The first 4 teams to hit the gong would go on to the next round. Team members would have to cross the moat in varying ways and hit the gong on the opposite side. The first round that the players competed in was called The Moat. Dang, the kids that made it this far must have been exhausted. By the time that they got around to recording the final round, it would sometimes be after 10 or 11 PM and Universal Studios had closed for the day so there was no live audience to watch the final round, lol. So all 3-5 episodes of the day would record round 1, then round 2, then round 3, then the final round. Usually Legends would film like 3-5 episodes per day and they'd break filming up into segments. These teams names are LEGENDARY and they were known as the Red Jaguars, Blue Barracudas, Green Monkeys, Orange Iguanas, Purple Parrots, and Silver Snakes.

The teams were also color coordinated and had an animal logo represented on their shirts. They were then split into 6 teams of 2 players each, one boy and one girl. To make it through the casting process, contestants had to pass some basic physical tests and a written test on history and geography. The stars of the show were Kirk Fogg, the host, and a talking stone head named Olmec.Ĭontestants on the show were anywhere from 11 to 14 years old (though some turned 15 before filming started). The end goal of the game was to have the contestants retrieve the artifact from within the temple. Each episode featured a 'legend' of a historical or mythological figure and an artifact (real or fictional) closely related to them. Little Pupa was instantly enraptured by this show and once it started airing on week nights, I'd have to set my VCR to record it while I was at soccer practice. For reference, I was 6-7 years old in 1993. It ran for 3 season, 120 episodes, until it ended in 1995.

Legends of the Hidden Temple was a children's game show that premiered on the Nickelodeon channel in 1993. So lemme explain a little bit about Legends and what kind of show it was before we jump into the episodes. Hey CTS! I never make threads on CTS, but I've suddenly come into some free time and I got Paramount+ so I figured why not rewatch Legends of the Hidden Temple?! This show was my entire childhood and I love nostalgic shit.
