Make the Grade. They didn't air the part where I cried. 
I got the most questions right (I think)! The stupid physical challenges (or whatever they called 'em on this show) screwed me over. Whoever got first place in the physical challenges could take someone else's points, so I'd be first place then back to third. Work my way up, then back down. I was hysterically bad. In one, we were supposed to hit a dartboard with a bean bag mice catapult, and whoever hit it the most won. My record: 0. In the other, we had to use a winch/crane thing to pick up paper mache "moon rocks" off a stand, carry them across the floor, and dropped them in a bucket. I wound up grabbing the entire stand and was dragging it across a concrete soundstage floor. Oh, it was bad. Despite what it said when the show aired, I won $100, an electronic spell checker, the ugliest square bookbag you've ever seen, and...I think that might've been it. This was before my growth spurt, and I was so short that my head barely poked out over the podium. If you're ever watching old episodes and see a scrawny little kid go on about how awesome X-Men comics are, that's me.

I wanted desperately to be on Double Dare, but they weren't filming that day, and I think it was Family Double Dare at the time anyway. (It was just me and my dad that day.)

Man, there really is nothing that you can't find on the Internets.

I also owned and enjoyed an Atari Lynx at one point, and sold it years ago on eBay (it had a decent resell value at the time). I have no regrets having owned both Atari systems (although it has been many years since I have owned a console system).
