I remember vividly coming home from school super excited to turn on the television set and watch this show, right along with Double Dare. The good ole days of my youth. 🤗
@retroflashbackdude When we filmed this show Finders Keepers had not aired yet, so the first experience I had with how it worked was being on it. It was one of the very first episodes... And I got to go to Space Camp!!!
I'm glad you got to go to Space Camp, that's awesome. I used to watch this and think it had one of the toughest bonus rounds in all the kids game shows I used to watch. It looked like kids had to look for needles in haystacks with not enough time and it looked impossible sometimes. There were 3 rooms left and you guys were pretty quick and efficient. They needed to put more time on that clock. I think they just didn't want anyone to win the whole thing lol
OMG,TH-cam never ceases to amaze me.This brings back soooooo many memories.i used to LOVE this show.I wish I could go back to this age.i watched it religiously! Thanks for uploading
Always was one of my favorite shows while eating a salad or something . Talking like around 2002 when I was still in elementary. This and Brady bunch ftw
Back in Nickelodeon's golden years. When their shows weren't all horrendous and extremely uneducational. In fact, they were not only great shows, but very educational. Even one of their classics-- You Can't Do That On Television-- was educational in a cryptic sort of way. Very interesting show.
I disagree. MOST of there shows were never educational. That’s why I liked them. They were better than the ones today but they were never educational. In fact, the creator of You Can’t Do that on Television specifically made sure his show wasn’t educational because PBS and most other kids shows had that market tied up already.
I haven't thought about this show in over 20 years. And as I'm sitting here in bed dozing off, a mental image of a kid searching through a room popped into my mind. I knew it had to be a Nickelodeon game show because they had a lot of shows with kids searching through junk. But this memory was specific. So I Google Nickelodeon 90s game shows and this pops up. Just marveling at the wonders of the internet, Nickelodeon in the 90s, and how memory works.
yea for real like they hid a item in the talking fish's mouth.... like are you serious? i would never think to look in there in that short amount of time if ever lol
@TheGrungeGamer2 I still have that Haircut!!! My mom did make me get a haircut the day before we taped the show so its a fresh mullet at least;) and it was more than 20 years ago so I am not too upset.. at the time I genuinely thought I invented that haircut cause I had never seen it before:)
This was worth watching just to see the old commercials. Side note, you know you're getting old when commercials from the 90s start seeming as cheesy as the ones from the 80s.
One of the greatest kids game shows ever made! I think this show needs a 21st century revival! Am I the only one who thinks that or does someone agree with me on that?!
@animegal2686 I can remember being really excited to meet Harvey cause I knew him from seeing double dare... we filmed this in Pennsylvania and I think its where they did DD back then too and they filmed like 3 episodes that day so I bet he just did a few days here and a few days there for both shows without any problems...
Thanks for posting this! I couldn't think that fast- those kids were ahead of me! They start tearing up the room while I'm still trying to think of what they should be looking for. The hidden images, I didn't catch any of the hidden image ones until after the kids said what they were.
I like how its kind of.....not professional with the kids being awkward and not scripted, seeing the producers and cameras, and the host messing up lines and being weirs.
@greenwater735 Double Dare was out first and already Blue and Red, and the part that noone says anything about is that we all got Converse All Star Sneakers!!!! They said that they were safe to run around in... mine were bright orange, but I wore them every day for almost a year anyway!!!
I always thought the teams were friends, relatives, whatever. But apparently they didn't even know each other (most times). That's why most of the kids seem so nervous and anxious.
Seeing how the other team gets the points if u don't find your clue in the room (and how hard it is to find!), I would let the other team get the questions right, so they search more rooms, giving me the points when they don't find their clues... lol.
i want the show back too, but i want old episodes re-aired not the show renewed for new episodes

