Foreign Versions
Australia had a version in the mid-1960s made by Crawfords for Channel 7. Each episode of the show ended with children singing a song featuring the following lyrics:
- Goodbye from video village
- That's it today
- See you at Video Village
- Next time you're this way.
A similar concept was later used in the Canadian game show The Mad Dash, which aired on CTV from 1978 to 1985. Also similar have been Italian and Spanish language game shows named for and in imitation of the Game of the Goose.

Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or versions:
“It is a curious emotion, this certain homesickness I have in mind. With Americans, it is a national trait, as native to us as the rollercoaster or the jukebox. It is no simple longing for the home town or country of our birth. The emotion is Janus-faced: we are torn between a nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.”
—Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
