I loves space cases, and I rewatched it a few years ago and still held up as a geat sci-fi show for kids. It was a show that didn't appeal to me at all but one day watched it since there was nothing else and liked it. Definitely underrated.

I remember the Tomorrow People very vaguely and was a huge fan but it didn't air very often. I've never rewatched it since the synopsis on wikipedia makes it seem terrible. Are you afraid of the dark? I think everyone remembers and gets constant praise. It's pretty good for what it was and definitely scary for kids. I was never a big fan of Wild and Crazy kids or Double Dare but did love Legends of the Hidden Temple, Gutz and Figure it Out when it came to game shows.

I can only hope they're in need of some past contestants, because...I would do this again in a heart beat!

I sort of was, yeah.
In the early nineties they took double dare on the road, this was right about the time they were building their theme park in Florida.

After a couple of audition trials my family and I got to do an episode of Double Dare in a local sporting Arena.
Marc and Robin were there, and we could all the way through the obstacle course with like 10 seconds to spare.
And that is how I came to have a Sega Genesis.

I've never been a big fan of game shows, the only ones I've loved have been Nicks for the most part:

Legends of the Hidden Temple, Figure it Out and Global Guts.

I was lucky enough that a Nickelodeon show used to come to the amusement park of my home town for a summer(or 2) where they had an event called "U Pick Nick and because I went so often I got to participate twice.

The event was a mixture of the different game shows with each "round" being a different game from one of the many shows. I got to build the Silver Monkey, answer random Nick trivia, Solve a Nick Puzzles and got slimed!

I used to go to Universal Studios Florida a lot but sadly I never saw a show being filmed let alone participate but it was always my dream so the U Pick Nick show was the next best thing.

That's pretty rad. There was an Australian version that ran from 89 to 92, on free to air TV (the only kind of TV there was at the time). I would have loved to have played Double Dare, but I don't know if they ever came to the West coast.

I'm hoping the new Double Dare goes back to 2-player teams. For some reason, Double Dare 2000 was just so-so to me because its teams were families. Another thing I noticed about DD2K was that there was always one physical challenge per round. When I got to watch reruns of the original, I saw that more than one physical challenge could happen in one round.

By the way, GUTS has already had a revival.

I wonder how revivals would work for other games shows like Finders Keepers, Think Fast, Get the Picture, Nick Arcade, and Make the Grade.
