When I first heard that the legendary Nickelodeon game show "Double Dare" was coming out of retirement I was really excited and bringing Marc Summers was great but he was put on the announcers side which was disappointing because he was the one responsible for this show being such a hit in the 90's. Instead they bring in a new host Liza Koshy (Who at the time had no clue who she was) and I thought was okay but I feel like she was trying way too hard to impress an audience let alone the contestants with new school tact's. Personally she would have been better being the co host of the show instead of being the host.

I'm happy they revived the show but next season Liza needs to switch places with Marc Summers because honestly he knows how to be a great host and joke teller was the best part of this whole season and Liza not so much.

Double Dare was my favorite series and this remake has not done it justice.

I love Liza and she is an okay host, but is lacking the excitement and humor Marc was able to bring to the show. The trivia questions are too easy. I recently watched the original Double Dare again just to compare, and it was indeed more challenging and based on more areas of general knowledge questions. The series is also missing its wacky camera angles of the obstacle course at the end, and preview of prizes to be won. The kids only win huge amounts of cash and no prizes as the original, which makes it less exciting in my opinion.

On the plus, the set has been made up really amazingly and has a similar feel to the original. They also kept the original music, and reused some of the original obstacles.

So Marc Summers, the original host of the show is there.. but I don't understand what his role is.

I've seen him step in on the spot when the other host had voice issues, and he was incredible. After all he hosted double dare and family double dare before this.

Marc summers looks extraordinary good for his age in my opinion. He could host this show for another 20 years. I mean he's already there on set, I legitimately don't understand the hosting dynamic, it's weird.

I don't have any qualms with the lady hosting the show, but it just doesn't make any sense.

I'm probably missing something, I must be. Right?

Can anyone tell me why Marc Summers isn't THE host of this show?

How can they bring back our beloved double dare and not use the same host..basically put him on the sidelines and force him to watch this annoying talentless hack butcher the entire show. Why the nostalgia but with all the modern day bs pushed into it? Horrible host, tries too hard.."the og of dd"? Stop with the ghetto bs cmon already..leave our childhood alone and stop remaking shows movies and butchering them. 3 out of 10 because mark is in it..I watched 5 episodes in a row, deleted the rest..horrible idea with this young youtube "star" #stopmakingstupidpeoplefamous

I was an avid fan of the show back in the day. Excited to have a fun modern resurgence of this fun Nickelodeon Dynasty! While there are some differences, the core fun and wacky antic are still present.

It's also a joy to see our fateful captain now sitting in the emcee seat along with the charismatic Liza running the entertaining chaos.

Thank you Nickelodeon for giving me the chance to share this part of my childhood with my own kids.

The new host is annoying and makes me cringe at times. She seems to be trying way too hard, and often loses her voice. What bothers me the most about her is that she shows her feminism on the show. By watching every episode so far, I have noticed several times that she believes that girls are better than boys, which shouldn't be allowed on a kids show. Also, they get a little political and you can tell the staff is Obama fans, most of the political questions are about him, with the exception of Abraham Lincoln (at the time I'm writing this, 19 episodes have been aired). They need to take politics out of the game altogether if they are just going to be one sided about it. The only good thing about the show is that Marc Summers is still in the show, just wish that he was still hosting instead of co-hosting.

I enjoyed both versions. Pretty fun to watch. I'm only giving it a 8/10 because of the new version. The older version was the best. But the newer version on the other hand wasn't the best. The challenges weren't as good and the old slide that was called Brainstorm of something like that wasn't there in the newer version. And for me, that was the best part. That's why I rate this as a 8. But they tried and it was successful. They just should have had some older stuff that they used to have. But they were probably worried about "safety"

A cheap empty version of a past good show. This version is loud, boring, and double the lameness. Great for clueless 8 year-olds, a middle finger to past viewers.

The new host is awesome nice change looks like fun

This is hilarious: you tried to bring back double dare, but the new host isn't even all that good. She in fact makes me cringe real bad just by viewing the commercials. Even just watching her host the show gives me a headache. Just as the reviewer TruthHurtsGood said: it's loud, boring, and double the lamness. Know why the original host is even on this show? *He's a marketing tool being used basically*. Remember Crashletes? He's just there to make past viewers who watched the original Double Dare feel good to see him again. But this is just horrible...stop the nonsense already. I also noticed just like someone here some hints of feminism from this "host" and it's tiresome seeing it.

Don't watch this show, don't waste your time like others/myself who are sensible here did to inform you about this show. My younger sisters can't even stand the show, you're better off looking at Jeopardy instead of this terrible remake.

It's great they brought Marc back, but he should have just solo hosted. Nothing against the new host, but this show does not need co hosts.

Nick did Great job finding a wonderful Host, and Marc is still around its the age old complaint below to some of these. People Marc i am sure was happy to hand over the hosting job and they both do fanstic job the Host is upbeat funny and cute. this is only fun for 8 year old? there tough questions in here many of you wouldn't know and there easy ones. It easy to s it and say this is lame triva but many adults have miss questions.

I love Double Dare!! I don't care if Marc or Liza is host!! It's a game show for the whole family. The new Double Dare is more messy than the original and that's cool with me!! I just wish Double Dare will come back for another season.

I have to say I could watch this show for no other reason that to see the quick-wit of Liza Koshy. I think of the likes of David Letterman, Conan OBrien, Howard Stern who have proven over decades to be fast/funny and in control of their domains. She seems as comfortable as a person can be at all times on screen and I doubt there are very many retakes because of her. I'm sure others will mention the more synoptic aspects of this show, but Liza nailed everything necessary to add a second level to the show.
