 The kids' Game Show from the 80s in which two teams competed in "the messiest half-hour on TV", answering questions and taking physical challenges, with a host who kicked off each stunt with "on your mark, get set, go".No no, the OTHER one.Two teams, made up of three students and their teacher, competed. To begin round 1, a $25 tossup stunt was played involving both teams. After that, one kid from each team would face off to answer a tossup question. Buzzing in with the right answer won $25 and the right to pick the next stunt, a wrong answer gave the money and the choice of stunt to the other team. Each stunt was represented by a flashing body part on "Mr. Slimehead", a giant head in the back of the stage. They could pick either eye, ear, or nostril; Mr. Slimehead would then stick his tongue out, a card with the stunt's description stuck to the top of it. Both teams would play every stunt; whoever won would get $25. In case of a tie, both teams get the money. This continued until a buzzer sounded.Round 2 was played the same way, with new stunts and nicer prizes loaded into Mr. Slimehead. Each stunt and question was worth $50.In round 3, the kids were asked tossup questions; buzzing in with the right answer won $100, a wrong answer gave the $100 to the other team. The first team to get $1,000 or more won the game. The winners kept their money and got a prize package, while the losing team's teacher would be drenched in slime.One of the many late 80s game shows that tried to cash in on the runaway success of Double Dare, and by far the one that aped it most closely. Its time was up after just 13 weeks, running from June 11 to September 3, 1988. Usually paired up with Treasure Mall in syndication, both shows debuted and ended on the same dates.

 Covered in Gunge: In addition to the messy stunts, the losing team's teacher would be slimed.

 Blinking Lights of Victory: In round 3, the teachers would have ten lights behind them, one for each $1,000 their team had. When a team won the game, all their lights would flash rapidly.

 Bonus Space: Some spaces on Mr. Slimehead had a prize hidden behind them; picking it meant the prize was theirs to keep, win or lose.
