    Okay, I feel pretty bad that twice now I've had to ask the name of some thing I remember watching as a kid, but this just came to me I swear!

    I must of been about 5 give or take a year, so roughly this game show would have been around 1984-86.

    It was on a regular channel like Fox, or ABC or something. I doubt it was a Nickelodeon thing.

    What I can recall is that it was geared towards kids. Kids were the contestants and they. The kid who wound up as the finalist ran through this huge obstacle course including a water slide (I believe). I think the obstacle course was set up like a jungle or something.

    The host was some annoying red-headed guy.

    I hope I gave enough info. :roll:

      The show was called "Fox's Fun House" on... Fox. Go figure. And the annoying host was none other than J.D. Roth Hope this helps...

        Perfect! Thanks so much!

        I'm one of those people that will just continue to be bugged by something I can't remember, so where else is a better place to ask? lol

                  J.D. Roth is indeed annoying. He used to host Gamepro TV with the even more annoying Brennan Howard :lol:

                  He also co-hosted that stupid Sex Wars game show with the sexy (yet also annoying) Jennifer Cole :lol:

                  now I believe he hosts the Survivor rip-off kids show Endurance

                    I wanted to be on that show sooooo bad. My friend and I would sit and plot what prizes we would try to get in the obstacle course. Would we take the money or the prizes? The obstacle course in itself just looked like a blast.
                    I don't know about you, Miss Kitty, but I feel so much... yummier
