Acting Crazy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acting Crazy was an early-to-mid-1990s television game show. Produced by Blair Murdoch, and shot at the CKVU-TV studios in Vancouver, it was hosted by Wayne Cox. The format of the show was based on the game of charades.
Each episode of Acting Crazy featured two teams of four, each having one contestant, one celebrity and two house players, playing several rounds. In each round, one member of each team was brought out onto the centre stage and given a charade to act out to his or her team. That person had one minute to successfully communicate to his/her team whatever (s)he was given. The time it took to complete each charade was added to a score for each team, and at the end of the show, the team which had acted out all of its charades in the fastest aggregated time won a prize for its contestant, and the champion would return the next day to defend against a new player. Should the reigning champion win 5 straight games, he/she would receive a chance to select prizes from the "Acting Crazy Galleria".
Midway through each episode, the contestants switched teams, taking their times with them, and the last round included a side prize which went to the team who had completed its charade the fastest in that round only.
