Nickelodeon returning to its game show greatness with Brainsurge
by Danny Gallagher, posted Sep 13th 2009 12:02PM
The first network for kids has had some cult classics on their hands. Recently, however, they really haven't released anything remotely memorable, even in the minds of our easily amused, sugared-up youngins. That's because they have really strayed from the genre that made them so great: game shows. Strayed really isn't a strong enough word. Replace strayed with "shunned with the fervor of an Amish elder who spots a member of his ordnung waiting in line for the new Palm Pre."
Thankfully, the network has learned from their mistakes and re-animated the ghosts of their most classic game shows with Brainsurge.
The Five: Game shows I would rock

There are many game shows (several of which are now defunct but still have a precious spot in my childhood memories) that I would love to participate in, simply because I know I would totally dominate. After repeated viewings, carefully studying strategies, and setting up make-shift labyrinths of pillows and cushions in my living room to practice, I have no doubt I would emerge the winner in absolutely all of these game shows, given the chance to play. These, ladies and gentlemen, are the game shows I would rock.TV Squad Hot Topics