God why does almost every white kid on these late 80's, early 90's Nick game shows have mullets? I guess my mom was the only one who thought Mullet's looked ridiculous back then and gave me a normal haircut... smh
They need to have a nickelodeon thing like they do for Disney plus but they need to have the old shows like this show, DD, legends of the hidden temple, guts
How do taxes work for prizes on kids shows? Do the parents have to pay them? Or are they exempt? I ask because I know for adults, taxes must be paid before receiving the prizes. That's why a lot of prizes on The Price is Right are recycled, because a lot of people go broke just to travel there and stay for the duration of the show. Plus taxes in California are ludicrous.
Yeah, the parents pay the taxes. But the producers uses cash instead of points to ease the amount of tax the parents have to pay. They don't want to see kids heartbroken when their parents can't pay for the prizes
I always wondered what went into the production of this show? How they were able to change up the rooms constantly, how they were able to reset all the rooms between rounds too.
I very vaguely remember this show (I was maybe 5 years old?) But watching this now as an adult, I feel like 30 seconds was not enough time to find what they were looking for. 30 seconds to find a hacky sack in a room THAT detailed with stuff? I mean, come on. Or even the little clear plastic hippo on the top shelf, kids aren't going to look up for stuff at all, their focus is eye level or below.
They should've automatically given each team 1 room to search. I've seen too many episodes where one team has several rooms while the other has none. It's always kinda sad...
if someone at a big network ever read this post they would get the highest ratings imaginable if they aired old Nick programs. 80s-mid 90s nick had the greatest shows on tv and would be just as great today as they were back then
@Mr. matthew smith [& everybody else] here, yes, back on Thursday, January 14, 1988, this then-"Finders Keepers" game show had Mr. Wesley Eure as its previous host[though actually, his real last name's "Loper"] just as his former studio announcer there was Mr. John Harvey[though usually called only "Harvey"]!

Omg I forgot about double dare
And “you can’t do this on television”
@@alwillk I remember watching that show as well back in the day. 🤗
Wild And Crazy Kids and G.U.T.S was the bomb. Those were my favorites also as a kid
@retroflashbackdude When we filmed this show Finders Keepers had not aired yet, so the first experience I had with how it worked was being on it. It was one of the very first episodes... And I got to go to Space Camp!!!
Did you get a chance to watch the Toffler version?
I'm glad you got to go to Space Camp, that's awesome. I used to watch this and think it had one of the toughest bonus rounds in all the kids game shows I used to watch. It looked like kids had to look for needles in haystacks with not enough time and it looked impossible sometimes. There were 3 rooms left and you guys were pretty quick and efficient.

You played an awesome game my man! 👍
Wow...whodathunkit way back then...😅
I went to space camp
badass!
I remember watching this, and Mr. Wizard, Double Dare, and You Can't Do That On Television
OMG,TH-cam never ceases to amaze me.This brings back soooooo many memories.i used to LOVE this show.I wish I could go back to this age.i watched it religiously! Thanks for uploading
PRTTYBRNEYZ: Same here! Best kids game show ever! I think this show needs a 21st century revival.
100$ toys r us giftcard is an awesome prize for a late 80s prize,
Its so surreal last summer 2019 toys r us officially closed for good in ny 😔 im a grown woman n had to buy some toys miss that nostalgic place.
Vita toys r us was the shit when I was a kid
Yo, that's a great prize for now!
If nick hasn't done this already, I hope they bring this show back because I always got really excited watching kids demolish rooms like this.
swensation55 same here man that nostalgia trick

Always was one of my favorite shows while eating a salad or something . Talking like around 2002 when I was still in elementary. This and Brady bunch ftw
NO. Enough reboots.
I hope the Finders Keepers the Nickelodeon Version appearance sporadically on TeenNick’s block NickRewind.

