Think Fast is an American children's game show which aired on Nickelodeon from May 1, 1989, to March 30, 1990, with reruns airing weekly until June 29, 1991.
For the first season, the show was hosted by Michael Carrington, and announced by James Eoppolo. When the show moved to the new Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida, for season two, Carrington was replaced by Skip Lackey. While Eoppolo was invited to stay on as announcer, he was contractually obligated to another project by that time, and was replaced by Henry J. Waleczko. The show's theme music was composed by Edd Kalehoff.
Season 1 had 65 episodes taped in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Tampa Tribune initially reported that 45 episodes of Season 2 were taped in Orlando, Florida. However, only 41 episodes were produced.
Gameplay
Two teams of two (one of them wearing gold, another wearing blue) competed in various events. The team that completed each stunt won money ($50 for Round 1, $100 for Round 2). In both seasons, it was possible for some events to end in a draw, whether by both teams failing to complete a stunt, or by a tie score. When both teams failed, no money was awarded to either team. With a tie score, the money was awarded to each team. Also in season one, some events required a team to buzz in when they were done. If a team buzzed in without completing the event properly, the other team won.
