OMG IT’S BACK: Nickelodeon greenlights GUTS for a new generation

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.

Read about the ORIGINAL (and totally great) GUTS here. And witness the genius that was THE AGGRO CRAG!! (later renamed to the Mega Crag, and finally the Super Aggro Crag)

Nickelodeon’s “Spectacular” sounds kinda familiar

Hey Nick,

 If you want a piece of the High School Musical Pie (see story, Nickelodeon high on school musical TV movie) maybe 2+ years after the original movie is a little late in the game. JUST SAYIN….

 Did you watch the Kids Choice awards last weekend? I have some ADDITIONAL awards to give out….

 Creepiest facial hair on a former child star: TIE

C’mon Drake Bell and Shia LaBeouf… really? You couldn’t have attempted to look a little less sketchier for the children? FOR THE CHILDREN???!!!

Most earnest (but also curious) attempt to be hip by a grown-up: Brad Garrett

Is it just me or does he look like he’s been sleeping on the streets for awhile? With his touseled hair and sunburned complexion… does Brad Garrett think he doesn’t need to bathe FOR THE CHILDREN???

Best use of Nickelodeon advertisement: Chris Brown and some children

Now these can’t actually be Chris Brown’s kids, right? I mean… he’s like 18 years old! Did he take them right out of the Nickelodeon merchandise store? Is kidnapping the hot new trend for rappers?

Best evidence that Olan Mills family portraits with color coordinated outfits are alive and flourishing: Akon and family

Seriously though, that kid on the lower right is awesome. Give him a reality show NOW!

So while I was searching for Kids’ Choice award photos I stumbled on this photo of the Naked Brothers Band….

THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE HAVING THE MOST FUN EVER! This photo alone makes me want to watch the show! Those dudes look like a party!
