Double Dare was the first game show to air on Nickelodeon, that originally aired from 1986 to 1989. It was aired on Nickelodeon its whole run and additionally in syndication for its third season in 1988. Another revival of the series began on June 25, 2018, but ended on December 20, 2019.
s format combines trivia questions with occasionally messy stunts.
Each episode began with Summers saying "on your mark, get set... GO!" to start a tossup challenge, with the first team to accomplish the stunt winning $20 and control of the first round. They would then be asked a question worth $10. If they chose to answer it and they are correct, they win the money. If they chose not to answer it, they would have to "dare" their opponents, making the question worth $20. The other team could then "double dare" them back, and the question, now worth $40, would either have to be answered or the team would have to take a Physical Challenge.
Teams who answered incorrectly lost control, with money added to their opponent's score if a dare or double dare was at stake.
Host Marc Summers typically explained the rules like this:
At the end of the first round, a double buzzer would sound and the show would go to commercial. The teams would then compete in a second tossup, this one worth $40 and control of the second round. All dollar values would then be doubled: $20 on a question, $40 on a dare, and $80 on a double dare/Physical Challenge.
At the end of the second round, the team with the most money wins the game and advances to the Obstacle Course. Each team splits their winnings, but the losing team is sent home with parting gifts, often including a pair of Reebok sneakers and Green Slime Shampoo.
The first season was aired on Nickelodeon in 1986, with a second season airing until 1987. Both seasons consisted of 65 episodes. During this period, both teams competed in red uniforms, and the lighted triangles on the team podiums were both colored blue.
began its third season in 1988, airing simultaneously on Nickelodeon and in syndication on most FOX-owned stations, and on other stations in the USA. The stage-left team now wore blue uniforms, and the scoreboard border and lighted triangle colors reflected the change. Halfway during the season, the show received a refurbished set with a new backdrop behind Summers' podium, and new lighting behind the contestant lecterns. Harvey, Robin, and Dave's uniforms became silver. The theme music remains the same, while Edd Kalehoff rerecorded additional music for the Physical Challenge, as well as the Obstacle Course. The show also received a new logo in this season, initially used in the 1987 adult Double Dare pilots, but it was not adapted for the show's successor, Super Sloppy Double Dare.
The Double Dare set maintained a basic structure in its three seasons, but minor changes were added during its run:
•The dollar signs below the digits on the scoreboards were used in the early first-recorded episodes, and later changed to "Double D" logos for the rest of the run. In the early first-recorded episodes, Harvey, Robin, and Dave's uniforms were red, and for the rest of the season, Harvey, Robin, and Dave's uniforms were black.
•Vertical yellow lines were added to the blue wall underneath the central backdrop in the first season.
•From 1986-88, the physical challenge floor and the contestants and host lecterns shared the same stage. Starring with the 1989 revival of Super Sloppy Double Dare, the lecterns and the physical challenge floor were separated by a step, with the lecterns on the top level and the physical challenge floor on the bottom level.
The third-season episodes of Double Dare featured many new set changes:
•The colored triangles, scoreboard borders and team uniform colors were changed to red and blue to match the teams' colors, respectively.
In 1988, syndicated shows such as Slime Time and Fun House, both game shows involving messy stunts, competed with Double Dare. The latter was especially sloppy, much messier than Double Dare. As a result, Super Sloppy Double Dare was created in 1989, introducing colossal Physical Challenges which made bigger messes.
first incarnation aired simultaneously with the third season in primetime on FOX from April to July of 1988, and then eventually moved to Nickelodeon for a run from October 1990 to February 1993.
The first revival of Double Dare, titled Double Dare 2000, aired from January 22 to November 10, 2000, hosted by Jason Harris with announcer Tiffany Phillips. With less than a year of airing, the show only had two seasons with a total of 67 episodes.
Episodes of the original Double Dare continued to be aired in re-runs on Nickelodeon until 1991, and on Nick Games and Sports from its launch until its discontinuation.
made its return to a cable network for the first time in 11 years in October 2015 when Double Dare was one of the first shows to air on the newly rebranded NickSplat (formerly called The 90's Are All That and The Splat) on TeenNick and continues to air on occasions.
The Double Dare Reunion Special aired November 23, 2016 on Nick at Nite with Marc Summers, Harvey, and Robin Russo all returning. The special garnered 1.126 million viewers and sparked interest in a revival that Summers had been attempting to pitch to the network for years.
