Body Language (1984-1986) was an American television game show produced by Mark Goodson Productions and hosted by Tom Kennedy. The show aired on CBS from June 4, 1984, until January 3, 1986, and revolved around a charades-style format. Two teams, each consisting of a civilian contestant and a celebrity guest, competed to guess words and phrases pantomimed by their partners. Correctly guessed words were then used to solve a larger fill-in-the-blank puzzle for cash prizes. The show was rated TV-G, indicating its suitability for general audiences and its family-friendly nature. Its gameplay emphasized non-verbal communication and quick thinking, making for an often humorous and engaging experience for viewers.
Things to Consider
Additional Context
Best For Ages
TV-G (General Audiences). This recommendation is appropriate as the content of the game show, based on charades and word puzzles, is consistently mild. The themes and interactions are suitable for all ages, with no explicit material, violence, or mature themes. Any instances of suggestive content, profanity, or potentially sensitive topics are extremely rare, indirect (e.g., words being acted out), and kept within the bounds of daytime television standards of the 1980s.
Good to Know
The show ran for three seasons, from June 1984 to January 1986. Gameplay involved charades and word puzzles, with rules for scoring and bonus rounds detailed across its run. The format was consistent as a charades-style game show, with minor rule adjustments over its seasons, primarily concerning who gives clues in the bonus round and winnings limits. Celebrities appearing on the show included Betty White, Lucille Ball, and Richard Simmons. The 'uninhibited' tagline refers to the physical nature of charades rather than suggestive content.
