    Good Game Show

    I actually saw reruns of this show as a kid on the Family Channel (now known as Freeform). Hosted by actor Laurie Faso (who I best know as the voice of Raphael in TMNT II: The Secret Of The Ooze), this game show is indeed a kids' version of The Newlywed Game, as it has three teams of two siblings (mostly brother and sister, although there are special episodes that have all brothers or sisters, or even have child stars from NBC prime time shows at the time teaming with their real-life siblings), main game is two rounds, with the first round being the sisters telling things about their brothers and the second round being the reverse, with the brothers telling about their sister. When each round begins, the sibling the question is about is teleported into the isolation zone (or iso zone for short) so they won't hear the answers, as when they come back, they have to match the answer. The team with the most points moves on to the Pick-A-Prize arcade, where each sibling has chosen six of the twenty prizes (ten for boys, and ten for girls), and it's up to the other sibling to try to match them, with ten matches awarding the two all twenty prizes.

    Yeah, it's an okay show. The best parts is when the kids don't match the answers, as it leads to arguing (and often times, leads to the two socking each other, which causes Laurie to tell them not to do that, as the show has a no socking rule). This is a neat short-lived kids' game show.

    Fun game show

    I used to watch this show when I was growing up. First off, I must say that it was a fun game show. Also, I haven't seen every episode. However, I do remember the show very well. Every time I watched it, I had a lot of fun playing along and watching. This made me long to be a contestant. I hope some network brings it back so I can play along and watch again. If that happens, I will be really happy. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

    The newlywed game for siblings.

    I don't know about this other comment but I loved the show. I still think about it all the time. I always wished that I could be on when I was little. And the way the kids that weren't being interviewed vanished into the sparkly abyss was perfection. I think that the show was WAY ahead of it's time. I am still waiting impatiently for them to re-make this gem. Too often children are underestimated in their ability to successfully capture an audience of their own peers. This show was a winning mix of game and reality-show sibling rivalry genius. I tip my hat to the creators. The newlywed show never captured my attention, but "I'm Telling" just made sense.

    Entertaining

    I saw this show on the Family Channel in the early to mid 90's in syndication. I enjoyed it I must say.

    It was a good concept and I loved watching the kids argue with each other. Although the budget looked to be almost non existent, they did good with what they had. Does anyone else remember the celebrity episode that had Shannon Doherty on it? It was her and her brother and the host asked her brother if she was going to college. His answer was something like "It's not even an option. She is going to college"! Looks like he was wrong...

    I thought the host looked like a creep maybe he was a pedophile and he had a big afro.

    Horrible!!

    This has to be the absolute worst game show in the history of Television. Every show had a group of annoying ugly kids trying to win a bunch of crappy prizes. This show must of had practically no budget. It looked like they found the prizes in a garbage can. The fake audience did the same noises every time. If you ever see this show on quick change the channel...if for some reason they put it on tv again.
