Nickelodeon gave us alot to be thankful for in its first ten years. Classic shows like You Can't Do That On Television, Double Dare, Pinwheel, and Mr. Wizard's World provided great entertainment for children of the 80s. These ground-breaking shows paved the way for the cable network's national success throughout the 90s and through the present day. Nick proved it didn't take big budget shows to entertain kids, just shows that challenged our minds and were the definition of fun...giving us many reasons why we loved Nickelodeon in the 80s!

Many versions of Double Dare would air over the years including Family Double Dare, Celebrity Double Dare, and the messiest of them all Super Sloppy Double Dare. At the turn of the century, Double Dare 2000 was released on Nickelodeon with a new host, new set, and larger physical challenges. But despite the grand scale, the revamped show never made it passed its first year. In April 2012, the Orlando hotel Nickelodeon Suites Resort began offering a "Double Dare Live" show for its guests to compete against each other.
