Wow, Nick finally decides to bring back an old game show and they pick one of the worst ones. If you bring back a game show then you bring back Legends, complete with Kirk Fogg and Dee Bradley Baker as Olmec, AND "The Music Machine" as the composers again (The music they did was sick, it was like sweet-ass video game music). The fuck is wrong with these rat bastards? Figure It Out? How about /you/ figure it out, dipshits! No one likes this crappy show, and you didn't even bother to get Summer Sanders back? She was just on Celebrity Apprentice a year or two ago, it's not like she's any less relavent than she was before (she's also not bad to look at).

Don't act like you're going to get someone who's even the least bit funny on this damn show. No Lori Beth, no Danny, no Amanda Bynes, no Josh Server, Kenan, Kel, Michelle Trachtenberg, Marc Weiner...and I certainly don't expect cool guest panelists like Chris Jericho, Doug E. Doug (yeah, I said it) and Colin Mochrie. Here we go, folks, that guy from iCarly...wait, I can't think of any relavent Nick shows right now. The fact that there is a live action show called "Supah Ninjas" makes me gag.

Nick...what have you done?! You are destroying the beauty of your once great network and are filling it with the drivel the current generation of kids believe is funny, which is a poison to the rest of us. I know this new, ADD generation keeps asking for more *cue multiple zoom ins and outs* "RANDOM DANCING", but I will not stand for it. Meet our demands, Nick, or see our nation crumble in the wake of Carly's minions. These are our future leaders, and in about 40 years, our new national anthem may be a rendition of "Living La Vida Loca" by Big Time Rush. You just think about that.

This man, right here ^ for president. Fuck Mitt Romney. Anyone who mentions little Pete and Iggy Pop's daughter in the same sentence has got to be one of the coolest fucking people on the entire fucking planet! Period. The only show which comes close to harnessing the comedic formulae of the 90's is "Scrubs".

Thank you, kind sir. In all seriousness, I really just don't understand why they never brought back a lot of these game shows that were great. We all know the classic shows hold a great deal of meaning to us and were a big part of what had drawn us to Nick, but the game shows were also a big part of that as we've discussed before. What Would You Do?, Double Dare, Legends, Guts...the list goes on, the point is I watched that channel religiously waiting for these shows to come on and I know others did too.

This is 2012, those were the 90s...you'd think with all the new technology and other advancements over the last decade or so that we could have some cool additions to these shows if they were brought back, or at the very least they shouldn't decrease in quality. Video games were cool, then they were a nerdy thing, and nowadays they are definitely more mainstream (CoD, WoW, etc...bleh, but the fact remains). Legends was pretty much a real-life Indiana Jones-esque video game adventure. The props were sick, the music was like awesome video game music (especially the temple theme), they had cool stories from history, and you couldn't be a complete dumbass and win cause you had to make it past the steps of knowledge. Plus all the challenges looked hella fun, and the temple was the best part with having the pendants and being able to find one half if you made it there with the other half and the music and the overlay map like a video game and the damn temple guards and the SHRINE OF THE SILVER MONKEY.

Look, obviously Legends is one of my favorite shows ever, but the point I'm getting at is who wouldn't want to try that or watch it? Who wouldn't want to pie their mom's face? Who doesn't want a glowing piece of that radical rock and do a victory lap with their country's flag? This shit was super entertaining; I know I'd want my kid to bring that radical rock back home or escape from the temple with The Mask of Shaka Zulu. You'd think with all of these hyperactive kids today that they'd want a few of these shows around to calm their asses down. I suppose this new announcement does show signs of Nick going back to an older show, particularly a game show, so maybe there is a ray of hope yet on the horizon.
