Wild and Crazy Kids

Dubbed as "the show that goes anywhere and does anything to find kids having fun", this Nickelodeon Game Show (term used loosely) from The Nineties featured teams of kids playing games ranging from summer camp-style contests to different takes on sports; several episodes also took place at amusement parks or water parks.

Revived in 2002 for a brief period, with episode names all containing "WACK".

Game Show Tropes in use:

 * Game Show Host: Annette Chavez (later replaced by Jessica Gaynes), Omar Gooding, and Donnie Jeffcoat on the original. Mati Moralejo hosted the revival.


 * Color Coded for Your Convenience: Each team had a different colored shirt with the show's logo; these varied per game.
 * Covered in Gunge: Many of the games (it was Nickelodeon after all), especially toward the end of the run.
 * Crossover: Marc Summers (from Double Dare and What Would You Do? made appearances on several occasions to play some of the games.
 * Every Episode Ending: Usually a closing skit similar to The Teaser (see below).
 * Food Fight: A pie fight originally set up to be a structured "kids vs. counselors" contest very quickly turned into a free-for-all.
 * Pie in the Face: See previous entry, although that wasn't nearly the only time it was used.
 * Product Displacement: Somebody really didn't like Nikko. Several games involved destroying said company's remote-controlled cars, with said brand name edited out (rather poorly) via a black box that "floated" over it on-screen.
 * Recycled Soundtrack: The show started using Alan Ett's music library about halfway through the run; these tracks would later appear on a sister show created by the network, What Would You Do? Makes sense in that both shows were produced by Woody Fraser.
 * Rule of Three: Three hosts, each of which was responsible for one of the episode's games.
 * Special Guest: Many, especially in the very last episodes (Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Michael Fishman, and Lark Voorhies, just to name a few).
 * Stuff Blowing Up: One or two games featured sandcastles being blown up; another game had kids pushing random plungers to blow up large balls filled with popcorn.
 * The Teaser: Every episode, involving a skit with the hosts talking about the game(s), their location, and/or any celebrities guest hosting.
 * Title Theme Tune: The theme song had an electronic voice mention "Wild and Crazy Kids" throughout it.