Back when Nickelodeon was gold for us 80’s kids.
The mullet is the great equalizer. It doesn't discriminate. Man. Woman. Child.
Deuchbags, idiots, actual cool dudes with mullets and I met an architect once with a pretty dope one too it really does not know any boundaries
Here we are in 2021 and they’re more popular than ever
It was the 1980s, and was the style. The very shameful style.
Cool, an original run of Finders Keepers "Not a Nick GAS rerun"
Now this is a game show! Its not only fun and unique but it kept kids active. Nick back in the day really had some gems. Shame what its become today
very good quality for being a tape that was recorded in 1988

?q ! ??pp.

I agree, except for one thing....
ff, py54, zj792pwe?
@tvshowkid I taped this episode because I was on it, so it's the only one I have...
Still, awesome piece of history...😁
I haven't thought about this show in over 20 years. And as I'm sitting here in bed dozing off, a mental image of a kid searching through a room popped into my mind.

I want a pair of those glow in the dark Chuck Taylor's. Seriously
WOW I was just thinking the same thing,& I wondering if I was maybe going crazy??!!👍🏽😆
Those producers were freaking DIABOLICAL with their tough hiding places! I don't remember it ever being this tough.
yea for real like they hid a item in the talking fish's mouth.... like are you serious? i would never think to look in there in that short amount of time if ever lol

Such a Time Warp back to when I was 10...wow. The 80s and 90s were fucking AWESOME 👍♥️👾
These commercials are so retro I haven’t seen commercials like👍🏽these since my childhood days
This was worth watching just to see the old commercials. Side note, you know you're getting old when commercials from the 90s start seeming as cheesy as the ones from the 80s.
I was 9 years old when this show was aired lol brings back lots of memories use to watch this show fun house, double dare
me too , then had tuned 10 shortly in october...
Wow! They won tickets on Eastern Airlines to Space Camp!
RIP Toy's 'R' Us 😪
One of the greatest kids game shows ever made! I think this show needs a 21st century revival! Am I the only one who thinks that or does someone agree with me on that?!
100%. This NEEDS a revival
@@LaineMann: Respect to you my friend
Damn, awesome that you left the commercials in. A lot of memories. I had forgotten about this show until today!
The original escape room 🥺

This show Double Dare and Fun House were my favorite shows I was 9 years old in 1988
Where in Pennsylvania and how did you get selected for the show?
@@eqbrim they were all taped in philadelphia at the time...
“Fabulous trip to Huntsville Alabama!” You don’t hear that so much anymore
I remember when Huntsville was this "Must go" destination, if only because of the Space Camp they had and we were still hocked up on that.
Yeah that Toys R Us gift card is worthless now. 😢
I know. I'm crying, too. Toy's R Us was my childhood home.

