this list we’re ranking the most popular
or nostalgic game shows that deserve a
second chance on TV we’re looking at
game shows from all eras of television
as long as they possess a strong cult
following or have otherwise been
remembered fondly over the years number
Nickelodeon was a hallmark station for
fun and innovative game shows that were
specifically geared towards kids and the
younger set legends of the Hidden Temple
might be one of the lesser known shows
on this list but it’s fondly remembered
by many for its combination of trivia
physical activity and adventure along
with its impressive Mayan setting the
game pits six teams against each other
in skill challenges and QA sessions
designed to test their knowledge about
history mythology geography and more on
your mark get set learning never felt so
fun which is why we think legends of the
Hidden Temple should make a comeback the
choices are yours and yours alone
number 9 remote control like music
videos quirky game shows were once a
the cult-classic remote control ran for
three years but is still remembered
decades later by fans who watched it
during its original run on a blanket
with my baby that’s where I’ll be okay
the show made the most of its couch
potato contestants by placing them in
recliners and asking them to answer
questions about television movies and
pop culture
what’s more remote control featured
future stars Colin Quinn Dennis Leary
and Adam Sandler in various skit roles
on the show making it something of a
proving ground for emerging comic talent
[Music]
[Applause]
number eight double dare ah Nickelodeon
double dare is widely regarded as one of
the greatest knick game shows of all
time and it continues to be referenced
by fans all over the world as a
stone-cold classic this might be due to
a number of factors one of them being
how friendly and charismatic host Marc
summers was on the show but double dare
was also infamous for its physical
challenges where teams competed in a
series of messy stunts with predictably
wacky results whatever the reason we
think double dare could mimic its eighty
success again and is well deserving of a
second term third chance number seven
press your luck we’re turning back the
clock a little bit for our next entry
with the wildly popular 80’s gameshow
press your luck on the surface this
little game show that could doesn’t seem
to be more than your average trivia
piece with a brightly colored light up
playing board what set press your luck
apart from its peers was the presence of
whammies tiny animated creatures that
would signal the end of a player’s turn
and their winnings via a series of
humorous skits
today the whammies could be a welcome
source of nostalgia for a press your
number six card sharks keeping things
retro card sharks was a crazy popular
game show in its time and enjoyed a
number of iterations since its debut in
the late 1970s the game show focused its
play on contestants who answer trivia
and made value guesses on a series of
large playing cards card sharks appeared
in syndication and on varying networks
throughout the years so why not make
another comeback here in the modern day
the classics as they say never go out of
number five win lose or draw when loser
draw was a highly popular game show with
many different variations airing all
over the world drawing in viewers of all
ages for over 20 years it’s been a while
since the 2014 version Disney’s win lose
or draw aired for young adult viewers
and we think it’s high time for a
comeback Weiner the show was based upon
the classic parlor game of charades
where a group of people try to guess
what another is acting out without using
any words
oh when loser draw did was replaced
physical miming with drawing and voila
instinct classic funny competitive and
easy to play this game deserves another
chance on the small screen number four
beat the geeks maybe this was a little
geek culture wasn’t all that mainstream
in 2001 when beat the geeks made it
single year run back on Comedy Central
the show’s premise was simple as it
pitted ordinary folk against super geeks
who were well-versed on subjects like
music TV and film while a specialized
fourth geek would appear on each episode
with a revolving area of expertise this
format could work gangbusters today
especially among the comic-book crowd so
we think it’s high time that beat the
geeks is resurrected for another shot at
nerd stardom in the CBS drama jag what
does jag stand for I believe that is
Judge Advocate General that is correct
number three the weakest link welcome to
the weakest link the weakest link
remains a formidable example of gameshow
goodness from the early millennium the
American adaptation didn’t last too long
on network television who are much
longer in syndication but the original
British version ran for an impressive 13
series with a special charity episode of
the show airing in November 2017 Rose
hello Ann no Ann did you specially want
to sound like a station restore this
speaks volumes about this trivia shows
international popularity while also
serving as an indication that perhaps
the weakest link is due for another
number two where in the world is Carmen
Sandiego PBS may not exactly be the
first place you’d think to look for an
exciting and fun family game show but
that is exactly where this beloved
program hooked in audiences back in the
90s where in the world is Carmen
Sandiego made geography fun for its
young contestants as they answered
questions in order to track down various
henchmen and hopefully the criminal
mastermind herself head for the plains
of a landlocked country and hide out
with the local shepherds the show
combines skits music comedy and a real
degree of difficulty in a series that is
honestly nothing less than brilliant
here’s hoping that somewhere Carmen
Sandiego is in the midst of planning her
next heist give him a big round of
applause you guys come here before we
name our number one game show here are
some honorable mentions these two
survivors are going to try to get deep
into my wallet and I’m going to defend
my money by actually becoming a
contestant stay tuned you might learn
something
number one Nick arcade we return to
Nickelodeon for the mighty Nick arcade
Nickelodeon goes beyond known reality to
the next level of game
nikka cane there are a lot of reasons
why this trivia and virtual reality show
could do with a series reboot in today’s
market not the least of which is the
current public penchant for retro gaming
alright she’s got one bunch of bananas
[Music]
Nick arcade was chock-full of the stuff
including such consoles as the NES SNES
and Genesis used for the video challenge
portion of the show with one of those
four would you like to play Sonic Sonic
the Hedgehog COO let’s head on over sure
the turbo graphics 16 and Neo Geo might
not be as memorable for today’s audience
but who knows one can never
underestimate the power of nostalgia and
this was something Nick arcade possessed
