Slime time episode 2
Slime Time is a syndicated game show, running on Saturdays from June 11 to September 3, 1988. It was created to cash in on the success of Double Dare, and was very similar to that show. The host was comedian Marty Cohen, who hosted each episode dressed as a referee.

Slime Time was commonly paired with the kids game show Treasure Mall in syndication. Both shows premiered on June 11 and were cancelled 13 weeks later.
Slime time episode 3
Gameplay
Two teams competed, each consisting of three students and one teacher representing their school. To begin round 1, a tossup stunt was played involving both teams. The winner of the stunt received $25.
After this, one kid from each team faced off to answer a tossup question. Buzzing in with the right answer won $25 and the right to pick the next stunt, but a wrong answer gave the money and the choice of stunt to the other team. Each stunt was represented by a flashing body part on a giant head on center stage, dubbed "Mr. Slimehead." Kids could pick either eye, ear, or nostril, and a card with the stunt's description would pop out of its mouth. Some stunts had prizes hidden behind them; those prizes would be the team's to keep, win or lose.
Round 1 ended after the kids had selected two stunts. For round 2, the money values doubled and new stunts were placed on Mr. Slimehead. Different, nicer prizes were up for grabs as well. Play continued until a buzzer sounded.
Round 3 involved all the kids, with the teachers underneath a giant faucet. The kids were asked tossup questions, and anyone could buzz in. Getting a question right won $100, but a wrong answer gave the $100 to the other team. The first team to go over $1,000 won the game. The faucet would then turn to the losing team's teacher and dump slime all over them. In the first show that was filmed (though not the first to air), the three boys representing Lawrence Junior High School (of Chatsworth, California) and Chamanade easily disposed of the three private school girls by completing dominating the final round.
Winners received a large prize package. Both teams kept their money, whilst the runners-up also won a smaller prize package.
