“I remember watching this show when I was young, and for years all I ever wanted was to be on it. Sadly, no such luck.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis was a fun show that kept me and a million other kids coming back every week. Iu0026#39;m afraid Iu0026#39;ll have to correct a previous reviewer that this show consisted of six teams and four rounds, not four and three. To trim the fat down to four, the teams had to cross a u0026quot;moatu0026quot; using some cleverly named u0026quot;ancientu0026quot; apparatus. Once across, four teams would listen to a giant stone head tell them a u0026quot;legendu0026quot; (normally a story from history, occassionally mythology), and answer questions on it. The crux of the game was an object from the u0026quot;legendu0026quot; placed in the temple. After that, the two remaining teams would do battle against one another to enter the temple. Prizes were won if the team retrieved the object.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhenever I flip around and see reruns of this, I smile and remember my younger days. While this show of course wonu0026#39;t have such meaning for anyone else who today watches it, itu0026#39;s always fun to suspend reality and root along something that happened 5-10 years ago. This show would still work if it were produced today (the target audience wouldnu0026#39;t care about repetition) just as it did then. A nostalgic show for me, a nice time for virtually anyone.”
