What's the Story?

MASSIVE MONSTER MAYHEM is a game show where kid contestants vye for the chance to save the Earth from space monsters. Each episode, which is hosted by Graham Conway and Devon Deshaun, features three kids competing against each other in futuristic obstacle courses (aka The Megalator) in hopes of making it to the final round. The winner advances to The Mashdown, chooses a fight suit, and must fight one of evil Master Mayhem's (Thomas Lorber) Monster Superstars. Whoever collects enough Power Pods to shoot the monster back into space in the allotted amount of time is declared the champion. If the Monster Superstar wins, the human player must sacrifice him- or herself in the Chamber of Doom to save the world from destruction.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say Not yet rated
Kids say (3 ):

This energetic series mixes live action and green screen technology to create a unique but ultimately chaotic game show. The hosts' banter, and the conversations between Master Mayhem and the Monster Superstars (which sometimes includes fart jokes) will amuse some kids, and no matter who wins, the final contestant is still a hero.

It's all in good fun, and no one gets hurt. But the human vs. monster rounds sometimes resemble crazy wrestling matches, which younger kids may want to emulate. The insults hurled at the Monsters by their warlord are very mild (like calling one a loser) but aren't particularly nice, either. Overall, Massive Monster Mayhem may appeal to kids who like action-driven challenges, gaming-type characters, and lots of chaos. But it's not particularly smart, and there's not a lot to be learned from it.
