I've always liked game shows, and this was one of them, but what I "slept through" during my later childhood was the voice of April in person! But this was something that I apparently missed during my childhood. She was used for the first season of the show as the "Lady of the Maze", who described the maze's layout and gave instructions inside the Chamber of the Knowledge. Also an opportunity to see what she looked like when she was a bit younger for those who didn't notice! A nice, fun show with elements of Legends of The Hidden Temple, Trivial Pursuit, and Get the Picture! The second season was pretty good, but I noticed something wasn't quite the same. I'll admit that it's rather cheesy for 1994, but the Family Channel just didn't have the budget: how about a $500 Gift certificate to the now defunct Sharper Image store as a grand prize?
If it ever airs again on TV, it would be on GSN as they own other Family Channel shows (I also liked That's My Dog, Radical Roc Range, Wild Animal Games, and Family Challenge; it felt like an alternate Nickelodeon for awhile in the '90s). But there are just so many forgotten game shows that leaves Youtube as a last resort, unless some brave souls have recorded tapes of some missing episodes. I've found a total of eight episodes from Season 1 on Youtube, and one episode JD Roth jokes about "dumping her in water" or something! Still, it's ironic that the way April is introduced in the Vol. 1 #2 isn't too much different from this show: overlooking a maze! At least the contestants don't have to watch out for rats and mousers!
