Here in the UK we used to have Finders Keepers but it got taken of the air! Anyway, there was an audience and there was a house! Part of the house was cut so the audience could see what's going on! It was a bit like MXC (over here called Takeshi's Castle) but for kids! They went through levels here in the UK but then they went into a really smelly room (last level to gamble) and all the audience went "Gamble! Gamble!" and if they said gamble: "OLAY!" that was funny. It was quite good but it was a bit boring!

What Parents Need to Know
About Finders Keepers
Parents need to know that one of the hosts of this series pretty clearly hated his job and was prone to having fun at the expense of his colleagues, his writers, and occasionally his kid "guests." Younger kids won't notice, but older ones may smell the sense of failure and pity the guy. The room-trashing example the show sets is a bit iffy, but it's made pretty clear that kids shouldn't try it at home.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about who should win -- for example, was the red team really first in that round? They can also discuss the importance of smart strategy. Should the team figure out the clues first, so they know what they're looking for, or just trash the room and hope they find it?
