Legends of the Hidden Temple
We recently got Nickeloden Games and Sports on our Satillite Programming when we switched back to Dish Network... and it brings back those old Nickeloden memories of the show "Legends of the Hidden Temple" which is umm a classic in its own right. Silver Snakes, Green Monkies, Red Jaguars, Blue Berracudas, Orange Iguanas and the lowly Purple Parrots. Anyway I was wondering this morning after watching an episode of the show... how many times did those kids ever win the show? If you have ever watched the show you know that it seemed like they never one the grand prize (usually a trip to SPACE CAMP!) I mean we all remember frustratingly yelling at those stupid kids who couldn't figure out the Shrine of the Silver Monkey... I mean it was a freaking 3 piece puzzle!
So I went online and did some research and stumbled upon like the greatest fansite of the show ever so I'm going to link it here to give it some love. http://www.geocities.com/nicklegends/
Kirk Fogg was the host of the show which ran from 1993-1995 for 120 episodes!, in that time frame there where 32 grand prize winners! Crazy right? seemed like those kids never won that many times, I mean that is a better than 25% winning percentage I would have guessed it around 3-4%.
So what team was the best? I mean we all made fun of the Purple Parrots for sucking the most... and they did infact make it to the temple the fewest times (11) but they did win 3 of those.. where as the Red Jaguars, and Orange Iguanas only won 4 times each (though they both made it a lot more times 20 and 25 respectfully). The Blue Baraccudas won 5 times out of 19 tries but the Green Monkies and Silver Sankes were the top dogs, each winning 8 times!
Anyway if you ever enjoyed watching the show, check out the fansite and take a trip down memory lane.
