This was by far my favorite show to run home from school to watch. I was always convinced I wouldn't dominate on the show.
Used to watch this every morning before going to school. Elementary school that is. Also, it was thanks to this show that I learned about the Neo-Geo system.
I used to watch this show every day before school, but all I remember are the Power Team segments. That Koala Yummies commercial hit me right in the childhood, man.....😢
The voiceover in all local voiceovers is Carol Gallagher, the current voiceover of MeTV

The second season was better than the first. No cartoon but was a video game tournament with four kids a day playing a game for a minute and 41 seconds to get the most points, winner came back on Friday against the other winners for the week and that winner was in the ultimate tournament at the end. Video Power was literally a precursor to the eSports tournaments of today.
On some occasions I could watch WPWR 50 in Champaign with an antenna.
Wow, that took me back to my childhood living room. Thanks!
I remember watching the entire run of Video Power. Thanks for another great find!
Thank you so much for helping preserve this part of history/my childhood. Without people like you this broadcast would be lost forever. 😎
WWOR-TV (channel 9) used to ran “Video Power” for two seasons from 1991 until 1993. Season 1 has the “Power Team” cartoon plus some video game reviews made by Johnny Arcade. Season 2 where it converted into a game show format where it remained until the end of its run in 1993. The complete season 1 and most of season 2 are on KZread with original commercials. “Video Power” was produced the same production company that made the “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” which was Saban Brands.
In Fall 1991 Video Power for Season 2 was revamped with a game show format.
Video Power was Saban-Acclain-Bohbot's live-action/animated TV show in 1990 to 1991. In the 1st season, it has The Power Team animated segments, plus some video game reviews by Johnny Arcade. In the 2nd & final season, it became & converted into a game show format, while The Power Team segments were re-edited and repackaged as a stand-alone show, which was apparently renamed Acclaim Masters, where it remained until the end of its run in the fall of 1992. Video Power, from the studios behind Camp Candy, Kid 'n Play, Little Shop, King Arthur & the Knights of Justice, Power Rangers, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Double Dragon, VR Troopers, Highlander: The Animated Series, Masked Rider, Princess Gwenevere, Tenko and the Guardians of the Magic, Skysurfer Strike Force, The Mask: Animated Series, Big Bad Beetleborgs, B.A.D.: Bureau of Alien Detectors, The Mouse and the Monster, Captain Simian & the Space Monkeys, Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation and more. This was co-produced by Saban, Acclaim and Bohbot.
Oh, man...the only good thing about having to get up early for school was Video Power! By the time I started watching, there were no cartoon segments. That live-action Alice in Wonderland was pretty cooky, and the second part was kind of frightening for small children. ETA: We had Low G-Man. My brother managed to beat it with a **hand-drawn** map of the boss (this was waaay before walkthroughs online!)
Nostalgia Overload For This Chi-Town Kid😵💫🤘
25:14 a wonderful commercial for a really rough game. it's just so hard to do much of anything in it.
Wow I had completely forgotten about this show!

Same. I thought this was part of other shows. Wow
25:45 Jerry Bishop is the voice of the My Secret Identity promo.
I could use a squeeze-it and some koala yummies right now!
I noticed some of the music by Shuki Levi, is recycled from Kidd Video, another DIC show.
please post more stuff like this from the early mid 90s
The Real Scoop syndicated inserts was by the same syndication team - Select Media - who also did the syndicated Today in Music History and Intermission inserts.
I remember watching this show in the early 90’s. I actually sent in a TMNT drawing to the show at a chance for a free game. Going through the obstacle course at the end grabbing as many games you can stick on ya…was exciting. I wonder if anyone out there that was on the show, see this video. This was on around the same time as Wake, Rattle and Roll but afternoon.

Omg I had memories of the part where the kids would stick the games on them but never knew what the show was. Oh how I would dream to be able to do that at a real store!
Of course Video Power was Saban-Bohbot's live action/animation TV series in 1990.
Niiiice!!
I think this aired in Seattle on KSTW. Or was it KTZZ? KCPQ? Anybody else from the Emerald City know for sure?
