Never missed FH when I was a kid...here in NY, it aired on WPIX at 4:30 PM its first season, but then they moved it to 8 AM(!) for the 2nd...thankfully, I also got Boston indie WSBK on my cable system at the time, and they kept it at 5 PM for the duration of its syndie run.
jonnbag, the UK version sucks because in this version, reach the Power Prize tag, you win. UK Version, you don't win the Power Prize until getting a question right. Sorry, but the US Version rules!
Lol. I remember watching this show when I was a child and hating the prizes. Now that I am older I am thinking " A trip to Catalina, a sailing boat, a language translator WOW!!"
I had totally forgotten about this show. Except for the race at the end to see who goes into the funhouse. I always thought it must have been a dream or something.
lol. That's what I thought too! But I remember there used to be a C.O.P.s cartoon that had nothing to do with the live COPS. By the way, they need to bring this show back along with Double Dare. I used to watch this show so much I had dreams about running through the final course!
Heh, nice show ^^ If anyone is curious, I am doing a playthough of the NES Fun House game. There aren't may similarities between the two, but it's still a fun game. Just pardon the random commentary, hehe.
However, I heard that there are some official copies of the NES Fun House game that are based on the PC Fun House game, but are a lot more rare than the NES Fun House games that you were talking about.
And if it does, it should mostly remain unchanged from the original, especially its theme song (which can be found on 80stvthemes dot com slash gameshows). Right now, J.D. Roth is the narrator of The Biggest Loser.
Holy balls, those prizes sucked!
