BRAINGAMES {5TH ANNUAL CABLE ACE AWARDS
PROGRAM} {PILOT} (TV)
Summary
One in this educational children's show meant to stimulate the mind via irreverent animated games. A mysterious sphinx-like creature dictates instructions for a series of braingames. In Game 1, "Aliens," disguised extraterrestrials descend on a planet and must be uncovered by their slight differences to similar creatures. In Game 2, "Faces," notable faces (such as the Mona Lisa, baseball pitcher Fernando Valenzuela and Smokey the Bear) have to be determined from verbal clues before they are fully revealed. In Game 3, "Earplay," sounds which can be heard in any common household have to be identified. In Game 4, "Odd Card Out," the card depicting a subject that doesn't belong amongst three others has to be singled out. In Game 5, "Mysteriosos," seemingly random lines are consistently revealed to be part of larger, whimsically geared pictures. In Game 6, "Between the Lines," a series of picture drawings must be deciphered to tell a story. In Game 7, "LLOOFBAT," letters must be unscrambled to form words related to football.