I ALWAYS wanted to go to space camp. TOTALLY JEALOUS.
I want this show back. I'm so tired of Nick showing Spongebob like 500 times a day
Nickelodeon Animation Studio was established as Games Productions Inc. in 1988 and as Nickelodeon Animation Studios in 1990.
I finally found out what this show was called! thank you you tube!
Bring back this game self Finders Keepers on Nickelodeon
Producers didn't fear being sued back then did they😂
Nobody did.
Kids barely win this game.....
don't worry it was "right her behind the fridge at my neighbor house"
The most educational prizes.
I remember that Dennis commercial explaining when a show moved to a different time slot.
30 years ago...christ thats crazy I used to love this show 😅
truthful mullet, so 80s......so kool u got to be on the show
Back when Nickelodeon was great nowadays it’s stupid
Bruh when the Dennis the menace shows disappeared along with u can't do that on television it was over !
Omg they need to return to these kinda shows!!!🥰
I love this old show! My twin brother and I used to watch this every chance we got. Our older brother almost got to be a contestant on FK.
Oh my gosh, you got the commercials in there too! 😱😱👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The Cosby sweater.
I wonder if the early taped episodes of Finders Keepers inspired Double Dare go to Blue & Red?
I wanted to be on this show so bad lmao
man i wish they brought back Nick Arcade!!
Do you still keep on touch with your teammate?
Just watched a bit of Guts, Legends of the Hidden Temple and now this. My inner child is glowing
Oh man... your mullet was radical! 😂
They should bring back this game show, but this one for adults.
I was 6 years old living in Pasadena California
Finders Keepers should've lasted longer. IMO, FK and Double Dare were the Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune of kids' game shows.
The Toy Store And Pastry Shop Are My 2 Favorite Rooms In FK
I wanna play this game looks like a lot of fun
I always thought the teams were friends, relatives, whatever. But apparently they didn't even know each other (most times). That's why most of the kids seem so nervous and anxious.
Those are some serious hiding spots. Dayum...
At least they were pretty good about it.
Seeing how the other team gets the points if u don't find your clue in the room (and how hard it is to find!), I would let the other team get the questions right, so they search more rooms, giving me the points when they don't find their clues... lol.
Sweet mullet.
they should really bring this show back or at least one of them..
i want the show back too, but i want old episodes re-aired not the show renewed for new episodes
God why does almost every white kid on these late 80's, early 90's Nick game shows have mullets? I guess my mom was the only one who thought Mullet's looked ridiculous back then and gave me a normal haircut... smh
Mullets were bad ass back in the mid late 80's....do you have to ask? (If you're under the age of 35, you probably do and get a pass)
Man I miss this show
I don't remember watching this as a kid BUT damn, this was controlled chaos for real. I love it.
This is obviously an early taped episode. u can tell by wesleys wardrobe and harvey announcing.
They need to have a nickelodeon thing like they do for Disney plus but they need to have the old shows like this show, DD, legends of the hidden temple, guts
I feel so bad for the clean up crew for this show

Those kids won nearly $4500 each in 2019 money.
This is why nothing will top the 80's!
Lol those kid glows look like they give you cancer. Also forgot the times they marketed toothpaste as being a food
GAWD they all have MULLETS! I'd never do that hair disaster on TV! Someone hand me another can of AquaNet!
dratheart it was in the 1980's
I always wondered what went into the production of this show? How they were able to change up the rooms constantly, how they were able to reset all the rooms between rounds too.
The Hulkster is Hulk Hogan.
How long was Harvey the announcer on Finders Keepers and did it interfere with his announcing job on Double Dare?
7:53 Double dare winning SFX???
They need to do a remake of this show and put it on Nickelodeon with Wesley Eure hosting.. RIP Toys R Us!!!!!
@Brandon Taylor Well that fucking sucks. Can't just leave anything alone, can they?
That snare took me all the way back to the 80's and I was born in 91.
Hey Matt! I can do an impression of a blowfish. I never got my dancing lights. And I want a rematch. ;)
I very vaguely remember this show (I was maybe 5 years old?) But watching this now as an adult, I feel like 30 seconds was not enough time to find what they were looking for. 30 seconds to find a hacky sack in a room THAT detailed with stuff? I mean, come on. Or even the little clear plastic hippo on the top shelf, kids aren't going to look up for stuff at all, their focus is eye level or below.
For real, I agree, not nearly enough time. And I had never heard of this show until today. I’m just here from the land of the lost checking on my son
I prefer the 90's UK version with Neil Buchanan but interesting to see the original USA one.
What about the Yellow Brick Road?
Wondering if you can find the episode I appeared in. LuQuay & Jeanine vs Win & Orlando.
Apparently, the higher-ups at Nickelodeon were not fans of this show.
I think they wanted another show that was like Double Dare. With the exception of Guts, Double Dare lasted more than 4 years.
They hid that stuff to well
They should've automatically given each team 1 room to search. I've seen too many episodes where one team has several rooms while the other has none. It's always kinda sad...

They used to have a channel called GAS which no longer exists sadly
Bell is from classic concentration.
I like that you have the air date
I always wanted to be on this show
THAT WAS FUN-FILLED JANUARY 14, 1988 AIRING OF THIS SHOW.
BTW, hackey sack is also known as a footbag.
Back before smartphones and social media ruined our culture
So how was space camp
This brings back so many memories!
Man this brings me back to my childhood!
