Missing legends

Another weekend brings another nostalgic list of Nick shows from the 1990s.

The latest collection of ten golden oldies includes two game shows, and you can probably guess them. Double Dare at #10 and Legends of the Hidden Temple at #7. One of these shows has gotten a full-scale reboot. One of them hasn't, and it's the better show (in my opinion). In fact, I think Legends is the best kid game show ever on any network.

The Double Dare rewind did decent business for Nick, even if the ratings trailed off some from the initial numbers. I don't know why Legends wouldn't perform at least passably for its network. Kirk Fogg would probably have to be around, even if he was paired with a co-host, as they did with Marc Summers on Double Dare. But they would have no problem finding kid contestants to face the wrath of the temple guards and the puzzle of the silver monkey.

Maybe they could even get a live touring show out of the reboot, just like Double Dare. Take Olmec around the country for kids of every region.
