Good Game Show! Had potential. Remember catching it when I was 16 back in 1976....

[@NathanielRussell1965]

Would love for this game to come back.

Beat the Spoilers is like final jeopardy except the spoilers do not make wagers and they do not lose money for wrong answers.

[@MMB18abel]

I know it's nearly 40 years ago, but that bonus round with the Spoilers had me on the edge of my seat.

Johnny Olson was the original announcer for Double Dare. Around early 1977, Gene Wood replaced him as announcer.

I Like Double Dare

[@markyboughter1087]

I saw that glitch on buzzr network

[@ericmodzelesky4810]

She refused to play Queen Elizabeth I in a school play. Saying she wasn't suited for the part of a spinster.
One writer said: "She is the sort of boy Prince Philip would have liked to have had".
One magazine writer said: "Her features ...are what royalty watchers describe as Hanoverian-a bit outsize".
In 1973, She married Mark Phillips in Westminster Abbey.

very nostalgic shows

Aired January 3, 1977

Most believed this show was too dark for daytime tv because of the soundproof booths. As for the theme song, we know it would later be associated with an exciting card game on NBC known as "Card Sharks" beginning in 1978, one year after the cancellation of "Double Dare" with Alex Trebek who would host "Jeopardy!"

[@georgemaster9952]

You know something,the theme to Double Dare ,when Card Sharks used it seemed slightly altered because it was not the exact music.Listen to the two themes one after the other,and you'll notice a difference.

[@tnawcwvictoria]

Double Dare was INDEED a great Game Show that took Isolation Booths to a whole new level
Trebek would return to NBC with High Rollers and later Battlestars and Classic Concentration and the theme to DD would later be reused for Card Sharks w/the late Jim Perry who would later host another NBC Game Show in $ale of the Century

[@brycelandon6387]

I've seen the first 14 episodes of DD. Where is episode 15?

[@DoctorJaguarChannel]

Card Sharks anyone?

[@jackbusby9602]

I recognize that music too.

[@paullarue2010]

$5,000?

[@ericnelson9100]

Ed rocking the 70's newly divorced dad toupee; not that hair pieces have in any improved over the decades!

[@JeopardyandWheelFan]

I think that whenever the contestants were tied at $450 apiece, they should have left the opponent's booth open whenever a contestant buzzed in. I say that because in that situation, there was no dare or double dare necessary since the next correct answer would win the game for either of them.

[@byrd56]

But there's that rule on the show where if the player who buzzes in first is wrong, his booth is closed and his opponent automatically sees the next clue. So who knows what would have happened in that regard?

[@wschmrdr]

If it's wrong, the other player gets a penalty clue and a free guess, a clue which, if the free guess is wrong, the penalized player does not see at all.

[@zfilms4858]

Also, I thought it was 550 to win

[@psychopathyoutubeemployees280]

@@zfilms4858 - It's $500.

[@pem1974]

Is it just me, or does Alan Lusher come off as a bit cocky?

[@rodney1279TheFlip]

Not cocky at all. I think he had a disability but he was a bright contestant.
