What's In a Name

Linda Stortz is a toy distributor with an exciting new product guaranteed to light up the world of play — if she could only find a name for it. She bounces around the history of toy names in order to find the perfect choice for her hockey-themed sensation. Grownup experts lend her a hand -- from toy historians, to marketing gurus, to the toughest judges of all, kids! (under the coaching of former Toronto Maple Leaf great Rick Vaive.) This episode takes us on a journey through the playroom of history -- from the hugely popular (Lego) to the long forgotten (The Test Driver Game at the Chrysler Proving Grounds) to the frankly disturbing (Daddy Saddle). If childhood games still excite you, then this is the must-have, nag-your-parents episode of the season. What’s in a name? For a kid, pretty much everything.
