contestant made it through without the panelists guessing their talent earned them bigger and better prizes. A panel of Nickelodeon celebrities, which frequently included All Thatcast members Amanda Bynes, Lori Beth Denberg, Kevin Kopelow, and Danny Tamberelli, try to guess a fill-in-the-blank phrase describing the contestant's secret talent or skill. The highlight of the network's annual Kid's Choice Awards started here. Nickelodeon and getting slimed are synonymous with each other. Nickelodeon changed the show to Global GUTS, featuring kids from all over the world, and in 2008, the network attempted to reboot it with a family-focused team version called My Family's Got GUTS. Mike O'Malley (yes, Kurt Hummel's dad on Glee) made a memorable impression as host. The challenge was essentially the Golden Snitch of the competition-725 points went to the first successful finisher, which virtually guaranteed victory regardless of the score going into the task. Contestants raced up a fake mountain, activating targets along the way and fighting their way to the peak. The most famous Nickelodeon GUTS challenge was its fifth and final task-the Aggro Crag. ![]() Taking the Olympics as its model (and even handing out gold, silver, and bronze medals), Nickelodeon GUTS put kids in harnesses and asked them to do things like jump off an aerial bridge and try to make a slam dunk. In the early 2000s reality shows that pushed contestants to their physical limits were all the rage ( Fear Factor, Amazing Race, etc.), but Nickelodeon GUTS did it first with its "extreme arena" that pitted three teenagers (blue, red, and purple) against each other in extreme versions of popular sports. ![]()
