 Each week, three teams of five people each competed in a series of competitive games. The games had wacky, far-out rules examples might include: A member of the team jumping into a pool while dressed in formal clothing and searching for five quarters; a blindfolded member of the team trying to throw whipped cream pies at their teammates; and one member of each team loading groceries into a sack, with his teammates carrying the bags relay-style to the back of a full-sized station wagon and loading them in, all accomplished in the shortest time possible. The announcers called the action as per a sporting event, with teams interviewed on their performance after each event. The winners of each event won points; the team scoring the highest for that program returned for a season-ending tournament for a grand prize. One later version of the show used teen-agers as contestants, while another adopted an all-celebrity format.
