Video Village - Foreign Versions

Foreign Versions

Australia had a version in the mid-1960s made by Crawfords for Channel 7. Each episode of the show ended with children singing a song featuring the following lyrics:

Goodbye from video village
That's it today
See you at Video Village
Next time you're this way.

A similar concept was later used in the Canadian game show The Mad Dash, which aired on CTV from 1978 to 1985. Also similar have been Italian and Spanish language game shows named for and in imitation of the Game of the Goose.

Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or versions:

    And when discipline is concerned, the parent who has to make it to the end of an eighteen-hour day—who works at a job and then takes on a second shift with the kids every night—is much more likely to adopt the survivor’s motto: “If it works, I’ll use it.” From this perspective, dads who are even slightly less involved and emphasize firm limits or character- building might as well be talking a foreign language. They just don’t get it.
    Ron Taffel (20th century)

    The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
    Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
