I got 4/6 and had a fifth on my tongue for the last 30 seconds, but couldn't close. I am ashamed of myself.
EDIT: If you want to take the quiz, take it before looking at replies. Some names might get thrown around in the replies.
what was the rock's name? Was it Olmac?
Good call. I had to look it up, but it was Olmec. It always pissed me off when the teams would spend forever in one of the chambers, wasting essentially the entire time.
It was awfully strange to see that guy/thing talking about fellatio.
I hated those creepy pedophile temple guards...
the SHRINE of the Silver Monkey!!
Hardest god damn room of the temple for most teams.
So frustrating - I would constantly yell at the TV when they couldn't put the 3 pieces together.
Also, the temple guards scared the shit out of me.
I think the thing that pissed me off the most was when they got stuck in that room of foam blocks before entering the real chambers. The one that had two doors on the top floor and one down in the blocks.
I don't know if I should be happy or sad about this.
I'm guessing we were all born in the mid to late 80's to have a true love for this show.
I used to name my IM soccer teams after the Legends teams every semester
Got myself a Purple Parrots (since they were my team to root for) shirt last year. Love it.
If I ever saw anyone with one of these shirts, they would automatically have the utmost respect from me.
I used to think that would be great, but then Halloween a couple years back I saw probably 10 people wearing them. Kinda ruined the uniqueness of it for me.
I couldn't even remember the color. Pathetic.
loved this show. loved loved loved this show. I'm so happy to see a thread on it because it brings back so many happy memories. I always wanted to be on this show along with GUTS. The GUTS theme song was my favorite.
Pop Quiz: What was the female sideline reporter/introducers name?
And she was British.
that would be Mo
"TO THE LEADERBOARD, MO!"
Anyone else see Mike O'Malley on Parenthood this week? (Ron Howard's new NBC show)
He loooks weird without a hat.
Agreed on GUTS. Legends of the Hidden Temple was for nerds. Real athletes tested their mettle against the giant foam boulders and white confetti blizzard of the Aggro Cragg!
Damn. I want a piece of the Cragg. Even if it does emit radiation.
Back when it had lots of gameshows and made you want to go to Orlando really bad.
Ah the good old days...
And as much as I watched this show, I simply cannot remember the team names. If I had a picture of the shirts, I might be able to do it, but alas, I don't have them off the top of my head.
Definitely yelled at the TV when somebody couldn't put the stupid monkey together though.
Because of Nickelodeon I had an obsession with all things Gak.
Nick Arcade ftw.
legends of the hidden temple was my second favorite show...but Nick Arcade was by far the best. I always wanted to go into a video game and hop around to try and beat it.
This was one of the best shows of the 90's. One of the funniest halloween costumes I have ever seen is someone dressed up as Kurt Fogg, the host. To some people he may look like a denim shirt, khaki short wearing creep with a utility belt that held his microphone. To me he was a god among men of game show hosts.
that costume would have been epic if at any party he arrived to he would have been lowered into the room from the ceiling
...in 25 seconds. Not sure what that says about me. An ex of mine gave me a Green Monkeys shirt a few years back. Probably never should've ended it...
Yes, it might not get me a good job, or a raise, or a girl at a bar (unless she is really amazing)...but I take pride that I did great on this quiz. This show was awesome. The best part of it was when Olemec would lower the gate to the temple and would make a weird, almost sexual groan...its good to know my maturity level is high
Red Jaguars...I did the first 5 in like 20 seconds and then typed red in the box and sat there for the last minute and 40 and couldn't think of the mascot for red. Ugh...disappointed in myself.
I vaguely remember that show being pretty entertaining.
What was the name of the show where kids used to run into a house and rummage through rooms looking for puzzle peices. Was this the same show? Was this even a show? Am I losing it?
And it baffles my mind that seasons of the following are not available on DVD:
Salute Your Shorts
Hey Dude
Doug (Yes, Doug)
Am I missing any?
-Bobby Butnick
Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, and Saved By The Bell helped shape my childhood. The fact that Hey Dude and Salute Your Shorts reruns are not any any of Nickelodeon's dozen channels is a crime. I'm convinced someone got fired from Nickelodeon and destroyed them, that's the only possible excuse isn't it?
...it was Ugg.
I may be showing my age but Double Dare was huge when I was at the kid game show age.
