'Double Dare' to Reboot on Nickelodeon This Summer (Video)

This summer, it’s time to take the physical challenge again: Nickelodeon is rebooting classic kids’ game show “Double Dare” (again) with a 40-episode order.

Nick has yet to announce a host or other talent, though the Viacom cable channel says its new version will “feature appearances from blasts from the past, long-time ‘Double Dare’ fans and stars from today.”

In case you missed the ’80s and ’90s game show or its 2000 revival, “Double Dare” features two teams competing to win prizes by answering brain-bending trivia questions, completing messy, physical stunts and ultimately facing the infamous obstacle course: The human hamster wheel, the classic gigantic mouth, the wringer and the iconic “Double Dare” nose, per Nick’s official description.

Still not ringing a bell? Watch Nick’s teaser/look-back via the video above.

The original “Double Dare” and “Family Double Dare,” both hosted by Marc Summers, combined for a run from 1986-1993 on Nick. The format was rebooted for one season at the turn of the century as “Double Dare 2000.”

Nickelodeon also filmed a “Double Dare” special at Comic Con 2016.

A rep for Summers did not immediately respond to TheWrap‘s question about any potential involvement as host or producer. Summers produced “Double Dare 2000” and has stayed busy lately as an executive producer on food and restaurant shows.

10 Disney Cartoons That Deserve a Reboot Just Like 'DuckTales'

We can bet that you almost forgot about a few of these Disney cartoons from the 1990s and early 2000s. If "DuckTales" can get a reboot, then so should these childhood gems.
Various
"Recess"

This show just understood playground politics. Also, the "Ashleys" could have been inspiration for Regina George and her mean girls.
Disney
"Talespin"

The characters of "The Jungle Book" are reimagined into a fictional post-WWI colonial town. The show could use an updated history lesson.
Disney
"Pepper Ann"

The show is smothered in girl power. Pepper Ann's single mom was a feminist and there was always a good message to each episode. Young girls today deserve the same encouragement.
Disney
"Timon and Pumbaa"

Because "The Lion King" is one of the best original Disney movies (if not the best), why not continue with the hilarious spin-off series about BFFs Timon and Pumbaa?
Disney
"Bonkers"

Who doesn't love a washed-up show business cat that went into policing? This show only had one season and deserves to be resurfaced for its cartoony physical comedy.
Disney
"Buzz Lightyear of Star Command"

The "Toy Story" franchise will soon be up to four movies. The spin-off series about Buzz in outer space only had one season. It's only fair to bring it back.
Disney
"Lloyd In Space"

Lloyd is a totally normal teenager, experiencing the normal teenager things. Except he's an alien that lives in the future.
Disney
"Kim Possible"

The titular character fights crime by night and attends high school by day. Kim Possible is a total badass and role model. Let's bring her back on screen.
Disney
"The Proud Family"

Solange sang the theme song for the first animated Disney Channel Original Series. Maybe a reboot would include a sister-collab between Solange and Beyonce? We could only hope.
Disney
"Mighty Ducks"

Not to be confused with the live-action movie, the cartoon was about ducks that played hockey and also happened to fight crime. Oh, did we mention they're from outer space?
