''Choose Up Sides'' was a children's television game show that aired on NBC Saturday mornings from January 7 to March 31, 1956. It was hosted by Gene Rayburn and announced by Don Pardo and produced by Goodson-Todman Productions ==NBC version== The show had two teams of children compete for points with the winning team earning a prize. Each side was represented by four children, usually two boys and two girls. The boys competed against each other and the girls competed against each other. The teams were named "Space Pilots" and "Bronco Busters". Each team had an adult assistant who dressed as a space commander or cowboy, respectively. The assistants introduced each contestant to Rayburn. Each team selected chose a postcard from a pool which had been sent in by children from all over the country. The team that won also won a prize for the child whose postcard they had drawn. The children competed against each other doing stunts. The stunts were the type one might have seen on ''Beat the Clock'' (another Goodson-Todman Production). The winning team for each stunt scored 100 points. The losing team was allowed to do something else to earn 25 or 50 points. Their consolation stunt was dictated to them by a character called "Mr. Mischief", a crude figure that had been drawn on a wall that had ears and eyelids that moved. The time limit for the stunt would be set by a balloon in his mouth which would inflate until it burst. When it was time for the losing team's child to go meet Mr. Mischief, Gene accompanied the child while doing a "silly walk" - perhaps a precursor to the Monty Python Silly Walk episode. Finishing up the show was a contest called the Super Duper Doo stunt. Each week a child was chosen to compete in an additional stunt for the possibility of winning a grand prize at the end of a several week period. Because the show was so short-lived, the only stunt that was done for the Super Duper Do was having contestants blow 16 sheets of paper off a podium, trying to get them to land in a wastebasket that was set in front of them. The prize promised was a television set. If time allowed, there was the possibility that there would be a team stunt at the end of the show to allow a team to catch up on points. The four children on the winning team won such prizes as watches or bicycles for their effort. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Choose Up Sides」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
