Don't Bother Me I'm Watching... A Guide to Kids' TV

Nickelodeon

Brain Surge

Network: Nickelodeon
Age: Tween
Premieres: Sept. TBD

Calling all talented brainiacs -- there is a new show for you. Brain Surge is a weekday afternoon game show hosted by Jeff Sutphen that makes it fun to remember stuff. Building on board games that we played when we were kids -- like Memory and Concentration -- Brain Surge challenges kids' memory and reasoning all the while having tons of fun. Kids compete in three intense levels working towards the ultimate privilege: being slimed. The show has created an interactive Web site so kids at home can play alongside the actual contestants. Kids can also sign up for the big brain tournament that will randomly select players from across the country.
