Games O' Canada - Action Reaction
We talked about Chain Reaction on The Games of '90 years ago. Marc Power is here to talk about the Quebecois version that ran at roughly the same time as the USA/Global version that us Americans remember. Instead of Blake Emmons or Geoff Edwards, we get Mad Dash host Pierre Lalonde! Is it worth the watch? Tune in and find out!

Rock et Belles Oreilles' parody of Action Réaction, Action Contraction, is hilarious!
It originally aired on NBC, not ABC
9:18 - Producteur: Donald Lautrec..... the same one who hosted the Quebec Wheel of Fortune? He produced this show?
Did you hear that the Action Réaction theme is also the same theme from Disney Channel's DTV?

Discovered that after, Sunset Boulevard by Network music ensemble. It is on their KZread channel. 😁
I don't know if the Mad Dash was still going at the time. But, with apologies to Geoff Edwards, Pierre Lalonde should've hosted both the English and Quebecoise versions of Chain Reaction.

I can only assume Pierre wasn't a big enough name for USA network's liking to do the English version or maybe Pierre just wasn't interested in doing both.
I didn't know Rod Charlebois passed away, wow!!!

My source describes it as a "bicycle accident" I'm assuming he either got hit by a car while riding a bike or it's a mistranslation and they mean motorcycle. 😥

@@marcpower4167 That's crazy!!
This game show first started on NBC and after that USA Network, in the 80's/90's and then again on GSN in the 2000's and then again in the 2015 and 2021 respectively.it was way ahead of it's time.
MAYBE WE CAN PICK UP THIS OLD SHOW ON ANOTHER NETWORK MAYBE ON ABC OR CW SOME LIKE THAT. WE KNOWS.
I remember watching Chain Reaction on the USA network when I was a kid it's still excellent today. 😀👍
4:35 it actually lasted 3 seasons
I have heard of the French Canadian version of Chain Reaction even though I know the France French but not the Quebecois French.
