Great show, even if the 2000 revival came out with Jason and Tiffany instead of Marc and Harvey. Also, you may not know this, but Marc wasn't the only host of a Nickelodeon game show to not like getting dirty. In fact, Wesley Eure of Finders Keepers fame didn't like getting dirty himself, according to Senor Wood's Finders Keepers page. Is it possible that Marc and Harvey could do Double Dare 2000? As for the DD2K theme song, it was similar to the original, but I prefer the Edd Kalehoff rock orchestra tune over Rick Witkowski's surfer-guitar remake. I could also cringe if the Finders Keepers theme song was an upbeat, disco-style remake, and not Edd's great jazzy orchestra score. Better yet, how about a synthesized techno remake of the theme song for the new Think Fast?

Back on DD topic though, does anyone know when the FDD episode when Marc is late will appear on GAS airwaves, as well as the famous blooper where a girl breaks the juice machine prop for the physical challenge, and especially the one where a little girl says she's a Finders Keepers fan more than a Double Dare fan? (You know, I can picture Joe Conklin saying "Every contestant recieves the official Double Dare home game, featuring the unique stunt helmet that lets you do over 100 outrageous physical challenges, yours from Pressman Toys.") Also, does Nick still have plans to revive classic Nick game shows? I hope so!!

PS - Marc, keep up the good work, even if you have to do a new game show on Food Network this 08/25.

Yes, I remember the "Marc is Late" and the Juice Machine incident (it's on the Messiest Moments video, look for that and other great moments). Someday DirecTV should add Nickelodeon Games and Sports to their channel line up so I can finally watch Double Dare on TV again after so many years.
