D-D-D-DO YOU HAVE IT?
GUTS, the AWESOME game show from the ’90s, is being recreated for a new generation of families as Nick at Nite. The new version, My Family’s Got Guts, will commence production on two 10-episode tournaments, (20 new half-hour episodes and two hour-long specials), created and executive produced by the digital entertainment studio Worldwide Biggies. The series will be shot on location at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla., beginning in August and is scheduled to premiere in prime time on Nick at Nite in fall 2008 with the finale on the Worldwide Day of Play.
Here’s how it will work: every member of the team (family) — from the smallest to the strongest — plays a vital role and works together to complete each challenge. Each episode will feature a host and three teams of four players (two adults and two kids) who gather in the Extreme Arena to compete against each other in four rounds of events inspired by extreme sports. The point values increase each round giving all teams a chance to come from behind. The family with the lowest score is eliminated after round three. In the final round, two players from the highest scoring teams face each other on The Crag, a new updated 3D, super challenging version of the original GUTS’ Aggro Crag fantasy mountain. The team with the most points at the end of all four rounds wins the competition.
