What's the Story?
TOONED IN is a game show where kids show off their knowledge of Nickelodeon cartoons to win cash and prizes. Each episode features Nicky, an animated AI robot (voiced by Rama Vallury) posing trivia questions to three savvy contestants. The first to answer each question earns money, while those who don't get slimed. The player who makes it to the end moves on to a special round where they compete against Nicky in hopes of winning the $1,000 grand prize.
Is It Any Good?
This entertaining series features young folks answering lots of trivia questions about their favorite Nickelodeon cartoons, like Sponge Bob Square Pants and The Loud House. Adding to the fray is the messy sliming and the suspense of the special prize round.
Nickelodeon fans of all ages will enjoy shouting answers at their TV sets, but they're also invited to play along in real time using the NickPlay.com app. Meanwhile, those less familiar with the network will be introduced to all of its offerings. Tooned In is a great promotional vehicle, but it's also lots of fun.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about trivia. What makes it fun? What makes it possible for us to remember small details from a TV show we watched years ago? What is the benefit of knowing these things?
Why is slime such a big part of some kids' game shows? Would Tooned In be less entertaining if sliming wasn't part of the action? Would you be willing to go on a game show and try to win prizes if it meant that you would be covered with all that mess?
