Game Time: Get The Picture (1991)

 At first glance, Nickelodeon's short-lived game show, Get The Picture, was derived from Concentration due to the puzzle board. However, this was not a rebus puzzle game. Instead, two teams of children played a quiz game to earn squares on the puzzle before they could solve said puzzle.

Mike O'Malley served as MC for the series' run, which encompassed two "seasons" in the same calendar year. The show, like all of Nick's original series at the time, was taped at Universal Studios in Orlando. After production ended, Nick kept Picture on the schedule until 1993.

O'Malley moved on to the action sports show, Nick Guts, before turning to acting (i.e. Yes, Dear).

Here's a sample episode from the summer of 1991:


The coveralls were standard issue attire for the kiddo's on the Nick game shows of the period.

Rating: A.
